When Martin and David heard Armando's words, they are both stunned into silence, they keep twitching their mouths but no words come out of it.
Okay, okay, I know that both of you are surprised, I will tell you about it some other time, tonight, let's celebrate their arrival and tomorrow we will all go back to the island to have a week of rest from all the stuff we are doing. Armando said as he saw the look of surprise on David and Martin's face
Oh, let's go out and buy some food and wine, a celebration is not complete without liquor and food. Jewel said to everyone as she stood up and hurried to her room to change her dress
Oh, wait I'm coming with you, Arriane also stood up and run to the stairs excitedly.
Armando: " hey, Arriane, where do you think you're going? Your father has just arrived and your planning to leave instead of bonding with him?
Arriane: " uncle, we have lots of time to catch up, but going out to shop for food and to celebrate only comes once in a lifetime. Arriane called out before she closed the door of her room to change, afraid that Armando will change his mind, and take back what he said about celebrating earlier.
Armando was left speechless gaping at the stairs, he didn't expect that those girls will go just like that at the mere mention of the celebration. Well, what could he expects, they are still young, and just like other young girls they also like to hang out and have some fun.
Marcus: " bro, let her be, she's right anyway. We do have lots of time ahead of us to catch up for the lost times, besides, she's all grown up, I think the only topic that we could talk about is something that related to our work. And then, it would be too boring for her. Marcus said to Armando as he chuckles, he was amused by Armando's reaction as if Armando regrets the words that he said earlier.
Dad, uncle Armando I'm coming with them, I'm afraid that they will buy all the stocks of liquor in the supermarket and will eventually forget to buy food for dinner. Morgana said to Marcus and Armando.
Do you want me to drive??? I know that you are tired, I and your father can accompany you guys while you do your shopping. Armando proposed knowing that Morgana is tired, in that way he could also keep an eye on the number of liquors that the girls are going to buy.
Morgana agrees to Armando's suggestion and the three of them went out and into the car to wait for Arriane and Jewel there.
That night, they have a feast, the younger members of the gangster eat and drank except for Morgana who retired early in her room. Armando, Lewis, David, Martin, and Victor are chatting while drinking wine, by that time, David and Martin already know the true identity of Armando and Marcus and how they become comrades. Armando tells them about it during dinner.
****************
Simone, Marcus whispered the moment he saw the woman in his dreams for so long that he thought it would only stay in his dreams forever. Now that Simone is standing in front of him, he can't even move a muscle to come forward and envelope Simone in his arms.
"...Marcus, Simone murmured and blinked her eyes thinking that she is only dreaming. Never will she thought that she will see Marcus again standing in front of her twitching his mouth as if he wants to say something but no words come out of his mouth. They are both standing still looking at each other and tears flow down their faces like a dam that suddenly opens.
Morgana and the others stood watching them in silence afraid to break the moment that was unfolding before their eyes as the two lovers standing there and looks like an idiot crying for the lost times but didn't make a move to breach the gap that separated them.
Oh, God please... Will you stop that nonsense and just go hug each other if you want??? You're both grown up, and your daughters here are watching you along with the others as if they are watching a movie. Daisy said and break the silence the moment that she walked into the living room and saw the people gathered watching Marcus and Simone crying like two children who lost their lollipops.
Morgana: " Oh, aunt Daisy, you're such a spoilsport, can't you see that we are enjoying here and in suspense waiting for them to make a move??? Morgana and the others complained as if Daisy turned off the tv while they are watching their favorite show.
" spoilsports your ass, just go ahead and do what you are supposed to do, don't bother them, you know yourself that your parents have a lot of catching up to do. Daisy answered as if the people that they are talking about couldn't hear her.
Everyone in the room dispersed upon hearing Daisy's words feeling embarrassed, Daisy is right, what they are doing is rude.
Morgana and Arriane went upstairs to find their grandparents and tell them the good news, both of them are happy for their parents and they are very excited to share the good news with their grandparents.
Arianne: " sis, what do you think??? Do you think that they are getting to tie the knots this time? If you ask me, I would like to see our mom walking down the aisle with grandpa to give her to Dad, isn't it sweet to finally see them together???
"... Mm, me too, I want to see them get married. It's just that I don't know if the time is right, I mean, we still have many problems. Regardless of the father and daughter, " Alice and Alexander " the problem with the dark organization is still left unsolved. We may weaken them a little but the problem is still there.
" Yeah, I understand that dad is currently working with uncle Armando and his buddies on the government's project, maybe dad could find a way to protect mom and our grandparents if they stay with him when they get bored here on the island. What do you think??? Arriane said after remembering that Marcus and Armando are both working for the government's project along with their buddies in the military service.
