Characters: Edward, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper

Chapter 1: The Offer

EPOV

I was rescued when the Tsunami hit Sri Lanka resulting from the Indian Ocean earthquake on December 26th, 2004. I don't have much memory of it, but people presumed I was on the Samudra Devi (Queen of the Sea) holiday train, that derailed due to the Tsunami killing close to 1700 passengers. Only about 20 people survived the train wreck including myself.

I was transported to Batapola hospital. Later I learned that the water that flooded the train came up to about 60 ft high. The injuries I sustained healed quickly, but the injury to my head caused memory loss. For years I've tried and contacted embassies with no success in finding out my identity. Who am I? The people who rescued me in Telwatta had been very kind to me. I was given sanctuary at a nearby Temple. They took me in and welcomed me. After I healed, I was given a job at the Colombo fort, and since last year I started working at The Breeze Bar, by the pool at the Cinnamon Grand Hotel.

A year ago, I met an American at Flags and Whistle restaurant in Colombo, and became fast friends. His name was Emmett Cullen from New York. He was on honeymoon with his wife, Rosalie. They were newlyweds. They spent 2 weeks at The Galle Face Hotel. On days I didn't have work, I took them around Sri Lanka, as their tour guide. Over the years I picked up Sinhalese, one of the languages spoken by 70% of the people in Sri Lanka.

Thankfully, due to the Burghers that were descendants of the European colonists from the 16th to the 20th century from Portugal, Dutch, German, and the British, having fair skin and green eyes didn't make me stand out that much amongst the population here.

I met many Americans in the 4 years I lived here in Colombo. The consensus was that I was an American from the Mid-west, most probably Chicago, according to the American tourists I met here in Sri Lanka.

I kept in touch with Emmett for a year now through emails and phone calls. He called me at least once a month. Last time when he called, he told me he was returning to Sri Lanka with Rosalie, to celebrate their 1st wedding anniversary. He said he was coming here with Rosalie and his brother, Jasper, and Jasper's girlfriend, Alice.

I went to greet them in the lobby of The Galle Face Hotel where they were staying at. They were booked in the royal suites there. When I got to the lobby they were already there waiting to be handed their key. Emmett looked like his usual self. Loud, obnoxious, funny, and child like. His younger brother was different. He seemed sensitive and soft spoken. His brother's girlfriend was a little pixie. Probably shorter than 5 feet and had black, spiky, short hair. She bounced in the lobby looking around like a child in a candy store. Rosalie looked just as beautiful since the last time I saw her. Her long blonde hair and blue eyes were met with almost all the men who walked past her in the lobby.

"Hey guys. This is Edward. Edward, you remember Rosalie. This is my brother Jasper, and his girlfriend, Alice." Emmett introduced me.

"Hi. It's my pleasure to meet you all. It's so good to see you two again. I hope you all have a great time here." I said.

Alice jumped into my arms and hugged me. "It's so good to meet you finally. We heard so many great things about you." Alice said and smiled.

"I'll go freshen up. Can I meet you back here in half an hour? Let's go to dinner together." Emmett said to me.

"Sure. Shall I make a reservation for 5 somewhere?" I asked Emmett.

"Rose is beat and Alice and Jasper wants to go for a swim. It'll just be you and me. I'm sure we can get in almost anywhere since it's just the two of us." Emmett said and left to go up to his suite.

I decided to take Emmett to the Cricket Club Café for a few drinks. When he came down to the lobby, he wanted to take a tuk tuk to the Cricket Club, so we hired 2 of them, and went down to Cricket Club Café.

Emmett loved the old style bungalow and the cricket memorabilia that decorated the walls. We ordered some beer, burgers, and fries.

"So, Edward, how are things for you these days? I know we talk often, but it is different on the phone than actually meeting face to face. I have an agenda apart from celebrating my one year anniversary with Rose. I wanted to talk to you if you'd be interested in moving to New York, to work for me and my family," Emmett said to me.

I was really shocked after hearing Emmett's proposal to me. I never considered moving out of Sri Lanka. I don't even remember my last name nor even own a passport. There was no way for me to leave this country. "Emmett that's so generous of you. If you remember, I have amnesia. I can't even make a passport because I don't even know who I am."

"I can take care of all that. Jasper knows a guy who can deal with that. His name is Jason Jenks. He's very good at what he does and all you have to do is say 'yes' and all the necessary documents will be arranged you." Emmett said and grinned.

"It sounds too good to be true. I think I used all my luck when I survived the Tsunami." I said to Emmett.

"Hear me out. You know that my family owns a vineyard in Napa Valley, The Cullen Estate Wines. It's all run by family. My parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins also work in this business. My brother and I also have a café and a little market in the upper east side of New York called C. Cullen and Sons. We have a warehouse for the goods in Brooklyn that I'm responsible for. Rose wants to start a family, and that means I won't be able to travel like I used to. I need you to come and work for me in New York, so that you can assist me." Emmett explained.

His offer was tempting. It would be my ticket out of this country. It would give me an opportunity to search for my identity. I'd have a job, and a place to live too. Maybe I can finally make myself feel like I belong somewhere, fill in the memory blanks, and feel complete again.

"Just think about it while we're here. You don't have to leave with us. Even if you decide to move to New York, you probably have things you need to take care of here, before you can actually relocate." Emmett said.

