And so yesterday, me and husband headed off to Al Raha which is 31 km from the city via the public bus. We got down in the bus stop which was a little far from the area, so we took a taxi cab to get exactly to the restaurant. When we came in, I presented the voucher and the service attendant was very welcoming. She advised us about their best seller menus and drinks. We ordered Jones Wagyu Burger, Steak Sandwich with Olive Oil Fries, Spinach Apple Smoothies, Passion Fruit and Fresh Orange Drink (for dine in), and Salmon Sandwich (for take-out). We waited for 15 minutes only and our dinner was served. Our food was sumptuous. It's a different taste from our daily routine menu so we enjoyed that much (including my baby, because I can feel his soft little kicks and turns inside of me, as if saying, "I love the taste!").
But more than the delicious food we had, was the quality time we invested in our relationship. While we're having our dinner, my husband kept on talking and sharing about anything. He's such a conversant. This is part of him that nobody really knows, because he's a very silent person. I appreciate him much when he's telling stories.
After our dinner, we headed home. We waited for a taxi cab to bring us to the bus stop, but we couldn't find any. In a silent prayer, I asked God to provide us a ride. After a few minutes, two kabayans were coming on our spot. We asked them if there's any way to get to the bus stop, as there were no taxis around. They were kind enough to bring us to the short-cut way. This short-cut way needs a card to swipe so we can get out. They said, they used to have a card, but they will ask someone who has one. We walked through the mall and found this off-white gate.
Blessed enough, one guy was at the gate and he swiped his card. We passed through the beautiful private villas and managed to get out. We bid goodbye and thank you's. We came in the bus stop, and after few minutes, the bus arrived. If not for the two kabayas, we were not be able to get in perfectly on time, and, saved AED 8.00 for the taxi fare.
While on our way, my husband continued his story telling. He shared how he was able to finance his college fees through making and selling glass etching, paintings, framings, miniatures, and even joining contests in his craft. He shared how he became known because of his ballpen painting of Leonardo Dicaprio and sold it for Php 5000 16 years ago. And how he was able to get high grade on his thesis defense in Architecture. I fell in love with this man again!
We arrived home at half past nine in the evening.
With a delicious meal worth AED 1.00 only, the kabayans who assisted us to get to the bus stop, and an invested time as husband and wife, God knows exactly how to bless us!
All glory to God!
