Destined to be together

Chapter 42

Ever since Mikha and Aiah had their heartfelt talk, their relationship now is more open to a new beginning as being friends. The awkwardness faded, and they enjoyed the moments together. The entire drives they just talk some random stories until they have reached the resort.

Their friends arrived first, stretching out themselves from the long drive. They all looked surprised seeing the two laughing when they got off the car. Mikha started unloading their stuff, and Aiah was helping her.

They walked past the trio and Mikha whispered to them, "Guys, you are all drooling, close your mouth, will you!" Smirking, and left.

The trio were dumbfounded, thinking they were was the one being played this time. All shaking their heads but smiling, they know that this was the beginning for the two lost souls.

The group was in awe when they saw the resort, the entire place and the finishing touches appeared luxurious. The area has a massive private driveway that can accommodate over 10 cars all at once. In the middle of the resort is a log cabin house featured comprising 3 floors, an open hall next to the house and 4 additional cottages after. One long pool at the back with a barbecue area and a bar, plus a lovely beach front and an open lounge with a bonfire place in the middle and another barbecue area on one side.

The group will stay in the main house. Maloi and Colet gave their keys for their respective rooms. All four rooms have a king-size bed with lounges, 3 rooms on the 2nd floor, one for Colet – Maloi, Gwen – Sheena, Jho & Stacey and on the 3rd floor is a big attic intended for Mikha and Aiah.

The last pair never protested to swapping rooms any more, they knew they won't allow them, anyway. They had their late lunch after and agreed to have a barbecue and bonfire later on. For the meantime, they went to their respective rooms to rest and sort out their clothes.

In the attic, Mikha let Aiah to sort out her stuff first after bringing their bags. She said she wants to walk on the beach first and get some fresh air. Aiah just nodded and carried on unpacking. While walking, Mikha's phone started ringing, appearing Jazz name in the caller ID. She answered right away, "Hi, Love! Why are you up early? It's just 4am there?" Mikha said, a bit worried.

"I miss you! I can't wait to join you there to meet your family and friends. Are you in the resort now?" Jazz stated.

"Me too love, soon you are going to see them. Yes, we just arrived, and it's beautiful here. I might ask Ate Maloi and Ate Colet to find me available space for sale close by". Mikha shared. They talked some more until Mikha heard a yawn escaped from Jazz, and she encouraged her to go back to sleep again. Mikha never shared the information about Aiah joining them at the resort. She knows she will be in trouble once Jazz finds out. But she wants to use this time to think first and enjoy being this close to Aiah while she can.

Aiah saw Mikha from their room, talking over the phone. She did not need to guess who it was, and she felt a pinch of jealousy, looking at how Mikha smiled while responding to the call. Mentally debating if she needed to tell Mikha something significant that will affect their relationship. Aiah release a long sign and blurted out.... PATIENCE... PATIENCE AIAH, when the time is right, you can tell her.

Mikha started walking along the coastline, throwing random stones back at the sea. The warm weather embracing her whole being and the humid air touching her skin calm her heart and soul. The bright blue sky above encouraged her to close her eyes and to whisper her prayers.

Then a vanilla scent invaded her nostrils, showing that the person who keeps bugging in her head is now standing beside her. She opened her eyes and saw Aiah staring at her, wearing her wonderful smile that always melts her heart away and it hits her with the feeling of "HOME".
