February 2, 2022

Pinaghalong saya at kaba ang nararamdaman ni Marcus habang nasa back stage sila ng grupo.

This is it! The Cassio's greatest comeback.

"We can do this, guys! "Jin cheered his members. As a leader he make sue that his mates are in great shape.

As what the Cassiopeia Entertainment company decided, February will be their comeback. At bago nga dumating ang buwan na iyon, matapos mag-propose ni Marcus kay Alexa ay sari-saring endorsement ang natanggap nila. Mga naglalakihang company ang kumuha sa kanila para maging ambassador nila.

Kahit noon pa man ay marami na silang nirerepresenta na damit at iba pang bagay, mas marami nga lang ngayon.

February 2 when they signed up for 5 years performance. Apat na taon bago sila matapos sa kontrata. After 3 years of disband their group is back to serve for another 5 years in Entertainment industry before they put an end to their groups legacy.

Marcus let out a deep sighed and smiled. A platform lift them up above the stage and when they are on the top, a loud crowd surprised them. Mas triple ang dami at ingay ng mga Cassian ngayon. Kahit na ang pinakamalayong upuan ay nagkakahalagang 100, 000 won o nasa 4, 000 pesos sa Pilipinas.

This first era concert of Cassio is held in Seoul, South Korea. At talagang napaka expensive ng ticket na kung pwede lang nila babaan ay gagawin na but where's the thrill on that?

But the fans are lucky, dahil ang mga kapares ng bawat isa sa kanila ay nag-ambag-ambag para mag-provide ng lunch para 3.5 million attendees.

"I bet they are all happy, let's make this concert worth their money. "

"Annyeonghaseyo! We are so happy to see you all here Cassian! Jin at your service. "Jin started. All they can hear is their loud shout and their happy face.

"We all face storms and hurricanes in our life. Thank you for believing for us, thank you for standing with us until this time. We are so proud of you seeing you all fighting! Your one and only, Sam! "Sam said.

"Thank you for your warm welcome, Cassian! It feels like heaven to see you all! From your only moon, Annyeonghaseyo I'm Ben! "

"I'm always greatful to have you. At worst you stand for us. Thank you for believing to our group. I'm Evren. "

"Do you all still remember us all? I hope so, because Cassian are here all of the time. Mio at your service, our Cassians! "Mio said while pointing his heart.

Marcus smiled to everyone. "7 years, rain or shine, you'll be always our Cassian and we will be always your Cassio. I'm glad to see the galaxy we created with love and hope. And of course, I'm your happy virus, in front of you, Marcus! "He bowed in front of them. All of them cheered in happiness.

Cassio start performing for their first song until their last song. Sa oras na matapos ang 4 months World tour nila ay maglalabas sila ng bago nilang album. Kinakabahan si Marcus para sa bago nilang kanta. Will they like it? Or will this flop?

Cassian is their new album with atleast 6 songs. My bright Sun, Dearest Planet, Shooting Star, Lovely Moon, Dark Constellation, Endless Galaxy.

Before the end of the event, the group give a small bag with a little present inside of it.

"Please, accept our little gift for all of you. You don't know how thanful we are having you all. You showered us love and support. You believe on us in the time we can't trust our self. We are not here if you didn't believe with us, we are standing infront of you all with confidences because you trust us that we can reach our dream. "Sam said.

"And it's the same with you, our beloved Cassian. We believe in you and even no one are there for you always remember that we are. Let's all continue chasing our dreams because soon, it will be yours. "Evren said.

"Keep believing in yourself. Trust God our almighty creator. Believe and work for it. No matter what happened don't give up because dark is not permanent, a bright sun will rise to give you hope for your bright tomorrow. "

Katatapos lang nila Marcus sa pagpopromote ng bago nilang album. Cassian-their new album- became a big hit world wide.

"Jagi, you looked pale. "Saad ni Alexa habang pinupunasan siya nito ng pawis. Ngumiti lang si Marcus. "Chasing dreams is not bad at all. "

Tumango si Alexa. "You are right, your hardwork and sacrifice, it's all worth it, jagi. "

Marcus held her hand and lift it. He planted little kisses on her hand. "I love you, Jagi. Thank you for believing me, Alexa. Soon, this will end and I'll be with you. After this I will shower all my love and time to you and to our future family. "

Alexa smiled. "You know na hindi naman ako nagmamadali. Time will only knows when we are ready for it. For now, let's enjoy this moment. I love you. "

"Umiinom ka ba ng vitamins? At least rest for 8 hours a day okay? Puspusan ang trabaho niyo this past 3 months para sa new album niyo. Basta huwag mong pababayaan ang kalusugan mo, jagi. Nagkakaintindihan ba tayo? "Mahigpit na bilin ni Alexa. Alam kasi ng dalaga na kulang ito sa tulog at puspusan din ang dance and vocal practice nila. Kabi-kabilaan din ang promotion, endorsement at mga fan-meeting ng grupo. Kaya siniguro niyang hindi mapapabayaan ang kalusugan ng anim kaya nagpadala siya ng mga doctor na magmomonitor sa kalusugan nila.

