Chapter 74

  Everybody listened to both, and they were speechless. Clark got caught when Isabel grabbed him and sat him in the monobloc. Gaby sat on the monoblock. Clark and Gaby are next to each other, and the couple is in front of them, also sitting on the monobloc.
"Gaby, look at me!" said Franco
Gaby had tears all over her face. She was looking at Franco.
“When did you find out you liked Clark? Is he special to you? ” Franco asked
Gaby's tears flowed. "That day, he stole my first kiss."
Clark turned towards her, even their friends. Gaby was referring to Clark when they were in Batangas.
Franco chuckled. "How he stole it?" he asked.
"In Batangas, he said to me that I could not swim. When we swam down the river, I thought it was time to get back at him. Underwater, I stopped him from going up for air twice. I didn’t realize he was so vindictive, and he used me to breathe underwater. We used each other’s breath through our mouths. ” Gaby stated
"Hell, my instinct never fails me; it's not a mermaid?" Riki laughed. "That's why Clark has a wound on his lower lip."
They heard what Riki told them. Clark couldn't help but smile as he remembered.
"You did such a thing to him, Gaby? What if he runs out of air? ” Franco asked. "And he does not know this technique?" You have doomed that day. ”
“I’m sorry! I was just so annoyed that time. But he never died, did he? He even stole a kiss. ” Gaby said
“Okay, fine. You Clark, when did you realize that you like Gaby? ” Isabel asked
“At the marriage booth. I already have feelings for her in Batangas, but I'm not sure, so I kissed her at the marriage booth to confirm. As I kissed her, all my memories of her flashed into my mind, so I knew she was the one I wanted; she was the one I loved. All these memories happened at the time that I had no idea Bianca was her donor. ” Clark said
"Well, Gaby, what makes you think Bianca is what Clark wants and not you?" Franco asked.
“Because I can see how happy he is every time he looks at Bianca's picture, how she prepared for this day. He doesn't even notice that I'm sick. ” Gaby said
"I am happy to see Bianca's picture because I am grateful to her. Because of her heart, you are alive; because of her heart, I met you, and because of her heart, I found my true love, and that’s you, Gaby, my one and only you. ” Clark said.
"Are you sure you're breaking up with Clark, Gaby?" Franco asked.
"That'll be good for both of us, Uncle," Gaby said.
“How about you, Clark? Do you love Gaby because of who she is and who she is? ” Franco asked
"Yes, Tito!" Clark said.
Gaby stood up to everyone's surprise. "I want to rest and get back to the villa."
Gaby walked quickly away from them, and Dylan followed her. They were all looking at Gaby. Clark inhaled deeply and stood up.
"I need to be alone," said Clark, then turned his back on them and walked away. He did not come to the villa but the beach, far from them.
"Haist, young love is a pain in the neck!" Franco stood up. Everyone was staring at Franco.
Isabel approached Franco. "Shall we follow our daughter?" Isabel whispered
"No need; Dylan was with her," Franco said

Gaby didn't go right into the room, but she went right into the movie room. Gaby was sitting beside the bed. She was staring at the big TV on the wall. Gabi breathed deeply and closed her eyes. She felt someone seated beside her. He didn't speak, but he knew it was Dylan. Gaby laid her head upon Dylan's shoulder. Dylan never budged; he just let Gaby's head on his shoulder.
"Am I being unfair?" Gaby asked Dylan.
"Well, it depends on how Clark takes what you said," Dylan said. "Are you sure you made up your mind?" Dylan asked.
"Because I am exhausted. If only I knew this was the way to love, I would have liked not to have done it," says Gaby.
"Clark has a point, Gab. He did what you told him to do, and you surprised him like that. He got hurt, Gab."
"Why, am I not?" Gaby asked and then pulled her head off Dylan's shoulder.
Dylan stared at Gaby and then stroked her cheek. "I want to make you feel better, and just like that, there's no ice cream here."
Gaby blinked while staring at Dylan. Dylan smirked. "Why would you want something besides ice cream?"
"Haist, once I thought, you don't care about me," Gaby criticized.
Dylan laughed. "All right, put your head in here," repeated Dylan tapping his shoulder. "My shoulder is yours."
Gaby frowned while she put her head on Dylan's shoulder. Even though Dylan was by Gaby's side, he wasn't happy. Dylan took a deep breath and watched Gaby's reflection on the large TV before them.
*****
Clark sat on the sand, looking into the vast sea. Every five minutes, he would sigh. His hand was playing with a shell he found next to his seat.
Clark smirked. "I don't understand you..." he recalls how quickly Dylan followed Gaby after she left them. "Is this your excuse for giving Dylan a chance?"
Clark threw the shell into the water. "I will not have you take Gaby away from me, Dylan."
****
Gaby stayed in the movie room, and she wouldn't go into Bianca's room, so Dylan left her there. Gaby sat at the bottom of the bed as she stared at the frames hanging from the wall. Those are Bianca’s favorite movies. There was such a frame in Bianca's bedroom at Franco's house, so she knew it was Bianca's favorite.
Gaby was already wrapped in a blanket, but it was still cold out there. Why hasn't this fever disappeared? It bothers me; it's annoying." Gaby said gently as she held her head.
The movie room air conditioner was the substantial volume that it was purposely put there. It looks like her fever's going to go up a little higher. The warmth of her breath and the vapor of her eyes were different. She folded her leg and held it in her arms by putting her chin on her two knees.
'Good heavens, it's cold! '- Gaby thought.
Franco was carrying food and medicine when he walked into the movie room. He hurriedly placed the tray he was carrying on the floor and approached Gaby. She was unconscious, lying on the carpet while wrapped in a blanket.
"Gaby?" Franco reached out to Gaby, and he was surprised because her temperature was high.
"Tito, what happened?" Dylan stood in front of the door of the movie room.
***
Clark was walking home from the villa when he saw Franco, Dylan, and Isabel rushing out of the villa while Franco was carrying Gaby. They took the car in a hurry, and Dylan drove. He attempted to pursue them, but they seemed in a hurry.
'What happened?' Clark thought
Thunders and lightning sounded through the sky, accompanied by heavy rains. Clark stood there, motionless in the rain, watching Franco's car from afar.
"Clark, why are you in the rain?" screamed Riki from inside the villa.
