Chapter 19: Homecoming

(2 weeks later)

After putting his crazed stalker Isabel in a mental institute, Cardo's relationship with Becky is still going strong as well as their championship reign. Becky defeated Naomi in a hard fought match and while Cardo got an RKO it wasn't enough for his cousin's mentor to win the championship as Cardo made Randy Orton submit to the Probinsyano Escape.

The two were in their locker room resting.

Cardo: Alex was right, his mentor is a tough opponent

Becky: Naomi put up a great fight

Cardo: but we still have our championships, babe

Becky: yeah...

She laid her head on Cardo's shoulder and Ang Probinsyano kissed her.

Becky: what do you want to do now? We have the rest of the week off

Cardo: don't you mean the rest of the month off

Becky: huh?

Cardo: I talked to Shane and he approved of my request to have the rest of the month off since it's almost Christmas

Becky: so I'm gonna spend Christmas with you?

Cardo: that's right babe

Becky hugged Cardo tightly.

Becky: so how are we gonna celebrate?

Cardo: I was thinking of going home to Botolan and spend it with my family and you

Becky then had a nervous look on her face.

Becky: you want me to meet your parents?

Cardo: yeah, why not?

Becky: I'm just a bit nervous of meeting them

Cardo grinned and hugged Becky.

Cardo: I told them all about you remember? They approved of our relationship

Becky: yeah, they haven't met me face to face

Cardo: don't worry, they'll like you

Becky sighed in relief.

Becky: okay, I can't wait to meet your parents and honestly this is my first time going to the Philippines

Then there was a knock on the door; Cardo opened it and it was Alex and Lexi.

Cardo: hey couz, hey Lexi

Alex: did you two discuss your Christmas plans?

Becky: wait, you two got the rest of the month off too?

Lexi: yeah, Shane allowed it

Alex: we have a generous boss, don't we?

They all nodded.

Lexi: so Cardo, Becky how will you two celebrate Christmas?

Cardo: I plan to take Becky to visit Botolan and meet my parents

Alex: ohh, meet the parents for Becky

Becky: I'm a bit nervous and excited

Alex: don't worry Becky, Tita Camia and Tito Manuel are nice people

Cardo: how about you, couz?

Alex: well Lexi and I talked about it

Lexi: and we decided to spend Christmas with both of our families

Cardo: wait, how will you do that, couz? Tito Tomas and Tita Maria are in Manila

Alex: I know, that's why I called them to come to the states and celebrate Christmas with Lexi's family

Cardo: that sounds good, say hi to them for me

Alex: will do

Lexi: we'll leave you two alone now because we have to pack for our trip to Columbus

Alex: see you guys next month

Cardo: see you couz!

Becky: I'll miss you Lexi!

Lexi: miss you too, bestie

Alex and Lexi left the locker room.

Cardo: well babe, let's go to the hotel and pack up

Becky: okay!

They left their locker room after they washed up and went back to their hotel room. Becky was looking through her wardrobe while Cardo was booking plane tickets. 

Becky: hey babe?

Cardo: yeah babe?

Becky: are you sure you really want me to meet your parents?

Cardo went to Becky and cupped her cheeks.

Cardo: I want to show my parents that I have a sweet, caring and PUNNY girlfriend

Becky giggled and playfully punched Cardo.

Becky: I only make the puns around here

Cardo: I might steal your title as the master of puns

Becky: I like to see you try babe

They made out for a while and later went back to packing.

(15 minutes later)

Their bags were already packed and the two sat down and watched a movie.

Becky: did you booked our flights?

Cardo: yeah already. We leave tomorrow

Becky: I'm so excited

Cardo: me too, I'm going home

The two finished the movie and they went to bed and cuddled in each other's arm.

(The next day)

Cardo woke up to her Irish beauty hugging him tightly. He nudged her to wake up.

Cardo: Becky? Babe, we have to get up

Becky: five more minutes, Cardo

Cardo: we have to leave today

Becky: give me five minutes

Cardo had a smirk on his face.

Cardo: I know how wake you up

He attacked Becky's neck with his lips as he kissed all around which made the Irish Lasskicker giggle and squirm.

Becky: baby, that tickles!

Cardo: get up or I'll continue

Becky: okay, I'll get ready

Cardo: and I almost marked you

Becky: almost

The two ate breakfast and showered. After that, they changed into their casual clothes.

Becky: what time is our flight?

Cardo: uhh, 10:00 a.m.

Becky looked at her watch and the time read 9:00.

Becky: we better go now! It's 9:00

Cardo: then let's go!

They rushed out of their hotel room and rode to the airport. After getting through airport security they managed to make it to the gate just in time.

Cardo: we made it!

Becky: we're running like we're in Home Alone

Cardo: except we didn't leave a kid behind

They boarded their plane and prepared for the 14 hour direct flight from the US to Manila, Philippines.

