Captive Heart

Two years after the death of Cesar Montenegro, his ever-loving wife Eliza suffered lung infection, which leads to pneumonia and claimed her life. It was years and the newer brood of the Montenegro came to capture the hearts of many. Life is never to be the same without their grandparents but the legacy continues. The oldest son of Nathaniel and Sarah which is Drake finished business related course in L.A. The youngest daugther Shannon is in Milan to studies Fine Arts with the influence of her mother with regards to painting. Sarah happily hugged and kissed her son Drake after Nathaniel opened the Land Cruiser since he's the one who fetch Drake at the airport. "How are you?" ask Sarah whie holding her son's face in her hands. She really adored him. He looks exactly the same as Nathaniel when they first met. "I'm fine, mom" he smiled as he wipe her tears with his thumb. "Don't worry, mom, i'm already here and staying for good," he added. "No, i'm just so happy, my very handsome son" Sarah says and again kissed her son while their going to the living room. Drake look at his dad cause he's grinning. Dad knows mom's reaction upon seeing me. "Capt," saying Drake while he salute to his dad happily while he nods. "How was Fredrick and Donny?" Sarah ask. They are his cousins in L.A. "They're fine, mom. Actually, Uncle Walter just came to visit us there cause his flying to New York." "Yeah, I've heard about that. That's good." "Ma'am, lunch is ready," the housekeeper said. "Gladly, I miss the food here," Drake said while smiling. "The food are special for today for you, son." "Thanks, mom." Since my father inherited the Montenegro Shipping Lines, it become successful. After so many years, my father add the passenger vessel from cargo vessel only before. Before I go to L.A. my father promise to me that he will venture it to land transportation business. After my studies he will gave it to me as a present. And once I run it smoothly, he will gave it to me permanently. Now that I am back, I can't wait for my dads promise. I will now manage the Montenegro Liners with route from Cotobato City to Davao City and vice versa. I know how to live independently so that is not a problem anymore. His main concern is to show the world that he is not an exception to the giants of the industry like his grandfather Cezar Montenegro and the rest of the Montenegro who made their own marks. My difference to my father is that I am a vey jolly person. At the age of twenty-five there are a lot of women in and out of my life but nothing serious so far. I gladly say yes to my mom to stay for two weeks at home before I go to the province for work. "Are you sure you want to manage the business here? Maybe after sometime you are bored and decided to go back in US?" "No, capt. i know how to agree to promises, your my idol." Nathaniel smiled to his son and tap his shoulder. They are watching the waves from one of their passenger vessel. We heard Drake's phone sound. "You have a call?" Ask Nathaniel. Drake's get his cellphone to check and there was a text message flash on the screen. "Who texted me? I don't have any contacts as of now since I just bought my cellphone recently. smirking I unlocked the cellphone. "Who knows, maybe someone you know." Joke by Nathaniel. When he open the inbox I can't stop but laugh. "Why?" Ask Nathaniel. "Nothing, just a texter who cannot do anything?" He just ignore the message but he did not delete it. Nathaniel only shrug since he also received some prank text messages. And we arrived at Polloc Port.
