The world could die, and everything may lie.
Still, you shouldn’t cry.
‘Cause time may passed, but longer than it’ll last
I’ll be by your side. Forever by your side.

THEY left the orphanage the day after they decided to return to Manila, as planned. They left after dawn to arrive in Manila after sunset. It's a long journey home.
Saying goodbye to the kids was hard.
The kids grew fond of him, some were even crying because they
***INFINITY woke up with strong arms around her. She wasn't too surprised by this, she was used to it. She closed her eyes when she felt him move behind me. He hugged her tighter, and she also felt him kiss her nape. That made her shiver to her spine. And then he also kissed the back of her head. He was not satisfied yet, and he inhaled her scent. She tried to remember if she shampooed her hair thoroughly the day before. She looked at him, and she was welcomed by his tantalizing, half-closed eyes. "G-Good morning." He said in his husky morning voice while hugging her. "Good morning."
And these are the moments I thank God that I'm aliveAnd these are the moments I'll remember all my lifeI found all I'd waited for, and I could not ask for more- I Could Not Ask for More, Edwin McCain***ELROY took her to the office. They also decided to talk that evening about the remaining days they had and the things they would do in Manila. When she arrived at her office, only a few coworkers were there. She opened her computer and checked the folders on her table. It was the first draft print of her novel that was supposed to be published. She held a pen and started reading the whole draft and corrected some minor errors. The majority of the errors are just technical, wrong spacing, and such. “Infinity?” She looked up when someone called her name. It was Louise. Infinity smiled at her, while she was shocked to see her in the office. "You said you would be gone for a month?" Louise said as she approached her cubicle. "Elroy has something important to do here in Manila, so
***INFINITY happily tells her friends about what they did in the province. How she made Elroy plow the field, pick mangoes, and even try to catch fish.The two laughed. "What's your trip in life, Infinity? Why did you think of doing that to Sir Paolo?" Robin asked her with a laugh. "Do you really want Sir Paolo to bump his head again so that everything will go back to normal? I hope you just hit his head on the wall." Pipay said while still wiping the corners of her eyes. "N-No way! I just want to be able to do what we used to do again before we finally break up." Infinity
***ELROY laid her down on the bed. He deepened the kiss and roamed his hands all over her body. Living in an apartment that was separated by just plywood, she has so much experience hearing the sound of her neighbors doing the nasty. And she doesn't want to do the same. She wanted to save face with her neighbors. "E-Elroy, the neighbors! Maybe…they might hear us!” She said as Elroy kissed her. From her lips down to her neck. Infinity could feel the heat of his breath on her skin. And it also gives a strange sensation to her body. Elroy immediately moved away from her. Thinking that he stopped because of what she said made her groan internally.
Hindi tayo puwede, pinagtagpo, pero ‘di tinadhana.Hindi na posible, ang mga puso’y wag nating pahirapan.Suko na sa laban, hindi tayo puwede.- Hindi tayo Puwede, The Juans***INFINITY can not help but smile, remembering the nights they shared. It has been a week since they went back to Manila and everything's bliss!Sometimes they are at her apartment or his condo unit.His unit was located at the heart of the metro, a whole floor. It's a penthouse, so you can see Manila. The interior of his condo is very minimalist with black and white as its color. It also has 360 widows. That's why it
***"YOU shouldn't have said that,” Infinity said to her husband as they were eating their lunch after the fiasco.Elroy frowned at her, he couldn't understand why she didn't want to let people know she was his wife."People around here thought that you are a cafeteria lady who takes orders from department by department. And you don't want them to know that I am your husband? They are completely disrespecting you…me.”He is not mad at his wife. He is just a little bit irritated with some of the people around him."You can't blame them, Elroy. Even before, only a few people knew about our marriage.""Why?"She just shrugged her shoulders. She did not want to tell him that it was like a silent agreement between her and her in-

