Nostalgic Incident

The scenery was breathe taking as the sun slowly vanishing from the horizon. Kim rest her both hands in the railings as she looked towards the scenery. She was in her deep thoughts, thinking back what her sister just told her.

Earlier before they get back to the villa, Kim was looking straight at Zen who was still eating her dessert. She was taken aback by the fact that Zen already have a friend aside from her friends.

"You look like you are surprised that I have a secret friend. Well you know me sis, I'm not a stuck up person when it comes meeting new people around me."

"I'm not forbidding you to have other friends than mine, but I'm just curious who is this person you are calling a secret friend. Am I not allowed to know?"

"Okay, okay, I know you are just too protective. Anyway, I am going to introduce him sooner but I think I might just tell his name."

"So its a him, Who is he?"

"Ethan, I just know his name since we just chatted for a short time. I met him just the last party we attended. He seems a gentleman so I welcomed him to talk for a while with me" she carelessly answered, but it only gave Kim a deep thought. The name ring through her, 'It can't be that man, what is he planning now?'.

"Don't worry you'll meet him. For now, what are you going to do with Eric who was just right here." Zen asked right back to her, wiping her mouth with a tissue.

As Zen finnished saying it, Kim looked back in Eric's direction but to her surprise he was no longer there. She tried to find him but she failed. 'Where could he go? He could be gone home already, which would likely to happen if his business here is done. I hope he's still around here.'

Back where she is, the sun already gone from the horizon.

"Sis, they are looking for you. If you don't get out right now, I will eat your share" Zen called out for her as she entered the room. Her mouth was already stuffed with a grilled meat.

"I'm sorry for taking my time in here, I'll be going then" as soon as she saw the food and smelled it, her stomach growled. It looks like she was already hungry from thinking too much.

She followed Zen towards the yard where they are having a barbeque party. As soon as they reached the place, she catch a glimpse of a certain person.

"...Eric?" 'How is he here with them? Am I too delusional that I even keep on seeing him?'

"Don't worry sis you are not imagining things. Riz just invited an old friend she have when she was in her middle school and it happens to be the girl, which was the couple earlier with Eric." she whispered to her, they are still not yet noticed they've arrived. Zen make her initiative and dragged her in the seat near Eric. That was a fast move from her. Kim suddenly felt nervous. All of a sudden her growling stomach could be heard, it made Eric look towards her.

"Here, have some of these." he suddenly offered her few grilled meat from his plate.

Eric was already full from the food he already ate earlier, he was troubled how he was going to put down his plate with still much in it. Earlier he could not refuse to accept all the girls offered to him. Good thing his problem been answered, but he suddenly felt a nostalgia from it.

"Oh your also here, Kim. Are you with them?" He was surprised to see her, he never thought he would met many people he knew.

"Ah... Yeah, I'm with them." she answered shortly while eating slowly, too shy to eat to her content.

"When did you came here? Have you enjoyed the place?" Since, Eric's friend was too busy talking with their old friend, he just tried to make a conversation with Kim.

"Just this morning.Well, yeah, the place was great. How about you? How long have you been here?"

"Almost a couple of week"

"What made you come here? and stayed that long?" Kim just act that she have no idea about it.

"Well, I was planning on expanding some investment and tried to check things out before doing it. Well how about you, what made you guys come here?"

"We are having a break for a while. This place seems to have a high recommendation so didn't hesitate to choose the place."

"Is that so, you did the right choice. As I was staying to this place its seems very relaxing. The services are great also. They also have so much outdoor activities to enjoy too..." Kim unconsciously stairing at Eric's face while he still describes the place.

"...so I can tell that my stay here is really great." he ended, he noticed Kim face was still on him. That's when she realized her act.

"Oh, sorry... I ... was... ahm... reimagine what you described the place. Indeed it was good to hear that from you. We will going to have great time staying here."

"Good thing you considered my opinions. I thought I have just bored you from my long speech."

"Oh no you didn't."

They continued on having some other conversation. Until it was already midnight.

"Good night guys, thanks for inviting us to come over" the couples bid farewell towards them.

"Good night, Eric"

"Have a good night too, Kim, thanks for accompanying me for tonight." they all wave their hands to them as their car moved away.

"How is it sis? Am I not gonna recieved a thank you?"

"What are you talking about?"

"If had not dragged you, you will remain standing there and would not have talk to him."

"Well I can't argue with that. Thanks for backing me up Zen" Kim pat Zen's head. It made Zen smile and hugged her.

"Why the sudden embrace?"

"I'm just happy for you sis"

Kim entered her room with a smile plastered on her face.
