The Bucketlist

Mini-Series of Short Stories

St. Valentines Day [EN]: FINALE

Dorian stood and went out of the room.

He prayed at the hospital's chapel and went home to grab some of Gisela's things to bring to the hospital...

He found the list again and saw that number 10 is still unchecked.

He just thought of an idea.

He contacted their friends, workmates and including Gisela's old classmates to bring the idea to life.

"We will have some sort of reunion. This is for Gisela. All the cast and staff will be there. I'll tell you all the details when we get there. See you tomorrow night guys." He hung up the phone and sighed.

He knows that it's all wrong to throw a party and all while his woman suffers on the hospital bed but he did it for his own reasons.

Reasons that will make a big change whether she wakes up soon or...

Dorian doesn't wanna entertain the thought and the negativity.

He just wanted this to be a great event.

Dorian stepped on a stage looking at the murmuring people, wondering why they're here.

"I r-really appreciate that you all came. We're here to give praises to Ms. Gisela Valentine, she's-..." He was cut off.

"Why are we here for Gisela? Is it her birthday?" One said.

"No. The woman's still asleep." Dorian said.

"We spent all our efforts for a sleeping woman. Hell. Who can wake her up?" The other man said.

"I wish I knew. The woman I love is not waking up for weeks now in her comfy hospital bed." They all stopped talking when Dorian caught their attention stating Gisela's actual state.

"I just wanted to record what you all think of her. It's her wish. First, we have her cousin Merian to speak in front of us..." Dorian introduced.

"Thank you Mr. Handsome Celeb, Dorian West... Gisela... Was a very thoughtful person. She will always think about others before herself. There's one time that I got pregnant without a father but she helped me confront the guy. But the woman my 'Ex' was living with, dragged Gisela by the hair, out of their condo unit. You know what? It did not stop Gisela. She continued to sacrifice herself and her shame, even though I told her not to, just to convince this guy to support me. She's willing to be a shield and a comforter when you need her to. This woman is one of a kind and I love her for that." Merian said.

The speech of the people continued to the very last person...

The most important one.

Dorian stated his rights...

"Sorry for all your precious time. Hopefully, she would like this speech that I have for her... We gathered here in this Eulogy... Yes. This is a Eulogy. And this is her wish. The reason why is to talk about her in this beautiful day. The one and only Gisela of our lives. The one with the beautiful smile behind those sad eyes. The ever so hard working for she won't let the day pass not accomplishing what she needs to do like she's chasing time. A one extra-ordinarily optimistic woman. She might have been secretive and enduring but she thought me how tough a person can be facing her own demons after pushing it away in the shadows for years now. How brave she can be after all the trauma. Or how courageous she is opening up to someone like me. As she saw me at my worse and my weakest, she have known that I'm not perfect. Like her, I don't have any parents anymore. I grew up without any full-time guidance. In fact, not most people knew that I'm a wrecked soul before I met her. We're both lost and both fallen angels that time. She made me who I am right now. She built my broken interior. She's the one behind my success. My motivation to get my life back on track. I thought I was the one protecting her, but she's the one giving me hope to go on. This life is a mess without her. You had me coming undone. I accepted her in my life and I will continue to do so, not as a difficult challenge but as a person who I respect and love the most. I actually did not expect to say these things in this set-up. This was supposed to be for my marriage proposal or for my wedding vow but it's best to do it now than never, right? Gisela... I love how strong you are to fend off the inner demons. I'll go through all of it with you... If you can hear me wherever you are... I'm still waiting for you to wake up. 'Cause if you do, I will do what I have to... And I will-..." Dorian was cut-off and was astonished as the door of the venue opened revealing a bare-footed woman wearing a white gown.

She weakly walked toward the stage smiling.

The people all looked at where Dorian's eyes landed and are currently locked.

They we're all shocked.

Whether they're scared or joyful...

Never did they know that this would happen today.

She never minded the people as if she's only seeing one person and continued to walk toward the stage.

As Dorian's focus is also not faltering, his eyes began to water.

His eyes are still glued to her...

"Dorian..." She spoke as she went up the stage and she touched his cheek streaking on his own tears.

"Go get him!" Merian screamed.

And she immediately covered her mouth in embarassment when the people looked at her smiling with her giddy comment.

"H-how did you-...?" Dorian was not able to finish the sentence when Gisela used her finger to stop his lips from speaking.

"The Doctors told me what you're planning when I was back in my consciousness. They're actually outside. They were too nice to let me go out of confinement, more so, to accompany me here and to even let me walk. I begged them to let me see you. To go here and touch you because the moment I woke up, you're the first one that I have looked for. I have realized the fact that I have searched for nothing more since the very beginning. It was a wake up call for me to go back. Not the hit on the head, not the coma, but I was shaken to the soul by even thinking about leaving this world. Leaving you behind. I don't wanna lose you. I don't want you to get tired and suffer because of me. I was touched. I have heard every word you said, when I was waiting for the right moment outside. I'm sorry, I didn't let you finish speaking. Don't get me wrong, you're a very good Necrological Service speaker but... I just couldn't stand it and I just couldn't stay away. What can I say? I missed you, though that you're in my dreams the whole, entire time I was asleep." She said.

