CHAPTER 7 - EPILOGUE

Chandler wanted to tell the news personally, on Friday morning he had asked Monica if she could go to the girls' apartment that afternoon.

When he arrived from the airport everyone was gathered in the room.

I repeat, I am not the owner of the characters, I only rely on them for the sheer pleasure of practice writing stories without any economic interest, and these two characters inspire me.

"Because you wanted us all together…" Phoebe asked.

"The company informed me that the transfer to Tulsa is permanent and comes with a promotion to vice president, and there was no option, it was yes or yes."

Everyone looked at him with surprise and concern, Chandler was moving to Tulsa forever….

"So I quit" … Chandler finished the sentence with a huge smile.

"They didn't give me a choice, since I wasn't married... I told them that I had to return because I have a girlfriend and a family here, but the order was firm, and since I wasn't planning to stay in Tulsa, I went to my desk and wrote out the resignation, I stayed until today when the pass ended and I returned permanently"

"What are you going to do now? Ross asked, with a worried face, always so attached to the security of a stable job.

"I have no idea …."

"Well, I would like a creative job, although I am writing it takes a lot of time and talent for it to become a profession and an economic outlet, so I was thinking about trying to find something in advertising"

"Do you know anyone in that area…." Rachel asked,

"Not to anyone…but for the first time in my life I'm thinking about asking my mother for advice and help…"

"Wow, Chandler, that's a big step forward towards maturity, it was time you asked them for help, they've always offered it to you and you always refused it…" said Phoebe

"Now, whatever we want to do with Monica in our relationship, I need a stable income… I don't plan to live off my wife, so first I prefer to ask my mother and even my father for help, they owe it to me."

Monica was very proud of her boyfriend.

A week later Chandler called Nora, he had already told her about Monica, which had made him happy, Nora was peaceful, finally her son was happy and in love with a girl, she just needed to meet her.

Chandler told her about his resignation, the reasons, and the expectations of getting a creative job.

"The first thing that comes to mind, and what would be the easiest for me to get, would be for you to work at the publishing house."

"But that's not creative, I'll be in an office with the systems and the numbers again…" Chandler reflected.

"Not necessarily, you can be on the selection teams and learn, and you will also have an idea of what the publishers are looking for."

"And you would continue writing with a vision of what the public is looking for," Nora advised.

"And you don't know anyone on a writing team, that might also interest me," Chandler asked.

"Not me, son, but maybe my editor does know, many of the books end up on the writers' table to make a movie or series out of them, I think that would be interesting for you, it would be creative work and you would have income "Let me talk to her."

"Call your father too, surely in Charles' universe he probably knows people."

"Yes I will, thank your mom, when you have any news, call me"

"Ok, anyway, in a couple of weeks I have a few days off and I'll come visit you and meet Monica."

"Mom, please…."

"Look, child, the mere fact that she has pushed you to write, to quit that horrible job and that you are destined to obtain a creative job, has transformed her into the best daughter-in-law a mother could have." Nora laughed out loud and said goodbye. to his son "see you soon"

Chandler also called his father, he still didn't know about his courtship and he was very happy, he was also happy that he had left that monotonous job, he knew that Chandler had nature for the creation "Son, I have several clients who are part of teams of scriptwriters, but they all work in LA, however I'm sure that some of them must have contact with people from the same market in NY, I'll find out."

Chandler, even without a job, lived almost all the time at Monica's house, and although he missed his friends since he didn't see them every day like before, he was happy with the coexistence

When Nora arrived in the City she met Monica and Ross, she had known his other friends for a long time and she loved them because they had given his son support and company, she would never forget that.

She got along well with Monica immediately, she liked that she was an enterprising, feisty woman with character. She knew how to support Chandler and also noted that he knew how to calm her anxieties, they would be a good couple.

Almost a month passed and Chandler was still out of work, until one afternoon his father called him. He had gotten a contact, through a friend in the industry, so that Chandler could have an interview with a team of scriptwriters who worked in NY and who they were looking for people because they were in pre-production for a sitcom.

The next day Chandler called the contact, and they arranged an interview for a couple of days later. During this free time, Chandler had written several script proposals, and decided to take them to see what his potential was.

He went through several interviews, even met some of the scriptwriters, and finally they hired him to join the scriptwriting team for a series that for now would be called "six of one"" or "frinds like us", their not decided.

Chandler was happy, the pay was not like in the company, but it was enough to cover the expenses of his apartment, to help Joey, and also to share household expenses with Monica. And the most important thing was not to touch his savings, since he had plans for that money.

Chandler performed very well at work, making contributions that everyone valued because they were excellent. He also continued writing his book during Monica's nighttime hours.

When summer arrived he proposed to Monica to go to Aruba for eight days, at that time work at the restaurant was decreasing. Monica thought it was an excellent idea, arranging the restaurant so that the sous-chefs would remain in charge, but in truth she had been thinking about elevating the category of one of them to Head Chef and hiring a new sous-chef, she liked this idea, it would give her more freedom on the weekends, she would be in charge of the organization and design of the menus, but she would not have to be in the kitchen every night, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. The idea was to get more freedom at night to make plans with Chandler.