A week later...

February 22, 2022

Hindi mapakali si Alexa. Tinawagan kasi siya ng manager ng Cassio na na-involve raw sa aksidente papuntang Manila. Sakto naman na nasa isang medical mission ang dalaga at hindi niya maiwasang mabahala.

"Oh anong balita? "Nag-aalalang tanong ni Alexa kay Knight na kausap niya sa telepono.

"Sinugod na sila sa hospital. Mukhang si Marcus ang pinakanapu-"

"Oh my! "Napahilamos ng mukha si Alexa. Ibinaba niya ang cellphone. Kasulukuyan siyang naghihintay sa sasabihin ng Head nila.

Bumukas ang pinto kaya napatayo si Alexa. Napabilang kasi ang dalaga sa mga doctor na ipinadala sa isang gyera sa middle east.

"Ahm, ma'am? "Nagtataka siya bakit nakangiti ito e lagi namang nagsusungit sa kaniya.

"You can leave now, Doctora Montreal. I already book the flight for you tonight. Here's your ticket. "Inabutan pa siya ng ticket at passport nito pauwi.

Ang eroplanong binook ng boss ni Alexa ay sa Clark Airport bababa which is na ipinagtaka niya dahil sa Manila Airport dapat dahil naroon ang kaniyang irog.

Hindi na nagsayang pa ng oras si Alexa at nagmamadaling pumunta sa airport matapos niyang mag-ayos ng mga gamit na dadalhin.

Nagtataka nga ang dalaga bakit pinapasuot siya ng boss niya ng off shoulder white dress. Ang sagot lang nito ay dahil doctora siya kailangan niyang maging presentable. Napailing na lang siya habang nasa eroplano. Mabuti na lang at mayroon siyang light brown blazer.

"Please be safe... "Nitong February 13 noong unang concert nila ay makikita na hindi maganda ang kalusugan ng binata tapos dumagdag pa ang nangyari ngayon. Kung may mangyayaring masama kay Marcus, she will quit in Med field dahil hindi niya maatim na tawagin ang sarili na doktora kung sakaling hindi niya matulungan si Marcus.

"Ladies and gentlemen, [Clark International Airlines] welcomes you to City of San Fernando Pampanga. The local time is 6:00 pm. For your safety and the safety of those around you, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisles clear until we are parked at the gate. "

Nagtataka si Alexa ng may binigay sa kaniya ang flight attendant ng isang blindfold. "What is this for? "She asked.

"Your family request it for you. They don't want to see you in tears. Please wear it as you enter the airport facilities. "she said and leave.

Tumingin si Alexa sa bintana. Pababa na ang eroplano. Napapikit siya. She will be surely in tears once na may nangyaring masama kay Marcus.

On the other side, Marcus is nervous and at the same is excited. It's a shutgun wedding for him and Alexa. Inupahan niya ang isang parte sa airport kung saan sila muling nagkita.

"Bro, relax. You are losing your cool. "Knight said and patted his shoulder. "Can't help it. I hope she don't get mad. "

Knight laughed at him. "She will surely get mad at you. You make fun of your own life, duh. "

They both don't have father. Kung kaya si Doctor Callahan ang tumayong ama nila at siyang maglalakad kay Alexa sa altar papunta kay Marcus. Halos kapusin ng hininga si Marcus ng makitang akay-akay na ni Doctor Callahan patungo sa kaniya si Alexa. Si Alexa na naka-blindfold at walang kaalam-alam na ikakasal na siya. The wedding is grand but the clothes they wear is simple but yet elegant and classic.

"This is it, "he said to his self.

Alexa is at the half of the aisle when Dr. Callahan took off her blindfold and her maid of honor-non other than her brother's wife-Trina Fonacier-Montreal-hand her a bouquet of red tulips and put a white wedding veil made up of lace that is embroided with gold linen.

Alexa on the other hand, can't believe what she saw. She is in her freaking wedding and she is happy about it. Marcus really did it. He presented to her that he will going to marry her in the place where they fall inlove with each other.

She is speechless but happy though. "Good luck, princess. "She saw her mother Clarita mouthed. While her mommy Lydia is in tears.

"Bakit hindi niyo naman po ako iniform? I'm always ready naman for wedding. "

Natawa si Dr. Callahan sa kaniya. "Kaya nga suprise, doktora. Tsaka masyadong mahal na mahal ka ni Marcus. Kahit nasa kasagsagan siya ng kasikatan nila e puspusan pa rin siya sa paghahanda sa kasal niyo. "

"You are lucky to have him, Alexa. Ibang-iba siya sa ama mo at masasabi kung maganda ang future mo sa kaniya. Andami niyang plano para sa inyo, "he said.

