章 53: TOKYO CONNECTION
Broom...
Juan is driving fast, Jacky is arriving from Japan.
Tik tok tik...
She is already at the International Airport. Jacky is really fond of surprises.
Juan arrived at the airport and she is standing in the entrance waiting for him with her luggage at her side.
Juan hurriedly gets her luggage but Jacky grabbed his hand and pull him and embraced him. "I missed you so much."
Juan embraced her too and said, "I'm glad you're here." Juan said.
He put the luggage in the back of the Nissan Terra and they went to the hospital. Juan wants to eat first, but Jacky insisted to see Elena first.
Jacky opened the door of the recovery room and Elena was sitting already being fed by her Aunt. Jacky smiled and hold Juan in the arm and they went near her bed. Elena smiled and nodded.
"I'm so grateful for your help Juan, thanks, Jacky." Elena with tears.
"I'm happy that you are recovering my friend. I and Juan had many memories with you. We felt you as part of our family. Get well fast, you have a high paying job waiting for you in Makati." Jacky said.
Juan nodded.
They talked with her Aunt, and food delivered ordered online by Jacky, they ate at the hospital with Elena. "She is recovering fast, said the doctors," Elena's Aunt said.
"I have here a bag full of goods for you Elena. I will be back to Japan also today, I will have a practice surgery, I will assist in heart surgery with my famous professor tomorrow. This will be the hardest and nerve-wracking experience for me." Jacky said.
"I believe in you my friend, You can be the best surgeon," Elena said.
Jacky embraced Elena and went out of the hospital with Juan.
Jacky then went to the airport and Juan bade her goodbye.
Juan embraced her and kiss her in the forehead.
"Thank you, Juan," Jacky said.
"For what?"Juan asked.
" For taking care of our friend," Jacky said.
"That's nothing," Juan said.
"I know you did it for me." Jacky thinking.
Jacky waved and turned back to go to the plane.
"See you soon" Juan whispered to himself.
After one week, Elena reported to her new office in Makati, the Goldenfruits Inc. Export Office as Tony's secretary.
After one week of training and actual hands-on Elena shipped her first export products to Japan and Singapore.
"Yehey! Our visa for Japan were all approved!" Ruthie jumping and shouting.
Paulo was also jumping, "Yehey!"
He then prepared his painting brushes, paints, and canvases.
This trip was postponed because of the visa and by Elena's surgery. Now it will become a reality.
"There is a problem with the shipment in Japan, I must see it there personally," Tony said.
" When Dad?" Paulo asked.
"Tomorrow," Tony said.
"What?" Ruthie and Paulo in the chorus.
"Yes, I have informed Juan already. Pack up just a few clothes, we will travel lightweight, we will leave tomorrow." Tony said.
Juan arrived. Ruthie and Paulo greeted Juan excitedly and informed him of their instant trip tomorrow.
"Are you both sure?" Juan said.
"You are not excited?" Ruthie asked him.
"Excited? Here are our tickets!" Juan said.
"Hahaha! you got us! Jacky will be surprised! Ruthie said.
Early in the International Airport four of them excitedly went on board the Japan Airlines going to Tokyo International Airport. Juan, Paulo, and Ruthie went to the Nuova Restaurant by taxi to wait for Jacky. While Tony directly went to Tokyo Port to meet the courier and the buyer through a taxi...
Juan called Jacky through messenger.
" Hello, Why you are not opening your camera?" Jacky said.
"I have a new haircut I don't want you to see it yet hehe." Juan made an alibi.
"I just finished my class and going home now, I'm on the train now," Jacky said.
"Ok see you soon," Juan said.
"What see me soon?" Jacky asked.
"Yes, I mean in the video call," Juan said.
"Hahaha, you are funny," Jacky said and put off the call.
"Hey, why I'm hearing Japanese sounds it must be here in the train" Telling herself.
Juan went to the Roppongi-itchome train station and wait for her beside a mini stall or automatic kiosk that you just insert money and press a button. Juan had secretly put a GPS monitoring in Jacky's phone for emergency purposes that she can be located in the Philippines. He will use it today to find Jacky in this thousand of people in the station.
Juan glanced in his smartphone and see that Jacky is still on the train in the GPS. The train halted and all the passengers hastily are getting off the train.
He sees the dot on the map leaving the train and now is going to his direction.
