The wedding day...

Faye and Yoko is standing side by side in front of the altar as the royal priest officiate their wedding. Yo been dreaming about this day for a long time and now that it becomes the reality, she just wish to enjoy the moment. She hope to forget what she knows now so she can focus and put her heart in the ceremony.

Yoko look at Faye, and all she could think of is how beautiful bride she is. She is once again reminded why she fall for this beautiful being in front of her. She is Faye, the woman that Yoko adore ever since and she love even more when she gets to know her soul.

But unfortunately...the love has always been one sided.

These thoughts came flashing to Yo. She has been thinking a lot and she came to conclusion that she forced Faye into liking her. In her perspective, she took risk and thought that she will be contented to whatever the result may be — she should be happy with the result but she is more than sad than before because she is not contented, she wants Faye's whole heart and soul.

"Everyone, it is my honor that I present to you our newly wed — Lady Faye and Yoko the Dutches of the house of Aki Shi."

The couple face the crowd's cheer upon the announcement of their union. They look at each other and they share the iconic kiss that made the crowd cheer even more louder than ever.

Yo look at her now wife with a sad smile.

I want to be selfish and claim you but ... I would rather set you free.

They kissed again.

Yoko plan is to escape the palace around midnight so she made an excuse to Faye that she will be with her father after the reception for some 'meetings' and the lady doesn't seem to suspect anything so Yoko easily slip out.

She is escorted by the royal guards on her way to the airport. While in the car, she had time to check her phone and it suddenly buzz to reminder.

Reminder: 3 months! Guard your heart.

There are a lot of notification but that reminder stand out the most. It's as if she is being reminded that it is now time to let go.

"It's time, Yo. You've been holding into it for quite too long." She whisper, again with tears in her eyes.

Once she reach the airport, she requested to be on board alone to avoid unnecessary attention. She carry her belongings and quickly went inside, knowing that some airport personnel will assist her.

"Lady Yoko, this way please..."

Yoko looked at the personnel and she recognize the seal so she followed her.

Every step she made, her heart aches and made it a little bit heavier to continue.

"You can do this, Yo." She said cheering herself.

She glanced at the security personnel when she notice that she walk slowly and is now busy talking to someone on the phone.

"Is everything alright?" Yo asked.

The personnel smile at her and then guide her to the lounge.

"My Lady, I need you to stay here for 5 minutes. We are just clearing some security checks." She said then left.

After few minutes...

The personnel came back and greeted her again.

"The plane is ready." She said.

Yoko followed the guard. She keeps her pace and look ahead to avoid the crowd.

"Yoooo..."

She looked back and saw Faye.

What the fck!

She tried to walk faster and move up her pace but Faye's long stride quickly catch on and before she knows it, Faye already grab her and hug her by one hand. Yoko refuse to hug her back.

"You cannot just disappear like that. I will notice it right away." Faye whisper.

Yoko doesn't know how to react. She is not expecting Faye to quickly chase her. She is set to disappear and she has this whole plan to be 'missing' once she lands to Philippines to escape from Faye but she did not expect to see her prior to her boarding.

"Why are you here?" She asked, confused as to why Faye is here.

"My wife is here. Thats why I'm here too." She said softly, Yoko's heart soften but she quickly pull herself together.

Yoko break the hug and walk forward. Faye just followed her quietly.

"Why are you following me?" Yo sound irritated when she notice that Faye also line up for the VIP queue.

"I have the same passport as you have now." Faye said with a cheeky smile as she show her the passport with the seal of Japan Royal Monarch.

Yoko sighed and keeps herself busy.

They onboard on the same private plane and that pisses Yoko more.

"There is a mistake here." Yoko said to which Faye just shrugged and grab her to enter the cabin.

Faye literally lift Yoko up and put her on her seat.

"Wait for me, we will talk." Faye said in commanding tone.

Faye turn to get the box of ring in her bags and then turn back to Yoko. She put the ring box in the side table.

"Now... we can talk. Ask me anything." She said, they are still face to face. Faye is leaning towards Yo.

Yoko avoided her gaze and chose to fix her eyes towards the window side.

"Come on... tell me." Faye said gently as she fall on her knees. She did that so she would be level to Yo.

"I don't want to talk."

"What do you want? You want kiss?"

Yoko roll her eyes and now look back at Faye.

"I know the truth, P'Faye." She said with anger and frustration written all over her face.

"You know the truth? Or you assume to know the truth?" She clarified, not willing to back down at this point.

Yoko thought of it for a minute and then she adjusted her seat. She is not comfortable that their faces are almost inches away from each other.

"I might not know the whole truth but one thing I know -- you lied."

Faye's face shifted. She acknowledge that Yo said is true and it also hurts her that Yo is suffering because she choose not to tell her the truth.

"Did you ever love me?" Yo asked, the insecurity and doubt is obvious in her question.

Faye suddenly had flashbacks with that question. She had the same question before with Nine, and it breaks her knowing that Yoko felt it too.

"Actually — don't answer that because I know. You love me just enough."

Faye shook her head and slowly sit on the floor.

"You have no idea." She said with a smirk in her face.

The cabin crew approach Faye.

"Lady Faye, we need you seated properly so we can take off."

Faye nods and followed the cabin crew instruction. She sat down with seat belts on and then the plane take off.

They are quiet as the plane takes off.

They are both trying to soaked up with their emotions.

Faye look at her wife...and sigh. She doesn't know what to say or do at this point. She just got lucky that her father in law favors her that she got a confidential tip about her wife's plan that night that she can quickly react.

She don't know what Yoko is thinking right now but all she knows is Yoko will not leave her out of spite so it should be big or build up resentment that she needs to know and make sure to pay for it.

"Where are we going?" Yoko asked confused as the screen doesn't show 'Philippines' as the destination.

Faye smile.

"On our honeymoon." She replied.
