Arriving at Grandeur Airport, the clock struck four in the afternoon. It was only three hours before departure, and luckily, the plane was rumored to be delayed by thirty minutes."You need to check in right away," Sebastian told Amanda. "The process might take a bit longer, so you'd better leave as soon as possible.""And what about you?" Amanda asked."I'll catch up later," Sebastian replied. "There are some important things I need to accomplish before I leave the country."Amanda had no idea what Sebastian wanted to do. And, she didn't want to know either, because Sebastian usually did dangerous things that would only make her anxious.So, Amanda simply nodded her head before leading her parents to check in and go through the rest of the administrative process.Meanwhile, Sebastian went to a small bakery in a very quiet airport, called "Breaddo the Bread House".The bakery was an early player, having only opened a few days ago, but was already famous for the bad taste of its bread.
As Sebastian made a small run at the airport after passing through the immigration officers, Amanda suddenly called.Suddenly, his cell phone rang, and he saw the name "Amanda" on the screen. Quickly, he answered the call."Amanda," he greeted. "What's wrong?"Amanda sounded anxious on the other end of the line. "Sebastian, where are you right now? Our plane suddenly canceled the delay and departed as originally scheduled. Me, my dad, and my mom already on the plane."Sebastian tapped his forehead, feeling surprised and shocked. "What? Damn it! I talked too much with Dheon and Gilbert at the bakery earlier and even had some wine. I need to hurry up and get there."She quickened her pace and looked for signs leading to the airport lounge. Amanda continued to speak, trying to provide more information."Sebastian, we're really worried. This plane won't be waiting on the tarmac for long. I'm afraid they're closing the doors any minute now."Sebastian was feeling increasingly agitated. "I'
After seventeen hours of traveling, they finally arrived in Bali.Exiting the airport and hiring two taxis, Sebastian took Amanda and her family to a five-star hotel close to the beach.The hotel is a five-star resort that stands majestically on the beachfront of Bali. With elegant Balinese architecture, the building gives a modern twist to its classic style. They arrived as the sun began to dip over the horizon, offering spectacular views.The resort is surrounded by enchanting tropical gardens, creating a peaceful and natural atmosphere. Their rooms have private terraces facing directly onto the beach, where they can enjoy sun or cocktail drinks while taking in the stunning sunset views.The infinity pool extends until it merges with the ocean, creating an unforgettable experience. The resort's spa offers relaxing Balinese treatments and massages.The restaurants serve local and international dishes, including deliciously fresh seafood. That night, they opted for dinner by the beach
Amanda couldn't help but let out a long sigh.Not long after, Sebastian received a call from the hotel caretaker saying that the taxi he ordered had arrived at the hotel's front yard."We should go now," Sebastian said after hanging up the call. "The taxi is waiting in downstairs."Amanda then said to Robert and Susan, "Mom, Dad, now you need to stop. Aren't you listening to Sebastian?"Robert and Susan looked at each other before finally nodding their heads. Agree with their daugther.Susan immediately picked up one of the small bags. "Robert, please carry the big bag."Robert agreed, but he still asked, "You brought so much stuff? We're only going to the beach visible from the window of this inn, so I mean, it's too much.""I brought plenty of food for you, Robert," Susan replied."But there are countless food vendors on the beach. We can buy good food at a cheap price.""This has been our custom for a long time. Do you remember that it was you who asked me to prepare the supplies f
"It was when my old best friend Harold and I had a fight. We were in a bar when the accident happened. We were drunk, and I accidentally revealed the long-hidden shame of his family: his father was sterile, and his mother was having an affair to get pregnant.""Everyone heard my rant, and they laughed non-stop. I laughed along too, of course, because I was drunk. But what I didn't know was that Harold wasn't completely drunk.""He beat me to a pulp. I would have almost died if one of my friends hadn't rescued me from that place. Then, he sent me back to my country. However, through his social media announcements, Harold vowed to take revenge on me at any cost."Sebastian's forehead wrinkled. "Mr. Kate, wasn't that a dozen years ago? It's a wonder you're still alive and well today. Perhaps, Harold has already forgotten his grudge against you.""Yes, he should have." Robert looked around him. "However, I don't believe that he will forget my mistake. I'm well acquainted with his nature
However, Sebastian only smiled slightly while shaking his head slowly. He chose to let this game continue, at least until he found out Dean's true intentions."If you believe that Harold has forgiven me, then I might be able to attend your son's wedding tonight," Robert said. "However, you have to be sure of that, and ensure my safety there.""Take it easy, Robert. I guarantee you won't regret it. There's plenty of food and drink at our party, and all of them have been customized for tourists like yourself," Dean said enthusiastically. "Besides, this is a way for you and Harold to forgive each other. You can't stay enemies forever."Robert agreed with Dean. "Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. As long as he has no intention of attacking me, then I will kneel before him to apologize."Dean frowned. "Huh, isn't that too much?""No, it's not. It's not excessive." Robert shook his head. "You know very well, Dean, I've made a very fatal mistake to him. Her family name has become ugly, I'v
Over lunch on the beach, Robert expressed his desire to attend his son Dean's wedding later that evening to Amanda and Susan.This, of course, left them both clueless.Susan asked, "What made you think of seeing your old friends again, Honey? I'm a hundred percent sure that Harold is there too. You'd be finished if you met him!"Robert shook his head. "No. Dean said that he regretted his anger in the past, and really wanted to meet me to apologize. I can't make him disappointed with me."Hearing that, Susan breathed a sigh of relief without any suspicion. "Well then, that's good. It's very important to repair your relationship with Harold. In the past, you two helped each other in trouble.""You and Amanda should come too," Robert continued. "Dean invited you two.""What for? It's your friend's son's wedding, and we don't know him at all," Susan objected at first.But Amanda said, "Mom, we know that you'll be facing Harold tonight. If he goes alone, Dad will be very easily cornered by
Amanda went to the changing room, while Sebastian immediately stripped off all his clothes except for the shorts he had prepared for the bath.Feeling the thin breeze across his muscular frame, Sebastian didn't wait any longer to throw himself into the hot spring pool.A minute later, Amanda came out.Shyly, she walked towards the hot spring pool, where Sebastian was watching her without batting an eyelid.The sight of Amanda wearing only a bikini made Sebastian perfectly stunned.He knew that she was a goddess endowed with all the beauty that heaven has, but he wouldn't have thought that the sight would be this beautiful!Her skin was as white as snow, as smooth as jade, and completely devoid of a single flaw.Her curves seemed to be sanded to perfection. It was similar to the antique vases displayed in museums.This was just... completely beyond him."Please don't look at me in that way," Amanda said with flushed cheeks.Sebastian said, but he didn't avert his eyes, "You're really b
