Pure heart

Crystal could only surrender when Reagan finished the delicious food that was in front of them without leftovers, like people who haven't eaten for days Reagan devoured without the rest of the typical Balinese food served as their first meal at the resort.

"Find out who the chef is who cooked the meal."

"Why, what do you want to do to that chef?" asked Crystal curiously.

"I want to thank him for making such delicious food," Reagan answered honestly. "The way to appreciate a chef is to praise his work directly and I wanted to do that."

Crystal blinked her eyes, Reagan's words left her speechless. It was the first time she had heard of such a thing and those beautiful words came from a man who was used to being arrogant and rude.

"Why? Haven't you heard of such a thing?"

"Not yet," Crystal answered honestly.

Reagan smiled. "Of course not, you've been working in the kitchen as a dishwasher all this time. So it's impossible for you to hear such a thing."

Crystal pursed her lips, trying to stop herself from clawing at the man she had just admired.

"I'm going to sleep and you're free to do whatever you want," Reagan said quietly, as his stomach filled with sleepiness.

"Free to do whatever I want, are you serious?" Crystal asked almost screaming, Crystal suddenly remembered what Wayan said he wanted to take her on a horse an hour ago.

"Do I need to repeat what I said again?"

Crystal shook her head quickly. "No, you don't have to do that."

Reagan, who couldn't hold back his sleepiness snorted in annoyance at Crystal's words, with quick steps Reagan walked to the bed and immediately slammed his body on the super soft bed with his eyes closed. And in a short time Reagan sailed into his dreamland leaving Crystal still frozen beside the table where they ate together.

After making sure that Reagan really slept, Crystal then rushed out of the resort. The goal is to find Wayan who has promised herself to ride a horse.

"What are you doing running around like this madam?" Made who saw Crystal running to the main guard post immediately came out and approached her worriedly.

"I'm looking for Bli Wayan," Crystal answered in a very thick British accent.

"Looking for me?" asked Wayan who had just appeared while pointing at his face with his index finger.

Crystal nodded quickly. "I want to ride a horse on the beach."

"Are you sure madam? the sun is still quite high right now and the beach will..."

"It's ok, I like the weather like this." Crystal cut Made's words quickly. "I really can't wait to enjoy the beach."

Made and Wayan looked at each other for a few seconds, although they could immediately grant Crystal's request, they both still had to consider many things. Crystal's status as Reagan West's wife meant they had to take good care of her like the instructions Roman West gave them three days ago when they first contacted them.

"Come..."

"You alone? Where is Mr. Reagan?" asked Made carefully.

Crystal grinned widely. "Reagan went to sleep having finished all the food that was prepared for us, the food was absolutely delicious. It's really the first time I've had food with such incredible spices."

"The food you have just enjoyed is only a small part of the culinary wealth that we have Madam, the seven days you will spend in Sumba will not be enough if you want to enjoy all the traditional food that Indonesia has," said Made proudly, hearing there is a foreign national who adores the authentic food of his birthplace which makes Made very happy.

"Oh really?"

Made nodded slowly. "Yes ma'am."

"Wow, I really want to enjoy those foods," Crystal said honestly. "I think I immediately fell in love with this country, not only the people and the amazing nature, the food is also extraordinary. No wonder Indonesia has been named Heaven on the Earth."

The faces of Made, Wayan and several others immediately lit up with joy. The praise that Crystal gave them and Indonesia made them even more proud to be Indonesian citizens.

"I'm really very grateful to be in this place and meet all of you," added Crystal again.

Wayan, who couldn't stand Crystal's words, then took a step forward. "Do you still want to ride madam's horse?"

Crystal nodded quickly. "Of course."

"Then let's go to the horse drum, you can choose which horse you want to ride," Wayan said with a smile.

Wayan deliberately diverts the conversation because he doesn't want to make the atmosphere more uncomfortable, Crystal's sincerity and innocence will make him sad if he has to be separated from her in seven days and Wayan doesn't want to feel that.

With great enthusiasm, Crystal followed Wayan's steps towards the horse drum which was not too far from the resort, leaving Made and the others.

"It seems that what Mr. Roman West said is true, we have to take good care of the girl. Her innocence is still so pure," Made said slowly. "We have to close all information about the whereabouts of the two of them in this place, don't leave the slightest trace of those who want to do evil to this young couple."

"We understand Bli."

"Now go and take four people with you, accompany Wayan and Mrs Crystal on the beach," Made said slowly, giving orders to Bayu who is his younger brother to follow Wayan and Crystal.

Without daring to refute his brother's words, Bayu immediately ran towards the beach with four other people according to his brother's instructions who had been given full trust by Roman West to take care of Reagan and Crystal.

After his younger brother and the rest of his men left, Made then returned to the main post. It was Reagan's presence in the resort that made the man not join Crystal, even though it was in an area that he knew so well, but Made still took extra strict care of the special guest.

London, UK.

It's been almost two hours since Virgo waited in his car in the school yard belonging to his aunt, after yesterday failed to meet the girl who had stolen his day. Now Virgo is doing the same thing as yesterday. Waiting in the car alone since the school gate opened, monitoring the girls studying at the personality school one by one until they finally enter the classroom.

"Why isn't that girl coming again," Virgo muttered worriedly. "Is she so sick that he doesn't go to school or… ah no." Virgo immediately stopped talking as he shook his head quickly trying to get rid of the bad thoughts that came to him.

"The little elf must be fine. Come on Virgo, get rid of your bad thoughts. The girl must be fine, she must not come to school for an important reason. So stop thinking nonsense."
