~~ cont from part 1~~
She went and seek refuge with extended family in the United States. He stayed home and put up a brave front for everyone else. But just like two magnets that attract each other, they never fail to call and face time each other all the time they were apart. The time away from each other made them realize a lot of things, how petty their fights were, how miserable and lost they are, and that somehow it's easier to breathe when they are beside each other. He brought his family to Japan for the Christmas holidays. They had a secret rendevous there after Christmas, almost three days of it just getting to know each other all over again. It's like they were back in the stages of wooing. The giddiness of being in love was still there, there was no question about that, yet now with a much deeper understanding.
Things were still awkward though for a little while when they first got back to work in 2018. Even with the three days spent together, they still haven't decided on officially getting back together yet. The hesitancy was stemming from how their fans will receive them after all the hoopla of last year's. But as January goes along, they seem to make good progress. By February, things were going splendidly. Even if they mutually decided not to make projects together for the year and explore solo paths, their private lives became very much intertwined again now that they have decided to get back in a relationship with each other.
Suddenly, March came in and it's her birthday. She had a private birthday party and he was all over her that night. Who wouldn't? She was hot as Hades and oh so drop dead gorgeous! They arrived and left the venue in the same car. Which led to some real steamy scenes after. Two weeks after, they got the first scare of their lives. Aunt Flo went missing for five whole days. It was only a scare but it was enough to strengthen his resolve. He talked to her and broached the idea of getting married in civil rites first. She thought about it hard and they both prayed. They were still very much into the horizontal tango, the scare now may become real next time. So hand in hand they approached both set of parents. Of course the parentals were disappointed, but they too have realized the worst havoc it had caused when the two separated so they gave their blessing. They were engaged anyway, it's only a matter of time. His family made another visit to Bulacan to finalize the plans. So on the last week of March, on the exact anniversary date when they first became boyfriend and girlfriend, they got married. It was officiated by a Judge in Bulacan, courtesy of Tatay's hometown ties, and done inside the chapel in her family's farm and Fr. Jeff was present to give a blessing. They went to Amanpulo for three days for their honeymoon.
They spent another few days of togetherness in Hongkong with the EB dabarkads on their annual group trip. A celebration of sorts for them as well. They had to come clean to the TVJ, who had come to care for them both as if they were their own. Of course, them being them, they were still seen by some fans walking along the streets of Hongkong holding hands. She wonders if anyone ever saw them kissing too, mostly she was just grateful no one posted pictures.
Then came the announcements of separate projects. Busy, busy times for both of them. Again, time was their greatest sore point here. But this time they both made sure that they get to spend time together as often as they can and are more understandable when they can't. Be it a lunchtime sneak out to her location shoot, or her waiting in the van for him to finish the last scenes of his taping, to asking for a break from taping so he could join his wife for a celebratory dinner after her lipstick launch, to her asking him to bring her over to her shoot location, or dropping her off to the barangay for the day before heading off to Broadway, then picking her up after. Typical husband duties. They still have spats, two opinionated people of course, but they were learning how to listen, understand, give and take. Needless to say they were enjoying married life. She takes cares of him like a little housewife, and he minds her like a loving husband. They were building their houses, almost two at the same time, one in the south and one near their workplace, and they still have two more in the plans, one in Batangas and one in Bataan. The one in Batangas was his wedding gift to her. A resort near the waters that she loves.
