Pagbaba niya narinig niyang may humintong sasakyan sa tapat nila nagtanong siya sa mama niya kung sino ang dumating.
"Baka sila Alex na yan. Hayan na siguro yung binili nilang sasakyan. Sabi ng nanay niya.
"Ano hong sasakyan ma? Tanong niya sa ina she was so confused bakit bumili si Alex at ang tatay niya ng sasakyan.
"Eh kaya sila lumabas ng tatay mo para daw bumili ng sasakyan kasi baka madalas na daw pumarito yang si Alex para masubaybayang lumaki ang anak nyo.. tugon ng mama niya. She didn't see it coming hindi niya napaghandaan ang ganung set up, oo nga pala yun ang consequences ng pag sabi niya kay alex na nagkaanak sila, siyempre magdedemand ito ng custody ng bata at that thought medyo kinakabahan siya what if kunin nga nito ang anak nila. May kaya pa naman ito sa buhay he can always do that.

Sinalubong nila sa labas ng bahay ang mga ito kinuha naman niya agad sa Tatay niya si Allen tulog na tulog ang anak niya. Si Alex ang nagdrive at ang tatay niya ang nagkarga sa anak niya. Kinuha ng nanay niya ang mga pinamili ng mga ito malamang ito ang dadalhin nila sa outing bukas. Si Alex naman binitbit ang mga gamit ng bata, nakasunod ito sa kanya paakyat sa kwarto nilang mag ina.
Nang makapasok sa loob ng kwarto inilapag agad niya ang bata sa crib. Binalingan niya si Alex nilalapag na nito ang mga gamit.
"Alex, why did you buy a car? She asked him. Lumingon ito sa kanya naka kunot noo.
"Oh that, well I decided I needed one especially when I'm here and when Allen grow up he can use it for school service. Saad nito na parang bumili lang ng bisekleta.
"Do you plan to stay here longer? Coz you know you can just go back to London and continue working there. I can take care of my son. Sabi niya dito na medyo tinarayan pa ito.
"What's? Are you telling me what to do.?he was also my son Belle don't you forget that. Tugon nito at tinalikuran siya lumabas ito ng kwarto. Napabuga nalang siya sa inis nya dito.

Nasa harap na sila ng hapag kainan tahimik lang siya habang ang magulang niya at si Alex ay panay na ang plano para sa outing nila kinabukasan. Malimit siyang tignan ni Alex pero panay iwas din pag nagsasalubong ang mga mata nila.
Nang matapos silang maghapunan nagprisinta siyang siya na ang maghuhugas ng plato habang ang mama niya ang nag imis ng mga kalat, samantalang ang tatay naman niya ay nasa balkonahe nila kasama si Alex naglabas ang tatay niya ng alak yung mamahalin matagal na  nitong itinatago yun at ngayon lang nito iyon ilalabas.
"Isabelle maglabas ka nga ng baso namin nitong si Alex dito. Utos ng tatay niya sa kanya.
"Opo. Sagot niya at sumunod sa utos ng ama.
Inilapag niya ang baso at pitsel ng tubig sa lamesang nasa harap ng mga ito.
"Here anak you hab to taste this liquor. Baluktot na ingles ng tatay niya Kay Alex.
"Yeah. Thank you Tay. Alex answered at medyo nagulat siya sa pagtawag nitong tay sa tatay niya.
At iniwan na niya ang mga ito, sinabihan siya ng nanay niya na matulog na at maaga daw silang aalis kinabukasan tumalima naman siya at pumasok na sa kwarto nilang mag ina.

Gusto Sana niyang makausap si Alex at sabihin ditong tumigil na sa ginagawa nitong pagsasabi ng kung ano ano sa mga magulang niya kaso di naman siya maka timing dahil madalas kausap nito ang ama niya. Nahiga na lang siya para matulog na, maaga daw sila kasi kinabukasan.

