Sometimes its about the soul

"Is it yours or rented?" As she fastened her safety belt, Cathrin questioned.

"It was the one of the first things I bought when I became rich." said Robin.

"That's great. You can rent it whenever you want." Cathrin remarked because she was aware that private planes could always be hired and did so frequently for absurd sums of money.

"I can. But I don't rent it as of now. Maybe I'll do it if I have no money." Robin responded. Whether it made money or not really didn't matter to him. He only cared about comfort and leading a happy existence. And that was another great thing that Emily and Cassandra, the air hostesses liked. Normally, they would be employed by both the rented individuals and the proprietor of the aircraft. But in this case, they were compensated for virtually nothing. They actually wanted to go and work because they had been in Malaysia for so long and had been doing nothing.

The amount of time Emily and Cassandra spent in the country actually forced them to live in a rented home for few months to live. Due to the limited room, living in a hotel was always a little problematic.

Cathrin and Robin chirped like new love birds while Sigret and Myrene sat behind and went through their electronic tabs made by Brotherhood. After the Brotherhood seized control, they produced electronics for Robin and others to provide the highest level of security and safety. Even though JARVIS and Sigret always managed internet security, a "human"-made device was only capable of so much.

Brotherhood created technology that was more effective, quicker, and had an extended battery life. Robin had long since ceased using his iPhone, and he adored the new phone that the Brotherhood created in collaboration with Ark technology. Due to its solar panels on the rear, the new phone only required charging once per week and could do so using solar energy.

Robin was overjoyed for someone who was obsessed with his phone's battery. He had believed that once he became wealthy, he would cease worrying about things like whether his phone was charged or how often he needed to take a shower, but amazingly, it didn't. Even though he could use magic and clean himself with just a stroke of his wand, he still enjoyed taking showers twice daily.

Through their conversation, the air hostesses learned that the new lady was actually the owner's girlfriend, which surprised them. Sigret and Myrene had been excellent women and had been with Robin for a very long time, but it seems that they were unable to catch his interest. and out of nowhere, a new female managed to win Robin's heart.

Really weird, this guy was!

Cathrin and Robin each received a glass of champagne from Emily. Robin typically avoided drinking, but when he did, it was usually champagne or wine.

"I need to take some pictures of this. For my own personal collection." Cathrin grinned as she gave Robin her phone to take some photos.

"Private collection? Will you not post to Instagram?" As he began shooting photos and she began posing differently for the camera, Robin was perplexed.

"My business is primarily focused on workout, games, and clothing. What benefit would it have for my brand? People will only assume that I am being compensated in millions or that I have found a sugar daddy as a result. I like to keep my private life secret even though I don't really care what they think."

"Private life? You included some of my travel photos in your story, and some random men DMed me asking if I were your boyfriend." With a smirk on his face, Robin responded.

"Then tell them the truth or ignore them." Cathrin responded as she took a sip, continued to pose, and snapped selfies for herself.

The journey was a long one so later both of them jumped into the bed and switched on the video game to pass time. This time, they chose a game designed specifically for couples and enjoyed themselves as the aircraft flew rapidly over a vast ocean and through white clouds.

For Rita and her fiance, things were a disaster back in India. For the visitors who would be traveling, they had to prepare for passports, visas, and everything else. It was Sigret who stepped forward and snuck onto the secret government computers to speed up the procedure. She really took care of Robin's tech needs.

The pair and the new family took a flight to Italy because the plane was already booked. Naturally, Robin and his crew would arrive in Italy before his cousin because he wanted to ensure that the preparations were adequate.

Although Robin had been to Italy before, so it wasn't unfamiliar to him, after the aircraft touched down, Robin could clearly see the gleam in Cathrin's eyes. She had an insatiable curiosity and inspected everything like a young child with a new toy. The car was already waiting for them in the parking slot. the same vehicle that they traveled across all of Europe in.

Porsche Cayenne.

"Wasn't this the car you traveled in throughout Europe?" Cathrin focused her gaze on it and questioned.

"Yup. Why?" Robin enquired. This lady really obsessively followed his Instagram.

"No, nothing." After placing the baggage in the trunk, Cathrin said as she fastened her seatbelt.

They then departed for Tuscany by horseback. where the ceremony would take place. He refused to remain at the airport to greet them, so Emily and Cassandra were given the responsibility. The two flight hostesses would receive additional compensation to welcome the visitor and then direct them to Tuscany. Two enormous vehicles were also reserved for this.

The sun was about to set when they arrived in the late afternoon. The Borgo Finocchieto was chosen as the location for the ceremony. Many people made reservations at this opulent home turned boutique for a variety of events. This villa was once held by a former US ambassador to Italy who purchased it in 2001 and turned it into a sizable high-end guesthouse.

The villa appeared to be prepared to receive visitors when Robin arrived in his vehicle. There were those who had already redecorated the house in an Italian and Indian-inspired manner.

Even Robin was moved by the decorated villa; he even had admiration in his gaze.

"This is s beautiful..." Cathrin said while looking around in wide eyes.

"They outdid themselves." Sigret said.

"Well, we paid the designer enough." said Robin. The girls gave Robin a disgusted expression as if he had said something inappropriate.

"What?" -Robin

"It's not always about money." -Myrene.

"Sometimes its about the soul." – Catharin.

The villa's chief butler approached them as they were arguing and, after requesting the credentials, welcomed them inside. The chief butler needed to make sure that the guests were taken care of because he knew that this new party was wealthy because they had made their reservations with full payment. He had hosted numerous Indian weddings here, so he was familiar with how to greet the Indian visitors.

However, he was surprised to see that Robin was the only Indian present, while everyone else appeared to be of European and Eastern descent. Of course, he didn't inquire. The house was toured by Robin and the others. There were enough rooms in the villa—22 in total—for the visitors to reside comfortably. Robin expressed his complete satisfaction with everything and thanked the steward for handling everything.

Later that evening, his relatives did show up. Robin, Cathrin, and others were waiting at the entrance to greet them this time. The villa was lit up with more than enough lights and night time actually made the villa look more luxurious and beautiful. Rita was in awe of the wedding location when she stepped off the bus. Although she had seen the photos before, seeing it in person was a different story.

She hugged Robin with a big grin on her face after a brief pause. She felt incredibly appreciative of what he had done for her. The location appeared to have surpassed even the most extravagant expectations of the majority of the girls, who had visions of the ideal wedding in their heads.

"Thank you."

"You are welcome."

After she got out of the bus, it was Robin's parents. Together with Robin's mother, the father was astounded. They weren't prepared for the location to be so lovely.

"Son, you have made us proud." The father could only say that much. They initially believed their son was squandering money on such a wedding, especially since it was for someone else. They had an inkling that their boy had "made it" in life when they learned that even the plane they were on was a private one and could support more than just small indulgences.

"Hahaha... Dad... Thanks.. Umm this is Cathrin.. My girlfriend... " As he was feeling a little shy, Robin said and shifted the subject.
