It was already past midnight but the party is still going. Quiel is busy having a conversation with the other farmers, while Eliza is having a good time talking with the women who are the sane age just like her. "Are you getting used to living here, Eliza? This place is a piece of heaven on earth, and you'll like it here since you're going to become Mrs. Quiel Montecillo." Sheryl babbled on "You're right.This place is much better than the Metropolitan city. It's so peaceful here." Eliza nodded in agreement. "You and our Boss are such a good match! We're really happy about your engagement and I hope we're also invited at your wedding." Elaine smilingly stated. "Oh, which reminds me, do you think that our Big Boss will invite Miss Celina?" Sheryl wondered, out of the blue. "Can't you just close your mouth, Sheryl?" Elaine reprimanded her, while giving her a knowing look. Eliza thoughtfully frowned when she saw Sheryl's reaction. Her eyes widened in shock for some unknown reason
The night of their engagement party finally arrives. Their engagement party is nothing grand, but just a simple one. The party doesn't require any RSVP, the guests are not required to wear any fancy gowns or suit and ties, and there's no other special guests. Quiel and Eliza's engagement party theme is just an outdoor bonfire, in their usual and everyday clothings, with beers and varieties of food that is freshly-harvested from the Montecillo Farm. They have decided to do a boodle fight, eating grilled fish, pork meat, boiled vegetables. They also have different types of fruits just like mangoes, bananas, papayas and many other else. The workers at the Montecillo Farm are eagerly waiting for the newly-engaged couple to go out to the vast garden where the party is going to be held... "You look so beautiful tonight, Eliza." Quiel smilingly told his future wife, as he is escorting her down the stairs. Eliza decided to wear a one-piece white summer dress, paired with simple pair of sa
Few days have passed.Tonight is the Welcome Party for Celina Mayer, which is going to be held at the Mayer's Family mansion."Are you alright, Eliza?" Quiel suddenly asked her, as they are making their way to the Mayer's family mansion. He noticed that Eliza's looking so anxious and apprehensive while they are driving their way to the Welcome Party."I'm fine, Quiel. This is my first time going to a grand party, so I'm a little bit nervous." Eliza relayed."Look, everything's going to be okay. I'll never let go of your hand and I'll always be by your side throughout the party." Quiel made a promise to Eliza."Thank you, Quiel. Saying those things mean a lot to me." Eliza said, while looking grateful.Both of them continued walking, hand in hand and Eliza feels comfortable with him and she feels like nothing can go wrong as long as she is with Quiel."Oh, hello there! I'm so glad to see you here at my Welcome Party, Quiel.... And Eliza." Celina greeted them at the doorway, but she doe
Eliza noticed that Eliza and Celina are seated next. She couldn't help but to think that Celina planned all of this all along. And because of that, a feeling of jealousy is starting to crawl inside her heart...Mrs. Mayer started to lead a thanksgiving prayer, then afterwards, they started enjoying their dinner.Celina's taking care of everything for Quiel during dinner, and Eliza's feeling so upset because she feels like Celina's overstepping her boundaries. She is acting as if she's Quiel's fiancee'."Would you like to have an avocado salad, Eliza? I tell you, this is really delicious." Eduard suddenly offered.And before Eliza could say anything else, Quiel suddenly spoke beside her, while looking dead serious."My fiancée is allergic to avocados, Eduard. It's dangerous for her to eat it." he suddenly spoke, while giving Eduard a meaningful look."I'm sorry Eduard, but Quiel is right. I'm allergic to avocados." Eliza nodded in retu
Few hours have passed.After talking and saying goodbye to Uncle Charles and Auntie Elizabeth, Quiel decided to look for Eliza so that they can go back home and take a rest.He is getting worried because he can't find Eliza, and he is wondering what could've happened to her.He was about to go to the Women's Comfort Room hoping to find Eliza there, but hee suddenly stops when he heard a familiar voice nearby."I can handle myself, Eduard. I can still drink! Please get me another glass of cocktail!" he heard Eliza's voice from the distance.He quickly made his way towards the garden, where he can hear Eliza's voice.He was surprised to see Eliza at the poolside with Eduard. He saw her trying to walk in a drunken manner, while Eduard is trying to assist her.Quiel didn't like how close they are, and their closeness is making him feel jealous. He quickly marches their way towards them."Eduard! What the hell happened to my fiancee
Quiel and Eliza arrived home safely. He is currently laying Eliza in her bed. Once he made sure that she's comfortable enough, he decided to say goodnight to her."Goodnight, Eliza. I'll see you again tomorrow." he gently whispers, while staring at the sleeping Eliza.He was about to get up and leave, but he was taken by surprise when Eliza suddenly grabbed his hand."Please don't leave me alone." Eliza was groaning in her sleep.Quiel worriedly stares at her, observing her if she is having a nightmare. He clasped her hand firmly, making her feel that nothing's going to harm her, she's not alone and everything will be okay...At the same time, he is having this urge to kiss those red and kissable lips of hers!"Dear heavens, please help me from this temptation." Quiel whispered, trying his best to control himself.Quiel's heart skipped a beat when he saw a tear flowing from Eliza's eyes and unto her cheek. And with that, Quiel can't f