Kinaumagahan alas singko pa lang gising na ang lahat pati nga anak niya naki join na din sa pag gising ng maaga. Naghanda na sila ng dadalhin nila at maya maya pa ng konte dumating ang kuya niya kasama ang asawa't mga anak nito. Nagulat siya kasi kasama pala din ang mga ito hindi siya na inform. Anu bang nangyari sa earth bakit wala siyang kamalay malay sa mga pangyayari, nag set ng outing si Alex kasama ang pamilya niya na hindi siya sinabihan at kahapon niya lang nalaman na mag oouting sila.

Nasa loob na sila ng sasakyan yung kuya niya ang nagdrive habang ang tatay niya ang umupo sa unahan at si Alex tumabi naman sa kanilang mag ina. Ang saya ng kwentuhan sa sasakyan at siyempre pa todo entertain ang pamilya niya kay Alex. And he seems to be enjoying it naman. Kinuha nito mula sa kanya si Allen at nilaro nito ang anak nila super tawa naman ang bata dahil kinikiliti ito ni Alex, and by that sight she was touched.

Nakarating sila sa isang beach resort sa pagudpod may nakareserve na silang accommodation Doon and it was a whole house. Gusto niyang iconfront si Alex kasi alam niyang ito ang gumastos sa lahat at nahihiya siya dito kasi hindi naman nito iyon dapat ginagawa sa pamilya niya.

Hindi pa din pala natatapos dun ang shocked niya sa araw na iyon Kasi maya maya pa sila Stella,ang inaanak niya at si Carlo naman ang dumating, anu bang nangyari bakit mukhang meron silang reunion at hindi siya aware,. Nang magtatanghali na ang ate naman niya at ang mga anak nito ang dumating wala ang bayaw niya busy daw ito sa bukid.

"Anu bang nangyayari bakit lahat kayo nandito? Hindi nakatiis na tanong niya sa mga ito nakaupo sila sa isang kubo house na malapit sa dagat kasalukuyan silang nag iihaw ng mga pagkain.
"Ha? Hindi mo ba alam. Magsasalita pa sana ang ate nya ng pasimpleng sikuin ito ng nanay nila kaya tumugil ito, nakita naman niya iyon pero di na niya binigyan ng ibang kahulugan pa.

Nagliguan na ang lahat sa dagat at hawak ni Alex si baby Allen nakapang swimming ang mag ama.
"Your taking the baby with you surfing? Nakakunot noong tanong niya Kay Alex may hawak din kasi itong surfing board.
"Yap, I will teach this young dude to swim and surf. Nakangiting tugon nito.
" Alex you can't do that it's too dangerous what if the baby get drown. Tugon niya dito, she was a little bit nervous about their child. Di kasi siya marunong lumangoy kaya paranoid siya at natatakot siya para sa anak.
"Hey, I'm a surfer right?, don't you worry I can handle this. Bigay assurance nito sa kanya. Naglagay ito ng life jacket kay Allen pumapalakpak pa ang anak nila at para itong excited din.

"Hala look at your son girl close na close na sila ng ama niya. Saad ni Stella naka halukipkip siya habang nakatanaw sa mga ito.
"Grabe talaga yang lalaking yan pati yung bata tuturuan ng surf surf na yan. Naasar na saad niya.
" Ano ka ba ang OA mo ha sa ibang bansa baby pa lang tinitrain nang lumangoy noh saka naka life jacket ang anak mo. Stella said.
"Sa ibang bansa yun, nasa pinas siya. Sagot niya. At nagmamaktol na umalis sa pampang sumunod naman sa kanya si Stella.

After they eat lunch nagkanya kanya ng pahinga ang mga ito, kinuha niya si Allen at ipinasok sa kwartong inukopa nila at pinatulog niya ang anak doon. At since medyo napagod din siya nahiga din siya and take a nap.

