"Go and serve the Lord" Fr Daniel said. The Parish Priest of Don Bosco Chapel on the Hill.

" Thanks be to God" the congregation responded.

"Mama and Papa bless po" MJ said.

(After a few months of constant and consistent visits by Edward to Marydale, MJ and her family, Mardyale and Edward have slowly dislosed to MJ that Edward is her father. MJ was very happy to have Edward as her father. Kevin, Catherine, Laura and their family are as well were pleased that Edward and Marydale reconciled with MJ are now a family).

"What do you want to eat for brunch my little love?" Edward carrying MJ in his arms, walking towards their car after the morning Sunday Mass.

"I want pancakes, eggs, hotdogs and sinigang po my favourites Papa."

"wohoo, that's a lot for a young lady like you" Edward chuckled "Now with that kind of appetite, you are definitely your mother's daughter."

"Talaga lang ha. Sa bahay na lang tayo Edward and MJ, am sure your Lola Lorna have already prepared something."

"I think I have a better idea Love, why don't we go to our favourite place for brunch at Twin Lakes Resort?

"Sige, tawagan ko lang sila Mama na magpunta na din para sabay sabay na tayong maglunch."
"Bakit kaya hindi sinasagot yung tawag ko, sinubukan ko na din si Kuya Vincent at Patricia?"

"Paki-text mo na lang kaya sila Love, sumunod kamo sa Twin Lakes Restaurant, we will meet them there."

When they arrived at the Twin Lakes, Marydale saw the sign board that it was closed for the whole day for a special occasion.

"Edward, close yung resto may special occasion daw. Sa iba na lang kaya tayo."

"Wait Love, kausapin ko lang yung manager, I'm sure they will accommodate us, we are less than 10 people anyway."

When the resto manager saw Edward outside, he let them in "Good morning Sir Edward, we're very excited to see you today."

"Edward, nagpareserve ka ba? bakit excited ka daw makita nung manager? At bakit ganito hitsura ng restaurant parang may special occasion talaga , ang gaganda ng decorations. Naala ko tuloy yung decorations sa Café Mirior at Eiffel Tower sa Paris, ang galing galing ha? in fairness, para tayong nasa France, baka may wedding reception o anniversary kaya dito na magaganap. Sa iba na lang tayo, halika na."

"Mama it is pretty here. Where is France? And what is that big picture of a tower?"

"Babygirl, France is so far away that is place where Mama and Papa used to work. That one is a picture of the Eiffel tower.

Marydale approached the framed photo of the Eiffel tower and smiled back at Edward who is still carrying MJ in his arms. Looking at Edward's eyes saying silently that "Hey you remember this?"
Edward approached her and asked "Do you miss the place Love?"

"I do Edward, we have had very good memories of the place."

"Sir, Manager, puede po bang mag papicture dito?"

"Ay yes po, Ma'am kunan po kayo ng family picture."

Edward was happy seeing Marydale smiling effortlessly. He always knew that she loves the Eiffel Tower with so many good memories between them.

"O after this we'll go na, baka dumating na yung mga bisita dito."

"But Mama I am hungry na po, and Papa said we can eat here."
