Three years after the chaotic abduction of Kate, life had been peaceful for the Roxin family no other life threatening problems had shaken their family, more friends had been added to Prince unusual circle of friends like Axol the faun, a half goat with human head but in the eyes of humans he is a chatismatic and goodlooking but mysterious young man , a new transferee from other school ,
Sometimes Prince still take Lula for a group date but he never courted her formally just a pure fun bonding with friends , until Prince graduated in his Business Management course everything seems in proper order for him because he had been helping his dad running the business since he was young so he had been familiar with the in and out of their business which actually had opened two more branches in other states of America since he joined. He had been close to his paternal grandparents because they usually spend holidays and special occasion with them aside from the fact that their business belong to his grandfather that give them livelihood and supported their family needs, as what they call was their bread and butter..
He was consider as the lucky charm of their company, because whenever Prince was around their business was full with customer, he is a customer charmer by nature so their business was always at the top, you may call it selfishness but Joseph called it a business strategy, that's why Joseph oblige his son to be at the store always .
" I'm so glad that you can finally help your dad with the business, now you are one my most trusted businessman as well", his grandpa said.
" Thanks for the trust grandpa, I hope I can reach yiur expectation of me", Prince gladly replied.
" Of course, there's no one I can trust more than you and your papa !", his grandpa assured him.
" Thanks dad! I can actually entrust him with the running of our business! my boy is so smart and he perfectly learned the process of running our business !", Joseph proudly bout for his son.
" So what the fuss? in the right time it will eventually become his own business, who will take over this business when me and your mom gone? it will surely be handed down to you and it will automatically be left on your children if you are gone too!", his grandpa told his father.
" Grandpa! that's a morbid thing to think about! you and granny were still young! the same with papa! Why talk of such a thing now?" , Prince reprimanded his grandpa in horror.
"Prince it's just a word and that is right! no one will stay forever in this world, time will come death will separate us all!", Joseph told his son.
" It's too early to talk about that papa and I don't like to entertain such thought", Prince quipped.
" That's right! but I'm glad! you can now take sometime time off, and have vacations to places you hadn't been before now that Prince can formally take over!" , his grandpa suggested to his father..
" Yes dad! I'm already have plans , but of course I want to bring my son along!", Joseph said.
"" Anyway my grandson is mature businessman now, you can entrust to him our business, right Prince?", his grandpa ask.
" Of course grandpa, mama and papa can go wherever they want so they can relax and have a good time with Kate and Maggy! I am familiar with the business now papa! but you're too young for retirement ", Prince agreed .
" Just a month of vacation just to freshen up your spirit a little bit so you can rest, you had been working since you came here in Nevada, a tiring routine for you and your family", his grandpa said.
" I will talk to Karen about it, don't worry we will surely enjoy any adventure we'll take with your sisters!", Joseph told him. That is just a word but actually they had been long prepared plan for a vacation in France as family included Prince.
Of course Karen and the two girls were elated when Joseph mention about the planned vacation in France for the holiday ,
" How abou Prince papa? is he coming?" , Kate asked.
" He will of course ! it will be a two weeks off from work and I want that all of us will come together as family, no one will be left behind for this holiday ", Joseph said, as parents it is not easy for him to leave behind his first born while they are laughing and having fun in other country. He will surely feel
bothered by his conscience, he will not totally enjoy the holiday without his only son.
" Papa I told you it's okay if you go along without me! I will be left to take care of the business, one of us need to look after it specially that christmas time is near approaching. That is the busiest time of our business!", Prince encourage his father.
" I think you're right! but I won't be enjoying without you in that vacation", Joseph said.
" Papa, I'm grown up now! I'm no longer the young boy that always follow you and mama around!", Prince reason out.
" I'm sure your mother will not be thrilled of the idea of you staying around!", Joseph said.
" I am an adult that wanted to be treated as an adult papa, don't you trust me at all when I say I am capable of managing our business?", Prince taunt his father.
" Of course I trust you ! where do you got that idea that I don't trust you? I just don't like the idea of you left behind while we're enjoying our vacation, while you are left here to work ", Joseph explained.
" Papa, it is okey for me if you go with mama and my sisters on vacation, anyway I want a vacation myself after you arrive!", Prince replied.
" Hmmnn! okay! now I get it! I guess my son is really a big boy now, not just literally but mentally as well", Joseph said smiling.
" Thanks papa, I'll take that as a big compliment from you !", Prince said with a grin.
