Joel pointed at the window with his chin, making Ariel turn her body to face the window. His eyes opened wide after seeing what was before his eyes.
Enchanted by what nature presents to her. The reflection of the sunlight that slowly appeared showed the sun that had just risen.
"Wwooww,,,,"
Ariel saw several islands surrounded by the ocean, even some buildings were seen standing majestically on the water.
The sun had appeared completely, clarifying the nature that was beneath it. Slowly, the plane began to move further down, making everything Ariel had seen before become much clearer again.
White sand, calm ocean waves, and several islands that look separate from each other. Requires the help of a boat, speedboat or the like to go to one island with another island.
The soft moaning sounds coming from beside them distracted Ariel. When he turned his head, Joel also did the same thing, seeing one more person who had just been carried away from his sleep.
Darcie squirmed and slowly opened her eyes.
"Have we landed yet?" ask Darcie with a raucous voice
Joel chuckled softly followed by Ariel who also laughed at the things they did not expect.
"What?" darcie asked confusedly.
"I wonder how many days you haven't slept?" ask Ariel.
"Ehh,,? Why suddenly ask?" dacie asked as she rubbed her face.
"It's nothing, it's just that you look slumbering, uhm, or you can say you just woke up but it looks like you just did some heavy work" Ariel said.
"Ahh,, that, I'm just too much of a kingdom that makes me unable to sleep properly," explained Darcie.
Ariel nodded in understanding. Shortly after, the voice of the flight attendant was heard to inform passengers that the landing would be imminent and to ask all passengers to sit down.
Ariel corrected her sitting position, as did Darcie. He picked up the blanket that had originally covered his body and returned it to the cabin.
They walked together out of the plane after the landing was complete, tracing the airport aisle and picking up their luggage at the pick-up point.
"Hey, can I have your phone number, Joel? I have to make sure that you guys don't run away from my invitation later. Anyway you guys should come," said Darcie.
The three of them stood in front of the airport, preparing to separate. Joel gives her mobile number, smiling thinly realizing Darcie values their relationship deeply.
Given that Darcie was a friend who first knew Ariel, he chose to ask for her number in comparison to Ariel's number.
"All right, I've saved it" said Darcie.
After saying that, a black car pulled over and approached where Darcie was standing. The same guy they saw at the cafe got out of the car and came up to Darcie. Bow respectfully.
"Hopefully we can meet again after this, whether just to eat together or whatever it is" said Darcie.
"That's very easy to do as long as you get your job done" Joel said.
"Well, you're very right about this, if I could change positions with you" Darcie said.
"I didn't expect that at all" said Joel.
"Ha ha, all right, have a good time for you guys" said Dracie.
"See you later" said Joel.
Joel and Ariel stare at Darcie's departure until the car disappears from their sight. Shortly after, the car that picked them up came to drive them to the hotel that Joel had booked earlier.
"How many things have you prepared?" ariel asked, breaking the silence in the car.
"I'm just making sure you're comfortable until we get home" Joel replied.
"Ah, about that, I want to ask you something" Joel said, staring at Ariel's face.
"What?" ask Ariel.
"Do we need to buy a new house or apartment located in the middle between where you work and where I work?" ask Joel.
"We can occupy any place you want" continued Joel.
"Apartman is obviously closer to home, but I don't have a problem living anywhere, either" replied Ariel.
"Alright, we'll think about it later on slowly," Joel said.
Ariel nodded in agreement, leaning her head against Joel's boat, until they finally arrived at the hotel.Their arrival greeted the friendly receptionist who was serving them, their luggage was immediately taken over the porter (officer who brought the goods) who mamandu them to the room.
As soon as the door of the room opened, Ariel could not hide the sigh of admiration on her face. The room Joel booked was very spacious with a balcony overlooking the sea.
"Thank you, sir," said the porter as he received a tip from Joel.
"Happy to enjoy your time" he said again.
Joel simply nodded with a friendly smile on his face. He locked the door after the porter left and approached Ariel who had been on the balcony.
His two arms wrapped around Ariel's waist from behind, landing his chin on Ariel's shoulder.
"Are you tired?" ask Joel.