(14 hours later)

Their plane touched down in Manila and the time was already 12 midnight and Cardo and Becky were feeling jet lagged, so they booked a hotel room for the night to rest.

Becky: so tired...

Cardo: we'll go to Botolan in the morning

Becky: okay, good night baby

Cardo: good night babe

The two fell asleep.

(The next day)

Cardo and Becky woke up feeling fresh, but a little jet lagged. They took a shower and ate breakfast. After that, they went outside of the hotel as they were going to Botolan.

Becky: so do I call a cab?

Cardo: here in the Philippines, this is our cab

Cardo pointed at a jeepney.

Becky: what is that?

Cardo: it's called a jeepney, it's one of the Philippines' icons

Becky: is it like a cab?

Cardo: yeah, but a jeepney can drive from city to city unlike a cab which can drive place to place

Becky: okay, so which one do we take?

Cardo: I have to look for a jeepney that can take us to Botolan

Cardo and Becky walked around and eventually found a jeepney that is going to Botolan.

Cardo: this is our ride

Becky: let's go!

They got in to the jeepney and to the surprise of them, the passengers know who they are.

Passenger: oh my god, it's Cardo Auditore and Becky Lynch

Even the jeepney driver was starstruck.

Driver: WWE Superstars riding my jeepney, I need to take a picture

Cardo: go ahead sir, no problem

Driver: this jeepney is going to Botolan

Becky: that's exactly where we're going

Driver: okay, off we go

(4 hours later)

Cardo and Becky finally made it to Botolan.

Becky: wow, this place looks wonderful

Cardo: I'm home

Cardo was greeted by his fellow townspeople and as WWE Superstars, they were both instantly recognized by fans asking for pictures and autographs. After their meet and greet, they walked around until Cardo spotted a familiar building.

Cardo: Becky, see that building?

Becky: yeah, what about it?

Cardo: it's my mother's restaurant

Becky gulped.

Cardo: come on

Becky: I don't think I can do it

Cardo: I'll be with you baby

He kissed Becky's lips which made her calm down.

Becky: okay, let's go

Cardo and Becky went into the restaurant and found Camia at the register.

Cardo: mom!

Camia: Cardo, what a surprise!

Cardo and Camia hugged each other.

Camia: what are you doing here?

Cardo: I got the rest of the month off, so I can spend Christmas with you and dad

Camia: that's great, son!

Then Camia turned to Becky.

Camia: Cardo, is that who I think it is?

Cardo: yes mom, this is Becky, my girlfriend

Becky: hi Mrs. Dalisay

Camia: you can call me Camia, anak. There's no need to be nervous, Cardo told us about you and he's right about having a funny and cute girlfriend

Becky blushed.

Cardo: where's dad?

Camia: he called earlier and said that he's needed for a surgery, but he'll meet us here for lunch

Cardo: great, can't wait

(1 hour later)

A man in a white coat walked into the restaurant.

Cardo: dad!

Manuel: son! What brings you here?

Cardo: I'll be spending Christmas with you and mom

Manuel: that's great news, son

Then Manuel turned to Becky.

Manuel: son, is this your girlfriend?

Cardo: yup, she is. Dad, this is Becky. And Becky, this is my dad, Dr. Manuel Dalisay, the town's best medical doctor

Becky: it's nice to meet you, doc

Manuel: I believe my wife Camia told you, but you don't need to call me doc, you can just call me Manuel or Manny.

Becky: okay Manny

Manuel: son, she's a keeper, don't let her go

Becky blushed again. Then Camia brought out a big bowl of arroz caldo.

Becky: oh this is my favorite

Camia: really?

Becky: yeah, Cardo introduced me to this delicious food

Cardo: babe, you'll love my mom's arroz caldo, all of Botolan loves it

Becky took a small bowl and filled it with the soup. She took a spoon full and her eyes widen.

Becky: this is way more delicious than that restaurant in the states

Camia: it's because mine is homemade

Cardo: you still got it, mom

Manuel: so Becky, it seems you're spending Christmas with us

Becky: yes I am, Manuel

Camia: my son really showed how much he cared for you

Cardo: that's why I love her, mom

Manuel: come on, let's go home and prepare for nochebuena

Becky: nochebuena?

Cardo: it's a feast that is celebrated on the night before Christmas

(8 hours later, 11:00 p.m.)

Manuel and Camia invited their neighbors which most of them are WWE fans and they were starstruck of seeing Becky and Cardo. While the neighbors were enjoying the feast, Cardo and Becky went inside the house to rest.

Becky: your parents are so kind

Cardo: that's how they are

Then Cardo looked up and saw a mistletoe.

Cardo: hey babe, look up

Becky looked up and saw that they were both under the mistletoe; she instantly blushed.

Cardo: come here, mahal ko

They leaned in for a passionate kiss.

Cardo: Merry Christmas, babe

Becky: Merry Christmas, I love you

Cardo: I love you too
