Chapter 37 – Back Home
Author's POV
London – Heathrow Airport
The next morning...
The unforgettable ceremony had become a beautiful memory.
After saying goodbye to the board members and the Watson family staff, Jay, Angelo, Aries, Percy and the rest of Section E arrived at Heathrow Airport.
Kerian stood beside Keifer, holding his hand tightly.
"Kuya..."
"Do you really have to stay?"
Keifer smiled and knelt in front of him.
"I do."
"I have responsibilities here now."
"But I'll come home soon."
Kerian pouted.
"You promise?"
Keifer gently ruffled his hair.
"I promise."
Kerian finally smiled.
"Okay."
Nearby...
Ci-N wrapped an arm around Keifer's shoulders.
"Don't become a boring CEO."
Keifer smirked.
"I'll try."
David shook his head.
"He'll fail."
Everyone laughed.
Felix smiled.
"Take care of yourself."
Keifer nodded.
"You too."
One by one...
The members of Section E said their goodbyes.
Finally...
Jay stepped in front of Keifer.
For a brief moment...
Neither of them spoke.
Keifer smiled softly.
"So..."
"You're leaving already."
Jay nodded.
"HVIS starts again tomorrow."
Keifer chuckled.
"Right."
There was a short silence.
Then Keifer gently held her hand.
"Thank you..."
"For being here."
Jay smiled warmly.
"I told you."
"I wouldn't miss the most important day of your life."
Keifer looked into her eyes.
"I'll be back soon."
Jay nodded.
"I'll be waiting."
Without caring about the people around them...
Keifer gently hugged her.
"I'll miss you."
Jay hugged him back.
"I'll miss you too."
After a few seconds...
They slowly let go.
Angelo cleared his throat dramatically.
"Our flight is boarding."
Jay laughed softly.
"We should go."
She looked at Keifer one last time before walking toward the boarding gate with Angelo, Aries, Percy, Kerian and the rest of Section E.
Keifer stood there...
Watching until they disappeared from sight.
Only then...
Did he quietly smile.
"See you soon."

Philippines – Ninoy Aquino International Airport
Several hours later...
The plane landed safely.
As everyone walked out of the terminal...
The warm Philippine air welcomed them home.
Ci-N stretched his arms.
"Finally!"
"Real food again!"
David sighed.
"You've been talking about food since we left London."
"I have priorities."
Everyone laughed.
Jay smiled as she looked around.
"...Home."
Angelo glanced at her.
"Ready to get back to reality?"
Jay smiled confidently.
"Always."
Together...
They walked out of the airport.
None of them realised...
That back in the Philippines...
A new chapter of their lives...
Was about to begin.
To Be Continued...
