Familia Altamirano #2

Breaking news: Highest-paid model, Khrizanta Altamirano is now Engaged with her non-showbiz boyfriend, Engineer Maxwell Croisx Silvestre

The majestic proposal was held at Time Squares on the day of New Year's Eve.

According to our source, Engineer Silvestre is the youngest heir of the Silvestre clan in the Philippines, who ranked as the fourth wealthiest family in the Philippines.

I was biting my lips while reading the articles about our engagement. Croisx was cooking our breakfast, and I was watching him not until Denver called me and asked me to check the trending list earlier, which I did. It's just been two weeks, but until now, we are still trending on social media.

Hindi ko tuloy maiwasan ang hindi tumitig sa kanya habang nagsasalin siya ng mga niluto niya sa plato. He looked as handsome as ever. Wala naman nagbago sa itsura niya, pati buhok, pareho pa rin sa dati. However, his body changed into a more mature one. He gained more muscles and abs that I always notice.

I still don't know about the thing between his thighs. When we did it before, I still have my amnesia. Ngayon naman na magaling na ako, wala pang nangyayari sa amin. I need to see it up close so I can compare.

After I confessed that I remembered everything, he cried like a lost child. He broke into tears despite the crowd watching him.

The memories we created three years ago resurfaced on the day of his proposal. From the day we met until the day I got into an accident, everything renewed in my brain like a magic.

I told my parents and cousins about my memories, and they immediately flew here to the States. However, Duke couldn't come because he is already an intern at Areno Medical Center. So does Dwight, who's busy with his company and girlfriend.

Her girl looks like a mix of young Monica Belluci and Natalie Portman. She looks like a fucking doll!

Nang makita ko siya sa videocall ay literal na napanganga ako. Para siyang may sariling ilaw dahil umiilaw at angat na angat ang ganda niya. I thought they were using ringlight, but it was just her beauty.

Hindi ko alam kung sino ang maswerte, si Dwight ba o ang girlfriend niya. Sabi ko nga sa kanya kung lalaki lang ako, baka niligawan ko na siya. I remembered Dwight said, upon hearing me,"Marami na nga akong kaagaw sa kanya, makikisali ka pa?" Goodness, halatang patay na patay ang pinsan ko!

Well, I think she's his first girlfriend. Wala pa kasi siyang pinapakilala na babae sa amin dati. He dated, yes, but that was just a date— no official courting and relationship between those girls.

"What are you thinking about, mi vida?"

I composed myself and plastered a smile when I saw Croisx looking at me. He slid the plate full of pancakes and my coffee on the table without breaking our eye contact. Then he sat in front of me so he could see me properly.

"I'm thinking about this!" I raised my hand and showed him my ring finger. "How much is this, huh? This engagement ring looks expensive!"

I saw him pouted. "It is," he whispers.

"How much did you buy this?"

He suddenly avoided my gaze. Napailing ako saka humigop sa kape bago nagsalita.

"How much?" I repeated.

He looked at me again, biting his bottom lips, looking nervous. Pinandilatan ko siya ng mata.

"1.4 million peso," parang nahihiya pang sagot niya.

I exaggeratedly gasped. "What?! This is expensive! Where did you buy this?" I looked at my ring, examining if it was worth the price. "Did you order this online?"

He shook his head as his lips puckered.

"It was a real red diamond, mi vida. No, I didn't order it. I was looking for some materials for our thesis on a random day when the jewellery shop caught my attention, and voila, I bought an engagement ring."

My mouth formed a big 'O' as I nodded in understanding. After a few seconds, I asked him again why he bought such an expensive ring.

"I love you with all of my life, Khrizanta. For that, you deserve something big. . . Something extravagant and something special. I am not saying that rings that are less than a thousand pesos weren't special, but as your future husband, I want the best for you. You deserve everything, mi vida."

My heart instantly swells with his answer.

"But a million for an engagement ring? Isn't it too much?" I asked, asking for his opinion.

"Money can be back. I can earn it again, but this." He held my hand and kissed it. "I may propose to you a hundred times, but the first proposal of a man to his girl won't be the same again."

I was out of words. He squeezed my hand gently and looked at me with so much love.

"Expect that our wedding ring will be more expensive, mi vida. I'll buy you the Moussaieff red diamond," he said with a smile painted on his lips.

I just sighed and didn't complain anymore. Croisx had all the right to buy everything he wanted. That's his money, not mine.

