Future Sight Pt. 6

I went to my sisters’ place and stayed there. Right next to their place was my parents’ place. So my sisters did have their dreams realized. Janice is an engineer and Ruby owns her own restaurant. My father still works as the president of an insurance company. He still has five years before his retirement. As for my mother, she’s just at home working on her cross-stitching and her aquarium. I’m not worried. They have a pretty good pension plan.

I visited my favorite aunt at Cainta. After that, I went to the mall. As I was walking inside, I saw this shop named, ‘KC.’ so I went inside and saw that it was a boutique and hobby shop. One of the salesladies asked me if I needed something. I told her I was just browsing. I asked her what KC stood for. She said that KC stood for the names of the founders of the business, Kayne and Carl. Huh! Karen and Carol? Then I asked her where they were. The saleslady said that they were at a fashion convention at Paris. I told her, ‘This must be a very successful business.’ Then she said, ‘It should be. There are 53 other branches all over the country and 10 outside.’ Carol and Karen did make it good.

That evening, I went to a bistro to relax. That night’s special guest was the band of Dexter and Nelson. They just came from their world tour. Even though I didn’t enjoy country music that much, I stayed and listened to their music. They’re my friends after all.

Two weeks have passed and I have to go back to Cebu. At the PNA, I saw Karen and Carol who also arrived from Paris. I told them I heard about their success with their business. Like old times, we had lunch together. We had a little catching up to do. They had to go to Manila the next day. Both their husbands also have their own business. Like Carol and Karen, they’re partners.

The final days of my vacation were over. As for the others that I never heard from or seen, I could only guess what lives they now have. I’m just happy because I know that most of them have successful lives. Who would have thought that they would make it big? And I mean big, very big.

As for me, I went home to my sweet, caring, and loving wife and to my beloved twins. The next time I go back to the Philippines, I’m gonna bring them with me so my wife would see our old friends and my children would see what a nice place the Philippines is.

End.