Eliza is now making her way to the mango farm, while carrying a basket of food she prepared for Quiel. She lets out a big smile when she finally saw him, but she suddenly froze on her tracks when she also saw Celina..."Why is Celina at the farm? And what are they doing together?" Eliza curiously wondered aloud.She decided to hide herself from one of the mango trees, and she secretly watches them."Thank you for agreeing to meet me again, Quiel." she heard Celina speak, while smiling at Quiel.Eliza suddenly got worried when one idea cane into her mind... What if Celina wants to get back together with Quiel? And the worst part is, what if Quiel agrees to it?She snaps out from her reverie when she heard Quiel's voice."You know me, Celina. I always keep a promise." he said in return."I'll go straight to the point, Quiel. Eventhough we decided to end our relationship few years ago, my feelings for you hasn't changed, even a lit
Eliza, someone is looking for you!"Eliza momentarily stops from watering the plants at the huge garden when she heard someone calling her. She saw Irene, one of the staff at Tierra Alta waving at her."Who's looking for me?" she curiously asks Irene.Irene just smiled at her in return, but didn't really answer her question."Well, your special visitor is waiting for you at the Visitor's Area."And before Eliza could ask another question again, Irene smilingly walks away to take care of another patient.She thoughtfully frowned when she realizes something. She feels like this situation happened before, and everything feels like a deja vu, except the fact that Grandma Miranda is already in heaven.She lets out a sigh before she decided to stop the faucet from running.While she is walking her way towards the Visitor's Area, she can't help to wonder who could be visiting her at this time. She's not expecting any
A month later. Madeline watches from afar as the children at the Heaven's Door Orphanage who are busy picking fruits and vegetables from their garden. Her mind also went back to the time when she finally found out her true identity and her biological father, which is Shun Saito, the owner and the founder of Heaven's Door Orphanage. She can still gave feelings of regret, even though it has been a month since her father passed away. It was too late for her to know about her real identity but they also thought that it was her father's time to be with their Almighty Creator. She is moving on slowly but surely with the help of Aunt Yumi, her best friends Peppy and Rachel, also the children at the orphanage. However, he hasn't seen much of Oliver after the funeral service of her father. She misses him so much, but she also doesn't have the right to feel that way because they don't have a romantic relationship... "Don't you want to join them picking vegetables and fruits? It looks fu
Oliver ran like a madman as he is dashing through the hospital's hallway where Uncle Shun is confined.He received an emergency call from Aunt Yumi, and she told him that the old man's condition has worsened due to the complications on his heart.He is now transferred to the Intensive Care Unit for observation. Uncle Shun needs to have an open heart surgery as soon as possible, but he's still on a waiting list for heart donor recipients...Oliver saw Uncle Shun sleeping, with all of the tubes in every parts of his body. Aunt Yumi is at the bedside, holding his hand while watching over him."Auntie Yumi." he said, in a whisper.The old woman looks up, and she tries her best not to cry out loud."Oliver... You're Uncle is in a very critical condition. The doctor said he needs to undergo open heart surgery or else... I am not yet ready to lose him!" Aunt Yumi tearfully stated."Everything will be fine, Auntie. I'm sure we'll find a donor soon." Oliver tries to comfort the old woman."I h
At Heaven's Door Orphanage...Madeline is happily playing with the children at the spacious garden. They are playing hide and seek, and she can say that she's enjoying every minute of it.Madeline thoughtfully frowned when she saw a car driving its way to the orphanage's garage. She lets out an audible gasp when she found out that it was the man who saved her on the streets few weeks ago...The children quickly ran towards the man, and they all greeted them warmly. After talking with the children, the man is now walking towards her direction."It's nice to see you again after that incident. Introductions are in order. My name is Oliver Burton. How about you? What's your name?" Oliver introduces himself to her."I'm Madeline Falcon, and thank you once again for saving my life." Madeline smilingly responded."You're welcome----!" Oliver stops at mid-sentence when Peppy suddenly came out to the garden."I'm glad to see you dropping by here, Oliver! You aren't busy today?" Peppy happily g
