CHAPTER NINETEEN

"God has made Everything Beautiful in its Time"

After the wedding, Juliana and I were being fetched up by a helicopter driven by Nadine.

"This is my gift love birds," she said with a wink.

Our destination- Cabo San Lucas in Mexico, where we will spend our first weeks together as one.

"May I have this dance, Mrs. Juliana Antonette Escalante- Villarta?"

"Sure," she said as she held my hand and literally drags me on the beach. That night, we dance together on the tune of the song that I compose for her, "My Sunshine Superstar." Under the moonlight, our lingering feelings draw our own clouds.

"If we will be given a second chance to rewrite everything that happens, I'll still find you and love you," she said as she hugs me so tight and crushes her head on my chest.

That time, we are hugging and dancing at the same time.

I kiss her forehead and whisper, "So am I."

That night, everything is so perfect as if it is really God writing our story. And God is right- the waiting itself makes it special because our union is the first of each other.

We started our first night reading the bible and praying together.

"Nathan, I will always love you. Please take care of me," she said as she kisses me on the lips and for the very first time, we made love.

As I write on my journal that day, I still keep on remembering the feeling, ". . . That day, as I established my first frontier, in front of the people dear to me, and while riding on the cruise ship of my dream, my best friend, my girlfriend, my woman, and now my wife, and I, became one. While hugging and dancing at the same time, we cherish each other, and as I do promise, our unison sealed my vow to love her and care for her, as long as we both shall live, as if death will forever part. . ."

"Hey," Juliana said as she taps my shoulder and hugs me from my back. "Shall we sleep more?" she said again as she rest her head on my shoulder.

I smile at her as I caressed her hand. "Good night Darling."

As I said those, we both go back to sleep while lying side-by-side and embracing each other, cherishing the time on that very special night.

Our one week honeymoon is one of the happiest moments of our lives. Juliana and I made sure that we will do things a normal couple do. We enjoy sightseeing on the beach, do scuba diving, snorkeling, banana boat riding, surfing, community dancing, singing and doing devotions together, and by the time that we are now ready to go back to North Carolina, we both promise each other that we will return here.

Before we leave the place, we made sure to still write our love on the sand together, so that when people see it, they will also be inspired to that kind of love that we had.

Nathan,

You are one of the greatest gifts God had ever made. I love you always and forever.

-Juliana <3

Julz

The first time I saw you, I already knew, God gave me you. My forever . . .
