A Journey of Two Spoliarium Lovers (A Fanfiction) (Journey Series)

Chapter 13

We all went out of the car with the residents looking at us. Sooner, a Japanese man appeared and came rushing to Tacoy.

"Tacoy!" He shouted as he hugged Tacoy.

"Macoy!" Tacoy shouted and hugged him back. They both let go.

"Kamusta? (How are you?)" Macoy asked in a Japanese accent.

"Pogi pa rin. (Still handsome)"

"Me too." Then they both laughed. Tacoy then gestured to Maria, Harry and I and introduced us to him. He also introduced Macoy to us as his best friend. We were shocked when we realized that he is Jaime's grandson.

"Macoy, alam mo ba nasan si Tatay Eming? (Macoy, do you know where Tatay Eming is?). He has visitors."

"Oh." He said as he looked at us, "Come in."

Then we came in to their house with a sight of an old man, also in his 90s. Maria then cried, same as the man across from us.

"Maria."

"Jaime."

Finally, they meet. Moments later, Maria and Jaime are still inside, savoring their reunion while Tacoy and Macoy are still inside, trying to tell Macoy about their history to avoid confusion. I then asked for Jaime's permission to look at his photo albums and he said yes. I then went to their balcony, located on the third floor of their house. I looked at the view of the bay nearby and smiled. I smiled as well as I looked at the photos in the album.

"Dad still loved mom even though she's not Maria. He loved her until her last breath." I turned to see a nun smiling at me.

"I'm Carmen Martinez." She then extended her hand to shake.

"Freya Mavor."

"I came here to check if he's okay. But I see he has visitors."

I giggled, "Sorry for barging in."

"Gosh, it's fine. It's better if the man's got visitors. You see, he's dying."

"Dying?"

"Stage 4 Lung Cancer."

"I'm sorry."

"Thank you Freya, for bringing her to dad. It really means a lot to him. I placed his old letter to the museum, thinking that someone may find it and give it to her. And it found you Freya. It found Harry too. There must have been a reason."

I smiled, "For Harry and I to have an adventure in the Philippines I guess."

She smiled and left, telling me that she has to tend to Jaime before she goes back to the convent. I was left alone, looking at the album again until....

"I can't believe they've met again." I turned and saw Harry.

"Yeah." I said as he sat down beside me.

"What now?" He asked.

"I guess we'll go home?" I said.
