After Panchito and Jose's happy and romantic reunion, they went out to eat. This was also the perfect time to teach Panchito the many cultures of Bahia. Like their food. Jose, being the suave and romantic charmer he is, knew the chef well. She saw him and smiled.
"Ah mi amigo jose is back"
"Maria" he said suavely as he kissed her hand.
She blushed bright and smiled. Her curly black hair flowing, her brown eyes sparkled underneath the twilight sky, and had beautiful rosie cheeks. She giggled as panchito did the same.
"My you have a charming friend. Is he your boyfriend?" she asked as she helped them sit.
"YOu could say that senorita" said panchito as he winked to jose.
She laughed heartily.
"Well jose, since you got a boyfriend and are celebrating, dinner is Free on me"
"Oh maria are you sure querida?" asked jose a bit shocked.
"Of course i Am!" she said smiling.
Jose smiled and ordered many bahian staples like vatapa, cheese rolls, munguza, and Caruru. Panchito smiled when the food came. He eyed the caruru.
"What exactly is Caruru?" panchito asked curiously.
"Ah mi amor, caruru is made from okra, onion, shrimp, palm oil and toasted nuts. The vatapa is a brazilian shrimp curry with a peanut sauce. Munguza is also delicious. Munguza is a breakfast like dish made of coconut milk and other spices but hey! You can have breakfast whenever!" said jose laughing.
Panchito laughed too and the two them ate their wonderful reunion dinner. Afterwards, they went to a dance club. As a slow song played, they held each other close and swayed to the music.
"Jose?"
"Sim panchito?"
"I came to ask you...may i...have your hand in...matrimony?
JOses eyes widened.
"Look i know its sudden but we've loved each other far too long. We need to be together forever"
Panchito knelt down as joses eyes filled with tears and took his hand, pulling out and opening a heart shaped box with a silver band with saphire in it.
"JOse...will you marry me?"
The parrot started to cry and knocked him over in a big kiss, making the rooster laugh.
"My answer is yes panchito...my answer is yes"
