"Ok, let's go to the next scene." the director said after she changed her clothes and retouched her make-up. "Neli, Sir Caleb, please go to the water up to your waist!"
Neli's body stiffened after she heard what the director said, she was already in the part of the sea where the water was above her knees, and suddenly felt scared thinking that she needs to go further. She took a deep breath to calm herself and walked a little further, but when she felt the water on her waist, she suddenly remembered the accident that happened to her when she was young. She felt a slight tightness in her chest as if she couldn't breathe, her knees were shaking under the water as she remembered the feeling of drowning while flapping her hands desperately to lift her body out of the water.
"Neli, what's wrong?" it was only then that she caught her breath when she suddenly heard Caleb's worried voice. "Are you alright?"
"I... I-I'm... alright."
She wanted to calm herself down but she couldn't stop her body from trembling in fear when she looked at the water below her. She didn't know what to do, she didn't want to cause any problems with their shooting but she couldn't move her body. She wanted to scream and ask for help, but no voice came out of her mouth.
Until she felt someone suddenly lifted her up, and when she turned to see who it was, she was surprised to see that it was Caleb.
"What... are you doing?" she asked. "Let go of--."
"Stop it." she quickly closed her mouth when she saw the worry on Caleb's face. "You might fall."
She was surprised yet relieved when she suddenly felt her body become relaxed, all her fear and worries slowly disappeared while she was in Caleb's arms so she just let him carry her until they reached the shore.
"Director Santos, can we just shoot the next scene near the shore?" Caleb asked the director who immediately agreed, perhaps he got afraid because of what happened to her.
Their shooting became successful even though they didn't follow the scenes on the manuscript because of her and Caleb doings, but the director was still happy with the outcome and said that he will make their advertisement perfect.
All the crew members were happy as well because they only took half a day to finish their shooting so they still had time to rest until tomorrow afternoon, she also needed to take a rest and have enough sleep as she will do a photoshoot the next day before sunset.
When they reached their room in the hotel, Neli felt hungry so they decided to go to the buffet hall to eat their dinner. They were about to enter the buffet hall when she suddenly saw Caleb standing in front of the door, he seemed like he was waiting for someone. Until now she still doesn't know what her ex-husband was doing there, and they even have the same hotel.
"Can I join you for dinner?" he suddenly asked her with a smile.
She didn't answer, she just went straight inside the buffet hall. Why would he suddenly want to join her for dinner, when he never did that even once when they were married.
Hazel suddenly entered her mind, Neli was sure that she would find a way to mess with her again once she found out that they were together. It's better for her to distance herself from him, and hoping that tonight will be the last time she will see him because he's not part of her photoshoot tomorrow.
She doesn't want trouble anymore and she's happy now with her life without him.
Am I?
Neli suddenly remembers their scene earlier, their acts are so natural while they are happily playing in the water. Their laughter sounds so genuine that nobody will think that they are just acting, she also noticed that there were some tourists who were watching them but they didn't mind them. She couldn't believe that she could still laugh as hard as she did earlier while they were doing their scene, she also remembered the way he got worried about her and carried her to the shore, perhaps he noticed that she was scared to go to the deep part of the sea.