Madeline stops daydreaming, and turned her attention back to her friends...================================It's already late at night, and Madeline is watching over the sleeping children. She's doing her rounds tonight, the check each of the children's room at the orphanage.After she checked all of the rooms, she's now walking at the hallway, and she's about to walk past Auntie Yumi's office, but she suddenly stops when she heard the phone ringing inside.The ringing phone was so loud, that she's afraid the children who's sleeping nearby the room might wake up because of the noisy sound.She doesn't have any choice but to enter the office to answer the call."Hello, this is Heaven's Door Orphanage, how may I help you?" Madeline answers the call."I'm sorry, may I know who's this?" she can hear an old man's voice from the other line."I'm Madeline, and I'm a new staff here at Heaven's Door Orphanage. Is there anything I can help you with?" Madeline politely inquired.She was taken b
The three of them decided to hit the sack and call it a day because they have an early start tomorrow.Before Madeline could finally drift off to sleep, she remembers Mother Superior, the nuns, and the children back at the Sunshine Orphanage.And after a few minutes, she finally fell into a deep sleep...=============================The next day.Madeline is currently carrying two brown paper bags full of groceries while walking with Auntie Yumi. She was asked by her to accompany her to the grocery store, to buy a two-week stocks for Heaven's Door Orphanage. "So, what do you think about Japan, Madeline?" the old woman suddenly asks her."So far so good, Auntie." Madeline smilingly answers."I'm glad to hear that. I'm sure you'll get used to living here in Japan in no time." enunciated Aunt Yumi. "I think so, too." Madeline said in return."Oh, I almost forgot! I made a promise to the children that I'll buy them donuts for their snack later. I'll just drop by the donut store real q
Two weeks later.Madeline is overwhelmed with emotions while she's walking side-by-side with the Mother Superior, while the nuns and the children are watching them with sad expression on their faces.She tries her best not to cry, but she knows that she's going to miss everyone and everything at Sunflower Orphanage. This is the place where she felt the true love of a true family."Don't be sad, dear. You can come back here whenever you want. We'll be waiting for you." the old nun gives her a reassurance."I'm really going to miss everyone here, Mother." Madeline sniffles in return."It's normal for you to feel that way. But this is not the end if everything. You will start a new journey of searching for your father." the Mother Superior gently stated."We wish you all the best, Madeline." Sister Assuntta joins in their conversation."Thank you very much, Mother Superior and Sister Assuntta. I'm sorry if I gave you lots of trouble and headache while I was growing up." Madeline is gett
Later that evening.It was already late at night but Madeline still couldn't sleep. Her previous conversation with the Mother Supervisor keeps on replaying on her mind."This is a once in a lifetime chance for you to find your father again..." the old nun told her earlier.Madeline carefully got up from her bed. Since she's having a hard time sleeping, she decided to take an evening walk to breathe in some fresh air and to clear her head...After a few minutes, Madeline is now at the orphanage's playground, and she's currently sitting on a swing while admiring the round, bright moon..."What do you think I should do, Mama? Would you like me to look for my father, or just forget about him and move on with my life." she wondered aloud, while looking at the moon.Madeline tried to listen to her head and her heart. Deep inside her heart, she still wishes to see her father face-to-face. She also wanted to ask why did he leave them and why he didn't try to find her after so many years...Sh
Darlene is currently at her favorite coffee shop, while waiting for a certain person who has been a part of her life.She decided to meet-up with her former high school English teacher at Alta Tierra High and her first love, Mr. Oliver Burton. She needs to talk to him for the very last time as a former teacher and student.She will be working with him on a charity project for a short time, so she needs to clear the air between them.And last but not the least, she needs to have one final talk to him and move on with her life with Aston..."Hello, Darlene. I'm so sorry if you have to wait for too long." She snaps out from reverie when Darlene heard Mr. Oliver Burton's voice.She lets out a small, polite smile while looking at him."Hi, Sir Oliver. It's alright, I almost just got here anyway. Please have a seat." she said in return.One waiter came, and they both said their orders. They waited for a few minutes, their orders came, and then they started talking."In was surprised to see
Darlene is busy having an enjoyable chat with the younger generation, who are the scholars of Le Coup de Foudre Foundation.Their family's company has been supporting young students with their education by giving them 100% full scholarship. At the same time, the company also invited some media people to do a coverage of the said charitable activity."What made you want to pursue your studies, Anna? Who is your big influencer?" Darlene curiously asked one of the students."To tell you the truth Miss Darlene, I wasn't really interested in studying. My original plan was to find any source of income by looking for a job. I thought that studying is just a waste of time, and I really want to work to help my family. But I had a change of heart when someone influenced me to continue with my studies for a much better future." Anna gave out a lengthy explanation."Wow, we should thank that person who changed your mind. May I know who is that person?" Darlene smilingly asks the girl."He is con
