"Hold my hand and come with me please." A man begged in his hoarse voice with his shattered heart.

"Go and take care, love. I am destined to be swallowed in the sea, i have to go down with the ship. And this is what I have always desired." he smiled towards the wailing man with a calm and quiet face.

"Dad..what..?" He looked at his dad in astonishment and tried to find a answer in his dad's shining eyes.

"Ayyiio honey who could say that this stupid, confused bunny is the CEO of our company." Zhan's mom chortled and smacked his head playfully.

"Mommm" Zhan pouted making a sulking face but laughed heartily when the two looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"Dear son, we want you to enjoy your vacation through this four day cruise to xisha islands. We know you love travelling and wanted to go on a cruise since a long time but you always prioritise your work over your desires and hobbies."
