A LOVELY JOURNEY

Vania looked at Hayam who was still asleep by her side. Her fingers gently caressed the man's hair. Vania's smile broke out like a shy rosebud in the morning. She was grateful that she managed to calm Hayam's emotions last night.

Honestly, Vania couldn't fight with Hayam for too long. The man was too nice to argue with. Moreover, Hayam has never tried to hurt Vania all this time.

"Honey, how long are you going to play with my hair?" said Hayam.

Vania woke up from her daydream. Her gaze dropped towards Hayam's face. He didn't seem to have fully opened his eyes. Up close, Vania could clearly see the lines of aging on Hayam's face.

"You really are old, aren't you," commented Vania.

Vania's words, of course, did not match Hayam's rebuke. Even so, Hayam replied with a small smile on his face.

"You hate this old man?" replied Hayam. He opened his eyes and looked closely at Vania's face.

"I like you but I don't like it when you're too jealous," said Vania. "Forget everything about Dio, okay? I already said that after this I will only focus on you." Hayam nodded. "Yeah, I will forget him as long as you forget him,"

Hayam got up from his sleep. The man removed the blanket that covered him. His hands grabbed the towel on the table and put it on to cover his lower body so he wouldn't look completely naked.

"I want to take a shower and go to a village service event. Do you want to join?"

"I'm not working as a journalist anymore. Do you think I can come with you?" Vania replied. She gave her sweet smile to Hayam.

"You're here, no problem. Later at nine, I will come back here to have breakfast and prepare to go to the waterfall with you, "explained Hayam.

His hand took his cell phone on the table. There were several incoming calls from his assistant and deputy in the regent election. "I have to hurry."

"Careful. Don't fall and slip," shouted Vania reminding her. Vania still wrapped her body in the bed. She just grabbed her phone and played with it.

There are several messages and emails coming in. One of them is an incoming email from Rosa.

Rosa told Vania to stay in the office next Monday. However, she did not provide details regarding Vania's resignation. Vania took a deep breath. Actually she had no intention of going to the office tomorrow Monday. She still wanted to relax for about a week in this villa.

Vania's tiredness has indeed been reduced by half thanks to Hayam. Even so, she still wanted to relax.

"Honey, I'm leaving first," said Hayam. The man approached Vania and landed a sweet kiss on Vania's forehead.

"Hurry home, huh! I can't wait to play in the waterfall with you," replied Vania.

"Yes," Hayam smiled sweetly at Vania. His heart melted with joy seeing Vania being spoiled by him.

As a man, Hayam prefers to see his partner being spoiled by him. This made Hayam feel like a strong and responsible man in front of his partner.

Hayam took his bag. The man stepped out of the room.

Vania immediately removed the blanket from her body. She tidied the bed and cleaned herself up.

When she came out of the bathroom, she was already wearing a bikini. She intended to spend her morning having breakfast by the pool and taking some selfies.

Vania often sees stylish people like that and uploads them on social media. She also wanted to do the same. After all, she is a young woman who wants to enjoy happy times. It's useless to work hard if you never feel the happiness of life.

"It seems my life will be really happy together with Hayam," Vania murmured at the pool while enjoying her breakfast.

She likes her morning breakfast filled with fruit and vegetable salad. After breakfast, Vania decided to sunbathe. She wore sunglasses and enjoyed the warmth of the morning sun. The color of the sky looks bright. There are no moving clouds. A sign that today is perfect for having fun.

Vania decided to just sunbathe for a while. She immediately scrubs so that her body smells good and takes a bath. Her hands moved swiftly to look at herself in the mirror.

It's been a long time that Vania hasn't dressed up pretty. Every day she just wakes up and takes a shower. Every now and then she would put on sunscreen, powder, and lipstick. However, she never wore full makeup like this.

"My face is really georgeous! I regret that I rarely dress up and don't take selfies," Vania muttered in front of the mirror. Her face was a little sullen. Even so, that sullen expression did not make her beauty less.

"Right. You are beautiful," someone said.

Vania was surprised to hear the voice. She turned and looked at the bedroom door. Hayam was seen smiling and waving at Vania.

"Hey, you're home already!" Vania immediately looked at the clock on the wall in the room. It's now 9 in the morning. Hayam approached Vania and gave a black plastic.

Vania accepted and checked it. There is traditional food typical of rural areas there.

"I got a lot of food. I remember that you like traditional food so I brought it for you," said Hayam.

"We can eat it at the waterfall later," Vania smiled broadly. Her right hand touched Hayam's left cheek. Her feet tiptoed and her lips moved to kiss Hayam's lips.

Hayam's hands hugged Vania's hips. His face lowered and returned the intimate kiss that Vania gave to him.

"We'll end up in bed if we keep kissing like this," said Hayam after he stopped kissing Vania's lips.

Vania's crisp laugh was heard. "I've finished dressing pretty and preparing my backpack for today's adventure. You shouldn't disappoint me, okay?" Vania replied.

Today Vania wants to take a walk and enjoy the freshness of the waterfall. She didn't want to be distracted and ended up making love all day with Hayam in this room.

Hayam nodded. He hugged Vania's body and led her out of the room.

Because the distance between the villa and the waterfall was close, they could only get there on foot. Of course, this walk can make the makeup that Vania wears wear off. That's why she wore a hat so she wouldn't sweat too much.

The journey to the waterfall is very beautiful. They passed through the village forest area and occasionally met little monkeys hanging from the trees.

There are many colorful butterflies scattered around enjoying the honey from the wildflower plants. They also passed by a rice field irrigated from a natural river. There are some fish among the rice fields and the natural river. Rows of giant river rocks look beautiful for just selfie photos.

"I want a photo!" said Vania excitedly. She gave her cell phone and backpack to Hayam. Then, she went down to the river and climbed the river stone.

Hayam chuckled seeing Vania who looked childish. It was like going on a trip with a young daughter.

He took some beautiful photos of Vania on the river, the green rice fields, and on the river stone.

"Come on down!" call Hayam. "The waterfall is near."

"Okay!" said Vania. She approached Hayam. Her hands were wet and cold from the river water tightly gripping Hayam's dry and warm hands. Vania clings to the man spoiled. She enjoyed the journey that felt refreshing to her mind and heart.