"You never fail to surprise me." Dorian told her.

"Let's party!" As Merian shouted the words, she turned up the speaker.

She now took over and hosted the event.

She even invited the doctors to join them.

Then all the people celebrated with joy.

She then turned her head to the both of Gisela and Dorian to plan their escape.

"Let's go." Dorian said as he assisted Gisela to walk away with him.

A month has passed and Gisela recovered faster with Dorian's help.

She was preparing for her flight.

She joined a writing contest that will be held in London.

"Do you really wanted to leave the country?" Dorian murmured against Gisela's bare skin as they snuggle together.

Dorian embraced Gisela more tightly from the back...

Though they are still lying on their bed...

She shifted her position and turned to him to caress his cheeks.

He doesn't say it, but his eyes were pleading for her to stay.

"I shouldn't keep you waiting for a long time. Knowing how impatient you are... You might follow me there." She answered.

"Hell! You got that right my dear Piggy. We'll tackle everything together. I'll follow you everywhere. Even in hell, if I have to. But... I'm not really gonna stop you from reaching your dreams. If that will make you happy, well... I'm down with it." Dorian snorted first before giving his serious opinion of letting his girlfriend leave.

"Don't worry. It won't take long. I need you to keep me grounded. I'll be back soon." Gisela stated.

Dorian kissed Gisela on the lips and they smiled at each other as they both stood and had their breakfast.

The man wanted to stop time as he looks at her features carefully while she's eating.

"What are you looking at?" She asked him smiling.

"My future." Dorian said holding Gisela's hand.

He knows how cheesy this is getting but he doesn't care.

"Dorian... Please, stop.  I can't contain the butterflies..." They both chuckled.

"Sorry for my cheesiness..." He smiled apologetically.

"Cheese is good. Especially Mozzarella in Pizza." Dorian stifled a laugh on what Gisela said.

After they have prepared themselves for this day, Dorian accompanied his woman to the Airport.

"I'll miss you. And I'll think of you everyday. I love you my dearest Piggy..." Dorian said.

He's trying to hold off his tears even though he already expected this to happen.

"Don't you dare cry Dorian. You're Godzilla. Dinosaurs doesn't cry. Plus, it doesn't suit you. I'll miss you and I love you too." Gisela warned him and gently reminded him of her love.

"I'm not gonna. Just promise me you'll take care of yourself and that you'll be back." He told his girlfriend.

She nodded and kissed the  man goodbye.

The kiss was lingering...

Like they do not want it to end...

And like they don't wanna let go of each other.

After they parted, Dorian waived goodbye to her.

Then, Gisela threw her last flying kiss to Dorian as she waived back smiling to him.

Later, Gisela was gone, she disappeared, even her traces.

Neither a silhouette, nor a shadow of her can be found.

But Dorian knew that he has to let her find her happiness first, 'cause when she does, she will go back to her love and they won't be dancing on their own and they won't be alone anymore.

With someone to come home to.

With someone to lean on.

With someone who has so much love to give.

Another year has passed but...

Gisela did not come back to Dorian.

Without any communication, like it was cut off, just like that.

However, he did not let that ruin him.

He realized that you will meet someone in your life that you couldn't forget.

Someone who will leave a mark...

The one that got away.

He always knew from the start, that not all of them will stay.

But sometimes, they go into your life, either to just pass-by, teach a lesson or just to be a part of a memory, like nothing ever happened, like it was just a dream, illusion, or a nightmare, well, whatever you may consider it.

He believes from the very beginning, that if it's bound to happen, it will happen...

Like how they first met.

Dorian was now able to focus on his career...

It was booming...

More commercials, TV Shows, movies and albums.

Because of his on-demand TV appearances, he was invited for an interview on one of his favorite pre-noon-time show...

The topics and the flow of the conversation was very light until the interviewer brought up and touched a subject that he tried so hard to avoid and answer for a long time.

"We heard that you had old flames in your life but one has been remarkable in this industry since she's the only one that you have confirmed as you're relationship and because of the trials that you've been through with her. We have sources and they said that she's now a famous writer in UK. So that maybe the reason why we're not seeing you together anymore for quite some time now. Is your fiance going home?" The host asked.

It took a while for him to answer.

The people are dying in anticipation for his response, since Dorian has been respecting his own relationship's privacy for a long time now.

The people are also lost why he's not been talking about HER a lot lately too.

They all think he's blanked off and doesn't know where to get his answer since he's taking his sweet time.

Suddenly, his phone beeped and he received a text message.

A message he's longing and waiting for such a long time.

A tear almost fell from his eyes.

"She will find her way back..." Dorian whispered.

"What was that Dorian? You were saying something? Oh, sorry, you can answer on your pace. Any time now..." The interviewer said.

Dorian was then shaken but...

His lips parted to give his answer.

"Yes, she's coming back." He confirmed to the people with a smile.