Croisx stood up with his plate in his hand. Then he sat next to me. I bit my lip and looked at him when I felt him kissing my bare shoulders.

"I love you so much," his voice was too gentle and sweet.

My heart skipped a beat as I felt my cheeks flushing. A smile slowly crept on my lips, and he immediately reciprocated it.

"I'm in love you," sagot ko habang nakangiti.

We were about to kiss when my phone rang. Nagkatinginan kami ni Croisx at sabay na bumaba ang tingin sa kung sino ang tumatawag. I grabbed my phone, but before I could even slide the call to the green button, he cupped my face, and kissed me.

I smiled between the kisses before he withdrew, smiling like he won the lottery. I only shook my head at his mischievousness. Then, I finally answered the call.

Denver, together with Rowan and Bella, appeared on the screen. Mabilis akong ngumiti at kumaway sa kanila. Croisx was avoiding the camera, but he was still visible on the screen. I chuckled and pulled his shirt so we could both be seen properly on the screen.

"Hi!" I greeted them.

"Congratulations, Khrizanta!" Rowan and Bella congratulate me. "Congratulations, Engineer!"

"Engineer Silvestre's proposal and your engagement were still trending worldwide! Congratulations!" Denver congratulated us while scrolling down on her ipad.

"What are you expecting, Miss Denver? It's the Khrizanta! Of course, it will be trending!" Bella said, and pretend putting a crown on the screen, passing it to me.

I gladly accepted the imaginary crown and wore it. "Thank you, team! I miss you! I'll see you all at the Met Gala!"

The met gala will be held two months from now. At the event, Croisx will be my date. I couldn't wait to attend the gala with him because it would be another memory for both of us.

My family, so does the Silvestre, were happy with the engagement. Naghahanda na nga si Mommy at si Tita Zaimin para sa kasal namin ni Croisx. But we decided the wedding would be held after Croisx's graduation from law school. It's just a year to wait. Hindi naman kami nagmamadali. I don't want us to rush things.

The month of the gala came. My team and I became extremely busy with the preparation for the gala. My dress has already arrived at the hotel, and so does the tux for Croisx.

For my dress, I was wearing an off-shoulder Givenchy sheer dress with rhinestone embellishments. My gown has a thigh-high leg slit and a long silver train. My hair is in a low neat bun, and my make up is a little smokey.

I looked at Croisx and smiled because he looked so handsome with the velvety black classic and clean Tom Ford three-piece suit. Bella brushed his hair up, yet a few strands were still hanging on his forehead.

"You look so handsome," I praised him before leaning closer. Before I could reach his lips, he already grabbed my nape and kissed me.

He held the side of my neck and angled my face so he could kiss me better. He moans when I push my tongue inside his parted lips. I couldn't help but smile against his lips. When we stopped, we were both panting, and our eyes glistened with happiness.

"Your lipstick," he pointed a finger to my lips. "We ruin your lipstick, mi vida. Rowan and Denver will scold us for sure."

I chuckled halfheartedly. "It's okay. I can reapply it,"

I grabbed the wipes so I could erase and reapply my lipstick when the door opened, causing both of us to glance. Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Denver noong makita ang mga itsura namin.

"Khrizanta! Engineer! I told you to get ready, not to ravish each other's lips! Goodness!" She marched towards us and slammed her hand on the vanity.

I almost startle from my seat.

"Kumalat na ang lipstick mo, Khrizanta! At ikaw," she turned at Croisx, who looked embarrassed. "You have a lipstick stain! Rowan, Bella, come here! These two need a retouch!"

Mabilis naman na pumasok ang dalawa na nagtataka kung bakit mainit na naman ang ulo ni Denver. I bit my bottom lip and glanced at Croisx. He reach for my hand and gently squeeze it, soothing me. Then he smiled lovingly at me, and I couldn't help but reciprocate it.

"I'm nervous, mi vida," he whispered when we arrived at the venue. "What if I make mistakes on the red carpet?"

"Hey, it's okay. You don't have to be nervous. I'm here." I whispered to him, caressing his arm.

I plastered a smile when we finally walked on the iconic red carpet with Croisx beside me. He immediately stepped aside so I could have my own spotlight. I looked back at him and saw him fixing the trail of my dress.

He gave me a small nod with a smile on his face, telling me that it was okay. I sighed before looking away and focused on the cameras.

"Khrizanta, look here!"

The flashes of the cameras were blinding my sight, but I maintained my posture. After my solo shots, the photographers asked Croisx to join me for a picture.

