_The Shack...

"What the hell! This... you called...you tell us The Shack? What kind of shack is this? The luxurious one or what?"

Danny keep on rambling and mumbling non-stop! Too much unbelievable-ly faces he put out for us. Smiling and laughing like a crazy person. Himself showed much like a Po the panda but double excited compared to the cartoon character.

For both of us, Romeo especially... didn't feel a thing right now because at first he was like Danny but I could say...much worse than that and now...he was neutral.

So much to be seen so nothing special about this place for him anymore. I guess so...

But he still fascinating about the open pool! How much he love the scenery from the shack's pool area.

Well, the rectangle pool was built to face the sea and actually...used the ocean itself as the source for bathing. The pool elegently designed slantly facing the ocean. When lower tide, the pool were fill till the edge of the dark glass (the body of the pool not the tiles) but when the high tide, it's simply to said overflowing with the current. What a perfect view of sunrise and sunset!

The shack built-in near much to the shore line actually more to filled of coral reefs and fish habitats, hidden from the wild wave of the open ocean. The enclosed bay area makes the water a little bit calmer than the wide open sea and thus avoids from any danger, so far...

The house is also equipped with the latest disaster warning system to provide residents with the opportunity to save themselves as well as essential items from disaster, literally.

What a perfect house, right!

"Can I stay with you here?" Danny making a cute face to me making me stop narrating about the house.

"Nope!" I reply it with flat tone.

"Can we have a family meal once a while here?" another attempt.

"Maybe..."

"Can we hang out here when you feel bored..." the third.

"Perhaps?" I keep on teasing him.

"Can—"

"Enough with all that, Dan! We can rest out our head at the pool. The scenery...beyond comparison, dude!" say Romeo elbowing Danny's rib.

"And will you stop hurting my body? It's hurt like a b***h, bro! Was you sharpened your elbow this time?" Danny gave Romeo his usual stupid faces.

I let out small chuckled and unlocked the main door.

Taraaa!!!

Here we go again!

Bamboos everywhere in it's glory neutral golden colour, spread organize-ly everywhere. Then, came with off white in colour of every piece of clothing including curtain, sofa cover... everything with the trace of tiny flowers in gold. Then with wooden crafted furniture and accessories.

Did I mentioned about bamboos? Yeah... bamboos and rattan art handicrafts mostly in the house. Lady boss exclaimed with more like authentic Asian style. Hmm...I couldn't agreed more to her saying.

It's also completed with soft rugs everywhere. For me, it's kind of plain but comfortable one and I did love it. The house itself not to big and not to small because boss and his lady always be with themselves not having any children and happy with it.

They did pregnant but all of four times were being miscarriages. Then, lady boss aka my aunt did gave up and my uncle just gone with that. He doesn't want to see his wife struggling to have a baby and really wants to see the wife happy of what they have.

If God really want them to have a baby...it will and if not...keep going with our life and be happy with anything surrounding us. Making our own mesmerizing memories and etc. That's what my uncle said it to me and leaving me with very thoughtful mental notes.

—You can create the dreams but in the end you got to chase the reality because it's everything. Dreams can be created to the reality but reality can never changed into a single dream, that's nothing!—

Back to the house...

Much the colourful decoration came in the form of tapestries, wallflower, picture frames and other geometrical accessories.

"Wow... beautiful! Last time I checked none of this existed! What happened actually, babe?"

Romeo's eyes wandering everywhere. While Danny ooh-ing and ahh-ing with every single items he sees.

Romeo was right, it's really captivating my eyes about how the minimalist it's look from the colour scheme but too luxury about the stuff here.

"I don't know...maybe they pay someone to change all this to new looks. I don't know..."

We walked to the kitchen and found a envelope attached on the fridge got magnetic with cute little baby faces magnet.

To my lovely niece from us boss & the lady *love* *love*

That's what it written on the envelope with bright red love shape in marker pen. The smell still strong.

From the writing I could knew that that was from the lady! I did recognised her writing style because she's a left-handed person.

"Open it!" Danny hurrying me up to open the A5 size white envelope.

There...her writings again.

"Read it!" Romeo nudge me on my elbow, rushing me to read the letter.

I opened the half folded foolscap paper with a few pages!

Wow, such a long notes for me.

___________&___________

I smiled throughout the letter.

My favourite aunt truly funny on expressing her feeling for me because only me she could be like that NOT on to anyone else. Never!

"Wow...babe! It's yours!" Danny clapping and jumping like a kindergarten child right now. I chuckled getting with his antics and Romeo hug my shoulder when I read the letter.

"Congratulations! We should having some eating festive here to welcome you right? That's sounds fun!" Romeo gave me widely smile.

My heart fluttering and overwhelmed filling in my system. I have never thought about all this and of course never asked to have all this just for myself. It's too much!

"Hey...you should be happy, babe. Why are you crying?" Romeo concerned and take a step back before placing both his straight hands on my shoulders. He facing me.

"This is a happy tears...but it's all in here. I don't know what to say..." the dam broke even more. I cried because the feeling mixed up together.

I did happy but sad because both my uncle and Aunt not here.

I did happy but both my parents no longer here to celebrate with me.

I did happy because my most favourite person always be here but I felt empty instantly when they leave me alone get back to their life.

Got everything swirling in togetherness.

Romeo removed the tears. He hugged me and patting my back without saying a word and I felt another pressure on my back. I know, Danny hugging me too.

We all silence and I still shed my tears until I hiccuping. Soon, the tears stopped and I composed myself back.

"There she goes...feeling content now?" Danny released me from his embraces. So as Romeo.

I nodded, "Yeah—thanks!".

I swept away my tear's trailing down my faces and smiling- hiccuping towards them both.
