22. Dear Best Friend, PARTY

Ciara's POV

This is the moment of our life and it is our last night in Surigao and tomorrow early in the morning, we will go back to Butuan City. We were just bathing in the very fresh and warm seawater.

My grandmother's birthday is the best one yet! Maybe, it was because my parents and everyone I love are with me, together, and now we are all complete, which is what I prayed before for so long.

Until now, we have been swimming at night, but who cares? We're enjoying our night out! We can do what we want, even my parents are swimming with us and I can see that they are so sweet together. I didn't see them being sweet before, of course, they are always not around.

"Wow, these lovebirds are so sweet," my uncle Derek joked toward my parents. For him, it was also the first time he saw my parents so sweet.
