HERE COME THE TROUBLE

"Woah!"

"Wow!"

Sounds of satisfaction and astonishment always accompany Eva and Zara as they explore every area they can afford on Destiny Island.

The island is not small at all. With their tight time as they come here with the free ticket which only allows them to be here for three days and two nights only, they just can be in the area close to the city center only.

However, that has made them feel satisfied so that even the tired body does not feel so bad. They do not rest at all except sleep at night because they do not want their time to be wasted. Not wanted to feel regret later as they didn't know when they will be able to go back here again. It's not a money problem, but their lives will be busy again with various things.

Until today, which is the last day they are supposed to be on the island, they are still visiting here and there with their luggage as they check out of their hotel early.

As their flight back to their country, Country A, was at night, they decided to continue exploring the nearby places of interest as suggested by the locals there. Both of the good friends were completely happy until the clock on their smartphones showed 5 pm.

"Let's have something to eat now while waiting for night time to take our return flight," Zara suggested as her stomach started to feel too hungry. It is because they only eat snacks and sacrifice their breakfast and lunch just for their exploration.

"That's a pretty good idea. I'll faint if I didn't get any food now, but..." Eva suddenly looked in one direction. Her next words stopped suddenly.

"But what?" Zara looked at her, waiting for Eva to finish her words.

Sigh quite deeply. Eva finally spoke again.

"Here comes the trouble."

Hearing that, Zara looked in the direction of the path that Eva was looking at. Her face also now turned cloudy. She thought that they will never cross paths again after graduation day, but it turns out that their fate is a lot stronger than she ever thought.

There is no need for someone to tell them that the person is now approaching at that time. Eva and Zara were only able to stand stiffly while waiting for what would happen soon. They know for sure that there are things that will happen every time they and this person meet.

With the waist swaying to the left and right as if on purpose, the person who disturbed Eva and Zara's happy mood at that time finally arrived in front of them.

"My, my... What a pleasant surprise. It's rare to see both of you here on this new island. Isn't the ticket for the first flight here a bit expensive? How can both of you afford that? " Melissa unabashedly began to ask.

"It's none of your concern Melissa. Why are you bothering us suddenly? " Zara doesn't want to be too entertaining.

"Hurm ... What is wrong with you Zara? We are alumni after all. Can't I even say hello to both of you? My old classmate. " Melissa said in a cute tone. As if sulking.

Both Eva and Zara frown their forehead after hearing and seeing this. Didn't know how to react to that.

"Well then. Nice to see you, but we need to find something to eat now. So, excuse us." Didn't want to drag the conversation any longer as Melissa and they were not close, Eva started pulling Zara to go from there.

"Why in such a hurry? Did you guys follow the tour guide or something?"

"Our flight back is tonight. So we just have a couple of hours now to enjoy ourselves here. Meaning that, we didn't have time to entertain you." Eva explained without hesitation. As bold as Melissa, she should be the same too.

"Is that so..." Melissa's face, then seemed a mystery. But soon, a smile began to creep up on her face suddenly. As if she was planning something in her mind.

"Then how about I treat both of you two something good today?" Melissa suddenly suggests something she has never done in her life.

"Are you for real?" Zara asked as if what Melissa said at the time was too foreign. Which isn't it, it looks like she's trying to be nice to them. The question is why?

Sigh. Melissa finally acknowledged the purpose of her actions at the time.

"True... Whatever is inside your head. I have a purpose behind this. I'm on the path to becoming a famous model anyway. So, whoever I've hurt before... I want to do good to them, including the two of you so that I won't get into trouble later on. Just take it as a bribe or whatever you want to say. Frankly, I say I'm just jealous of Eva all this time as she always manages to take a step ahead of me while in class and also in her design. Make me hate her. "

"Why you?" Eva just stop here as she didn't know what she supposes to say with this sudden confession.

"You are a very weird person." Zara also cannot understand Melissa at all.

"Don't get me wrong. I still hate you now, but it can't hurt for just one day for us to be on better terms right? Who knows, if one day you manage to have a famous brand that I will wear on the runway? For that thought alone, it can't hurt to mend our relationship. "

Eva and Zara at that time were a little touched to hear this. Didn't know that Melissa can have that kind of thinking as all this time they were always at war.

"I mean it, Eva. I will wait for that time. " Melissa talks again. This time Eva could see her eyes a little shining there. As if sincere.

'I'm on the way for that anyway,' Eva talks in her heart.

Smiling, Eva said,

"If so, treat us then. But just for a reminder, both of us eat quite much."

This time Melissa's smiling, and looked quite honest. The first time she was like this.

"Not a problem. I'm rich anyway."