Paggising niya namulatan niya si Alex nasa tabi ito ni baby Allen at himbing din sa pagtulog, hindi niya ito namalayang pumasok maybe because nahimbing din Siya ng tulog. She checked the time alas kwarto pasado na ng hapon, dahan dahan siyang bumangon at nilagyan ng harang na unan sa tabi ng anak at saka siya lumabas bago siya nakalabas ng pinto ng kwarto tinitigan muna niya ang mag ama at parang ang sarap sa pakiramdam na pagmasdan ang mga itong natutulog, kung sana totoo ito at complete family nga sila kaso hindi kailanman yun mangyayari dahil may Aira na ito. She sigh and just get out of the room.

Nadatnan niya sa kitchen ng bahay na inokupa nila ang nanay niya at mga kapatid at si Stella nagkkwentuhan ang mga ito habang naghahanda ng hapunan natgilan nga ang mga ito pagkakita sa kanya na dumating.
"Bakit anong meron? Tanong niya sa mga ito sabay upo sa naroong upuan.
"Oh Isabelle gising ka na pala asan yung mag ama mo? Tanong ng nanay niya sa kanya.
"Tulog pa sila ma. Sagot naman niya sa ina.
Nakitulong na din siya sa paghihimay ng gulay.
"Uy belle labas tayo mamayang gabi ha mag bar hopping Tayo. Tugon naman ni Stella.
"Hmmnn sige sure. Sagot naman niya, siguro kailangan niyang mag unwind para ma refresh ang utak niya.

Pagkatapos nilang maghapunan nagyaya ang mama niyang maglakad lakad daw sa dalampasigan. And since karga niya ang anak at panay na ang likot nito kinuha ni Alex sa kanya ang bata naki join din kasi ito at nasa likod nilang mag ina.
"Come to daddy baby.
Alex said to baby Allen iniabot naman agad ng bata ang kamay dito at nagsisigaw pa halatang excited.
"Look mommy is so pretty tonight. Tugon ni Alex while talking to their son.
Napalingon naman siya dito and he saw him wink at her. Bigla siyang namula at naglakad nalang ahead of them. Ano bat affected pa din siya sa mga munting compliments nito sa kanya.
Biglang nag ring ang phone ni Alex kinuha nito iyon from the back pocket of his pants and answer the phone call.
"Hello, oh Aira what's up? Bungad nito sa kausap na nasa kabilang linya.
Sinenyasan siya nitong kunin si baby Allen at dali dali naman siyang tumalima and since mukhang busy ito sa kausap nagpaalam na lang siya sa nanay niya sinabi niyang papatulugin lang niya ang anak sa kwarto tumango naman ang nanay niya at hindi na niya nilingon si Alex at umalis na sila ni baby Allen.

Mabilis namang nakatulog ang anak niya, maya maya pa ay nagmessage na si Stella sa kanyang messenger saying na magbihis na daw siya. Agad naman siyang naglabas ng damit sa maletang dinala niya at buti na lang meron siyang nadalang damit panlakad, it was a knee length floral dress at pinartneran niya lang ng flat sandals at hinayaan niya lang na nakalugay ang buhok na medyo wavy at halata pa ang brown hair colour na inilagay niya noon. Naglagay din siya ng light make up at ng makontento sa looks niya lumabas na siya ng kwarto sinabihan niya ang mama niyang bantayan ang anak niya at dun na ito matulog sa kwarto nilang mag ina.
Paglabas niya nandun na sila Stella kasama si Carlo at heck Alex was there too. Nagkkwentuhan ang mga ito Kaya di siya napansing lumapit. And when Alex see her bigla itong natigilan and he was looking at her very intently that she could almost melt.
"Hi Belle nandiyan ka na pala, oh you look gorgeous my friend. Tugon ni Stella sa kanya. Nginitian naman niya ito at nagyayang umalis na she ignored Alex. Habang naglalakad, sila Alex and Carlo seems to be fond of each other nagkkwentuhan ang mga ito habang sila naman ni Stella ang magkasabay.
"You know what Belle Alex is seems to be a nice guy. And he shares to us with Carlo yung travel experience nyo together.para tuloy gusto kong magtravel. Nakangiting tugon ni Stella.
"Ha? Nagkwento siya?.gulat na sagot niya dito at ano pa kayang pinagkkwento nito sa kanilang dalawa.
"Uy OA ha, wala naman siyang ibang sinabi noh, he just say that our country is fun to travel with kaya si Carlo gusto na magsurf. Hagikhik nito.
"Really. He seems to really caught your interest huh. Saad niya.
Nakarating sila sa isang bar umupo sila sa malapit sa stage and umorder na ang dalawang lalaki ng iinumin they ordered wine. Beer sa mga ito.