She commented on the new findings they saw at their university. "Y-Yeah? The last time I remember that I came here this building did not exist yet.” Eloy is referring to the building in the study area where he found his notebook. "That is where I found your no
*** ELROY held the hem of his blouse and removed it quickly. Their lips met once again after the brief separation. With the utmost urgency, he removed her brasserie. Two perky and round breasts welcomed him. He instantly palmed them and he was rewarded with a groan and a moan. Infinity held one of his hands and guided them south, urging him to remove her pants. "P-Patience, we will go there. One at a time,” he said, teasing her. But Infinity did not listen to him. She broke from their kiss, held the hem of her shirt, and removed it. She knelt after unbuckling his belt and instantly removed his pants. She palmed his groin with so much urgency. "M-Mahal, we have all the time in the world. Let's take this
EPILOGUESUBJECT: To my King, My ElroyInfinity Ramos (InfinityRamosSantos@g***l.com) to Paolo Elroy Santos (PaoloElroySantos@g***l.com)Mahal,Today marks 4 years since we were together again, and 11 years as a married couple if we count the years we have been apart. Plus the 2 years we were together before the accident.Who could have thought that the decade we are together would give us a rollercoaster of emotions, trials, and frustrations? Because our relationship has been through so much. Who could have thought that we had only been married for more than a decade? If I wrote our story and turned it into a novel, 100 chapters would not be enough, and maybe my readers would lose the desire to read it!As we celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary, let me say through this email some of the things I find hard to say in person.First, I am sorry. I want to apologize for the things I've done that I know that hurt you. From my decision to leave you after the accident, and the infinite tim

Her brother went home a while ago and only the house helpers and the private nurse were with her in the condo. She is trying to lighten the mood even thoug
***ELROY is livid. He had never felt this kind of anger before. He was busy with his work when Leo called him. He is sure that Leo is angry. But hearing what happened he also felt the same. That's why, before going home, he first went to his parents' mansion. It was almost their dinner time at the mansion, so he knew that his mother was already there. And he found his entire family at the dining table while the servants brought out the food one by one. "P-Paolo, you're here! Come eat dinner with us!” His mother said happily. He can't stomach his mother! How could she
Araw-gabi nasa isip ka, napapanagip kaKahit san man magpuntaAraw-gabi nalalasing sa tuwaKapag kapiling ka, araw-gabi tayong dalawa- Araw Gabi, Regine Velasquez***A few days later, things between Infinity and Elroy patched up. The doctor had given them the go signal to be discharged from the hospital. "Are you sure you can travel to Manila?" Leo asked his sister worriedly. "You know you can stay here to heal more. Besides, Jana said you have passed the critical stage. But we can't be complacent yet. Your pregnancy is delicate.&rdquo
***“GOOD EVENING!” Leo happily greeted his sister as he entered her hospital room. But she's not alone. She's with Enzo, and he also has bruises and cuts on his face. He gave a sweet smile to his little sister and kissed her forehead. She was a little embarrassed, but he didn't mind. She looks cute blushing. "Hello! How was your day? How's the baby?” Leo asked as he was caressing her head. He could hear Enzo grunt on the other side. "Janna said that we should be careful, she had spotting earlier! That asshole stresses her out!”
Go easy on me, baby. I was still a child Didn't get the chance to feel the world around me I had no time to choose, what I chose to do So go easy on me - Easy on Me, Adele *** ELROY was rooted in his place when the man Infinity called Lorenzo told him that he was Infinity's brother. "Sir Lorenzo, Dr. Santa Cruz is asking for you inside.” Said the nurse who had just come out of his wife’s room. Lorenzo walked towards Infinity's room, that's why Elroy decided t
***ELROY did not waste any seconds and started to drive to where his wife was. It took him hours to travel, but he did not feel tired. When he arrived at the said hospital, the visiting hours were over. He decided to stay at the local motel, freshen up, and go to her first thing tomorrow. When the morning came, he bought a flower basket and went straight to the hospital. She asked the front desk where her room was, and the station nurse said it was in the suite. He was in front of her door. He had been waiting for this time for a week. But he didn't know why he was agitated. 3 minutes passed when he decided to knock and open the door. He was welcomed by sofas, which looked like the receiving area of the room. At the end of the room, there was a separate room that looked like the room of the patient itself. He peered and there, he saw his wife. She is sleeping soundly, but based on her face she looks tired. He put the flowers on the bedside table and sat in the visitor's chair
Ikaw lamang ang tangi kong minamahal, ang lagi kong dinarasal. Sana'y habang buhay tayong magkasama, ang puso ko'y ibibigay lamang sa 'yo Ito ang aking pangako mula ngayon hanggang magpakailan pa man. Ikaw lamang - Ikaw Lamang, Gary Valenciano *** ELROY immediately went to the orphanage expecting his wife to be there. But she is nowhere to be found. “Infinity hasn't been back here since you left. The last time we exchanged messages was when you returned from Manila,” Sister Mabelle said to him. Elroy's heart beat erratically. Infinity is not here. Where will he find his wife? He had no idea where she could go. "Thank you, Sister." He just said this while trying to think of where his wife could go. He wasted no time and immediately left the orphanage. It had been a long drive from Manila, but he would not hesitate to return there just to find out where his wife was. "P-Paolo! Paolo!” He heard sister Mabelle shouting his name, so he immediately stopped getting in the car.
