Chapter 97: The Drone Show
“Are you sure you made this trip safe for Lucas?“ Shantelle asked, worried for their son to be out in public.
“James booked the entire resort,” Evan explained. “It’s a private island with very little staff. I instructed the manager that all
employees should wear masks. I had also asked that no one should be sick when serving us.”
With a shrug, Evan proposed, “Besides, the beach is good for the health – the fresh air, the sea breeze, and the natural saline.”
Weekend came. Evan decided to take his family out for a break. He figured Lucas could use the time out. His son was getting
extremely bored with staying indoors.
Evan booked a private yacht to bring them to an island outside of town, accommodating his and Shantelle’s parents, plus Miguel
and Lucas’ nurse. The entire resort, with twenty luxury guest villas, was closed only for their stay.
When they arrived at the resort, Shantelle was surprised to learn that Wendell and Sean were also present. They took their own
private yacht to the resort. Keith skipped the gathering because he caught whatever Karise had and was down with a flu.
They went swimming in the clear lagoon for the first half of the day on the island. They had a picnic on the shoreline covered with
palm trees at noon. Lucas had his favorite iron-rich food and a small piece of treat.
Shantelle gave Lucas a slice of chocolate cake, saying, “A little treat is enough. Focus on your veggies and meat to make you
big and strong!”
Lucas nodded, saying, “I understand, Mommy!” He turned to his father and said, ‘ Daddy, thank you for taking me out on a
beach! And for booking the entire island. You are the best dad.”
“Only your dad can do that,” Wendell remarked, winking at Lucas.
“If you want, your daddy can buy the entire Rose Hills,” Sean remarked.
Their party chuckled. William commented, “This is enough. It’s over the top, but it’s definitely what Lucas needs. Lucas can’t be
around crowded places. Open air environment is better for him too. And, as long as we, the surrounding adults, take
responsibility to ensure we don’t pass him any infection.”
“Yes, Doctor Scott,” Sean said, saluting William.
“I am a responsible uncle,” Wendell claimed.
“You are doing a good job, Evan,” William remarked. “Thank you for caring for my grandson and providing for his needs, both
financially and emotionally.”
Evan smiled across from William and said, “Thank you, Dad. Anything for my son.”
After being called Dad, William stilled. In fact, everyone fell silent. Shantelle, for one, pursed her lips, her eyes rounding at her
father. Sure, Erick and Clara had asked Shantelle to call them mother and father. However, William had not said anything the
same to Evan.
Evan was equally nervous about his claims. Soon, however, William scoffed and answered, “You are welcome, son.”
Everyone’s shoulders fell in relief, including Eleanor’s. She said to Evan,” You are indeed our son, Evan, and a great father to
Lucas.”
From that moment on, their picnic lunch gathering became cheerful as they enjoyed the delicious food the resort had prepared.
After the picnic lunch, everyone took a rest in their designated villas.
Tired after traveling and swimming in the morning, Lucas woke up past five in the afternoon. They went straight for an early
dinner with their entire party.
After dinner, Evan proposed, “The resort prepared a drone show for us.
Let’s go check it out.”
“A drone show?” Lucas asked.
“Yes, using more than six hundred drones, they are going to light up the skies,” Evan disclosed, i
“I wanna see! I wanna see!” Lucas excitedly said.
The drone show was just a short distance from the restaurant. There was a huge clearing that opened up to the beach, and it
was there where everybody waited for the main event.
Everyone found their places, circling the vast space where the six hundred drones were in place. Each of them was already
lighted. Lucas was highly amazed.
“I have never seen a drone show before,” Shantelle said. “I can’t imagine six hundred drones working together.”
Evan laughed as he settled his family right at the very front of the presentation. He said, “It’s pre-programmed. It’s not like every
drone is being manned.”
“Sound’s exciting, Daddy!” Lucas exclaimed.
Soon, with everyone watching the drones, the show began. By batch, the drones flew up in the night sky. 1
“Wow! It’s so cool!” Lucas commented, his eyes sparkling at the lights, taking shapes.
In the sky, the drones started forming boxes in different colors until they took the shape of a red rose. Next, an image of a cupid
appeared, holding up an arrow.
Evan stared down at Shantelle as she marveled at the colorful sky. Her mouth parted in surprise, seeing how the drones were so
synchronized. Shantelle said, “Amazing. I did not know this was possible!”
From another side of the beach, Erick and Clara were also astounded. They took videos of how the show went on. William and
Eleanor were doing the same.
The drones made an arrow, and the cupid thrust it into the air. The arrow appeared to have hit a man’s chest, leaving everyone
chuckling. A frame of a man became evident. The drones then made hearts around the man.
“So this is a story about a man in love,” Shantelle described. One could make out two love birds formed, pecking with their
beaks, and hearts erupted after their kiss. Shantelle commented, “I don’t know if this show is supposed to be for kids, Evan.”
“I – Um.” Evan answered, “I thought it was cute.”
“It’s cute, Mommy! It’s cute!” Lucas claimed. He was smiling from ear to ear.
At that point, Shantelle also took a video of the drone presentation. She was absolutely impressed that she intended to show it to
her colleagues. After the pecking birds, a spiral image could be seen. More and more hearts formed in the sky.
“I guess you could say, whoever this man is, he must be very in love,” Evan stated out of nowhere.
The drones made a diamond next, which appeared to sparkle in the night. Shantelle then noticed how it took the shape of a ring.
Her mouth fell open, and her heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, she connected the dots and wondered, ‘Could Evan be?’
Then, she saw how the ring rotated in the sky and moved to a woman’s finger. Fireworks suddenly erupted, but not the real kind.
It was still the drones, simulating fireworks in the sky.
Suddenly, the drones formed words, saying: [I want nothing more than to be that man for you. I missed my first chance, but this
time I am ready to give you my world. My dearest Shanty, will you marry me?] 2
Reading the words, Shantelle dropped her phone. Her skin quickly formed goosebumps. She was utterly surprised.
From afar, Wendell and Sean were clapping their hands, praising Evan for a well-prepared proposal. It was the same with Miguel
and the nurse.
“Mommy, you’ll marry, Daddy?” Lucas asked. Finally, Shantelle’s senses returned to her.
She looked behind her and saw Evan holding a bouquet of roses. He was down on one knee, saying, “Shanty, I love you and
Lucas more than anything in this world. Will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me again?”
Shantelle’s mouth was still open. She knew it was always in Evan’s plan to marry her, but she earnestly thought the trip to the
beach was only for Lucas. She never expected the proposal, and it was such a lovely one at that.
She glanced at her parents, and they gave her a nod. She turned to the Thompsons and saw the hopeful eyes of Erick and
Clara. She peered down at her son; Lucas was the happiest person around her.
Returning her attention to Evan, she saw the man holding up the same sapphire ring that he had attempted to give her during
their Paris date.
Evan was Evan, but she did not know why; he looked like a god before her eyes that night. He was simply in casual clothes, as
they were on the beach, but he looked so handsome. His presence, his stance, and the way he looked at her with love tickled
her heart.
Still down on one knee, Evan said, “I promise I’ll take care of you and Lucas, and the family we are about to make.”
“Marry me, Shanty,“ Evan added.
