When Sandro returned, he found Kiana at a convenience store and asked her why she left. She then said that she thought he left her, making the two laugh it out and continued spending time with each other until Sandro dropped Kiana and her cousin home.</p><div> </div><p>“Shortly after that day I realized that exporting lambanog was not actually my calling, rather work rather than importing you, Kiana into my life,” Sandro said.</p><div> </div><p>“In richness, in poorness. In sickness and in health. ‘Til death do us part. You are my miracle. I love you. I run to you and we run to the cross.