"Congratulations on your engagement," one of the photographers said, making me smile.

"Thank you," Croisx thanked him, so did I with a smile on my face.

After taking pictures on the iconic red carpet, I encircled my arm on Croisx's arms as we walked inside the main venue where the formal dinner and cocktail hour happened.

"Oh, there's my friends! Let's go there, babe." I muttered as my cheek pressed into his arm. "I'm gonna introduce you to them."

"Okay," he gave me a smile.

After taking a shower, I went outside wearing my pink silk bathrobe. I instantly got excited when Croisx's midnight gray eyes captured my eyes. He was sitting on the edge of the bed as his legs were spread widely, wearing only his gray sweatpants without anything on top.

Napalunok ako nang bumaba ang mga mata ko sa gitna niya. My lips parted when I saw it grow against his pants. Shit! I'm not dreaming, am I? His shaft really grew stiff when my stares became intense!

"Enjoying the view, mi vida?" I blinked when he spoke while grinning. "Come here, I'll dry your hair." he gestured for me to come.

Kumilos naman agad ang mga paa ko palapit sa kanya. I shrieked when he suddenly pulled me on his lap. Then he grabbed my cheeks and captured my lips for a deep kiss. I shut my eyes and wrapped my arms around his neck to pull him closer. He growled when he sensed my response to his sensual kisses. A moan escaped from my mouth when his tongue delved inside, looking for hidden treasure.

Not a moment later, our bodies shared the same heat. I move up and down, feeling his big and thick shaft inside me. He moans when I grind faster and harder. Hinawakan niya ang baywang ko habang tumataas baba ako sa ibabaw niya.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

I close my eyes tightly and continuously moan when he moves his hips to mirror my movements. He got bigger and thicker inside me. Then, a few more slammed, and we reached euphoria almost in unison.

"You okay, mi vida?" he asked, catching his breath. "I came inside so—"

I tapped his chest as I climbed off him. Then I sat on his side, looking at him. "I know the drill, okay, engineer?" I almost rolled my eyes.

Whenever he came inside me, he kept reminding me to take my pill. Well, I was the one who told him that I preferred taking pills than using condoms. Aside from making my menstruation cycle regular, pills control pregnancy.

Not that I don't want to get pregnant, but I still want to enjoy my life without children. We both wanted a child, but I knew we weren't ready yet to be a parent. 

He licked his upper lips before sighing and pulled me closer to him. "I love you so much, Khrizanta." he suddenly whispered to my ears.

My heart pounded in my chest. I caressed his cheeks and smiled lovingly. "I love you, my future husband."

We were on the sofa, watching a movie for our last day together before he went back to Massachusetts when he decided to scroll down on social media. I was smiling while looking at every expression his face made whenever he read something.

"Her walk is boring?! Is this woman blind?" he quickly looked at me and showed the comment under the video where I was ramping. "What does this girl think? That the runway should be a circus and not elegant?"

My lips parted before chuckling. I looked at him with amusement. "Don't mind those comments, babe. Some people really love judging others."

He really looked annoyed. "Still. Most of the comments hating you are girls. I thought girls support girls?"

"Yes, girls support girls however, not all girls are doing it," I clarify.

"Why's that?"

"Because some women are competitive, thinking life is a competition. Some girls compare themselves with other girls just because the latter have a better life than them. Having insecurities is normal, but some insecurities turn into jealousy, which generates hate." I explained even further.

He licked his lips and pulled my head to his chest. Napangiti ako at sumiksik pa sa kanya. I placed my legs on his lap and his hand on my thighs.

"You don't have insecurity," he whispered, which I quickly disagreed with.

"I have insecurity! I am insecure with my small boobs," I muttered and touched my boobs.

His eyes slowly went down my chest, staring at it for a few seconds before looking at my face again, then shook his head.

"It's not that small," he muttered. "Sa tingin ko nga, babe, lumaki sila."

Napaatras ang mukha ko at binigyan siya ng 'paano mo nasabi' at 'wow, ikaw ba talaga 'yan' look. His cheeks reddened before I felt his lips on my shoulder, hiding his flushed cheeks. Humagalpak ako sa reaksyon niya.

His nose scrunched. "Small or big, I love every inch of you, babe." He whispered before kissing me on my temple. Nakaramdam naman kaagad ako ng kilig.

"Let's just read the good comments, babe," I suggested so he wouldn't worry about me.

"That's better," he agreed with a sweet smile on his lips.

