I am happy for Antonia. She’s feeling in love and in heaven. Her future looks like roses, and she’s considering buying a Ford Bronco.
The promise of good fortune started when she signed up for the Ever Match app. She instantly found a match. Sixty-year-old widower with no children, an engineer working for a multi-national company based in Asia, and who’s hometown is London.
Their online romance started three months ago and has progressed to calling each other Honey and saying :I love You: several times a day. The guy is thinking of the possibility of marriage and bringing her to places around the world but first destination within this year would be London.
The guy is arriving on Thursday and is sending his newfound love $1,000 tomorrow.
Our former labandera whom I fired, is now living like a queen in an apartment paid for by her new foreigner husband, introduced to her by Antonia. The guy has informally adopted Rona’s 3 children, spending for their education and sustenance.
Our house cleaner, L, is envious of Rona’s and Antonia’s good luck and love life however, she doesn’t speak English which is a requirement for better communication with foreigners.
I am still wary of the sweetness of their stories. When it’s too sweet to be true, it could be full of ants. Sundan ang susunod na kabanata.
