The pen on top the writer's table by the window has called on him again.
"Called on me?"
He smiled to himself while deep inside relishing his friendly relationship with his pen.
"Back to work "
He could imagine those words from his friend The pen.
It was afternoon. A beautiful day. The sun hasn't set itself yet, but soon it would be completely. So the writer grabbed the pen and paper to continue Jeremiah's story.
Peter adopted Jeremiah as his father. Though he was put in their Home for the Aged as instructed by his father, Jesus, they have treated each other like father and son.
To Peter, Jeremiah has the characteristics similar to the father he lost. While Jeremiah found a family in him, especially when he met Peter's widowed grandmother.
Living in The Home for the Aged, Jeremiah has recovered himself. His new encounters with good people has helped him a lot in personal growth and learning. The most that has helped him was Peter's grandmother.
"Congratulations!"
The writer remembered the last time he imagined Jeremiah in his vision for writing the continuation of his story.
"Thank you."
Jeremiah has been responding and shaking hands with all the invited guest to his wedding. He finally got married again. This time with Peter's grandmother.
Before that, he saw Jeremiah in the cemetery. He was in front of the tombs of his mother, wife and son.
This time he was not crying anymore but happily giving them his good news.
The writer tried to go back what had exactly happened to them.
Jeremiah was an only son. He grew up from a rich family. His father died of heart attack after he got married in his late twenties. Though Jeremiah wasn't ready to take over the family business, he was able to handle it with his mother's help.
The family business was doing good, until Jeremiah got himself hooked to gambling five years before he reached his fifties.
His mother, wife and son decided to leave him and go to live abroad where the relatives of his mother lives. Unfortunately, they all died in the plane crash. Since then, Jeremiah could not forgive himself until he lost everything and found himself a street beggar till he met Jesus after more than ten years.
"Mother, I have a good news. I'll marry again."
The writer heard him saying so as he walked passed behind him. Then let him alone with his loved ones.
In his last vision of Jeremiah for his story, he was so happy. It was his wedding day.
But then, at the present moment he found him in his story, he was in his coffin. Judging on his facial expression, he was happy. He sensed a smile in his lips. Then the little notebook, which turned out to be a diary, was held by him closed to his heart.
He asked the administrator of the Home for the Aged for permission to read it. In its cover says, Someone Special.
The administrator, the lady featured in his story The Backpackers, came to stand beside him.
"My dear Jeremiah. You could not stand the death of your wife due to her cancer that you yourself suffered the heart attack. But look! You seemed happy!
What a beautiful life you had with her and her as the nanny of this diary author.
Rest in peace, grandpa. "
The writer turned to her, but she was already gone before he could ask for more about Jeremiah.
So he looked finally at Jeremiah.
"There we end your story, Jeremiah. Rest with God."
Then the writer closed The Writer Series 8. Believed.
