"If tomorrow comes and I forget about this, and I forget about you, will you still love me?"

"It's okay... it's okay..." Ani Lee nang makita ang bagsak niyang balikat matapos nilang manggaling sa Civil Registrar para kunin sana ang marriage license na ipinasa nila tatlong buwan na ang nakakaraan.
But it was not approved.
Because of affinity and kindred at dahil dating kinasal si Lee sa ama ni Odyssey, kailangan pang pag-aralan ng korte ang kaso nila. Dahil kung tutuusin, sa ngayon, he is her stepson.
"Pasensya ka na..." Masamang-masama ang loob ni Odyssey. He is now quick into fulfilling her wishes, pero madaming balakid. Hindi pa rin nila agad ito makamit.
"Okay lang... Ako rin naman ang umasa. Ako 'yung nagbakasakali na baka pwede tayo noong niyaya kita dati." Lee pinched his hand. "Pero ayos lang 'yan. Baka mas okay nga na hindi tayo kasal para hindi ka na mahirapan sa susunod kung maghahanap ka ng—"
"Lee. No. Hindi ako hahanap ng iba. At sino bang nagsabing mawawala ka na?" He cradled her face with his hands. Pinipigilang maiyak at maging matatag dahil ito ang kailangan niya.
Magsasalita pa sana si Odyssey, ipipilit ang nasa puso niya nang mag-ring ang telepono.

"It's okay, sir. It's okay! Maraming salamat po! I owe you a lot sir. Thank you!" Halos magsisigaw si Odyssey dahil kahit masamang balita ang hinarap nila sa pagpunta dito, at least he received something positive.

"Anong meron?"
"We have tickets for IU's concert!"
"I only want to watch her concert because of you..." Lee said while laughing.
Pero hindi ito pinansin ni Odi at tinignan ang papeles na nasa harap niya. Hindi pa rin matanggap na hindi niya matutupad ang isang hiling nito. Na magpakasal sila.
"Alam mo, screw this. Screw the laws. Papakasalan kita kahit saan."
