Kasalukuyang nasa harapan si Edward ng kanyang lolo Edison.
Nasa personal office sila ng lolo nya sa mansyon nito.
"So, are you sure that you want to marry the grand daughter of my best friend Joe Entrata?"
"Yes, old man! I am absolutely sure about this!"
"When do you plan to marry her?"
Nagugulat talaga sya dahil walang pagtutol ang kanyang lolo sa sinabi nya.
Kunsabagay, ito naman talaga ang kagustuhan nito ang mag-asawa na sya at magkaroon ng anak kaya siguro ng sabihin nya ang tungkol sa dalaga ay sumang-ayon agad ito.
Bukod pa sa pagiging apo ni Maymay ng kanyang matalik na kaibigan.
"I'm planning to propose to her on her 24th birthday!"
"That's great! But I'm warning you Edward John, if this is just a ruse to get your inheritance...."
He cut off his lolo's words.
"I assure you old man, this is not about my inheritance! I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her! Maybe you won't believe a cynic like me but I do love her!"
Mataman syang pinagmasdan ng lolo nya.
"You can even write me off your will just to make you believe that I'm serious about this!"
Hindi nya alam kung saan nya nakuha ang tapang na sabihin iyon sa lolo nya.
Pero isa lang ang sigurado nya, wala ng mas mahalaga sa kanya ngayon kundi ang dalaga.
"You remind me so much of your father right now!"
Nagtaka naman si Edward sa tinuran ng matanda.
Tatlong taon pa lang sya ng mamatay ang mga magulang nya kaya hindi nya kilala ang pagkatao nito.
"Just like you, he was ready to lose his inheritance because of your mother!"
"What do you mean?"
"He was supposed to be married to someone else when he fell in love with your mother."
Hindi alam ni Edward kung bakit pero napakasaya nya sa narinig mula sa lolo nya.
"So my parents loved each other!"
"Of course they did! They loved each other so much that even death couldn't separate them!"
Bakas ang lungkot sa mga mata ng kanyang lolo pagkasabi niyon.
Lumambot naman ang puso ni Edward sa matanda sa nakita.
"Can you tell me more about them lolo?"
Nagulat ang matanda ng tawagin nya itong "lolo".
Bumuntong-hininga muna ito bago muling nagsalita.
"I'm ashamed to admit that I arranged a marriage for him even before he was born."
