Epilogue

Say had been staring for how long at the flower she had brought for her father.

She hadn’t visited him in a long time since so many things had happened. It has been a week since what happened at the party and the reconciliation with Nick. And Nick hasn't visited the mansion nor talked to her since then.

She heard he had been busy caring for Brooke since she was hospitalized after the car accident. She missed him so much, but she didn’t want to lead Nick for whatever plans he has for her, for them. And now, she preferred just to be with her late father in his memorial gardens.

“It’s fine dad...maybe he needs more time to think about us. ”

The sky is clear in that part of town. Occasionally there is a strong wind passing by, so Say holds her arms.

“Or maybe not..In case it is, then, I can't do anything. The important thing is that I was able to explain and he knew that I really love him ... ”

"Do you think the Governor will accept me if I court his daughter now?"

Say quickly turned her back when she recognized a familiar voice and saw Nick entering the mausoleum holding white flowers.

“Nick!” She broke into a beaming smile but Nick wasn’t looking at her, instead to the stone cold grave of the former Governor.

"Do you think that my efforts are enough for your Dad, so that I can now dance with you...that I can now love you?"

“N-Nick...” The flower he was carrying was laid on her dad's grave.

"Do you think Sir Governor, your daughter will love me, if I say I love her?"

The wind blew hard again. Say just smiled, can't help but comment at Nick's direct question to her father. "Silence means, so they say..."

Nick was still not looking at her. "Do you think Sir Governor, your daughter will marry me if I ask her now?"

“Why are you asking dad when I'm here? And can you please not joke with the dead. If you continue joking, maybe dad will get up and really make you do that - marry me. ”

This time, Nick’s handsome face already looked at her and smiled. "Who says I'm joking?"

"Why, don't tell me it's true that you're going to marry me? Me who is no longer rich, no longer famous, no longer beautiful -"

“Stop right there. You are the prettiest girl for me, even if you wear a sack. And even if you are no longer beautiful or young or rich, you are still the queen of my life. ”

She was smiling ear to ear from his declaration. She crossed her arms and asked him directly. “So let’s just wrap it up and get to the bottom of this...What do you want, Nick?”

“YOU.”

“Okay, so what can we do about it?”

From where Nick stood, he gestured to kneel, grabbed something from his pocket, and then extended his arms afterwards. When Nick's palm open, a sparkling ring was on top of it.

“I showed up again for a long time because I made this ring personally. Ten years ago, I gave you a ring that doesn’t even cost anything but my love and a promise. ”

“A ring…“ Say remembered the old ring he gave when they were young. She held the silver necklace from her shirt and made Nick look at it.

“You still kept it all these years?”

“It may not cost anything much to you then Nick, but for me, this was the most precious ring I’ve ever had because it has the most expensive price of all - your love and your promise. When you left, I kept it always near my heart as a pendant, hoping against hope that you’ll come back one day and will love me again. And here you are, keeping your promise…”

Nick was teary when he heard her. “Will you make me a King and be my queen forever, Samantha Yvette de Plaza?”

Even before Say could answer, her tears were already dripping.

“You're crying again ... am I at fault again? Don't you want me to get on my knees? ”

She wiped away her tears and helped him to his feet. "Yes, it's your fault why you're handsome, so my heart can't do anything but say yes to everything you want."

“So it’s a yes?” He looked clueless that Say thought Nick was back to his boyish younger self.

She laughed. “For someone as genius as you, you’re clueless. Of course it’s a yes. “

“Oh God...come here.” He gave her tiny kisses. “I love you, my queen.”

“And I love you, Nick...”
