89 Drowned by Love

Without the knowledge of George everyone in the wooden house and all his men were looking for him because aside that he's gone mysteriously, with his boots and uniform left on his bed he is supposed to prepare a meeting with the leader of Gabok. It would be a big insult if he could not personally appear. Likewise, Magee stayed quietly anxious if what she has done that made him sulked out again. Thereupon, Baldur and Henry just thought of plan B if they can't really find the lieutenant before twilight. The plan B is to install another american soldier from the team and act as the lieutenant.

" This could be okay." Henry nodded and scouted potential army from the soldiers' places to stand as lieutenant then returned to Baldur.

" Its Martin. He volunteered." Henry said. They already tried to prepare for the travel.

Meanwhile by the sea George was kinda fasting for just reading while smiling and laughing alone. He wasn't anymote cognizant of the time that he's running a little shortage with his appointment with the Gabok leader.

" Oh dear, I'm drowned in love with you. Apparently, I need a little help from my Dads if what would I do when I'm getting crazy now." Then he smiled and turned to the next page of the journal.

10 June 1938

Edward sent me another letter, this time, for the record, it contained 17 pages. I cried mostly upon knowing that she saved every single centavo I sent her. To retrospect, before I left her in Manila, I left her fifty pesos and 20 pieces of 50 centavo coins. Yet eventually, Edward found out that she eats bread in the morning with a glass of water (since its already the most delicious food in the universe aside from the boiled sayote leaves). But I worried the nutrients it could give her in the absence of the mouthwatering sayote leaves. Edward then course through his support on het with the trustworthy fencing teacher. But she's almost vegetarian, aside from being a bread lover, she longed for appetizing veggies at the mercado. Its maybe the result of always watching his goats and horses eating grasses in Tikaban.

"Haha! I can't control from laughing 'ama' Sibal was actually funny in expressing descriptions. I hope Magee's around. Hmm, but she doesn't like to see me doing some romantic advances on her. Anyway, hmm, next thrilling page."

" The dormitory had commotions in the morning of June 1. Magee's room was almost ransacked but the offender was caught because when she has heard that her door was attempted to open she thought that if she'll shout for "help!" no one will rescue and everyone might be scared, so instead, she loudly shouted of "fire! fire!" and almost everyone competed to get out running and so the offender was caught in the act, haha! My tummy aches in no time. My little girl is really wise and brave. I can't imagine how she did it and Edward was also laughing. Well, its just part of the 17 pages letter. Another thing, Magee also sent me a letter ( she's not aware that her biological Dad's eyeing on her 24/7). Her letter was written in mandaya--manobo-tagalog telling me about the handsome guy that she has to marry soon....

------------------------------------------

" Oh! my.....I can't get over this. I'm dying, my beautiful woman was looking for me around here in 1938. But hey, I have to be with my focus."

-----------------------------------------

..... is he someone reliable? I was laughing, yes on my reply, I said he is reliable and the best guy in the world. Then she asked if how did he looks like? then I took George's picture sent to me by Chuck and described to her his handsome guy of the future. She never knew that this is a different arranged marriage. The three fathers built a house for them first, sent them to school and make them thrilled about each other. Yes,I appeared as historian of love around. I just wonder if why Magee doesn't have any opposition, haha. Does it mean they were match in heaven? I lnow in my heary George would love Magee. I'm pretty sure of that. No guy would ever reject her because it takes another centuries to find like her. Besides, she does not rebel, she easily forgives, she's not interested of people's bad past, more of helping to ease emotional pains and she'd just adorable by telling me if I do wrong to her pets, he wants me to ask forgiveness too, haha. He doesn't like to talk about other boys of a kind, haha. She only wants to talk about his future 'handsome guy.' We already had a correspondence with Chuck and Edward regarding our children's wedding. Interestingly, I loved their granite house for them and hope they'll find it livable and fill it with cute children like them. Its actually a gift for them, from us. The granite house and a one hectare land around has a legal paper that I worked so hard to be theirs. The granite house was built for 10 years by their fathers and Chuck's quarterly salary were poured out for his unico hijo's granite house. All the supplies, dispositions, expenses and manpower were also shed by Edward as counterpart. Its a gift to their wedding soon.

"Wow! this is so touching. I mean..." He was teary eyed with so much