Just like what Joseph thought a lot of explanation and valid reason had to be defended when he told his wife that their son will be left for the expected vacation.
" What? no! no! no! I will not let our son to be left behind while we are enjoying our vacation in France", Karen argue.
" Honey our son is no longer a child, he has his own decision! and since his childhood no one can sweet talk with him when he is set to do something", Joseph explained.
" But..... I can 't bear the thought that while enjoying the scenery and our vacation he is left here to work !", Karen said.
" As father I feel the same, but he is the one who decided to stay and I think he got the point, our vacation will fall on christmas time which is the busiest month of the year , someone should be left to manage the business ,we can't just entrust it to our trusted employee because when there are things that had to be decided immediately, he should be here and it's time that we allow him to run the business by himself", Joseph long explaination to pacify his wife.
" Okay if you think that is the right thing to do then I trust you ! I just don't want him to feel that we neglected him by leaving him behind by himself", Karen gave in. So when the couple with their two daughters left for their vacation in France it was Prince that drive them to the airport.
" Are you sure you can take care of yourself?", Karen ask .
" Mama! I 'm a big boy now! don't treat me as a mama's boy! that's gross!", Prince complained which make his father laugh.
" You see! I told you!", he told his wife.
" Okay! then just take care of yourself and always drive safely", Karen reminded her son.
" Yup mama, you enjoy your vacation !", as Prince wave goodbye to his family. For almost everyday his family send Prince pictures or video of their tour in France. Just like when they visited the eiffel tower, they had send video while Kate was taking pictures of the tower, the same when they visited Paris and the palace of versailles.
" Did you see this delicious foods Prince? we are now in Paris and they have many fine cuisines and gourmet that we love to eat!", Kate said while taking a bite of the delicious foods served infront of them.
" Wow that's mouth watering! but it's okay guys enjoy your vacation," Prince said.
" It's so tiring in following Maggy, because she always wanted to climb the stairs or go down the stairs or just running around when in a flat spaces, she's so energetic! not so easy to cope up with her energy ", Kate complain of her sister.
" Ha , ha, ha, you're still too young to complain that way, she reminded me of yourself when you are younger!" Prince told his sister.
." Not so much! but mama said she is more like you when you are younger!", Kate told him.
" I remember you to be like that too and very talkative and nosy as well when you were her age!", Prince said.
" Okay! then by that we are really siblings because we have similar antics as childrens", Kate agreed.
" You are still a baby, an older baby than Maggy!", Prince said.
" Anyway they were both a cute memory of you both as children don't worry kids, your naughtiness as kids are things papa and I miss!", Karen cut in their argument.
Both Karen and Joseph are smiling because even the long distance hadn't stop their children to argue , they always banter even over petty things . Their always like that even at home, but nothing can change the fact that as brother and sister their love and care for each other cannot be denied. When something happened to Kate just like when she was abducted , Prince did not sleep in looking for his sister, he did not waste time til he found his sister's location.
As parents Joseph and Karen wants the best for their children, for all three of them. They might have a big gap in their ages but they thought of it as the right age for each of them, so that they can take care of each of them properly and they were given right nurturing as a child before the next one came .
" I'm so tired! this vacation really fit this two, because they have more energy and enthusiasms to discover new things and places", Karen told her husband while watching their two childrens who are heavily sleeping because of tiredness on their trips.
" They might be tired also because of the distance and imagine how excited they are to travel by train and by having to pass the subway", Joseph said.
" Tomorrow we'll travel by autobus, so they will experience how it was ", Karen suggested.
" Yup! let's do that!", Joseph agreed.
Kate as always kept her brother updated about their adventure for the day ,even the noise of the train was captured. While Maggy was sleeping the whole time they are travelling by train ,the noise had no effect on her. Mikra hotel and beach resort is also a good adventure for the two girls. They're not sure if five years old Maggy is already being able to appreciate good places to be with but one thing is sure she enjoy the company of her parents and sister for ten executive days
Karen and Joseph were laughing at the way Kate share the places they had gone with her brother. She's like a professional vlogger that share their every adventures ,the restaurant they had been, the hotel ,beach resorts, historical places and events, even when they had gone shopping to look for items they can bring for her brother, she took video and let him choose which he likes.
" I love it when they get along so well, there is no wordwar,no confrontations and no
teasing and nobody is piss off only a family matter that shares the excitement, we should do this again!", Karen said happily.
