Chapter 9 - Christmas Party

The Last Letter From my Lover

3rd

Christmas day has come, they were a lot of preparations that happened especially for Sol. Yazmin set a Christmas party for the 5 of them. Ligaya and Wanda prepared for the decorations while Sol was in charge of the meals. It was Sol's request to Yazmin to celebrate Christmas in an orphanage, where there are kids who also need to feel loved this Christmas. Yazmin agreed with it, and the 4 of them kept it a secret from Rina. Rina is confused about where they are going, but she's excited to celebrate Christmas with the 5 of them.

"Why are we here Yaz?"

"I don't know"

"You're weird"

When the car stopped the 4 saw the delight in Rina's eyes after she saw kids that are in line to greet us. She then smiled at Sol who's beside her and Sol whispered

"Merry Christmas, did you like my present?"

"How did you know?"

"You said that when we were drunk"

"You're taking advantage of me huh!" As Rina huffed while hitting Sol's arms

"At least, you're happy right now" Sol smiled as she said

SOL POV

They had a lot of fun, there were also activities that they enjoyed a lot. There were also kids who wants to play with us especially Rina, it's new for me to have this kind of environment. Christmas was full of presents they give me cars, money and expensive gifts that I don't usually use. But I never experienced this Christmas simple but meaningful, while thinking of these things Rina poked me and whispered

"Come with me to the car, we will give these foods for the kids"

I followed her but I opened the other car that made her confused

"Hey! Sol, why are you opening the other one?" Then I carried the box and said

"Just trust me" she nods and headed back to the facility carrying a box of food.

"Let's eat kids!" She excitedly said, they were waiting in line and after they got the food they all said thanks then eat joyfully. We were finished so Rina and I eat together but 2 kids approached us.

"Ate Rina, we have no chicken on our plate." the kids say in unison

"Sol, check if there's still a chicken"

"Ah, Rina we ran out of chicken" Wanda announced

"Okay, what are your names darling?" Rina asked the little kids

"My name is Elena," she said

"My name is Anna," the other one said

"What do you guys want to be?"

"I want to be a chef!" Anna said

"I want to be a businesswoman like you!" Elena said

"Wow! Elena, this chicken is for you. I don't really eat chicken, so I will give it to you"

"Thank you, Ate Rina!"

"You want to be a chef Anna?" I asked and she nodded

"Here" I gave Anna the chicken and said

"Eat well our future chef and businesswoman!"

"Thank you, Ate Rina and Ate Sol!"

They went back to the table to eat while Rina smiled and gave me a thumbs-up as an approval. We were finished eating now it's time to say goodbye, but I interfered and said.

"We are not finished"

"Why?" The 4 of them asked

"I will give something for the kids, this Christmas party was special for me. I never experienced this kind of joy this Christmas, it was simple but memorable. This party will always be in my heart and I enjoyed being with you kids. I want to give these gifts as gratitude for giving me a memory that will stay in my heart, forever." I said then opened the box, inside were old toys that were given to me that were never used. I was not even happy when I received these, but to them it made their hearts melt and smile shine. Christmas is not about expensive presents and extravagant parties, it's all about putting yourself in a place where you feel loved, where people surround you with joy and make you feel at home in a world full of misery. I'm really thankful for Rina, without her. I wouldn't experience this kind of happiness.

RINA POV

"I didn't know you can be this kind, Bear" I approached Sol, she learned and grew a lot. I hugged her but she looks like she wouldn't say boo to a goose as she smiles at me, it's good that I let her be in this kind of environment to explore something new. We ran out of gifts but we have 2 more kids that are left. It's Elena and Anna, I asked Sol

"Do you still have a present, Sol?"

"Well, we have none" Sol disappointingly said

"Never mind" I removed my moonlight necklace and gave it to Elena, meanwhile Sol saw me giving Elena a necklace and she also gave Anna her sun necklace.

"Good luck our businesswoman and chef!" We both smiled, and they showed us a big smile on their faces, then we gave our closing remarks and left, I'm wishing them a bright future especially for Anna and Elena. But we still had a party at the hotel, it was our own exchange gifts.