Medyo napaparami na ang inom ni Isabelle at since madali siyang mahilo she already felt dizzy. Maya Maya pa nagsalita ang singer na nasa stage.

"Guys so there's someone here who wanted to sing a song for a lady that close to his heart and he wanted to dedicate his song to that special someone. Ok sir you can come up to the stage now. Tugon ng singer, at bumaling sa gawi nila and she was so shocked  when Alex stand up ito ba ang kakanta. Anung naisip nito para kumanta at saka sobra naman ito wala naman si Aira dun ngayon para kantahan niya,
at dahil sobrang kirot ng puso niya inisang lagok niya ang baso ng wine.
"Hey belle, easy Baka malasing ka na nyan. Awat ni Stella sa ginawa niya.
"Oh no no no.. my friend I can handle this. Sagot niya pero halatang tipsy na. And then Alex started to sing the song Perfect by:Ed Sheeran.

I found the love for me darling just dive
Right in and follow my lead, well I found the girl beautiful and sweet I never knew you were the someone waiting for me 'Cause we were just kid when we fell in love not knowing what it was I will not give you up this time.

Baby I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms barefoot on the grass listening to our favourite song
When  you said you look a mess I whisper underneath my breath you heard it darling you look perfect tonight.

Upon hearing him sing that song she almost loose control and her eyes started to get wet because of the tears that might fall, she can't help it she was hurting, ang sakit pala pag narealize mong yung lalaking mahal mo ay may mahal ng iba and the thought that she could never have him it sucks, she simply wipe her tears she couldn't bare this thing anymore she would just leave and walk away again. Akma na sana siyang tatayo when Alex speak. And Stella hold her hand saying she should stay first.

"Isabelle, before you leave please listen to what I will tell you first. Alex said na nakapagpahinto sa akma na sana niyang pag alis. What was that this time. At sa crowd pa talaga ahh ipapamukha siguro nitong mahal na mahal nito si Aira and that song he just sang is for her.
Alex continued..
"When I first saw this girl on the plane I was really tired that I just wanted to rest but this girl took my seat and damn I was really devastated that I want to kick her, Alex was laughing while saying that.
Natigilan siya Alex just actually mentioned their first meeting in the plane going to coron, what the heck.
"That was our first meeting. And then I met her again in the shuttle bus she was actually seems so sad that time that she just seated the opposite side and ignored me, this girl is so snob and was actually hard to handle but when you know her better oh man she was the most wonderful girl you'll ever had.. when we got stuck in an island and I was then terrified and upset because we don't know if they're going to rescue us, but this woman even got the nerve to enjoy the island with all those mosquitoes and darkness even the coldness of the island heck she still appreciate that place and  she was the kind of woman that I needed, she was the kind of woman that makes me realize that life is beautiful and I wanted to be with her forever.

Alex is still talking pero yung emosyon niya ay over flowing na. Suddenly Alex walk through where she was standing and in front of the people in the bar he knealt down.

"Miss Isabelle Sales, I don't know what future will be ahead of us but I want to ask you this.. pambibitin nito sa sasabihin and Isabelle couldn't think clear, ano bang nangyayari bakit nakaluhod ito sa harap niya.