"Let me think about it. It's something I've never even dreamed or considered. I just always thought I was going to be stuck here. Regardless of whether I accept your offer or not, please know that I am forever grateful that you even considered offering me this position. Thank you Emmett."

"What are friends for? In this case you would be helping me, and it would be me who need to thank you, if you decide to take my offer." Emmett said and squeezed my shoulder.

"You've certainly piqued my interest. Would you please tell me more about your operation in New York?"

"Sure thing. Well, like I told you earlier, Jasper and I run a café, and a little market in the upper east side of New York. Bella is our chef and our pâtissier of the café. My brother, Alice, and I grew up with Bella. We're originally from a small town in Washington, called Forks. After I graduated, I came out here to New York, and attended Columbia, and got my M.B.A from Columbia Business School. After Jasper finished high school, he, Alice, and Bella came out to New York. Jasper went to NYU and got his M.B.A from NYU Stern. Alice went to Parsons, to study fashion design and marketing. Bella went to Culinary Institute of America. After she graduated, she spent a few years in Italy, and worked in a restaurant there, and that's the reason we serve great pasta and pizzas at our Café." Emmett started to explain his business operation.

"Wow so your chef studied in Italy?" I asked Emmett.

"Yes, she did. We all take our business seriously, and that's the reason our wine business and Café is doing very well. The business is doing excellen,t but we need a little push on the distribution of our wines, and need someone responsible to handle that, and that's where I need you. I know you have experience from working at the port, importing and exporting goods, and have experience managing the bar at The Breeze, which would be a great asset to us, should you decided to come and work for us, both at our warehouse and the Café. If you're thinking I offered you the position out of pity, or because you are my friend, then you are mistaken. Like I said, I take our business seriously, and would not be jeopardizing it. I believe that I can benefit from your expertise and help strengthen the business."

After his explanation, I felt better that he wasn't just trying to be charitable. "I will seriously consider your offer. I do believe that I can bring something to the table, but please give me a little while to think about it. It would be a major change in my life, and not something I can jump into with both feet, before putting some thought into it," I said to Emmett.

"While we're here you can talk to Rose, Jasper, and Alice. They'll be able to share more about the Café and the market. Rose handles customer relations and marketing. Jasper is the General Manager of the Café. My mother designed the Café but Alice takes care of all the linens, dinnerware, flatware, and stemware. We have several hired help in the back and several servers. I guess that basically covers the overall picture. Have any questions?"

"It sounds like a dream job, but very hard work. I'm surprised you were all able to take a break and come out here."

"Yeah. We love it, but it drains us. Bella and my parents are covering for us right now. She wants time off during Christmas to go home to Washington to see her father, so she stayed in New York, instead of coming with us. It worked out well for all of us. I don't know if we really could have been able to come here this time unless Bella stayed behind."

"What kind of food do you have on the menu at the Café?"

"The menu isn't that extensive. We have daily specials and 5 selections of pasta dishes, 5 kinds of pizzas, 5 kinds of Panini, and some pastries and cakes."

"What do you sell at the market?"

"We sell the Cullen wines, pastas, olive oil, spices, pasta sauce, meats and produce. We mainly sell the ingredients needed to make the pasta dishes, pizzas, and Panini that are offered at the Café."

"If I went to work for you, what will I do first?"

"I'll probably try to ease you in slowly. Show you the set up first, have you work at the Café, and then the market. While you're working there Jasper, Rose, and Bella can teach you about our wines and goods. Then I'll take you to our distribution center in Brooklyn and start showing you how to handle shipping and inventory. It's a lot of work, but I think you'll enjoy it." Emmett said and smiled.

After we finished discussing about the job offer, we started to talk about his plans of sightseeing in Sri Lanka. I knew Emmett wanted to go to Polonnaruwa during their stay. It was the island's medieval capital. He couldn't go see the ruins from the 12th century, and the seated, standing, and reclining Buddha last time he was here in Sri Lanka. Rosalie and Emmett barely left their hotel room. Understandable, since it was their honeymoon.

"Jasper mentioned he also wanted to go to Sigiriya Rock (Lion's Rock). The ancient rock fortress and palace." Emmett said.

"It's a beautiful place. It's my favorite. It's one of the seven Unesco's World Heritage in Sri Lanka."

"I heard we're here in time for Kandy Esala Perahera. I was told not to miss it. I heard it was the most spectacular Buddhist festival of the year here. They told me the procession includes torch bearers, drummers, musicians, fire dancers, whip dancers, Kandian dancers, 100 elaborately adorned elephants, and tooth of Buddha." Emmett sounded really excited.

"It's next week, so you definitely don't want to miss it. I'll make the necessary arrangements for you guys."

"Thanks. I really appreciate it. We wouldn't have half the fun if you weren't here. We get to do the tourist thing and experience what the locals do because of you. Don't know how to thank you." Emmett said sincerely.

"No need to thank me. You've done so much for me already." I said and smiled at Emmett.

"Oh, we're also planning to spend a few days in Maldives. We booked the Beach Pavilion at Huvafen Fushi. Rose wanted to experience having a personal butler on call 24 hrs a day." Emmett chuckled.

"I've heard really great things about that place. I'm sure you'll all love it there. Make sure Rose and Alice try the underwater spa there. Go snorkeling, sunset fishing, visit the SpaQuarium, and go on the private photo flights on the air taxi. There's so much to do there, you'll have a great anniversary."

We headed back to the hotel and Emmett reminded me to carefully consider his offer.
