Lie To Me

Chapter 36: 36: Epilogue

Indeed, time passes too fast when you are happy. It's been three years since then, I didn't realize that

so many days have passed. I have been too busy with my life. And I like how it turned out.

I have a stable job, trusted friends and a happy life. I've never felt this genuine for the longest time. You

are happy with what is happening in your life, content with what is there and without and most of all,

sleeping and waking up with a smile on your lips. Thinking how blessed you are. I was so grateful.

"Congrats!" Reysa teased Hans. Allie is now graduating from college and she hopes that she will finally

graduate from college. It was as if his son had graduated.

Well, apparently, Hans’ girlfriend was 5 years younger than us. We are 27 and Allie is only 22. She was

17 when they met but Hans waited for her until she turned legal before he dated her. She was 19 when

they became official.

Oh, I remember the first day Reysa and I met her. We were both startled then.

Who wouldn't if your most sensible friend suddenly took a woman and that woman was five years

younger than you?

I thought Hans and I were just being pranked, but no. That boy is really his girlfriend and that's why I

can't hang out at his house lightly anymore.

I felt betrayed.

But then, we moved on. We saw that Hans was happy so we stopped talking.

"Where's Allie?" I asked. We set this dinner for her, to celebrate her graduation.

"She'll be here in a few, just talked to someone on the phone." It says. I nodded.

But Reysa being Reysa thought of another tease for him.

"Maybe I'm talking to a man, he's the same age." Its beginning.

Hans arched his brow. "It was her mom. She didn't go to the ceremony because she was on a business

trip." He said.

Reysa just said wow' and didn't speak anymore.

Allie came after 10 minutes. It approached us with a smile. We were at the rooftop of my apartment; it

has been our hang out place for almost three years.

"I just graduated!" She beamed.

I looked at Hans who was looking at her with a wide smile. He's happy. I 'm glad.

"Congrats! Here." I greeted and handed her my gift.

"Oh, gosh. Why are you giving this?" She asked.

"You do not want?" Reysa asked sarcastically, but she also handed over her gift and congratulated her.

"Wow! Thank you!" She almost jumped with happiness.

She's cute. But Reysa and he often exchanged words, even so, they did not end up in a fight.

"I'm lucky because my boyfriend has friends like you." She said.

Reysa arched her brows. "Of course, there is a fee for that." She said. "You should deliver us your first

salary."

"Of course! Anything you want." Alli said.

We just laughed.

I'm so happy Hans found someone like her. He has changed a lot since she came. Hans became more

vocal to us; he is no longer the stump that Reysa always teases.

And per Reysa, I don't know about that. She dates different guys every month. I'm the one who gets

tired of having to pick up her different men every month. She said that she was no longer interested in

the relationship so she was just joking, as per her words.

"He's home." She said suddenly, it's just the two of us and we're cleaning up.

"Yeah. I know." I answered.

"You know already?" She asked.

"We met last Wednesda at the Mall." I answered.

It was Russel. He's come back after three years. We met and talked for a while. By the way, he even

introduced me to his girlfriend. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

"How is he?" She asked more.

"He's fine, doing great actually. He's a practitioner now. He also introduced me to his girlfriend. He’s got

a beautiful and kind girlfriend,” I answered.

"He’s got a girlfriend? Wow. I can’t believe he can still have another one to fool." She teases.

"You’re so mean to him. Russell’s kind and handsome. He was just blinded by his desire to revenge.” I

said.

It shrugged.

"What do you feel when you see them?" She asked.

It was my turn to shrug.

"Nothing. I was shocked because I didn't know he was home. But then, I'm happy he was home and he

has found someone." I said.

"No ill feelings?"

"No. Why?"

"Because he already has someone else and you haven't?" She asked. I laughed.

I shook my head. "It was my choice to be single, and I will never think of that." I said.

That's one of the things I have learned from our relationship; to never feel betrayed just because my

'ex' has found someone else. We were done and we ended up good. I accept until then really.

And I promised myself. That when this day comes, I will never ruin my ex's chance for new happiness.

He didn't find it in me, so why should I stop him from finding it in others? I am not the only person in the

world.

I also promised that I would not do what they did to me to anyone. I don't want other people to suffer

like how I did, I respect myself to even do that.

Life could be really unfair to us, it will give us countless challenges, makes us suffer and struggle. We

will stumble many times but that doesn't give us any right to pass the pain we have been through to

others.

We suffer, they do too. There are different ways, but they also go through your hardship and pain like

us.

And I choose to be happy after those, I'm happy that I've been through those and survived. I'll make

those experiences as a reminder that once, I was loved and I loved. I was not hurt and died, I was

happy and learned in the end.
