As the summer sun blazed overhead, Arlon and Liliana embarked on their journey to the distant countryside, seeking solace and renewal after the tumultuous events they had endured. The car ride was filled with anticipation and excitement as they left the bustling city behind. They eagerly looked forward to immersing themselves in the peaceful embrace of nature, hoping to find respite from the chaos that had consumed their lives. The rolling hills and vibrant green landscapes that unfolded before them only fuelled their anticipation, promising a much-needed escape from the noise and stress of urban life.

In the city, Liliana's parents would manage their grand mansion, overseeing its maintenance and daily affairs while their beloved daughter and Arlon enjoyed their well-deserved break. The responsibility of caring for the mansion was a small price to pay for the happiness of their daughter. As they drove further away from the city, the landscape transformed into picturesque rolling hills and quaint villages. The fresh air and serene surroundings instantly lifted their spirits, providing a much-needed respite from the chaos of their previous lives. They couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to escape to such a peaceful haven and reconnect with nature.

Upon reaching the countryside, they were greeted by the picturesque sight of their vacation house, a quaint lone bungalow that seemed frozen in time, reminiscent of the 1950s. The maximalist decor inside filled every corner with character, featuring an eclectic collection of plants, figurines, and artworks. The house perfectly complemented the natural beauty of the lush garden that enveloped it. The vibrant colours of the flowers and the gentle rustling of leaves created a serene atmosphere, inviting the couple to unwind and embrace the tranquillity. As they settled into their cosy retreat, they couldn't help but feel a sense of harmony between the artistic expression within the house and the organic beauty surrounding it.

Surrounded by vibrant flowers and a smattering of trees providing ample shade, the house was a serene retreat. To reach it, they had to walk along a narrow foot road for a kilometre from the highway, ensuring their privacy and seclusion. The neighbouring house was also a kilometre away, affording them peace and tranquillity. The couple marvelled at how the architecture seamlessly blended with the natural landscape, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. As they sat on the porch, sipping their morning coffee, they could hear the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant chirping of birds, further enhancing their feeling of being in harmony with nature.

20 metres away from the house is a very deep stream with a little waterfall reminiscent of that that is near Liliana's mansion where she and Arlon hang out. The sound of rushing water added a soothing element to the serene atmosphere, creating a peaceful ambience that enveloped the entire property. The couple often found themselves drawn to the stream, where they would spend hours listening to the rhythmic flow of water and feeling a sense of tranquillity wash over them. It was as if the stream held a secret power, transporting them to a world untouched by stress and worries. The stream's proximity to the house allowed Liliana and Arlon to enjoy the tranquil setting while still being able to appreciate the architectural beauty and seamless integration with nature.

The lush garden flourished under the summer sun, creating a vibrant tapestry of colours and fragrances. The solar panels, mini wind turbines, and water mill by the stream ensured that the house was self-sufficient, providing sustainable energy for their stay. In addition to the sustainable energy sources, the house also featured a state-of-the-art filtration system that purified the stream water, allowing Liliana and Arlon to indulge in refreshing swims and enjoy clean drinking water. The sound of the flowing stream provided a soothing backdrop to their outdoor activities, making their stay even more rejuvenating and harmonious with nature.

Their first day in the countryside was spent exploring the garden, basking in the serenity of their surroundings. Arlon and Liliana ventured to the stream, the soothing sound of the waterfall transporting them back to cherished memories near Liliana's mansion. The crystal-clear waters invited them for a refreshing swim, and they relished in the cool embrace of nature.