Croisx gained 20k followers since his first public appearance at the Met Gala. Mostly, girls follow him. He doesn't follow them back, though. Instead, he deletes their request. He already made his account private because my fans and even haters are sending him messages, asking him about our relationship and some personal questions.

I already asked my fans not to bombard him with follow requests and messages because he's really a private person. Since our relationship went public, the reaction of the people was mixed. Many people I know in the industry are shocked but happy by the news of me getting engaged. But there are a few who are not happy because they were rooting for me with someone else.

Another year has passed. The wedding will be held this year after Croisx graduates from law school. We already have a property that he bought in the Philippines. Doon itatayo ang magiging bahay namin dalawa. I told Croisx I wanted Dwight to be the architect, and he agreed.

The construction of the house will take a little longer because Dwight is in Los Angeles for his therapy. Although, he already told me the estimated time the house will finish construction is one to two years. Nalulungkot ako para sa kanya dahil sawi na naman siya sa pag-ibig. He's single again after more than two years of their relationship. I don't know why they broke up.

In the meantime, while we are still waiting for our house, we will be staying in Los Angeles. I decided to sell my apartment in New York and buy another one in Los Angeles with Croisx. Luckily, he will work in a law firm in Los Angeles for two years in contract.

While Croisx was busy on his graduation, umuwi muna ako sa Pilipinas. Hinatid ako ni James as usual. I asked him if he wanted to come with us to LA. I will take care of his lodging expenses, and he agreed right away because he is dating someone who lives there. Hindi na nakasama si Croisx sa paghatid sa akin dahil nasa Massachusetts na siya noong araw ng flight ko. We just facetime when I'm still in the boarding area.

It's Killian's 7th birthday, and I have a shoot for a local brand in the Philippines. I couldn't believe it when my sister announced she was pregnant with her and Kuya Reeve's third baby! Dustin's wife is also pregnant, mas nauna lang siya ng mga ilang buwan kay Ate Kelsea.

"Are you okay, sis?" tanong ni ate nang bigla akong tumakbo papunta sa sink at sumuka. Napapikit ako nang makaramdam ng pagkahilo at panlalata. "Khrizanta, you aren't okay. Wait for me here, okay? I'll just call Reeve so he can bring you upstairs."

Hindi ako sumagot at nanatiling nakakapit sa sink. Natulala ako sa harapan ng salamin habang nakatingin sa sarili. Ano ba ang kinain ko kagabi? Marami. Lahat yata nang nasa buffet ay kumuha ako. I pulled a pile of tissue to wipe my mouth as I continued thinking.

"What happened? You okay, Khriz?" tanong ni kuya Reeve nang makapasok sila ni ate sa kitchen.

"Nahihilo ka pa ba? Tell me, what do you feel?" Ate Kelsea asked, mabilis niyang sinalat ang noo at leeg ko. "Hindi ka naman mainit."

Napatingin ako sa kanilang dalawa nang biglang may pumasok na ideya sa isip ko. Don't tell me. . . God, we have been so active lately. I suddenly felt jittery, and my heart thumped faster. 

"Ay, may family meeting dito?" biglang pumasok si Mommy kasama si Daddy na buhat sa braso si Kirsten.

"What's with the meeting?" Dad asked cluelessly.

"I think Khrizanta is sick. She's vomiting." Ate Kelsea muttered and pointed at me.

"Omo! Nagsusuka ka, darling? Active ba kayo sa sex ni Engineer?" Mom exclaimed boldly. Everyone gasped, including me!

"Mommy!" Ate Kelsea blurted out, looking so embarrassed.

"Katarina, may bata!" Dad's voice echoed.

"Bakit?! Nagtatanong lang ako bilang OB-GYN ni Khrizanta! Kung makareact kayo parang hindi ako aware sa mga gawain niyo, ah?" Mom rebutted.

Napasentido si Dad na halatang nastress sa mga pinagsasabi ni Mommy. Habang bumuntong hininga at napailing na lang si ate Kelsea. Hindi ko magawang ngumiti dahil lagpas langit ang kaba ko.

"Come, Khrizanta. May mga test kit doon sa storage room." Mabilis akong inakay ni ate paakyat sa second floor, naiwan tuloy sa ibaba ang iba.

We entered my sister's room. Then she opened the cabinet and pulled out three familiar small boxes.

"Here, take this." She handed me a three-pieces unopened pregnancy test kit. I shakily sighed and looked at her. "Don't be nervous, sis. Whatever the result is, I'm here for you, okay?"

