"Barry, are you sure about not coming?" said Miguel, his sailing buddy and partner in one of his businesses.

"I am now here in Pattaya, i've already set a schedule with some folks here" he winks at Tony who now trying to run to keep up with his long steps.

"Brod, Demi-Leigh is lookinh for you and she invited some candidates. She is also friend of Tamaryn."

Barry chuckles. If he was invited before, he would probably gives in without a bat. Beauty Queens and Models... But now, those activities doesn't appeal to him anymore.

Tony becomes his constant companion. The kid was bright and talks alot of anecdotes about her sister, Yaya. He finds her character very interesting.

He promised Tony this weekend that they will fix the vintage car he bought from Germany.

"Tony, the first man who goes inside thw shop will have the last oreo ice cream in the ref" he dared.

Tony runs as fast as he can, Barry acts like he runs short allowing the kid to win their short race. He likes being around him, because he feels like being a kid again. He was forced to act like an adult at an early age and never experienced playing with kids his age.

Six hours and loads of grease after, the two was able to tinker the car. Barry thought they need more time to fix this.

Both returned to the house laughing and looking forward to their next meeting. 

"If P'Yaya is awake, we will be both facing walls and will not be eating the chocolates for a long time"

"She is harsh" Barry replied

"Uhmm not really. I pity her when she washed my clothes full of dirt. She said it is difficult to remove it." Tony explained.

"Okay, here is what we are going to do, you take a shower. Change your clothes and will do our dinner. How do you like eggs?"

"P'Barry can we eat something else? We've been eating eggs since yesterday evening.."

"What do you want?"

"I don't know? How about Barbeque?"

"Okay, let us check the fridge later" he said.

Both boys went up to clean themselves, thirty minutes later while waiting for Tony, Barry went inside Yaya's room.

"Hey" he said shyly.

He finds himself talking to Yaya for quite sometime after learning that tony talks to her when he has problems or felt being down.

He finds Yaya's presence comforting. He wonders how she will react to his concerns if she is awake.

"Tony and I did the car. That is actually my dream car and I want to restore it. Tony's been a big help. Handing me tools and cleaning some portions of the car. I promise it is safe.
I like your brother." He smiles

"Sorry, we were really greasy and dirty after checking the car. Tony said, youll be mad. you are scary when you are angry."

He just watched the girl and got no response. The girl seems to be sleeping.

Her oxygen mask is now gone, bruises are now less visible, the wound kn her shoulders and arms are now closing, completely healing.

He slowly touches the wound, and said.." i am  sorry, you experienced this. My uncle most especially me fully regret what happened on that morning. There are so many what ifs. I hope and pray that you will forgive me. , i will do everything to earn your forgiveness" he said sincerely.

He now holds her hands, and amazingly it felt good. Their hands fits perfectly. Its warm and very natural for him to hold her.

He looks at her face, she has long lashes, her nose so prominent but cute. He wonders if this nose, crunches when he smiles or dosappointed or angry. She got  luscious lips, he wonders what she actually looks like when she smiles. He saw her pictures, but got no clear picture. Tony said she hates to take pictures. Her beauty grows in you, the more you look at her, the more uou appreciate her beauty.

"Barry?!" Tony called.

Barry immediately let go of Yaya's hands.

"You okay now?" He asked "come on, lets grill some meat."

Tony comes inside and kissed Yaya's cheeks.

"Yes" he answered him smiling.

Barry went out of the door followed by Tony. When Tony was about to close the door, he showed a thumb up sign to his P'Yaya.