They flew to Aruba and went directly to the Hotel. The room was very cozy and went directly to the beach. Chandler had organized, for the night of the day after his arrival, a romantic dinner on the beach, with candles, music. When Monica saw the decoration of everything, she was enchanted.

When the desserts arrived, Chandler filled the two glasses of Champagne, they toasted and then he knelt down, to Monica's surprise, and taking out a small box from his pocket, he told her that he loved her, that he never thought he would be so happy in life, and from now on he just wanted to make her just as happy, and he asked the question, opening the box…. "¿Monica, will you marry me?"

Monica couldn't stop her tears from sliding quickly down her cheeks and shouted, "Yes, I'm sure I want to marry you and spend the rest of my life with you."

Chandler took the ring out of the case, it was a beautiful diamond with two sapphires on each side.

Monica was happy, and that night they celebrated again and again.

The next day, after Monica called everyone to tell them that they were engaged, they went to the beach, and while they were resting in the easy chairs in the shade of an awning, Chandler asked her

"Love, how do you want our wedding to be…." How long it would take to be married would depend on her answer, and he wanted it to be soon, but he also knew that those events take a lot of time to organize.

Monica answered. "When I was a child, a teenager, I dreamed of a lavish wedding, with a church all decorated with flowers, I would be in all the details, the color of the flowers, the dress of the bridesmaids and then a huge party with the best food and a band to cheer and dance…. And I thought it would be the happiest day of my life."

"I had everything I had dreamed of when I married Pete, although I was not involved in any of the details, he organized it and chose everything…. However, far from my dreams, it was not a happy day for me, my thoughts were as if they were asleep, I had to greet tons of people I didn't even know, I felt like the doll on the cake, the showy thing that the magnate of internet, not once during the ceremony or the party did he tell me that he loved me, he was totally busy with the organization and pleasing his friends, partners, clients…"

"If you felt that way, why did you move on…" Chandler asked.

"Out of cowardice, because everyone told me that he was the perfect man, I surrounded myself with attention and promises of starting a family, because I believed that I would come to love him over time, perhaps when the children arrived…"

"And after the wedding, when everything happened, I realized that the lavish wedding, my childhood dream, was a chimera, and I came to the conclusion that if there is love in the couple, it is enough for the two of them to be at the wedding, they do not need nothing else…."

Chandler smiled…. "Then we don't have to waste time organizing a spectacular wedding."

"No, of course not," Monica said… "what are you thinking…"

"A wedding on the beach, at sunset, only with our parents, siblings and some friends… and organizing that would not take us more than a couple of months…. The most complicated with the date is going to be my mother, with her permanent trips, but this time she is going to have to give me priority "

Monica looked at him amazed and at the same time with a wide smile."You're sure …"

"Yes, I do, and are you sure?"

"Well, let's choose a tentative date, to coordinate with everyone."

"And I have to find a dress," said Monica, more alarmed.

"So that? "You wear a bikini and I wear a speedo," Chandler said, dying of laughter, "so the men will envy me lucking your beautiful body and the girls will envy you for the well-endowed husband you got."

Monica nudged him, "Silly, well you would like to show off…."

"We also have to look for the beach place that we like….. There is work to do"

Three months later the wedding took place on a beach in Jamaica.

Judy went with a couple, which surprised everyone, but Nora went alone. Helena went with her usual partner, Monica's friends also managed to go.

They all arrived two days before the wedding, participated in the rehearsal dinner, and the next day at sunset the ceremony took place. The order was for everyone to wear comfortable, summer, beach clothes, nothing formal. Monica wore a loose, light lace dress, and Chandler wore a blue suit, with a light blue shirt and no tie like the rest of the guests.

The ring children were Monica's little brothers and her nephew Ben. The bridesmaids and The bridesmaids andgroomsmen at the wedding were Phoebe and Rachel and Ross and Joey

The ceremony was very romantic, both of their vows were perfect, and it all ended with a passionate kiss from the newlyweds.

Then a dinner was served with typical food from the island, and everyone ended up dancing on the beach.

The next day the guests returned to NY and the couple stayed at the hotel to celebrate their honeymoon.

Six months after the wedding, Monica and Chandler decided to move to a bigger place, Chandler needed a place for his desk and they also wanted to have a room for when a baby arrived, which they were already looking for.

Monica rented her apartment and between the two of them they rented one in Tribeca, which left them close to the Village and also not too far from the Restaurant. Chandler had established himself in his work and had finished the book that he presented to his mother's publishing house and was awaiting the decision.

Ross also moved to the Village, he was already living with Rachel and they had gotten engaged, but in this case Rachel did want a wedding, not lavish, but formal and elegant, so they planned to get married in the spring of next year.

That chance meeting, after so many years between Monica and Rachel, that afternoon, had changed the path of their lives, they had both found love, and brought happiness to the men that life had finally given each of them one of them on the road.
