.

Foreword: The following will make your stomach sick. But it has been heard or it actually happened.

.

To refresh your memory of what has been, read on these links:

.

I do hope you still remember where we left off. This tale is nothing like the previous DH Chronicles. Let’s just say, we stepped it up a bit. (wink!)

.

By now, if you have followed the DH Chronicles, you may have known about the team up of D and H. Well, I tell you now, the adventures and misadventures did not just end there. You’re right. There is something beneath the facade of Team Betamax and this last part of the trilogy will attempt to unveil it.

.

As the November board takers were up in their rooms reviewing their lessons, D and H were downstairs preparing the needed things for the board days. As soon as they were finished, they sat down on the sofa and talked about the joyous things under the sun. Then swiftly, D turned to H, looked deeply into her eyes, as if he was already giving that aura to H to read what is inside his mind. “And when the board is over, then what?, we would go back to our ordinary lives?, …being alone again?...when will I see you again?, D turned the silent night into flames of confusion for H, and H knew he was definitely not talking bout going back to the old ‘one man army’ now that he has found a new partner, it was about friendship, or even more….. of course, it was bout love. H was struck, she didn’t know what to say, what to react…” D, This is just so fast…I mean…let’s just do what we are suppose to do, we help the board takers, and well, that’s it…end of contract.”…yet H was also thinking at the back of her mind, he’s right, after all these, then what?!... H stood up from the sofa, her eyebrows clashed in the center of her frowning forehead with frustration …“I guess I’ll be back in being a bum….and you….you’ll be leaving for US anyway”... D kept quiet, speechless, yet still looking at H so desperate and hopeful. H turned away and walked toward the staircase, before she could go up the first step of the stairs, she turned to look back at D still sitting on the sofa so lonely, took a deep breath, and sighed “people always leave”, with her innocent face, as a tear rolled down her cheek which left the night calm as she went up to sleep in her room.

.

Tomorrow came and it was different. There was definitely something special. Nevertheless, they finished everything they came there for. They went home with fulfilled hearts, not only from the good deeds done, but from something wonderfully shared. Everyday since then, they wallow in endless chatters all day long, and I mean ALL DAY LONG!! From making jokes of what has been to talking about what is and positively aniticipating what will be, D and H were definitely along the same line. They ‘konek’! They laugh about almost all things, they finish each other’s sentences, and even their laptops sing duets! It was just so surprising that the same song at the same time is sung by Mig and Hannah Pearl, not just once, but several times! Sparks were definitely there. Neither hearts can deny it.

.

It was ONE week later when that ONE moment in ONE night came to life. D asked H to have dinner in a restaurant, just a friendly dinner and sort of a celebration for a job well done. After dinner, it was a dessert indeed, which sweetened the life of two persons, “It’s now or never” as D was talking to himself…He looked at H held her hand and told her the 3 magic words “I love you H” then he kissed her in the forehead and hugged her. H was so cold, kept quiet, In that moment D felt that he had no chance for H, nevertheless it was better for him to confess what he feels for H than keep it forever. “ Darn, I just can’t hold it anymore, what a loser! I guess this is it, things that I do that will really give me the reason just to go away, scram to US, and never return, Ughhh!, what were you thinking kid?! You are meant to be alone…give it up…she doesn’t love you and she never will…you blew it again this time” as a little voice whispered to D in the back of his mind. Yet, a few moments later , D felt his back a bit tight, “hmmm, must be stress”…and a warm feeling that gave his heart a relaxing beat, it was H’s cute arms around him, as if she was hugging a panda stuff toy, she slowly looked at D with her sparkling eyes..”I love you too.”.

.

Another week later, it was the “star couple’s” first public appearance! (Hahaha!) They watched a play at CAP Auditorium. Coincidentally, they were both in white! They even saw their 3 teachers. After this, they ate at Afrique’s with the Royalty Girls. First dinner with your Count, as D said. After a fun night, D dropped H home and as he drove Kai home, the secret was finally told. It was then that they officially knew that D and H were now “us”, “we”, “together”. His other friends knew about it during their Christmas Party in which they played Truth, Truther, Truthest and aimed the bottle at him! Haha! He even did a reenactment and they sang to her their song when he called..hehe!

.

Of course, every relationship will never be one if an obstacle or two will not cross their way. Unfortunately, D was scheduled to leave the country on the 6^th of the 1st month of the year- his 23^rd birthday, their 1^st monthsary. Though it was the best Christmas and New Year the two has ever had, it was painful to bid goodbye. D never wanted to go in the first place and for H, it was another people-always-leave moment. Life doesn’t always happen the way you plan it, right? But, the distance was just inevitable.

.

On the day of D’s flight, both woke up early to talk to each other and say their sweet goodbyes after crying themselves to sleep. Hours later, they will be halfway around the world with only the phone, internet and ultimately the heart to connect them to each other. Both got ready for the day ahead. H arranged a little get together with their friends. It will be such a waste not to celebrate that day. They had lunch at Esca’s, talking mostly about life and love and catching up with people’s lives. In the middle of what seems to be a party without the celebrant, a guy in red came in and greeted the table with a smile and H with a dazzling gaze. It was D! He was not on the plane! In fact, he was never on it. He came in, with eyes darted to the love of his life and went directly to her and caressed her hair, whispering “Darling, One more day…This, I ask of you”.

.

H was just in awe at that moment! Who wouldn’t be? Even their friends were swooning in delight! It was more than what she imagined. It was like her heart will burst for joy! Tearing up was close. It was one more day for them to look into each other’s eyes and affirm love. Undeniably, love is in the air that afternoon!

.

D drove his darling home that afternoon knowing in their hearts that they will make this work. Distance will be very hard but connections will be tighter, not to mention uncut. (No scissors? No cut!) That night, he celebrated his birthday with his family while she went on completion duty for IV therapy. Both did it with big smiles, as always.

.

The night before D’s rebooked flight on the 8^th, he sent H a love poem. It was so sincere that it made H tear up again. This is it. This is real. Both avoided that moment to be too emotional for them. It will be just hard to let go.

.

Morning came and he needs to go though there was much apprehension in his heart. It’s just they way it is. Eventually acceptance will just come as both confides in friends and in each other. The first weeks apart were difficult. Friends can attest to their ramblings. Undeniably, they really missed each other. Afternoon talks in YM or on the phone were just not enough.

.

These trying times did not prevent them from expressing what they feel. H sent a card for D together with the NCLEX documents. D sent her a Valentine card and a birthday card as well. Dhanzel, their darn imaginary kid, also sent one to both of them! How cute and sweet! Haha!

.

Feels too good to be true?? That’s because IT IS!!! You know with a story like this there’s a catch right?! Well I’m gonna tell all you “victims of love”. The catch is, THIS IS JUST A PRANK!!!

.

Not only that..there is another bigger catch. DH Chronicles never meant Don-Hazel Chronicles. It meant DAW HINANGAG Chronicles!!

.

Nan! Kay man, wala ubrahon sa kabuhi...nang into lang tawo! haha!

.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…….sorry..

.

We are really really sorry from the bottom of out black hearts and rotten souls! We did not mean to do any harm, most especially for the DH curse. Well, we’ve heard more stories of break ups than hook ups after we started this prank.

.

This is a public apology.

.

Lesson learned? Not everything that happens, is true. To see may be to believe but remember..it may be just a BIG FAT LIE!!!

.

Love and Bliss Frecklesnoots! (hehe..)
