Joe bid goodbye to his family and left the island along with cupid. The flight was about to take off and there was guiding air hostess instructing things. After a few minutes, they were flying in the air.
Joe took a look from the window where everything under the sky looked tiny.
He then turned his head towards cupid, "Hey cupid, will move to a new place and will find and explore everything together and let's find our love", cupid wiggled his tail. Joe hugged cupid for a moment and then released cupid from his warm hug.
A tear rolled from Joe's eyes.
After a while, he remembered sometime and searched in his pockets.
In one pocket he found them-I'd of Sara in one and the ring which he bought to propose Sara.
He was shocked for a moment. Joe in his mind," what a blunder I had something with me which I could have used to find Sara but unfortunately I forgot, what kind of i***t am I?".
Then suddenly a memory flashed where he viewed cupid's photo in the signal-book and cursed himself for not doing any background check.
"I'm a big loser, everything was in my hand yet I failed to find Sara. will I ever get a chance to find my Sara", said by clenching his fists?
And then tucked the ring inside the collar belt of cupid and told cupid," you are my sunshine, you were the reason for our meeting with Sara, you are the lucky charm I hope I get other chance to meet Sara. So here u go I will hide and tuck the ring in your collar till we find my love Sara" and smiled at it.
Cupid was merrily wiggled his tail for whatever Joe told and licked his face.
After a few hours of tier some flight they reached their destination.
Welcome to Greece.
Mediterranean sea on one side, the Mediterranean cuisines, history, cultural heritage and the aroma of all the herbs flowers and olives.
It refreshed Joe's mind. He collected his belongings and took cupid along with him. He exits out of airport use a taxi to reach his destination.
As soon he reached the destination Joe phoned the new organization.
"Hello, I'm J.A.Smith"
and the receptionist answered, "Good afternoon, how can I help u, Sir"
"Due to some private business, I would like to join the organisation after a week or 10days"
Since he was highly reputed and the organization accepted his request.
Receptionist after 2mins answered him, "We would likely to meet u after a week, sir and will look forward to work with u sir. Thank you have a good day"
Disconnected the call.
Since it was 18hours journey and more than that cupid was tired due to jet lag.
So he calmed Cupid and thought to take a nap.
He woke up to the brightness of sun rays falling into his room window and cupid wiggling his tail next to him.
Warm day with more hope and hugged cupid.
Joe likes a long shower and it was Greece he couldn't deny less and soaked himself in the bathtub for almost an hour or so and was deep in his thoughts.
Suddenly he was shocked or his tiered eyes fooled him because when he was in a taxi he saw similar eyes and those eyes resembles Sara's. For a second he thought it was a dream and next second the lady was nowhere.
He got up from the bathtub and washed his soaped body put on the robe.
He never stopped to take care of cupid even during his busy schedules.
pulled out the dog food and poured it into the cupid's favourite bowl and went to the living area.
He opened his desktop and checked his phone. There were more than 20missed calls from his family and unread business emails.
He was cursing himself for oversleeping soundlessly.
He panicked and phoned his parents.
Worried Joe's parents, "Hey honey are u doing well, is there anything bothering you.
Should we come and check on you?".
Joe smilingly," Hey pops and moms I'm sorry for making u worry about me. It's just that I overslept and my tiredness due to long flight didn't wake me up when u called me. I'm sorry I will never forgive myself for this."
Mr and Mrs Smith laughed over their silly parenthood obsession."Ok, son, the mansion is almost ready and waiting for you just visit and check if u want to make any modifications and will love to do anything for you, honey."
"cool then mom and dad I will go once I'm done with some Lil work and keep you guys updated and I'll make sure to call u frequently"
"ok honey then we won't be disturbing you any further and will visit u often"
"Love you, honey, have a good day".
"Love you too guys, thank you and bye-bye"

He should wait to open his Signal book till he gets his new laptop or whatsoever.
He cursed himself again for his blunder move.
Cupid was jumping up and down and wiggled his tail pulled Joe near the entrance door.

Someone greeted him-"Hi Mr Joe I'm your assistant hired by Mr Smith"
Joe in surprise" please join and order anything you want to eat and drink"
"Don't be surprised ???, the secret is I'm your cousin and was your childhood best friend Noah Smith"
Joe stood up and gave a bear hug to his cousin.
They had their breakfast for an hour with their chitchats.
Went outside the hotel and wandered the city till they got tired and sat in one of the chairs in the garden.
Joe was caught off guard when he was holding something in his hand.
Noah noticed it and pulled it from Joe's hand tried to prank but he saw Joe's eyes turning red.
"I'm seriously sorry bro, it was not my intention to spoil your mood"
"it's ok Noah I'm just sorry, it is very precious to me and I.....I. almost lost it".
His voice was low and sad and his eyes became watery.
" Look, Joe, I would honestly help you only if you tell me what's going on."