"Not really, even more so this scene seems to be a fatigue busier," replied Ariel putting her hand on Joel's hand.
"Want to refresh yourself?" bargain Joel.
"I've already ordered some food, and it'll probably be here soon,"
"You can take a shower first while I wait for the food to come" Joe said without letting go of his arms.
Ariel turned her body, facing her husband until their faces faced each other.
"Why do I feel like what you're saying is just a pretext? Hemm?" ariel raised her eyebrows.
"You know me too well" said Joel, laughing softly. Poking his forehead on Ariel's forehead.
"Room service,, you know,,,"
"Yes?" greet Joel after opening the door.
"I brought you your order" he said with a friendly smile.
"Ah, thank you, let me just," said Joel to immediately take over the food from the room service officer.
The room service officer smiled understandingly, and immediately left his guest.
"Sweetie,, do you want to eat now_,,,?"
Joel circulated his gaze, but did not find his wife. Carefully, he placed the food on the table and stepped into the bathroom to make sure Ariel was there.
His hand was about to knock on the bathroom door when he suddenly stopped his movements. A wide grin began to decorate his face while removing his glasses.
"If I knock on the door, he'll just come back to tease me," Joel muttered softly.
With a careful movement, Joel opened the bathroom door that turned out not in the key without making a sound. The sound of water gurgling from the shower makes his smile widen, until his eyes catch the figure who is turning his back under the shower flowing profusely.
With a slow step, Joel approached Ariel who was still unaware of Joel's presence behind her. His eyes were closed letting the water wash over his entire body, as if it could wash away the fatigue during the remaining journey.
He felt a pair of hands holding him from behind.
"Joel,," cried Ariel surprised.
"I'm not done yet, wait outside for a moment" Ariel asked in shock.
"Why should I wait outside when I can be here now?" reply Joel refused to let go of his embrace.
"Don't you tell me yourself that you're going to wait outside?" ariel reminded me.
"really? Did I say it?" ask Joel.
"Yes, you said you would wait, so come out" Ariel asked.
"You even made your clothes wet" he continued.
"Try to repeat what I told you again" Joel said.
"And you're going out?" ask Ariel.
"Only if you don't make mistakes" Joel replied.
"I can take a shower first while you wait for the food to come" Ariel repeated what Joel had said earlier.
"Surprisingly, I never felt like I said it," said Joel to tighten his arms.
"Haiss,, well, well, well, I get it,!" gerutu Ariel loosened the hand of Joel who was clawing at his waist.
Ariel turned around, wrapped her hands around Joel's neck. Looking at her husband's face under the water, one hand moved to Joel's face, tracing his cheek line with his fingers without saying a word.
A triumphant smile graced Joel's face which immediately leaned over, holding Ariel with both hands as he eroded the distance between them.

"Aarrghhhhh,,,,,!!!"
Ken groaned in annoyance when he saw the stack of papers in front of him. The data of some people who have registered and have been selected still survive at twenty-five people.
And now he has to do his own arrangement when Ariel is not there to help him.
"My head feels like it's going to explode" he growled as he placed his head on the table.
"Is Brother Ariel like this too? And Ariel's sister can do it? I'm curious that Ariel's not even bald" he said bluntly.
'LOCATED,,,!!'
The loud sound landed right after Ken finished his speech.
"Ohh,," said Ken, turning his head.
"Sister,," exasperated Ken. "What the hell? It hurts," Ken's grunt rubbed his head.
"You talk without brakes like that and keep complaining. Your work won't be done with just your complaints" Charlie scolded.
"Aren't you the one who said you could give up everything related to the studio? That's also why you became his assistant isn't it?" charlie again.
"To be right," welcome Ken to lower his hand.
"I just didn't expect it to make me end up like this" Ken lamented.
Charlie noticed some papers scattered on the table, some even on the floor that had been squeezed into a ball shape.
The stack of papers containing the data of the people who had passed the selection stage was still quite a lot.
Ken again dropped his head on the table like a man who had just failed a written exam.
Charlie smiled as he shook his head, then got up from his seat and walked towards the kitchen, leaving his sister alone.
"So bad boy, it doesn't even look like he cares" Ken grumbled.
"Sister Charlie sucks!" objurgation.
