Star * Heart

Chapter 16

the more we spent time together.. the more fun we had

After an agreement reached, we went to a nearby country for our holiday training camp. The camping resort is situated at a country side near the beach. Of course, I bring along my camera. We went there with One's var. Well, I don't know whose van did he 'stole' but, it came to use. The caravan, fit all of us together. The Coffees + Rhytmn. One and Tod drove us in turns to the destination. It took about 4 hours to arrived. Surprisingly, I doesn't fall asleep! That was a record. For me.

'wah!! the beach! the ocean!' my excitement shouting woke those who fell asleep. Harry who wasn't asleep at the time laughed. 'you're too exited' he said. He was sitting on front of me. The girls are sitting at the back of the caravan. Honestly, we thought that we might die lack of air there at the back. It's hard to breathe.

'we;ve arrived, everyone' said Tod waking every one up. 'welcome to my Uncle's resort' said One in excitement. Every one are amazed seeing the beach and the ocean. It's sparkling. Well, since we arrived at the late evening, the sun almost set. As the caravan stopped, we went out from it. 'ahh..this feels good' I said while doing a stretching. 'tired of driving, Sheira?' mocked One. I turned to him and said, 'yeah..my back hurts. I've been driving for hours' I said. One laughed. Same goes to Tod. 'that's an assault' he said. I laughed. 'come, let's go and meet my uncle and his family' said One leading the way. We took our bags with us along.

As we're walking together toward a building, I took a lot of photos of the scenery. Rena giggles seeing me like that. 'this is definitely you' she said to me. 'huh? what?' I asked not understanding what she meant. After a while walking, we arrived at the entrance of the building. It looks like a resort building. 'hey, One..it's very classic..the resort' said Muaz. 'yes. Our family like it this way' he said. 'traditional is better, I assume' agrees Zaeim. I turned to Harry who was silent for a while. He was looking around toward the beach.

'Oh, you've arrived? It's late too' a middle-age lady welcomed us by the entrance. 'hye, aunt' said One hugging the lady gently. 'these are my friends' he introduce us to her. 'guys, this is my aunt' he said introducing her to us too. 'oh my, so many youngster. I'm blushing' he joked. We smiled. 'she got humor' i said to myself. 'just called my aunt Aggie' she said. 'come on, in' she said again. We were lead to a lobby of the building, it is a one storey building. While waiting for Aunt Aggie bring our room keys, we were served with snacks and drinks.

'it's huge for a country-side resort' said Shila suddenly. 'family business?' I asked while looking at One. He nods. 'this is awesome..I wonder what kind of part time job are we getting?' said Ash being excited. 'ahh..I forgot about the part time job, already' said Goo. We laughed.

'here, you room keys. Two person in a room' said Aunt Aggie as soon as she came back. She gives out the keys to us. 'hey, Harry. I'll be staying in the same room as One' said Muaz. 'good idea. You've been my roommate for a while. It's always been your face' laughed Harry. 'that's the point' said Muaz agreeing. 'go and rest in your room first. later, we will have dinner together, okay' said Aunt Aggie. We nod. 'by the way, aunt. Where is uncle?' asked One. 'he will be back later. He got an urgent matter at the town'

I stayed in the same room as Rena. We got comfortable quickly. 'did your roommates asked anything?' asked Rena. 'nothing. They understood after I explain the purposes of this camp' I said. Rena smiled. 'you still did not tell them about Harry?' asked Rena. I went silent for a while. 'I told them his my friend. nothing about the arrangement meet' I explained. That's how the talk about it ends. After that I went to take a bath.

Waiting for Rena might take a while, so I went for a stroll at the resort building. My towel was still around my neck, my hair is not dry yet. I went to a balcony and saw the ocean through it. I smiled. I dried my hair while enjoying the scenery. It was a blessed being there. Ah, I saw my parents face. I missed them. I missed my annoying elder sister too. While I was being indecisive, someone bumped onto me. 'ah!'

'oppps, sorry. You're too small to be notice' said a familiar voice. I lifted my head up. 'Harry! You did that on purpose!' I said. Harry stick his tongue out. 'you!' I hit him with my towel. 'oh, God, Sheira! The towel is still wet! Gosh!' he got mad. 'oh, you're mad?' I asked him. He glares at me. 'that's how I felt just now. You didn't even appologize' I said turning away from him. He grabbed my hand. I froze.

'you know..' he paused. I blushed.

'you're too small to be angry..look, look..I can even swing you around' said Harry while swinging my arms. I became unstable because of it. Man, I got pissed!

'arghh!' he screamed after I kicked his leg. I left him in despair. 'idiot' I said and left him.

While I was walking, leaving him, I saw Aunt Aggie at a corner. She was watching what happened. 'oh, boy..I just showed her my tomboyish attitude..that's not good' I said to myself. Aunt Aggie smiled. 'you two have a very interesting relationship' she said. 'no..not really' I said avoiding the eye-contact. She smiles. 'I am a mother, I can see' she said. She stares at me. 'anyway, let's gather at the lobby, my husband wants to me you all' she added and left. As that time, Harry arrived near me. I glares at him.

'dude, go and call every one.. Aunt Aggie want to meet' I said leaving him again. 'geez, that girl..how much devilish can she be' said Harry. 'I heard that!' I said. Harry sighed.

At the lobby, everyone gather. 'guys, this is my uncle' said One introducing his uncle, Aunt Aggie's husband. 'hello, youngster. just call me Uncle Osin' he said introducing himself. His gaze paused at Harry. 'oh, you looked like me when I was young. I'm that handsome, right?' he said giggling while glancing to his wife. We laughed. 'alright, let's be serious. Tomorrow, you all will work at my beach cafe, and also as promoter. Promote this resort at the beach to the visitors and tourists there. Understand?' he briefed a little about our part-time work. 'I will divide your tasks and give them to you tomorrow' added Aunt Aggie.

The short meeting ends, we took a night stroll at the beach lead by Aunt Aggie. I was walking with Rena next to me. We glances at Ash and Fira who are getting along very well. We smiles as we are happy for them. They suited each other. Suddenly, I felt someone kicked the sand toward the back of my feet. I stopped and turned back. Harry was being dump. Acting like he doesn't do it. I ignored him and continue my walking and he did it again. My patient reached to the limit and I began chasing him. Of course, he ran away as I did that.

'does those two..have something up to their sleeves?' asked Aunt Aggie toward Rena. Rena smiles. 'they seems like it, right?' said Rena. 'my instinct is strong' added Aunt Aggie. 'well, the truth is....'

'it's like that?' Aunt Aggie stares at both of me and Harry
