The next day, Gunther went out to do groceries and he asked Lorna if Lorna would like to come with him, Lorna gladly accepted it.
The three girls decided to do general cleaning in the house of Gunther. The two, Carla and Thelma did the cleaning and Luisa ironed the clothes stapled in the wash room.
Gunther was very glad and surprised. His house was shining clean.
"You girls cleaned the house!" Gunther exclaimed as he put the groceries of the table in the kitchen.
"We have to make ourselves busy!" Carla answered the very delighted Gunther.
"Thank you very much!" Gunther thanked them.
"It's nothing compared what you'd done to us!" Thelma answered him.
"Gunther, how much was our share, I mean we also have to pay for the groceries!" Carla asked Gunther how much they have to pay for their share of costs for the groceries.
"No! No! No! You are my guests and as long as you are here in my house, you girls have nothing to pay!" Gunther said.
"We don't know how long we have to stay here in your house and you must not shoulder all the expenses. Giving us roof above our head was more than enough!" Carla insisted that they must have their share of the expenses for food. But Gunther shook his head, as what he said, the girls have nothing to pay.
One week past but the person that will pick the four Filipinas up did not showed yet. The girls became comfortable with Gunther especially Lorna. The other three, Carla, Thelma and Luisa noticed the closeness of the two.
"Now that you asked about it, yes, Gunther is already my boyfriend!" Lorna told her group that she and Gunther have already a relation with each other.
"So fast!" Luisa said and laughed. "I knew it! The way you looked each other!"
"Is Gunther serious?" Carla asked Lorna.
"I think so, because he asked me to marry him!" Lorna told the girls that Gunther asked her to marry him.
"What?" Luisa was surprised what she heard. "And you accept it? You will marry Gunther?"
"He promised to help my family. My parents are planning to go back to Cebu. My mother have a small land she had inherited, and my father is planning to cultivate vegetables." Lorna also revealed the plans of her parents. "Gunther promised that he will help. He will pay the debt that was made for my going abroad. My mother wanted a convenience store, you know a sari-sari store. Gunther will also give a capital for that and also an amount for the study of my brothers."
"That's nice, very good plan and Gunther will all do that? Than you don't have to hesitate, marry him!" Thelma encouraged Lorna to marry Gunther.
"I am happy for you, Lorna. Besides he will do many good things for you and your family, you really love him!" Luisa was happy for Lorna.
"I like him very much!" Lorna answered.
"You already told your parents?" Carla asked.
"We telephoned them. My father and Gunther talked. Gunther asked my father about marrying me and they agreed." Lorna said.
"You are very lucky, I wondered why Gunther chose you not me? Accept it, I am more prettier than you!" jokingly and laughing Luisa said to Lorna. "Joke only ha?"
Lorna did not answered Luisa, she just smiled. She was already used to the naivety and brutality of Luisa.
"If you will marry Gunther, then you will not go with us when the person will pick us up?" Carla asked.