Ngumiti si Alexa. "Thank you, tito. And yes, I'm really lucky to have him. Wala na akong mahihiling pa, "saad ni Alexa.

Nang marating nila ang kinaroroonan ni Marcus ay nagbeso-beso pa siya kay Knight. Samantala ay nagmano sila sa kani-kanilang mga magulang na naroon.

Nang magtama ang paningin ng dalawa ay naroon pa rin ang kislap sa kanilang mga mata. They sweetly smiled at each other.

"Please take care of my daughter, hijo, "wika ni Lydia.

"Don't worry about your marriage. Take care of yourselves instead, "payo naman ni Clarita sa dalawa.

Tumango lang sila at nagpasalamat. Masuyong hinawakan ni Marcus ang kamay ni Alexa bago nito hinalikan ang likod ng kamay ng irog. Hinawakan at marahang inalalayan ni Marcus si Alexa.

"You always surprise me, jagi. "

Marcus smiled at her. "I'll always surprise and make you happy, Alexa. You are my life and everything. And I'll do everything to make you happy. "

"And I'll do everything to make you healthy, my star. "

The wedding started. The priest start the traditional Catholic wedding ritual. Kaibigan, pamilya at mga ibang fans ay naroon para saksihan ang live wedding ceremony nila Marcus at Alexa. At lahat ay masaya para sa dalawa. Meron namang mga bitter na hindi pa rin maka-move on pero hindi naman nanggulo.

"Kim Min Yeong, do you take Alexa Aleejah Montreal whom you now hold by the hand to be your lawfully wedded wife, according to God's holy decree; do you promise to be her loving husband, to cherish and keep her in sickness and in health, in life and in death, and forsaking all others, to be faithful only to her for eternity and love her endlessly and unconditionally? "

Hawak-hawak ang kamay at masuyong tinitigan si Alexa. His eyes say it all.  "Yes, I do. "

Napangiti ang pari at tsaka bumaling kay Alexa.

"Alexa Aleejah Montreal, do you take Kim Min Yeong whom you now hold by the hand to be your lawfully wedded husband, according to God's holy decree; do you promise to be his loving wife, to cherish and keep him in sickness and in health, in life and in death, and forsaking all others, to be faithful only to him for eternity and love him endlessly and unconditionally? "

Matamis na ngumiti si Alexa. "Yes, I do. "Puno ng pagmamahal na sagot ng dalaga.

Nakaharap si Alexa kay Marcus, marahil maraming nagtataka bakit hindi siya ikinasal sa simbahan, dahil mas gusto niyang maganap ang kasal nila sa lugar kung saan sila unang umibig.

At hindi inakala ni Marcus na ang batang tinulungan niya noon ay ang babaeng papakasalan niya at makakasama niya sa habang buhay na noon ay pangarap niya lamang.

"Groom, please repeat after me. "Saad ng pari at humarap kay Marcus.

"I, Kim Min Yeong, take you, Alexa Aleejah Montreal, to be my wedded wife, to have
and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part. This is my solemn vow. "

Bumaling naman ang pari kay Alexa. "Bride, please repeat after me. "

"I, Alexa Aleejah Montreal, take you, Kim Min Yeong, to be my wedded husband, to have
and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part. This is my solemn vow. "

Hindi mabilis hindi rin mabagal ang pagkakabigkas nila sa kanilang wedding vow. Kundi ninanamnam, masuyo at buong puso ang bawat pagbigkas nila.

Lumapit sa kanila ang ring bearer at iniabot ang kanilang mga sing-sing. A two Marquise ring with an emerald in the middle of the cut and it's ring is made up of 24 karat gold.

"The wedding ring serves as a symbol of the promises you have just spoken. It is the outward and visible sign of an inward and invisible love that binds your two hearts together. The wedding ring also is a symbol of what God is. Like the ring your are holding, he is without beginning and without end—He is eternal. May your love to each other is eternal and everlasting. "

The two emotionally exchange their rings and as the priest announced them as husband and wife, they passionately kissed each other infront of the crowd in front of the universe.

A star falling to a amazing girl is not bad at all. It's a modern fairytale that occurs one in a life time. But fame can't tame love. Only your heart can tell who you love and God can only tell who is the right person destined to love you. You just need to patiently wait and trust the process because God is preparing something great than you expected to happen.

Alexa and Marcus, even in the most difficult situation in their life, God make a path for them to find each other. Their past doesn't define who they are and who are the deserving people to be with them.

This chapter may end here but it will make way to open a new chapters for their life. The book will never closed until they are alive. It will continue to flow like a water and grow like a beautiful butterfly.

Like the stories in fairytale, they may not live forever happy.

But...

They live together in happiness and in sadness. Love each other endlessly and unconditionally.
