Chapter 38: Epilogue
Chapter 38: Epilogue
Isabella is happily watching her five-year old son, Jherickson and her three-year old daughter, Anabelle
who is playing with their Uncle Anthony and Don Samuel, who is now fifteen-years old. It is a weekend
and they are all at the Morgan’s Villa, it became their routine that they will all gather there to spend time
with Don Samuel. At the age of 80, Don Samuel is getting better and better each day maybe because
of the joy of having his family.
“Hey, wifey.” Tyron greets her as he slides his arm around Bella’s waist and kiss her cheeks.\
“Look at them, hubby.” Isabella said, smiling as they watch the old Don laughing with his grandchild
and great-grandchildren. “What a sight to see, finally, grandpa achieves his dream to see his great
grandchildren,”
“Yes, and as time goes by, he is getting better and better. He is strong as a bull.” Tyron agrees. “And
our children are one of the reasons why he decided to continue living.”
“I agree. He really looks happy and satisfied now, unlike when I first saw him.” Bella said. “And up until
now, I kept thinking that if you haven’t knocked some senses to me, maybe we will not achieve the
happiness we are experiencing now. I almost wanted him to die when we saw him again in the
hospital.” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Tyron sigh and hugs her tight. “Don’t be like that, Bella. It is understandable why you acted that way.”
“I don’t know, Tyron, what if he lost hope and died? I will carry that my whole life.” Bella said as she
sadly stares at her grandfather.
“But that didn’t happen, right? You listened to me, swallowed your pride and had a good talk with your
grandfather.”
“Yes, that is why I owe you a lot.” Bella smiles and loosely wraps her arms around Tyron’s neck. “I love
you.”
Tyron was taken aback at her sudden remark, it is unusual for his wife to be the first one to say those
three words, usually it is always him who is the first one to say those. “That’s unusual, eh.” He said
making her pout. Tyron chuckles before saying, “I love you too.”
After they had their lunch, Isabella approaches Don Samuel who is seated in the balcony, overlooking
the garden.
“Grandpa…”
“The flowers in the garden are beautiful, aren’t they?” Don Samuel said, smiling. “Do you know that
those were planted by your grandmother? She doesn’t want to accept any help while planting those,
even though I told her to hire a gardener.” Isabella didn’t say anything but she stares at the old Don.
“She told me not to deprive her one and only hobby, since I always left her alone here. She wanted to
create a garden for our sons to play with, but that dream of her was short-lived. Your Uncle Ricardo got
kidnapped and even though we give the ransom money, he didn’t come back to us; after that, your
grandmother suddenly lost her usual brightness.”
“Grandpa…”
“But I know that she is happy watching over us now and she’s with your father.” The Don smiles. “She
is happy that her grandkids are happily running around in her garden.” He added as they watch
Jherickson, Anabelle and Anthony running around.
“You love grandma.” Bella said—it is not a question but a statement.
“Our marriage is just an arrange one, but I do love her. I would never marry her if I don’t feel anything
towards her. Your grandmother is the most beautiful woman I ever saw in my whole life.” The Don
smiles lovingly. “I am actually thankful to her that she married me despite the fact that she can’t stand
being with me, I still remember the time when she said that she is against our marriage. But I regret the
fact that I haven’t even told her that I love her.”
“That’s not true, grandpa. Grandma loves you too, even after death. I saw your pictures in the album,
even those in the frame ones, her smile is genuine in every picture of the two of you. There are even
photos wherein she’s looking at you and her eyes screams how much she loves you.”
“You don’t have to tell those to me just to make me feel better, hija.” The Don smiles but sadness are
still is in his eyes. “I’m okay…”
Isabella sighs. “You’re not okay, grandpa. You told me yourself that you regrated not telling grandma
how you really felt, but don’t blame yourself, grandpa. I know that grandma felt your love for her.” She
smiles. “I haven’t told you this, but when I was unconscious at the hospital… I saw dad and mom
together with grandma, and she wanted you to know something…” She said as she handed a folded
paper to the old Don. “Grandma told me to find it in her favorite book but after all the commotion, I
forgot all about it.”
The old Don unfolded the paper and stares at it for a while then returns it back to Isabella making her
confuse.
“Grandpa?”
“You silly girl! You want me to read your grandma’s letter but you didn’t give me my reading glasses.”
The Don said, teasing her making Bella laughs. “You read it for me.”
“As you wish, grandpa.” Bella said.
To my beloved Samuel,
Forgive me if I’m the reason why we lost our second born son, I know that you’re disappointed with me
even if you didn’t say anything. I hope you can still forgive me.
I am not just writing this letter just to ask for forgiveness but… If you’re reading this then that only
means that I’m not in this world anymore and I haven’t got to tell you how I really feel.
Samuel, I want you to know that I am glad that you were the one I married instead of my lover then. If it
were him that I married, I may not have experienced the happiness of a family I discovered with you. To
be honest, you were not my ideal man nor my ideal partner in mind but you defied all of those. You
managed to break the wall in my heart that is why I agreed to be married with you. Ours maybe an
arranged one but I married you according to my own will. I love you, my husband Samuel. Take good
care of your health and continue to watch over our son and his soon to be wife and our future
grandchildren. I will be watching over you all. I love you and I will wait until we see each other again.
Your wife, Vangie Morgan.
Isabella finished reading the letter out loud with tears on her eyes. “Grandpa?”
The Don quietly wipes his tears and smiles at Bella. “Thank you, sweetheart.”
Isabella handed him the letter.
“Can you please leave me here first? I wanted to be alone.” The Don requested.
“As you wish, grandpa.” Bella said and give him a hug and kiss on the cheeks.
“Vangie…” The Don murmured. Isabella looks back again before leaving the old Don in the terrace.
“Bella…”
“Uncle Ricardo…”
“How is dad?” Ricardo asks.
“He is fine, he just misses grandma.” Bella answers.
Ricardo sighs. “If only mom didn’t die in an accident.”
“Life is unpredictable, Uncle. That is why we must treasure what we have before it’s too late.” Bella
said.
ISABELLA enters the room they are occupying in the villa and she found Tyron in front of his laptop.
She hugs him and settle her chin on his shoulder.
“Hey, hubby. Are you busy?” She asks.
“Hey there, wifey. Nope, I just finished replying to some of the emails.” Tyron said and pulls her to seat
on his lap. “How is grandpa?”
“He’s at the terrace, watching over the kids running around grandma’s garden.” She answers as she
stares at her husband. Earlier, she can’t help not to be emotional as she read her grandma’s letter to
the old Don. She questions herself what if she and Tyron are in the same shoes as her grandparents?
Getting married and forming a family together without confessing? Will they end up like her
grandparents? She knows her grandparents are happy but at the same time that happiness is
incomplete. Looking at Don Samuel, up until now, he is still regretting the fact that he became coward
to confess his feelings to his own wife.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Tyron frowns.
“I love you, Tyron.” She suddenly said. “I love you very much and I will not get tired of telling it to you
every day.” Isabella smiles as she pinch his reddened cheeks. “You’re red as a beat.” She teased.
“You caught me off guard.” He smiles and suddenly kisses her. “I love you too, wifey.” He said in
between their kisses. “Forever and ever.”
