"Alhamdulillah for still giving me a chance to live, ya Allah. Hope You ease everything today" Farah supplicates as soon as she arises from the bed.

She takes her outfit for the day and straightly makes for the bog. And once again the exhilaration gets the best of her in the morning. The second one following her is the noisy and tempestuous Raja as she hears the closet's door being closed albeit how slow-moving Farah is when she quietly opens it then shut it slowly. Yet she still comes round from her spot. The last one ensuing is none other than the altruistic and frolicsome Anne.

"Why are you taking so long, Raja? We have 2 hours to get dress and eat breakfast at 7, bruh" Anne says while banging on the door twice every second.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I'm done but my stomach doesn't feel good right now. I'll be quick, I promise" Raja responds with a wince front she holds.

"Okay, then. Take your time but be quick. I'll... wait for you" Anne replies and all of a sudden she recalls one man who warns her as she should not be here right now but nothing terrible has happened to her so far.

'Alhamdulillah... I'm still alive. But why did he come right away and tell me those?' She lightly sighs and feels relief because no one is after her after that horrible day with that bonker man. It is good what he said was not true. 'He doesn't prank me, does he? Ugh! Why would I think about it right now? What I need now is fun not this' She thought and at the same time, Raja has already done with her whoopsie so she hurriedly brings her casual apparel to the bog and eagerly it did not take long.

Shower and don clothes are done, she goes out and dries her hair. Farah wears makeup while discussing, inviting the other two to buy plenty of bread and snacks in case they are peckish when sightseeing later. They are ready for the tour around as many wonders of Tokyo awaits them. They are getting impatient as time passes by. Howbeit, they need to get breakfast first before starting the second-day tour.

They leave for a full day of sightseeing tour after the hearty breakfast at the hotel where they will discover all the marvellous wonders of the city in the company of fluent Japanese, English and Malay special guides, none other than Hairi. They will cover places such as the 5th station of mount Fuji where Michi-no-Eki Fujiyoshida, Narusawa and Katsuyama were as well as Mount Fuji itself, which will be their first ramble.

Cheerfully they walking to the car after bought plenty of bread with different types of flavour and snacks. Plus, threw their excreta from their bodies to stay out of trouble. Hairi drives them to Michi-No-Eki first where highland vegetables and local products are sold in a large parking lot. They try Fujizakura soft ice cream, Sendo Soba and Oyakh as they are very popular there. They did not stay long after done snapping pictures and recording videos. Time is ticking and they have to follow the schedule after strolling around. The next visit is the cruise at Lake Ashi. They spend precisely two hours there and move on to the next stop.

They get to ride the ropeway to Owakudani Valley or Hakone-machi which was formed by an ancient eruption, Owaku-Dani Valley features active steam vents and hot water pools. From the local ropeway stop, they navigate their way down to the active volcanic area and marvel at streams rising from many subterranean openings. They also do not miss an opportunity to try fresh Onsen Tama, soft-boiled eggs cook on the sulphur waters which feature distinctive blackened shells.

Utimately they return for the night. Hairi drives them back to their hotel yet they walk to the Shibuya Crossing to take the coolest photos before going back to their room as it is still early to sleep. The place is near as well. They dream to go to the theme park and other beautiful and hot tourism places yet pick out Hairi's agency tour instead of the first choice. They still got a final exam to be faced with next week.

Farah and Raja speak to one another while Anne laying on the bed facing their backs. While talking, both of them taste Japanese Tea and Japanese Latte Coffee they made the moment Anne took a bath. Raja bought it when they wandered at the Shibuya crossing an hour ago. They also show pictures and videos with one another but abruptly crack at this one video where Anne pulled a grotesque face as Farah demanded her to look at the camera. And of course, her unwillingness manifested in the video and turns the other way around as the anticipation of Anne's waving or smiling was crushed just like that. It is a divine memory for them. They fancy making a meme with that and crack more because of it. Anne who listens to their conversation the moment they mention her name just roll her eyeballs and seems like she is cursing in her head.

'D*mn. You sh*tters! Just wait! I'll pay back!' Anne thought.

After finishing the latte and coffee, Raja decides to go out and stroll around the hotel spesh near the swimming pool since she wants to go there yesterday but her plan tore down. By herself. She rarely does it at home and is eager to do this moment while encouraging herself. 'While I still have time doing it here... so... ya. Let's move your bum, dear self. Aye, yo! You only have one chance today' She starts walking to the door and tells them she need fresh air and closes it afterwards with a beaming front clear on her countenance.

She then moves forward to the lift and enters it as soon as it is beginning to open. When it reaches the lobby level, she steps out of it while eyes roaming ahead of her. She slowly walks and looks upfront while trying to remember where the swimming pool is located. She almost reaches there but accidentally steps on a tiny keychain covered with a yellow cloth. She steps back and squatting down eyeing the odd stone curiously. Bizarre.

"What's this? Who's the owner?" She mumbles. "This doesn't look like a keychain" She carries on while observing it and subsequently recalls something in the past. "Wait! I've seen this somewhere... but... where? Tv? Horror series? D*mmit! It's an amulet! F*ck!" She whispers and eventually realises. There is a fraught silence along the pathway. A cold breeze makes her spine-chilling to the peak. The strain on her body is as plain as a pikestaff as it is her novelty experience out of common things like this. She dashes and beat a hasty retreat without further ado. Bloody h*ck!

H*ll
