AIRPORT INCIDENT

Today is the day when Dylan, for work will travel to Destiny Island to see the progress of the luxury resort developed by his father's company there. After packing all he needed in his travel bag, he then left the room and started down the stairs of his house and then continued to the kitchen.

His hand quickly opened the fridge and took in the mineral water which was always neatly arranged. He hoped that the cold water would be able to remove the feeling of heat that was still scarred in his heart. Ever since the day when he and his father quarreled, he always avoided his father, but last night, his father reminded him again about his plan to bring his future wife to this house. Makes Dylan still is feeling angry now.

"Dylan, do you want to have breakfast before leaving?" Aunty Moon, their housekeeper asked softly as she wanted to guess the young man's emotions. As she also lives in this house, she also knows what happened between Dylan and his father.

Dylan looked at Aunty Moon who had been in the kitchen ever since. His taste buds did not seem to open, however, remembering the hardships of the old woman who had cooked, he continued to sit at the dining table.

"What did the great Aunty Moon cook today? It smells good. "

Aunty Moon smiled, realizing that Dylan was being quite open with her at the time. The tone of the young man's voice also sounded a little calm, unlike the tone when he talked to Gordon.

"Today, I just cook your favorite food. Look at this."

Aunty Moon flashed the still-smoking chicken and waffles in front of Dylan. Dylan smiled slightly. Not too excited either. He confessed in silence that it was his favorite breakfast food and maybe only Aunty Moon knew about it.

"Thank you, Aunty Moon. So far, only you always remember what I like. "

Aunty Moon sat next to Dylan, who was starting to eat. She knew the young man had no appetite, yet, that was the real Dylan, never wanting to discourage an old woman like her. She wasn't sure why Dylan was so changed when confronted with his dad.

"Dylan, I want to talk to you a little, can I?"

Dylan seemed to know what the old woman wanted to convey. He immediately stopped his feed and looked at the face of Aunty Moon who also looked at him. He knew his father must have told Aunty Moon to persuade him about the wedding.

"This must be about dad right?" Dylan guessed, however, his tone remained soft.

Aunty Moon nodded slowly. As they lived together for a long time, Aunty Moon is already considered a family so she can say something like this freely. But it's not like she always does this. Only when necessary.

"Don't be too hard on your dad, Dylan. Do you not want to see your dad happy? I know you're upset with his attitude, but, no matter what, he's still your dad. He grew up in a family that rarely showed affection for one another. That's why he's not good at showing his love to you. "

Dylan lowered his head to look at the food that was still plentiful on his plate. His throat felt so tight at that time. In a flat tone, he finally announced his leaving.

"I go first as I was afraid I was too late for my flight. Thanks for the food. "

With that, Dylan then got up and walked to the sink to wash his hands. After finishing, he continued to go upstairs to his bedroom to pick up his luggage.

Aunty Moon began to shake her head. That's Dylan, there's always something wrong when they talk about his dad. But, wanting to blame the child one hundred percent is not possible because there is a reason why Dylan becomes so hard-hearted like this.

:: At the airport::

"Hey bro... What makes you look sour like this? Did the big boss nag at you again at home?" Jack asked as he walked next to his friend, entering the airport.

Ryan on the other side looked at Dylan who was walking between them at the time to see his reaction. As they have been good friends for a long time, they already know enough that the relationship between Dylan and his father has never been good all this time. Their lives are just like employees and employers, not families.

"Nothing like that. I just not feeling well." Dylan said that. Lazy to explain at length why he becomes like this. He will tell them when the time is right later.

"Don't push yourself if you feel unwell. We got plenty of time. Once landed let's just rest first before proceeding with the job. " Ryan with a tone of concern gave an idea.

"Sound good." Dylan agrees with that idea while smiling for a little bit. He also doesn't have the heart to do the work at the moment.

In the distance,

"Hurry up Zara, or we will be left behind." Eva rushes her best friend who is the main cause of them being late to the airport today.

"I know, but no need to be rushed. It's not like we're too late. " Zara said. She is still calm even though she is also scared if that happens because it destroys her dream of being one of the first people to go to the island.

"If we missed our flight it's all your fault. Why did you wake up too late today and not set your alarm right? You are the one who was too excited to go to Destiny Island before this. " Eva is still with her nagging while ignoring her surroundings.

"I already said sorry, did I? Don't be upset... Hey, watch out!"

"Argh!" Eva, who was walking without looking forward finally collided with something so that her body was pushed backward. Her body almost fell, however, someone's hand quickly pulled her hand, making her not fall and steady herself.

Zara's warning is too late to avoid the incident. Now, cold eyes collided with startled eyes. Watching each other.

"You have eyes. Why not use it properly? " Icy cold words suddenly came out of the man's mouth as he released the hand he was holding just now.

Ryan and Jack just watch what suddenly happens with a throbbing feeling. They can just hope Dylan won't go berserk, then as he isn't in a good mood since earlier.

Eva was stunned to hear the tone of the man's voice which was uncomfortable with what was happening, but she can't say anything as she knew she was guilty.

"I'm sorry, sir. It just... I'm in a rush. " Eva tried to give a smile, but the man's serious face that was still looking at her made her feel angry for some reason.

"Cheap excuse," Dylan said slowly but still audibly.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?" Eva's tone of voice began to change a little after listening to the man.

Aware of what was going on, Zara quickly pulled Eva to get away.

"I'm sorry, sir. It won't happen again."

She then whispered to Eva.

"Let's just go. We're already late remember."

With a sigh, Eva pulled back her luggage that had fallen as a result of what had just happened and walked past the man she considered arrogant. Dylan also starts walking again, but as soon as they pass each other...

"Oh ~" Once again, they stopped.

This time, as ridiculous as they thought could happen, both Eva and Dylan looked at their hand that was now pulling at each other. Eva's bracelet suddenly got stuck on Dylan's watch.

"What now? Why so much drama today? " Jack whispered to Ryan even though he had already seen what was happening. Ryan just kept quiet as usual.

"Did you intentionally do this? Want to impress me?" Dylan started accusing as before, he once confronted a woman who tried to seduce him. After all, almost everyone knows whose son, he is in this country.

Eva frowned then. Lazy to quarrel, she approached their hands and tried to release her bracelet which was stuck on the arrogant man's watch. But after a few tries, she still didn't succeed.

Snort a little before taking an action. Dylan finally comes forward and continues to open his favorite watch. Despite his love for the watch, he was no longer willing to stand near the girl for a long time.

After he released the watch, Eva's hand felt heavy as the watch began to hang on her bracelet. She once again tried to separate the watch from her bracelet, but still, she failed, didn't even realize that the man was already walking away.

"Eva, he's walking away," Zara told her.

"Wait! Don't you want this back? " Eva asked before Dylan went any further.

Dylan turned back, his face. With a sharp look, he said,

"It's already dirty because of you. Just throw it away if you manage to separate it."
