Sarah is in deep thought; she sensed that Gerald has been sacrificing a lot for their relationship even to the point of giving up opportunities just to be with her. She has to talk sense with him and made him realize that they can still nurture and protect their relationship even if they will do projects individually. She has been praying for guidance on how to make him see things without making rush decisions that will be regretted and may cause rift between them in the future.
This is the best time for them to discern and assess their plans for the future. “Lord, please enlighten us on the best thing to do without compromising our principles and our love for each other. You have given me so much, for that I am thankful, but please show us the light, I love him so much and I know he loves me too. It is beyond my expectation how intense his feelings for me to the point of giving up everything he has established for his career. Please Lord, show us the way to hurdle the challenges we are facing now, without causing pain to anybody.”
The next day, Sarah is preparing for the special treat she wanted to share with Gerald. This is the moment when she will be giving him the signet bracelet and ring she had bought, a very first for her giving jewelry to somebody except her Daddy. They will be celebrating their seventh month anniversary and she wanted this to be very special. Gerald has been giving her so much and he was always the one preparing to surprise her; this time, she wanted it to be her. She asked the help of her Ate and cousin to to prepare for a garden dinner at the back of the vacation townhouse they rented. The view is overlooking the pristine natural beauty of the mountains in North Lake Tahoe; it is perfect for the occasion. She and her Ate prepare the favorite food, Chicken curry, pasta and bake pastries and cup cakes. They ordered some food from the restaurant and the special wine. Gerald and Gab are enjoying surfing at the lake and bonding with some of his cousins. He actually asked her for dinner at the nearby restaurant but she said if they can do it the next day because she has something to do today. He has no inkling that she is preparing for a special treat for him tonight.
She received a text from him asking where she is and what she is doing; he said, he missed her and said they really had fun fuindiong with the boys at the lake. She texted back, that she misses him too and will be seeing him tonight at the cottage. She gives the time for him to be there so they can eat together and have some stroll afterwards. She is excited, knowing how expressing he is, will he like what she prepares. Then her Ate Joan and her cousins tell her everything is ready and wish her good luck; they said they will transfer to the next cottage to look what the boys are doing and will tell Gerald that she will be waiting for him there.
Earlier, Sarah had a long conversion with Mommy Vangie and Ate Nhila and she learned that he has rejected so many opportunities just to be with her during her vacation. So she has to talk about it and make him realize about his responsibilities. She can do it, their love will bring them the best of what the world will offer. She knows in her heart that they are destined to be together so she is now at peace and her heart desire is for Gerald to feel the same; the security of the love that they have.
The she heard him entering the cottage, calling her name. She then answered him and tells him to go at the back of the cottage. When he saw the setting, he was surprised, he just look and then stare at her, he can take his eyes, she was so beautiful, so ethereal, so angelic; wow her smile illuminated her face …. Then she is moving closer to him and kissed him on his lips, saying, happy monthsary… I love you my prince, my babe and my Gerald, while holding his hand and leading him to the table. Gerald was overwhelmed with joy with the effort made by his princess. He didn’t expect this and this is the first time, she did this kind of thing; usually he is the one doing this. Wow, he said and hug her tightly...”this is the business you said you have to do when I asked you to go out with me earlier.” She just laughed and give him her angelic smile.