I nervously nodded. "O-Okay. . ." kinuha ko na ang pregnancy kit mula sa kamay niya at dumiretso na sa banyo. I was biting my lips as I read the instructions at the back of the box. Pakiramdam ko bigla akong naging bobo habang nagbabasa.

This is not new to me. Ilang beses na akong nakakita ng pregnancy kit— mula kay Mommy, kay ate Kelsea, kay Denver pati kay Ariella pero iba pa rin talaga kapag ako na ang gagamit.

"What's the result, sweetie? Magkakaroon na ba ulit kami ng apo ng daddy mo?" I heard Mom's voice outside the door.

"I'm not sure, Mom. She's still in the comfort room," si ate ang sumagot.

"I'm excited! Kung sakaling buntis nga ang kapatid mo, naku, sabay kayong magbubuntis. Oh, no, you're a few months ahead!" Mom said, then giggled.

Even though I was nervous, I couldn't help but smile because I could feel mommy's excitement. I stood up after doing the instructions as I was still not looking at the result. Kinakabahan kasi ako, sobra. I feel like my heart is going to explode.

Ilang beses akong bumuntong hininga bago unti-unting sumulyap sa mga pregnancy kits na pinatong ko sa sink. Napakurap ako nang ilang beses hanggang sa napatakip ako sa bibig at mahinang umiyak nang makita ang resulta.

I sniffed and wipe my tears before going out. Nakita ko kaagad ang buo kong pamilya na naghihintay sa paglabas ko. The silence ate the room when I went outside.

"What's the result, darling?" Mom broke the silence.

I looked at each one of them before raising the three pregnancy test kits on my hands. I sniffed, and despite my tears, a small smile washed my lips.

"I'm pregnant, my beloved family," I announced with a smile as tears continued descending from my eyes.

Kinagat ko ang labi ko at inabot sa kanila ang tatlong pregnancy kits na hawak ko. They looked at the kits before looking back at me. A sob escaped my mouth when Mommy quickly hugged me tightly.

"Congratulations, darling," Mom muttered with tears in her eyes. She clips the strand of my hair behind my ears. "I couldn't believe it! You are going to be a mother, darling."

"Congratulations, sis!" Ate Kelsea was already emotional when she joined the hug. "I couldn't believe that my baby sister was pregnant, oh my god. I'm going to cry," and she did cry.

I couldn't help but shed tears again because Mommy and ate Kelsea were already crying. Dad sighed because of the scene, but he still joined in the hug and kissed me on the top of my head.

"I love you, my not so baby girl. Congratulations, love," he whispered, making me cry louder.

I told Mommy not to inform the Silvestres about my pregnancy, not yet. I want to inform Croisx first before anyone else in his family. I stayed in the Philippines for two weeks before going back to the states. Pero sa Massachusetts ako dumiretso dahil ngayong araw ang graduation at bar exam results ni Croisx.

Yup, he already took the bar exam, which I didn't know how he did it. Because 40 states and U.S. territories do not allow students to take the bar exam before they have officially graduated from law school, but he did.

Many people were looking at me, giving me second glances when I entered the tercentenary theatre. My lips stretch for a small smile every time someone asks for a picture with me. I was holding the bouquet of flowers I bought for him and a small gift— a necktie from Salvatore Ferragamo.

I spotted Croisx in the ocean of graduating students wearing a black gown with crimson hood— para akong nasusuka sa kaba!

Suddenly, I remembered my problem with how I would tell him about my pregnancy. Hindi ko alam kung paano sisimulan. Hindi ako nakapag practice hindi tulad ni ate na ginamit pa ang mga aso nila ni Kuya Reeve na sina Beau at Scout.

What if he doesn't want to have a baby? What if he realizes that even after he graduates from law school, he is still not ready to be a father? Anong gagawin ko? Shocks, I was overthinking again! Mas lalo tuloy akong ninenerbiyos sa mga iniisip ko.

Hindi na ako nakapagfocus sa commencement dahil lumilipad talaga ang isip ko. It only got better when I noticed Croisx almost running towards me, wearing his medal. Nang makalapit sa'kin, mabilis niya akong sinunggaban nang yakap at halik.

"I miss you so much, mi vida. I can't properly function when you're away from me," he whispered.

"I miss you, too." I whispered back, caressing his back.

His smile widened. "Let's check the result of the exam?" He asked and swiftly intertwined his fingers between mine.

I nodded. "O-Okay. I'll give your gift, too." I said in a muffled voice.

