Loren was quite adamant. He doesn't know for sure if he'll be so excited happy or sad about the news that the war is over. There is that feeling of reluctance to accept that their fate is within the island but on the other hand wanting to know what's in another land aside from Italy. They are already accustomed to the life in the jungle. Everything's free and in orderly well balance according to the life they set upon. Nobody gets sick and nobody gets hurt. They don't have any enemy except if there are wild animals roaming their camp ground. Although they have weapons to use and prevent such attack. The climate seemed favorable for them also no need to complain and whine.

"Don't you miss your friends and other relatives Loren?" asked Mila.

Loren quickly answered, " you're all my friends here, close friends and relatives." The others who were left behind in Italy are acquaintance with no string attachment."

"Oh thanks for that." Mila and the young girls said with a smile on their face.

"My friends probably moved out of the land. They are wealthy enough to go abroad and left Italy for good instead of staying under the Mussollini's regime." Joselito said.

Mila missed her friends. The kids missed the good life of having more people at their home. Visitors who frequently enjoyed the tranquil sunny side of the vineyard. The workers at the winery who keep them laughing with their antic comedy rituals once in a while when they visit the workplace. They missed the electricity, the big swimming pool, the television.

"You have a bigger pool here. You have the blue ocean, the lagoon, and the river. " Loren continued explaining, " your television is in black and white and the reception is blurry." All you watch are silent movies, Walt Disney, and Charlie Chaplin. Tamara and Cade laughed at what Loren said because it's true.