Juan's heart is racing. Is he so excited, or afraid that Jacky could have a boyfriend here in Japan and he will see them both holding hands disembark the train? "What am I thinking? Jacky will not do that!" Juan smiled and did not entertain bad thoughts.
But honestly, he was scared and is feeling strange in this new and strange place.
Then the dot on the screen is about ten meters from him and he saw Jacky with a man in her side, "Is that the man?" Juan said to himself. But there are also other men on her other side and in her back. That is just another passenger. "Why I'm so stupid today!" Juan then sees Jacky in his front, shocked.
She can't move, "Are you really here?" Jacky can not believe her eyes.
Juan as if they are alone in the train station, embraced her. Jacky with tears, "I'm so happy that you are here Juan!" Jacky whispered to him.
"Let's go! I know a restaurant. Grabbed Jacky in the hand and they stopped a taxi and went to Nuovo restaurant.
In the taxi, Jacky is embracing the arms of Juan as if it is a fulfilled dream for her. When she gets out of the taxi, she was more surprised that Paulo and Ruthie were on the table waiting for her at Nuova Restaurant.
She can't control herself to run inside and embraced both Paulo and Ruthie crying.
"You are not happy to see us? Hahaha! We got your sister. This is my happiest moment to visit you here, don't cry." Ruthie said.
"This is tears of so much joy to be with you all," Jacky said.
"Your Dad was left in the Philippines?" Jacky asked.
They all nodded. They agreed to make it as another surprise.
They ordered seafood Ramen for Paulo, Sriracha Beef Ramen for Juan, Spicy Chicken Ramen for Ruthie, and Braised Pork Ramen for Jacky.
They also tasted Wagyu beef made into tender steak cubes, flame-grilled to perfection, and glazed with sweet and smoky Japanese Unagi sauce.
Sushi a delicious Kani crabsticks paired with fresh mangoes, wrapped in a sushi roll with Japanese sushi rice and nori, and drizzled with the new Spicy Aligue Mayo plus tempura crumbs and onion leeks!
They had pineapple juice.
After eating they walk to Maison Landmaine, Tokyo, Minato City, Azabudai, 3 Chome−1−5. They sit outside the bakery. They occupied the four rattan chairs with two small round tables and a white umbrella that cover them in the setting sun.
Jacky ordered caffe latte for four and a tray of bread.
Juan checked Tokyo on the internet:
"Tokyo is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Japan. Formerly known as Edo, it was a small fishing village that became the center of Tokugawa Ieyasu's government in the 16th century.
In 1868 it became the official capital of Japan and renamed as Tokyo, and since then it has been rebuilt after being hit by disasters as well as devastated by war.
In 1964 the summer Olympics were held in Tokyo, and in 2020 the Olympics are coming back once again to one of the greatest and most prominent cities in the world. By the late 1970s, the metropolitan area population reached eleven million, and today nearly forty million people live here."
They chatted, laugh, joke around tease and you can see the smiles.
"Let's surprise Dad and Mom when they come home," Jacky said.
Juan said, "We just walk going to your home."
"Yes, it's only forty-five meters from here," Jacky said.
They arrived in the Pacific residence, Azabu, Minato, Kanto region, Japan. A very cozy and beautiful home.
Juan, Ruthie, and Paulo imagined how their mother lived in this place before.
Jacky said this is our second home. "We will visit our first home where Nanny Martha lived with us."
Then there are steps outside the door of the condominium, someone is typing the pin code of the door. When the door opened.
All of them were surprised.
"Hahaha!"
Because Ely, Tony, and Luz went inside at the same time.
"Hahaha I want to surprise you both but instead we were surprised, especially me hahaha, because these jokers said Daddy Tony is left in the Philippines!" Jacky said.
"God bless you, child," Tony said.
Juan, Ruthie, and Paulo and Jacky get their hands and put in their foreheads as a Filipino gesture of respect.
"Let's celebrate! Ely said.
"I'll order some food," Luz said.
"Hahaha! I was really surprised." Ruthie said.
"Me too..." Jacky called them and toured them to their home. She let them enter her room. Paulo was so happy to see his paintings and sketches we're in the room and also in the living room.
Juan just looks but he can imagine his mother. I must see Mom before we go home.
Ely and Tony are talking about their plans.
Both of them solved the problem with the buyer and gained the trust and will order more next week and every week.
They also went to the Maketa Foundation office and made an appointment with Maketa Tamashi Takuma.
