Aloha, I am chantel and as those of you have read in my blog and posts as well, I was born, raised and grew up on the big-island of hawai'i. I am going to tell you all a story that I have not told anyone. A story that will bring some to tears and will leave many in shock. I will brake my story up into as many parts as possible so it is not a long ass read, lols. I will use different names than the actual peoples names. 

I started dating Bob in the summer of 2008. Everything was so perfect. I met Bob at his niece and nephews Baptism after party. My cousin was looking around for someone to go and make her a plate of food. She pulled this guy on the side and said hey go make me a plate of this and that, and the guy went. I asked her who was that she said Bob. My cousin started telling me that he was single and he lived in the house that we kept going to. The house we went to , to prepare for the baptism,  I then remembered and was like oh yea okay I remember now. But anyways Bob came back with a plate for her and she told him to go make me a plate, but he walked away. 

I thought that he did not want to talk to me, well after all he had just walked away while my cousin was talking to him. I kind of felt weird after that and went and sat in my cousins car to wait for her. I heard tapping on the car window it was Bob, Bob says to me why are you sitting here in the car, I heard that you was interested in me, I told Bob yea why? Bob says nothing I kind of like you too , you are cute and pretty. Bob then asked if I wanted to go back to his place, so I asked my cousin if she would be okay with it and she said yea go ahead. So I went with Bob back to his house and made the night the funniest, he did not have his house key, lols, talk about embarrassing. But his sister did come to the house and brought the key after he texted her too,lols.

The next day my cousin was supposed to have come back to pahala to pick me up, I was calling her and texting her non stop, she never answer almost all day, till she finally showed up at Bob's house. Bob walked me out to her truck and then was bout to walk away and my cousin said you not going kiss her bye. Bob turned around and kisses me bye. My cousin and I are then leaving pahala on our way back to waiohinu where we live, its only 10 mins away, it's another town. Well while we are heading home she asking me so many questions, like what did we do? Did we hit off? Are we boyfriend and girlfriend ? What is going to happen now? I told my cousin slow her roll because I don't even know if me and bob were together or if it was just a one night thing. My cousin said oh okay well I think you guys make a cute couple, just saying. 

I finally get home and my grandmother asks me where have I been. I started telling her about this guy in pahala and how old he was etc... My grandmother did not look happy or pleased with me at all. I then told my grandmother about his mom and then his dad, then my grandmother says I know Bob's dad, Bob's brother was my grandmothers classmate in highschool. I was left kind of in shock, I was also thinking oh no are we related to this person I want to be my bf. My grandmother did let me know we are in no way related to them, Bob's and his family are Filipino, my bloodline carries no Filipino at all. My grandmother then told me it was my choice and just to be careful.

I then started dating Bob. I was in pahala every other week, until I just had enough of being away from Bob. I wanted to be with him and near him. I moved into Bob's and his family house 4 months after being together. Rush well maybe it was, but everything seemed to have been fine. Everything was fine with his family that I was going to be there 24-7, everyone seemed to be fine with the idea so I thought. what I am about to tell you is about to happen next will maybe shock you and bring tears to your eyes.

Now the first 3 years of my relationship with Bob was and felt unreal, it felt to good to be true. Bob's family is all about name brand things, such as there clothing, shoes, makeup, and other material objects. Bob's and his family was spoiling me left and right. I mean buying me all kinds of things, and giving me all kinds of things too. I felt like a spoiled little princess being with Bob. Bob and his family always had money, they were seasonal farm workers. Then one day got a cop outside the house with a eviction notice to Bob's family. I call Bob's and tell him and let him know because they were all at work Bob's and his mom them come home and are not in shock or surprised much at all. Bob's mom then told me and explained to me the situation at hand and what was going on, it was confusing I'm not going to lie, but I just went with it and helped them because I loved Bob.

Bob then moved with me into my grandmothers house and Bob's family moved in with his mom's friend right next door to the house they got evicted from. I then had to hustle and look for them a place to live. Yes , I say "I" had to hustle for Bob's and his family just were not capable of doing such things, the knowledge just is not there. The two sisters that have brains and would rather not help in certain situations live in Kailua-kona. Now I am asking around in pahala if anyone knows a place for rent or possibly rent to own for Bob's and his family, everywhere I look turns out nothing good. Then Bob's old time friend was back in pahala town for a few weeks from out of town and mentioned that the house across from where they use to live belonged to is his aunty who now lives in Virginia, the people she was previously renting the house to had not paid rent and had destroyed the house as well, from he was told about previous renters I took down information and  it took a long while before I got in touch with Bob's friend's aunty.

So now Bob's friends aunty finally answers her phone and explains to me that she can not answer text messages or her phone as much unless it is from a client, she explained to me that she is a realtor and is always on the road selling homes and doing business trips. She then started telling me that she did not want to rent out the house until it got furnished. I started crying to her and told her that Bob's and his family want to be stable in a house with a roof over there head and together for christmas, is there any possible way you can rent it out to them please, I said.  She says to me the previous renters were paying $1,200, I then told her that is to much I am sorry to say for them to afford because Bob's husband is on SSI retirement and Bob's , Bob's brother and his mother is the only one's working in the household. She then says I will think about it and have to call you back, give me a few days to think about it. I say ok and we hang up the phone. The waiting was brain wrecking, I did not know if she was going to say okay and rent it out to Bob's and his family at a lower rate or she would say no she is not going to rent out the house until it was fully furnished. The thoughts were running through my brain day and night, and just getting more worried, but kept praying and waiting for her call with hopefully good news.

Now its been about 4 days and the owner of the house in pahala calls me back. she says to me I have gave it a lot of thought and took into consideration what you explained to me as well about bob's and his family and there situation, so with that being said if Bob's and his family can manage to do $600.00 a month with a $500.00 deposit down, then sure they can rent the house with a possibility of rent to own. I was so happy and almost crying. She then started to explain how the process of this would work as she was in the state of Virginia and not in Hawai'i. She said she is in contact with the local real estate office in Na'alehu and will be sending her paperwork and information there, all we would need to do is go down to the real estate office and sign the papers and make sure that everything was correct and in order. So the next day myself , Bob's and his family went down to the real estate office and had the paperwork signed and done and everything set. 

What happens next will blow your mind. Bob's and I go to the house in pahala with the paperwork in the car. We were trying to figure out how we were going to get into the house. I call the owner of the house and she says ........

Stay tuned for Part 2
