Waden is a Filipino and is a US citizen. He was born in the Philippines but migrated in US when he was 8 years old. He loves the Philippines much than US but got no choice because it is his family's choice to worked at US. His father is a US marine and his mother is a nurse.
Waden loves playing sepak takraw. He is even one of the champion during his 3rd grade when he was still in the Philippines. But his love for takraw ended when they moved to US. He now loves playing a hockey but never join a champ team. He just played whenever he wants to.
Waden took up culinary because he loves to cook especially filipino foods. One of his favorite is adobo and lumpia. Now he works at a five star michelin in New York but dreaming that someday he will have his own restaurant at his beloved country Philippines.
Waden is mostly hot-tempered well of course, he's at the kitchen all the time. But he has a heart of gold. He loves doing charity and helping the homeless. He also cooked and bring food for them. He is the 2nd of the 3 siblings and he grew up independent because his parents are usually not at home. They just had their eldest who take care of them and later on, he's the one who took care of their youngest who is now 15 years old.
The family during weekend would love to go picnic either in the forest, near the lake or ocean. He is a great guy always to his parents because he was good at school and he is obedient. Together with his siblings, they got along together that's why their parents were so proud of them.
When does he met Kane? It was during high school when Waden has a vacation in the Philippines. They met at the province where Kane resides. Kane was washing clothes at the river while Waden and his friends also filipinos and same a US citizens. His friends bullied Kane. They said that they presumed Kane was already married because of her situation. But Waden defender her and said that it is the life of the Filipinos. That they must respect her.
Kane was grateful that he found a knight and shining armor but she had in his mind, that they are the same blood who bullied her. They must be one in blood and that Waden just pretending. But Waden is persistent to win her trust. Waden would go to her house and bring some US delicacies. Until such time that Kane see his politeness and real intention, so they became friends.
Waden would go back and forth from US because of his friendship with Kane. It was everytime on vacation. The two would usually hang out at the river where they first met together with Kane's siblings. They usually had fun swimming in the river from morning till afternoon. They just bring foods and beverages just to enjoy the moment. Waden also became friends with Kane's siblings and parents.
Waden even made a proposal that he would bring Kane to the US but Kane of course will not leave the Philippines and plus her parents whom she loves so much. Some people say that it was heaven and earth friendship but they don't mind because they do nothing wrong.
Waden was also loved by Kane's parents, that everytime he goes to their house, they would cook a f''g. At first he felt disgusted, but knowing it was Kane's favorite, he certainly loves it now. Waden even learn how to catch it together with Kane's siblings and even learn how to cook it. For Waden, it was the best experience he had as a teen and could not wait to go back to that feeling. He was very thankful to Kane's family for forever.
But since he go to college, he was never got a chance to go back to that place because of a busy life. Even though he is apart, his communication with them is still constant. Until such time that the two fell for each other. Kane's family also knew it and they supported them. Most also the parents of Waden who so good at Kane. They even make Kane one of their scholar on their foundation but they never Kane as anybody else. Especially when they see her so good for their son Waden.
It was years of courting until Kane finally said yes. Kane was hesitant at first because Waden's family might think that she is an opportunist but Waden's fam never let her felt that way. They were college sweethearts. Though distant, their love for each other knows no boundary. They would just communicate most of the time. Waden also would come visit her when he's free or on vacation. Waden now is a full time chef and so his time is so drastic. Fortunately Kane was also busy especially when she enter the police organization.
Last time Waden had a vacation, he stayed at Kane's house but they were not allowed of course to slept together. Waden respected Kane so much. Aside from being a bestfriend, he is a good christian too following the rules on courtship to marriage. At the time Waden ask Kane's approval, he already explained to Kane that what he really wanted is not just courtship but a marriage. But Kane insisted not to get married yet because she has still to help her family. And so Waden just understood.
They were together for how many years and yet Waden didn't asked for anything from Kane but of course he would like to tease her. But Kane is also persistent to not give in until marriage. For them marriage is sacred and so must be respected. The two also learn to read a bible together because it is Waden's parents wanted for them to know Christ first before they would reach marriage. Because there is so much for them to learn.
