Final Chapter: Everyone's Path
Months passed since Frans and Calista's wedding. Each person had continued their life in different directions, yet they remained connected in their circle of friendship.
Viona & Steve: Building a Future Together
Viona is now entering her final year in medical school. The busyness has intensified, but this time she no longer feels alone. There's Steve, someone who is not just a boyfriend, but also a friend, a loyal listener, and a place she can call home.
One night, after a tiring day at the hospital where she is interning, Viona came home with a weary face. Steve, who had been waiting for her in the apartment, immediately greeted her with warm tea and a gentle smile.
"How was your day?" he asked, handing her a cup.
Viona let out a long sigh and sat on the sofa. "I'm so exhausted... there are so many patients, strict professors, and I feel like my brain is fried."
Steve chuckled softly and sat beside her. "Well, it's time to rest now. I'll cook something for you."
Viona looked at him with deep gratitude. "I'm so lucky to have you."
Steve took Viona's hand and held it tightly. "And I'm lucky to have you too."
They spent that night simply—having dinner while listening to soft music, chatting lightly, and enjoying each other's company. Their relationship wasn't filled with drama or turbulence but was calm, comfortable, and helped them grow together.
In Viona's heart, there was no longer any room for doubt. She had found her place.
That night, after battling reports and assignments all day, Viona leaned on her apartment balcony, cradling a cup of warm tea. Steve sat next to her, running his fingers over the surface of the table as if imagining a piano melody in his mind.
"I never thought I would get to this point," Viona said suddenly.
Steve turned to her and smiled gently. "What point?"
"The point where I feel... at ease. Not constantly worrying about the future or the relationship."
Steve took Viona's hand and held it tightly. "That's because you're in the right place now. And more importantly, with the right person."
Viona looked at him with gratitude. "And you're a part of that, Steve."
Steve sighed softly. "I never thought I would be serious in a relationship. I thought my life would revolve around music. But it turns out, I needed someone like you."
Viona smiled and rested her head on Steve's shoulder. "And I need you."
Steve kissed her hair gently. They didn't need many more words. They both knew that their relationship was now more than just "love." It was a journey they chose to take together.
Frans & Calista: Starting a New Life
On the other side of the city, Frans and Calista had just returned from their business trip. Their wedding had taken place only a few months prior, and although Frans still had a few lingering thoughts about his past with Viona, he had truly let everything go.
Frans was sitting in his office chair in his room, reading documents about a health project he was working on. Calista entered the room with two glasses of wine and handed one to Frans.
Calista placed her suitcase down and stretched. "Wow, this trip was really exhausting."
Frans chuckled as he took off his jacket. "But it was fun too, right?"
Calista nodded. "For sure! Working together as business partners and life partners turned out to be quite exciting."
Frans looked at her tenderly. "I'm grateful I chose you, Lis."
Calista smiled and approached him, wrapping her arms around Frans's neck. "Me too. We've made it to this point, and I'm sure we can get through anything together."
They exchanged glances before breaking into laughter. Their relationship was a perfect partnership—not just about love but also about shared visions and goals. They were a strong couple, and they knew they could face the world together.
In Frans's heart, there were no more shadows of the past. He had found his happiness with Calista.
"You're working all the time," said Calista as she sat beside him.
Frans sighed. "There are a lot of things to take care of."
Calista chuckled softly. "You're a doctor, my husband. But your work seems more like a businessman's lately."
Frans took a sip of his wine and looked at Calista. "If it weren't for you, I don't know how I would balance everything."
Calista smiled and caressed her husband's shoulder. She was indeed a successful career woman. Her expertise in marketing and business had made her one of the best marketers in the industry. With her intelligence and charm, she could attract a lot of attention.
Yet, only Frans saw the other side of Calista—someone who remained loyal, understanding, and never demanded something that Frans could not give.
"Are you done with your work?" Calista asked.
Frans closed the documents in front of him. "I'm done for today."
Calista beamed. "Great! Because we need to start planning our married life moving forward!"
Frans chuckled softly. "Next project after the grand wedding?"
"Of course," said Calista. "I want our life to be beautiful forever."
Frans looked at his wife and smiled. "Whatever you want, I will be there."
And for the first time in a long while, Frans felt completely certain that he had chosen the right path.
James & Theresia: Always Enjoying Life
Meanwhile, Theresia and James had their own way of enjoying life. After hearing that Frans was truly happy with Calista and Viona had found her place with Steve, they decided to plan a new trip—this time to Europe.
James and Theresia were an energetic couple. After dealing with college life and side jobs for so long, they finally decided to take some time off to vacation.
That night, they sat together on the sofa while reviewing their travel itinerary.
"We're going to Europe!" Theresia exclaimed with bright eyes.
James chuckled. "I still can't believe you managed to get these promo tickets."
Theresia laughed. "You underestimate the skills of a party girl like me!"
James shook his head with a smile. "You never run out of energy, do you?"
Theresia put her phone down and looked at James seriously. "James, we have to enjoy life. I don't want to be older one day, regretting that I didn't do exciting things."
Theresia sat in front of her laptop, enthusiastically organizing the itinerary. "Okay, we'll go to Paris, then to Switzerland, and after that to Italy! We have to try all the delicious food there!"
James looked at his girlfriend with affection. "You're right. I'm glad to have you reminding me to enjoy the moment."
Theresia smiled contentedly. "Of course! And after this trip, we have to start thinking about the next steps. We won't be students forever."
James nodded. "Yes, and I want to go through it with you."
Theresia paused for a moment, then smiled broadly. "Good. Because I can't imagine life without you either."
They smiled at each other, realizing how lucky they were to have one another.
Epilogue: Everything Goes as It Should
A few months passed. Everyone was living their lives.
Frans and Calista were increasingly busy building their careers and business. They might not be a couple full of romance like in the movies, but they were a strong team, and that was more than enough for them.
James and Theresia continued to explore the world together, facing new challenges while still enjoying life.
Meanwhile, Viona and Steve, two people from different worlds, continued to move forward together. Steve might still be a piano teacher, but now he was also a part of Viona's life— a life full of challenges but also full of happiness.
On a quiet night, Viona and Steve sat in their apartment living room. Steve was playing the small piano they had bought together, while Viona listened with her eyes closed.
The music floated softly, bringing them back to the beginning of their journey.
Viona opened her eyes and smiled. "Steve?"
"Hm?"
"I'm happy we made it here."
Steve turned and smiled warmly. "Me too."
Then he resumed playing the piano, creating a beautiful melody— a melody about their journey, about a love that finally found its place.
And thus, their story continued.
Conclusion: Each Path
They all had found their place in this world.
