Chapter 4. I will cherish this Moment

Adam and Savannah enjoyed each other company, they laugh, they eat, drink then laugh again.

You’re a good listener Adam and easy to talk with….I am sure you can be a great boyfriend or even a husband. Don’t forget to send me an email when you’re getting married. She will be so lucky to have you.

Thank you Savannah, now I have a fan hahaha

Remember Adam, communication is very important in any relationship. You can communicate well, coming from your heart. I can feel your sincerity. I will pray that you can meet someone that you deserve. You’re a good person.

Sav, your patronizing me huh!

No, Adam….I am expressing my opinion and thoughts about you.

This is very memorable for me Sav…I will always cherish the moment of our 14 hours trip.

Same here Adam…I will not forget you! You made my trip so easy and comfortable. The real truth about why I don’t go home very often because the 14 hours trip was so boring and unproductive but this time, it's different, I met a special friend.

Adam was so happy hearing those words from Savannah….

Adam’s POV

I am so happy sitting beside you Sav, it is obvious that we speak the same language and we are on the same wavelength. I enjoyed every moment with you. I hope there are another 10 more hours for this trip but we will deplane in the next two hours. I would like to kiss your lips and hug you tight.

So this is it, Adam, we have to say goodbye. Maybe we can bump in with each other someday.

No, I don’t want to say goodbye, let’s say…see you again. Here’s my number in California and my local number here, this is my email. Please communicate with me, I beg you.

I will, Adam. Here’s mine. My cellphone and email address.

They hugged each other and say…see you soon! Take care and don’t forget to keep in touch.

The trip to Tarlac was smooth but Adam was so sad.

Welcome home, my dear brother!

Thanks, Susan. I am ready to open the next chapter of my life, dear sister! I found her.

Wow..that was fast! But I am happy for you.

How do I get to CN province, Susan?

CN province? If I remembered it right, Uncle Ari is the commanding officer of that province.

You’re kidding me!

No, I’m not!

He is still working?

Yes, he is. He chose to work. He was so attached to his career as the tiger of Asia. He loves his work so much that he forgot his private life. He hasn’t got married since Aunt Lillian died. You know the story of their lives.

I looked upon him when I was a child and until now, how he carried his military career and at the same time take care of his family in spite of the complication of their union. He told me in the past that he killed his heart.

After Aunt Lillian died, I prayed so hard for him to find the love of his life. He deserved to be happy. I admired him for how he handled his family, Susan said. Let me call him tomorrow and see if I can make an arrangement for you.

Forget about calling him, I think I am going to surprise him instead, how’s that?

I think that’s a good idea, Susan said. But before your trip to CN province, let me organize a welcome party for you so I can invite our relatives.

Relatives and friends of the de la Lucca's are overjoyed to see Adam. It's been a while, almost 10 years since he visited the plantation. His childhood friend Rahul has three children and married to his childhood sweetheart. Adam's classmate and was been his girlfriend when he was on their teen was there to welcome him. Shirley is a special education teacher. She is happily married and has 2 children. It seems that his childhood friends are happy with their lives in the city. He felt that he was the only one who has painfully experienced marriage.

You have to find your true love Adam, Rahul said.

I think I found her already buddy!
