"We'll be sitting at the back," I said sparingly to Miss Rochelle.
Two company vans were needed for the team building of the entire department because there were more than ten of us going. Rafa, Yerim, and I stood in the back of the van. In front of us were Sophia and her other friend. Jerome and Cielo were in front of them and Sir Vincent then Miss Rochelle.
"It's good that Levi agreed you to come without him, especially in your condition," Rafa told me lazily while adjusting her yellow head pillow.
I looked at her for a moment and turned back to the car window. Yerim was still silent because she seemed to be wide awake.
"He said it's fine cause I'm with you," I simply replied to her.
When I found out that Royale had team building and Rafa's entire department was with them, I didn't hesitate to join. I also invited Yerim even though we were no longer part of the company. Missing this kind of vacation even just nearby.
“I’ll sleep for a while. I didn't get enough sleep.”
That was the last thing she said before she went to sleep. It was only five o'clock in the morning when we all met in front of the company so that we wouldn't have lunch because we still had a long flight.
Even I lack sleep but I can't sleep because it's a pity that I will miss beautiful places if I sleep
My phone suddenly beeped so, I checked it.
Levi
Take care, Lumiere. I’ll see you tomorrow. I love you
I smiled when I read that. I just plugged the earphone into my ear and listened to songs instead of replying to him. He didn't want to go because he said he wanted to be with Ria so I just let them alone.
"Touch down, Batangas!" Excited, shouts of all when we arrived on the island.
It's past eleven in the morning and I feel like my energy is as high as the sun today because of the beautiful island where we are now.
“Damn! Is this a secret paradise? It's so beautiful here!” Yerim shouted excitedly so we all laughed. Rafa was just sparing to smile.
The white sands and the blue water is perfection! The corral reefs below are prominent because of its extremely clear water. There are also some people sand bathing and surfing nearby. Because it is a private island, only a few people and others are still tourists.
Since noon, everyone has eaten first at the resort where we will stay. It has a restaurant attached so everyone goes straight there. When we finished eating, we were allowed to go for a walk first to rest. The others went straight to their respective rooms with Yerim and Rafa while I preferred to walk for a while.
I want to appreciate the beauty of this island. The heat of the sun will not be felt much because the wind is also strong in the area.
I took off my slippers to feel comfortable with the white sand. I have walked a long way. I was probably at the end of the island when I stopped right in front of a white house that I think was meant to be built there to have this beautiful view every morning. The two-story house has no other color than its navy blue fence.
Whoever lives here, I’m sure he always has a good day. Having a house like this is priceless. It feels good to have a house like this.
The house was so beautiful that I gradually approached it. Its small gate was not locked up to my waist so I went inside. There was a hammock in the middle of two big make-trees there so I went straight there. I also noticed small white rocks scattered on each path instead of sand being there. There is a white round table and white chairs next to the hammock. Even the cradle where I am now is also white so I am even more amazed.
When I was bored, I dared to peek out the glass window of the house because it was slightly open. I smiled when I saw the inside of the house. It was decorated by a geometrical theme. The color is refreshing. It's white and a touch of navy blue color. Even the furnitures that are made by an ocean structures have the same colors. The ease of sight! This is so amazing!
I stepped back and went to the front door. When I turned it, it immediately opened. Thank God because I really can’t help but take a good look at the inside of this house!
“Hello? Is there anyone here?” I called whoever was here but no one answered.
"I just want to tell you that your house is amazing and I love how it's made," I continued but still no one answered.
I found a glass of juice and a tuna sandwich. The juice is half full and the sandwich has been reduced so I'm sure someone is here now.
“I hope you don’t mind me entering your house. I just got curious how it looks like inside when I saw this outside.”
I rolled my eyes around the house. There's a big frames around the house. Even on the second floor, you will find abstract paintings and paintings of sunset and sea. A girl in shadow like a silhouette style but that didn’t get my full attention. I saw a painting of a girl in the very center of the house. The woman was in side view and seemed to be deliberately looking at whoever was painting her. Her genuine smile is amazing! Too carrying because even her eyes were smiling as well. She's wearing a flower crown that matches her white dress so I smile even more.
But why do I get this feeling that this girl is utterly familiar to me?
