Dr. Aijohn treated everyone for a lunch buffet at the resort's restaurant. The staff set up their table by the glass wall that would give them a full view of the sea. It was already past twelve and the noon sun was high above them. Its scorching raysreflected on the water, sending sparkles in every tiny wave.

Everyone almost came intogether,except for Casey who was always busy with her picture - taking. Having Jianna in one arm,she posed in different areas and took photos by herself. Through time and experience, she had mastered in setting up her camera quickly through its tripod stand. In fact, her husband wondered why she took up business, instead of photography.

Seeing how she also get tickled everytime Jianna giggled, Dr. Aijohn wondered how many children did she has.

”Ate Casey,how many kids do you have? ” They all called her ate,being of the same age with Kuya Nap,who was three years older than Jim.

”'Haaay, we don't have the luxury of having a child. ” Luxury because,no matter how financially able they were to induce conception,still she couldn't afford it naturally. They had already gone to different obstetricians but all ended up in vain.

”Te, if I may suggest,you and your husband should treat yourselves with a vacation like this where you would momentarily free your minds away from worries and demands of business world. Just enjoy and take Hailey's Pill. ” Dr. Aijohn said sincerely.

Casey eyes glowed and widened,then she laughed. ”John,you really make me hope again. I'm getting excited about it. ”

”As long as you will not stress yourself in thinking if you will really get pregnant or not. Just take it easy and enjoy. Most of the times,stress matters much. Along with healthy diet and lifestyle, let's pray that Hailey's Pill would be blessed as the channel to the fulfillment of your desire to have a child. ”

She then called up her husband.

”Hon, guess what? I have a good news! ” She then narrated everything to her husband including the miraculous recovery of his dad.

”But Casey, I'm really sorry. I need you to be here as soon as possible.

Our company has encountered another problem and I know that only you can handle this very well. ”

Casey sanked in disappointment. Her time being spent with the family was still not enough. They were still planning to go to other famous tourist destinations out of Cebu, most of all to Bohol, to visit Anthon's known parents,and to Palawan, the place that held their dad's unforgettable memories.

”So we may,as well, leave here after lunch. ” Mr. Wayne said sadly.

”I will try to settle everything there then we will come back as suggested by Aijohn. Then,we can go on with our halted vacation. ”

”But..., ” Casey looked at Anthon.

”I will be missing you,Ton. Perhaps,you can go home for a while when I will be back so that the family would still be complete with my husband. ”

Anthon's looks became grim. ”I can't promise,te,but I'll try to consider that. ”

He,then,stood up and excused himself. When he came back after ten minutes,he was already bringing two boxes.

”Dad, are those boxes for me? ”

Jian' s eyes glowed as he saw the printings of the boxes.

Anthon nodded.

”May I open it now?” Jian asked again.

”Sure. ” Anthon gave a pursed smile.

Jian opened the smaller box first and saw that it was a small toy plane.

”Place that at the farthest corner of the table. ” He instructed as he picked up the box and the plastic wrapper.