Nakatakip ang mga kamay ko sa mga mata niya dahil kinakabahan daw siya sa resulta. When he gave me a signal, I slowly removed my hands on his eyes. I am feeling nervous as I looked at the list, too.

2025 Bar exam topnotcher list

2. Silvestre, Maxwell Croisx 97.6%

Croisx got the second spot on the list with only a 3% difference from the number 1 spot, which is a woman! Wow!

"Yes! I'm now a lawyer!" He shouted, about to jump when he realized that a lot of students were looking at us. I smiled widely when he looked at me.

"Babe, I'm a lawyer now," he whispered after recovering.

I stared at his face as my eyes suddenly watered. I bit my bottom lip and sniffed, pealing a sob. His forehead wrinkled as he cupped my face and brushed the tears that fell from my eyes.

"Babe, why are you suddenly crying?" he softly asked.

"Because you are the newest top member of Daddy's duty. . . Welcome to fatherhood, attorney–engineer! Congratulations!" I muttered between my tears.

I saw how his face changed from excited to serious when he heard what I said. I pulled out the envelope from my bag, containing the ultrasound picture inside and the pregnancy test kits I used.

He just stared at it for so long without any reaction. Mabilis na namuo ang luha sa mga mata niya nang mag-angat nang tingin sa akin.

"K-Khrizanta. . ." His voice washed with bewilderment.

"See it for yourself," I whispered and handed him the envelope.

His hand was shaking when he tried to get the ultrasound picture from me. Hindi pa rin siya nagsasalita kaya mas lalo akong kinakabahan. Nagpalipat-lipat ang mga tingin niya sa papel at sa akin, bago bumaba sa may tiyan ko. Nagtagal doon ang tingin niya kaya bumuntong hininga ako dahil gusto ko na talaga marinig ang sasabihin niya. I couldn't wait any longer!

"Uy, I'm pregnant, Croisx. . ." I announced, and he automatically looked up at me, looking surprised.

Napakurap siya at mabilis na tumalikod sa akin. My heart clenched in pain with his reaction. Hindi siya masaya! Sinasabi ko na nga ba! I was about to cry my heart out when he suddenly shouted.

"Yes! I'm going to be a daddy!"

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang bigla niyang isigaw 'yon kaya dali-dali kong tinakpan ang bibig niya pero huli na, dahil lahat na ng mga tao ay napalingon sa amin, nakanganga at gulat na gulat. Then, in just a few seconds, they gave us a round of applause with congratulatory messages.

Sunod-sunod ang pag-bagsak ng luha mula sa mga mata niya habang nakatingin sa akin. He removed my hand from his mouth and wrapped his arms around my waist, gently pulling me closer to him.

"I-I thought you wouldn't like the idea of me getting pregnant." I hit his chest while crying. "Bwisit ka," I badmouthed him.

He suddenly laughed and hugged me tighter.

"Whenever I look at you, all I can see is us in the future together, raising our children and seeing them grow up. I have always known you are the one for me, Khrizanta."

My lips parted, and my heart pounded loudly against my chest.

"Now tell me, how couldn't I want you to get pregnant if I have already created a future with you?"

I didn't answer because I was speechless. I cried harder on his chest. He hugged me even tighter while caressing my back, calming me down.

"I love you so much, mi vida," he whispered with tears in his eyes.

I sniffed and looked up at him. "I love you so much, Croisx." Mabilis akong tumugon.

My heart is going to burst any moment because of happiness. I never felt this happiness before. This is much more different from the happiness I have felt before. Mas dumoble ang mga taong nakatingin sa amin, pinapanood kami pero wala kaming pakialam.

He cupped my face as his other hand slid on the side of my neck. "I'm in love with you." He whispered before capturing my lips.

"I'm in love with you," I whispered between the kisses.

"Thank you for coming to my life, my rainbow." He whispered, kissing me again with so much love.

Croisx's sacrifices a lot for me. He became patient and understanding with me, even though I was being too much for him to handle.

No matter how many times my mind forgets him— my body, my soul and especially my heart will never forget that he belongs to me, I was belong to him.

Para sa akin, wala na akong mahihiling pa. Si Croisx lang, sapat na.

And if other universes exist, I still want him to be the man I love. Only Maxwell Croisx Silvestre can make me fall in love— hard, deep, and endlessly.

FINAL CHAPTER.

:(

The special chapter will be available in the physical book, which is still not available, so In the meantime, think of this 'epilogue' as the special chapter here on Wattpad.
