Chapter 79

Isabel recounts her and Franco's discovery of Gaby's personality.  Everyone listened to what Isabel said.
"And only now did you find out, Tita after all these years that you are with her?"  Riki asked, still incredulous.
"Yes, Tita. Countless people say that Tito Franco looks like Gaby," Ashlee said.
"Didn't you feel any leap of blood? The parent's connection to the child?"  Matt asked.
"Maybe there is, but we noticed that because we were close to Gaby when she was young," Isabel said.
"Auntie, just curious, how can you tell your sister what happened?"  Sasha asked.
"They already knew before we even went to the villa. And they were happy for us," Isabel said.
"You mean Bianca is my sister?"
Everyone turned to Gaby who was already awake.  "Is Bianca my sister? But we're the same age," Gaby said.
Clark sat down next to Gaby's bed.  "No, Gaby. Bianca was our adopted child. When you disappeared, I was very depressed, especially when the doctor said I had no hope of having children again. What Franco did was we looked for a child your age and found Bianca. When we visited Kuya Carlos' house, they already had a daughter, I didn't even ask because they could have more children because they were still young at that time. " Isabel said.
Gaby did not speak. She was shocked by what she heard.  "We did DNA and you matched Franco and me," Isabel said.
"And Dylan knows everything?"  Gaby asked.
"I'm sorry, Gaby. Even though you're a friend, I'm not in a position to lead your parents to tell you important information like this. They're still alive, and can still explain to you what happened. I'm sorry. " Dylan said.
****
After a few days in the hospital, Franco and Isabel took Gaby to their home.  And as expected, Jeff was there at home.  Clark, however, visits her from time to time and accompanies her when she wants to see Dylan.  Everyone agreed to stay at Gaby's house for bonding after Dylan was completely healed.
"What's up, Clark?"  Jeff asked, smiling.
Jeff handed him the bottle of beer.  Clark had just arrived, and he headed to the swimming pool where everyone was.
"Clark, have you and Gaby got along?" Matt asked. Clark was sitting next to Dylan and Gaby. Everyone looked at Gaby.
"Are you two okay now?"  Belle asked.  "Was the breakup with you before the kidnapping serious?"
"Yeah, we broke up!"  Clark said seriously.
Clark even glanced at Matt and Dylan.  He preferred not to break up with Gaby, but he had to do it.  He and Gaby thought of becoming friends first after what happened.
"Seriously?"  Belle asked in shock.
Clark did not speak.  “Hala!  Hey Clark, are you serious? ” Ashlee asked.
Matt smirked.  “Clark is such a clown.  If they break up, it won't look like that. ”
The girls looked at Clark, and then they hit him on the arm.
“Aw!  Geez!  What is your problem? ” annoyed, Clark said.
Jeff laughed.  "Geez, why are your female friends brutal?"
Riki and Matt laughed.  Dylan just shook his head.  They were distracted when they heard Franco's voice as he approached them, he immediately hugged Gaby.  Dylan smiled at them. 
"Hi, Tito!" Clark greeted.
"Gaby said you broke up, is it about what happened at the resort?"  Isabel asked.
Clark smiled slightly.  " Yes, Tita. We decided to be friends for now." Everyone looked at Clark, even Dylan.
"After what happened, I think being friends with each other is the best way to move forward. If you are meant to be with each other, fate will help you to be together. For now, enjoy every time you have, okay?" Isabel said
"Yes, Tita," Clark said.
"Guys, you take care of our baby girl first, okay? We just need to adjust for the legality of Gaby's role," said Franco. "If you need anything, the maids, and Jeff is there.  You don't have to go out, just order Jeff.  That's used to babysitting, isn't it, dude? "
Jeff laughed at what Franco said.  "It just looks biting!" Gaby said as she tongues out to Jeff.
"I heard you, lady!" Jeff said, winking at Gaby.
Gaby frowned, while Franco and Isabel laughed.  "You're like a dog and a cat," Isabel said. "You're Jeff, maybe you're beating Gaby, huh?"
“Ate, your daughter is such an amazon girl. She always looking for a fight ” Jeff said.
"You're not nice, don't lie!"  Gaby said at the same time.
Jeff just smirked then stood up to take the couple to their car.  The group was just watching.
“So it’s true, you two broke up?  And are you still smiling, Clark? ” Belle asked.
Clark didn't answer, just shrugged.
"Hey, is Clark serious?"  Ashlee asked.
“Geez!  You are very interested in Gaby and I's love life. ” Clark said. " Are you a paparazzi?"
"Just asking!" annoyed, Ashlee said
Clark laughed as the three women glared at him.  The group stared at them as Jeff approached.
"They're gone, Jeff?"  Riki asked.
"Yeah, and I'd be babysitting this gorgeous amazon here," Jeff said with a laugh
“There is no need, many will take care of me here if. I have four handsome bodyguards, Clark, Dylan, Rikki, and Matt.  I don’t need you, ” Annoyed, Gaby said.
Jeff laughed heartily.  “Geez, you’re always like that, hot-tempered!”
"And you're always like that, maniac!" Gaby said.

Clark catches Dylan heating the rice and dish.  When he sat down in front of the nook it took him a plate and cutlery.  He was also spooned rice and dish after heating.  Clark said that he had not eaten before going to Gaby's house.
"You're so sweet, dude! Thank you." Clark said.
Dylan laughed and sat on the other side of the nook opposite him.  "Be careful, you might be in love with me," Dylan said.
Clark just laughed.  Clark closed his eyes and prayed, Dylan couldn't help but grin.  Clark began to growl.
"Did you eat already?"  Clark asked.
"Yeah, I'm full," said Dylan
Clark didn't speak, Dylan took the phone out of his pocket and smiled.  Since the kidnapping happened, Gaby and Dylan have been close.
Clark smirked.  "You have a text. Who is it?"
"Secret?" Dylan said.
"Secret, my foot," Clark said.
Dylan laughed but didn't speak.  It’s been busy texting.  Clark glances when the young man smiles.
"Has Gaby replaced her in your heart?"  Clark asked.
Dylan glanced at him.  "Nobody can take Gaby's place in my heart. She's already a part of my heart."
Clark stood up and took a beer from that refrigerator, and he gave one to Dylan.
"Were you aware that you were Gaby's, first love?" Clark said.
"Yeah, she told me. And I was also her first heartbreak," said Dylan.  "If I hadn't been stupid, I wouldn't have left without telling her I loved her as well."
Clark did not speak.  Dylan glanced over.  "Has she told you?"  Dylan asked.
"I asked her what she truly felt about you. I asked her to be honest. That's what she did." said Clark.
Dylan did not speak.  "She's confused about her feelings now. She loves the two of us, but she doesn't know who's in her heart," said Clark.
"Did I ruin your relationship?"  Dylan asked.  "I have no intention of interfering with your relationship. She already knows how I feel when we're at Batangas. But she rejected me more than once."
"The kiss. That's what got her feelings mixed up. Your kiss in musical plays and your kiss recently." Clark said.
Dylan didn't speak immediately.  He drank the contents of the bottle almost halfway.
"Are you going to beat me up, disown me as a friend, and ask me to stay away from Gaby?"  Dylan asked.
Clark smirked.  "That's precisely what I want to do, but I'll look bitter and defeated."
Dylan was also slightly amused.  He knew that was precisely what he would do if someone else faced it, somehow, Clark still thought they were friends.
"I want an equal fight. Let's pursue her together," said Clark.
Dylan frowned.  "So you ended it with her?"
Clark did not answer his question.  "May the best man win!" said Clark.
Dylan just shook his head, lifted the beer bottle, and they hit it.  Then they drank together.
