Chapter 40: RED DAY
Graduation Day.
The MSU Gensan campus was filled with Graduating students wearing red robes or gown with two stripes of Yellow in the arms two inches wide, with single Golden Yellow two-inch stripe in a red hood decorated with green and red embroidery fish design, with a red tall hat with a red-orange tussle in it's top.
Medals, Certificates, March, Speeches, Pictures, Parents, Friends, and best is when the most important person in your life aside from the Almighty God is there rejoicing with you, not alone but her whole family.
I made a speech it is dedicated to all my loved ones but it is especially targeted to the one who is absent. My mother dear. Who forgot because of Alzheimer's, we know she is the happiest if only she knew or is here. I let my speech be recorded in a video to be posted on social media and all the good and best events in our lives that we just dream that she is here with us enjoying the success because of her sacrifices and initial decision to get out of our miseries.
I shouted, Mother Martha, we will find you and remind you of what you forgot, we will be your memories, we will express our love to you.
We know you are Maketa Tamashi Takuma today but the day will come you will be with us.
We had a graduation ball.
I danced with Jacky until it ended.
The whole week, from the airport to the campus grounds, all the Rollo Security And Detective agency are busy for the protection of the school, especially us until the graduation was finished. We take the threat seriously.
We have a family party in the Green leaf Hotel. It was announced as a private only the Tiro and Yamadachi Family.
Jacky was surprised when the door opened the guards were lined with swords drawn and she passed under the swords. I'm in the end kneeling with the engagement ring in my hand.
Then the lady guards pop the confetti poppers and I said, "Will you marry me?"
"Yes, anytime you want!" Jacky said with tears of joy.
I put the ring in her hand. We embrace and I kiss her in her forehead. I said I will kiss her in the lips next time in our marriage. Everybody laughs.
We then went to our parents to kiss their hands and we sit in the center table.
The pastor prayed and we started the party that evening.
The buffet was complete. Everybody enjoyed the songs, food and the chats.
A lady singer entertains us with songs...
One of it... "Close to you"
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold And starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
It was attended by all our friends, classmates from high school and college, churchmates, and all the employees of the Goldenfruits, Rollo Security and Detection Agency.
Rose and Robert were dancing also, and it can be seen that their relationship is going to a higher level.
"This may be a double wedding." Whispered one of their friends.
It was agreed between Juan and Jacky that the wedding will be after Juan's Bar Exam and Jacky's Board exam which would be last.
"We are not in a rush," Jacky said.
"This is a grand celebration, I feel very much of a VIP, from security to accommodation." Ely telling Tony.
"Many are on alert for us," Tony said.
Actually, it was intentionally falsely announced to be held in East Asia Royale Hotel to spoil if there were attempts to sabotage.
But we are not letting our guard down.
There then news on TV of a commotion in the East Asia Royale Hotel because there where questionable men in motorcycles and van who parked near the hotel, then the alerted police try to approached these vehicles but they refuse to be inspected and instead run away. The police then go after them.
The suspects fight back while trying to escape.
They were cornered in three different areas.
"If we have not strategized to announce a different venue for our activity today, and informed all in the last minute of the change of venue, we are in trouble today." Boss Rollo said as one of the sponsors of the celebration.
"We will disband by batch ever 20 minutes in different doors and gates." Boss Rollo said.
After the celebration, they had traveled going to Davao City then had a private party for two days at Pearl Farm, Samal Island, only the Tiro, and Yamadachi family.
As they are approaching the island, beautiful houses on stilts and the very famous Parola house was seen.
"Wow, this is like paradise!" Jacky exclaimed embracing Juan.
Greeted by a welcome drink (tropical drink of fresh orange-pineapple concoction) Ruthie excitedly enjoy the jaw-dropping view of the entire landscape of the resort.
"This is truly amazing and I would say that it is really a place to relax and unwind," Luz said.
The resort is truly as picturesque as you approach the resort.
The pearl farm brochure reads:
"Pearl Farm is situated on the peaceful side of Samal Island. they reach the hotel after a 40-minute boat ride away from Davao city. They enjoy the scenic views. Pearl Farm Beach Resort was quietly amongst the tranquil clear shores of the sea and a hillside cliff. The exotic hotel rooms, with wooden floors and local decorations, are equipped with modern facilities."
They rest in the Parola bar which is a great place to relax have a light snack and fresh fruit juices while watching the sunset, you can even see the colorful fish swimming as you gaze the clear sea.
Jacky and Juan played with Ely and Luz, then Joel and Tony in the tennis courts until soaked in sweats. They had relaxed for a while, then take a bath in the pool. "I love the infinity pool and their clear sea with you Juan." Jacky happily looking at Juan as if she is in a dream. The temperature of the pool is cool, it looks as if the pool and the sea are connected.
You can see the sun as it sets in its orange yellow color reflected in the pool and in the sea.
"A beautiful sight with you Jacky, my life will never be complete without you." Juan expressing his emotions.
Next day, early in the morning after a complimentary buffet breakfast in the Maranao Restaurant, the restaurant made of varnished bamboo, and other native materials that made its elegance. they had water sports, they had a free boat ride to a nearby Malipano island, and did a whole afternoon diving, seeing the underwater beauty of corals, diverse colorful fishes like Nemo, sea creatures, sea cucumber, sea orchins, star fishes, and Sea horses, they enjoy taking pictures using a waterproof camera.
They had indulged in some expensive pampering from head to feet.
When Juan finished the body massage he heard the vibration of his smartphone. He stands and takes his shirt and put it on. Checked the fourteen(14) unread messages and nineteen(19) missed calls.
Before he can open the messages another call vibrating...
"Hello!" Juan answered.
"We have been contacting you for a while!" Crying.
"Hello, who is this?" Juan inquired.
"This is Merlyn" Words almost not clear because she is sobbing.
"Ma'am Merlyn! What happened!" Juan nervously inquired.
"Alex was ambushed from the birthday party going to our residence, actually we are all inside the Hummer." Merlyn Rollo crying.
"Is he OK?" Juan asked.
"I can still smell his blood in my dress and body, I really don't know yet, hohoho" Merlyn crying.
"I will be there the soonest! just be safe" Juan replied and called Falcon5 and instructed to secure the safehouse with Northstar's wife and children.
He also called Falcon1 but he cannot be accessed.