"Will you marry me honey? Tanong nito at akmang isusuot ang singsing sa daliri niya pero iniiwas niya ito at pinatayo niya ito.
Is it real totoo ba yung narinig niya ngayon from him.
"Alex, what are you saying? I thought you already had a girlfriend.?what's that all about now? Are you playing games with me,? She was very confused at hindi niya alam kung anong magiging reaksyon niya sa sinabi nito. She was hoping that this was real but on the other side of her mind she wasn't sure if he's sincere. Bakit ngayon lang ito magsasabi ng ganun sa kanya bakit nung magkasama sila wala naman itong nababanggit. 

"Oh christ. You don't believe me? He asked at tumayo ito hawak pa din ang singsing na hindi niya tinanggap. Para itong napapahiya na nilingon ang mga tao sa paligid nila.
"No Alex maybe your just thinking about our son that's why your saying that. She insisted to him.
"Well then maybe we need to talk. Saad nito saka siya hinawakan sa kamay at hinila palabas ng bar.

Dun Siya dinala nito sa dalampasigan.
"Now you little witch listen to me. He hissed. Medyo ninerbyos siya kasi parang galit ito.
"You know what Alex I think we need a rest. Tugon niya at akma na sanang tatalikuran ito ng hilahin siya nito at siilin ng halik sa labi, his kiss was little bit harsh yun bang parang gusto siyang parusahan. Hindi pa ito nakontento at bahagya pa nitong kinagat ang labi niya pero it was a soft bite though. The kiss went smooth and passionate tila ba tinutukso siya, she tried to struggle but when she felt that tingling sensation she was automatically response to his kisses.
Their kiss went deeper until he let her go.
"Now do you still refuse to marry me? Alex asked in between their breath.
She bit her lips and look at his eyes.
"Are you really serious about this Alex? Tanong niya dito and Alex nodded and give her little kissses in her face.
She smiled to him and since medyo tipsy pa she became naughty.
"Ahhmm so, Mr. Johnson you and Aira is just friends? He asked him.
Alex nodded.
"Yes babe. He said
He looked into his eyes and tell him what she felt for him.
"Alex, I-i loved you. She told him teary eyed.
" And I don't care if you will love me back but I think I will just have to take the risk now. I walked away with you before because I thought you already love someone else and that your just playing on me, I was too hurt that time Alex, but I need to leave to avoid hurting myself,but it kills me you know coz Im always end up missing you. Saad niya dito habang hindi maampat ang luha sa mata niya.
"Ohh honey I'm so sorry for that and I love you too.. I love you that I almost went crazy looking for you when you leave, and why is that you didn't ask me about her first?Alex asked. you just jump in a conclusion,I don't think it's fair and you know what honey Aira is my past now. You are my now and my future.. I will take care of you and our baby that's my promise. Mahabang paliwanag nito and kiss her again it seems they can't get enough with each other. After that magkahawak kamay silang bumalik sa bahay na tinutuluyan nila. They already both are so happy dahil sa wakas naamin na din nila sa isat isa ang nararamdaman nila.

At kaya pala nagmistulang reunion sila dahil plano pala ito lahat ni Alex sinabihan niya ang family niya about sa balak nitong proposal para sa kanya.

After that outing Alex and Isabelle goes back to the beach in Aurora this time for their beach wedding, it was private and simple wedding pawang mga malalapit sa kanila ang sumaksi.

Isabelle was wearing a simple wedding dress and of course her groom was so handsome in his suit. Their son was a bit too excited dahil madami itong taong nakikita. Alex's dad was also there and he seems to love his grandson so much.

Their wedding vows:

I choose you
To be no other than yourself
Loving of I know of you
And trusting who will you become

I will respect and honour you always and in all ways I take you to be my husband to have and to hold
In tears and in laughter
In sickness and in health
To love and to cherish
From this day forward
In this world and the next.
Till death do us part.

That was their vows and they meant to show their love and affection to each other everyday forever. Kung meron mang forever but even though there isn't mamahalin pa din niya ito in better and in worst till death do them part.

They sealed their vows with a passionate kiss in front of everyone.
