Kookaburra

"Wow!! This hotel looks so grand!!" Zan Mengyao exclaimed. They were in the reception area of Kookaburra Hotel. Zan Tengfei had gone to check with the receptionist. "It looks so grand!!"

"Yes!! Look at the chandelier!! Its so big!!"

"What if we ask daddy to buy one like this?!" Zan Yichen asked.

"But our villa is small!! So it would not look good inside our home. Zan Mengyao answered.

"Its true too..." He became sad.

Both girls giggled. "But we could ask mommy.... She should tell us if we want to buy something for our home."

"Yes!! Its true too!!" The boy became happy again. Then he asked another question. "Big sis... What is Kookaburra?!"

Zan Guiying opened her phone and checked the name. "The kookaburra is a brown-colored bird, about the size of a crow. Look at this picture." She showed them the photos of the bird.

"Oh!! That is why the hotel had the bird symbol!!" Zan Mengyao noticed.

"Yup. It is also the national symbol of Australia. That must be the reason they named this hotel like that." Zan Guiying continued. "Did you hear this?!" She opened a file and played some voice.

"I..... Hmm... I know this!! Its the noise of monkeys in jungle!!" Zan Yichen proudly said.

"Yes. But do you know, this sound is the sound of Kookaburra?! Its their call!!"

"WHAT?! NO WAY!!" Her siblings exclaimed.

"Yes. I found out about this today to.... Look it's also written in here too!!" She showed them the article about Kookaburra. "The call of the kookaburra is commonly used in movies to imitate the sound of monkeys in a jungle." She read it loudly.

"Wow!!"

"Kids.... Come!! We can go to our room now!!" Bo Ehuang called.

Their room was cleaned. So the receptionist informed them and gave them the keys.

"Yes mommy!!" The kids ran towards their mother.

The husband and wife in one room, gandpa is in one room, Zan Mengyao and Zan Yichen is in one room. Zan Guiying got a room alone. It was a one week trip and all the elders scedules are arranged accordingly. So there where no thinking about buisness.

"Kids. Now wash up and take some rest. We will call you from dinner." Grandpa Zan informed.

"Yes grandpa." The kids opened their rooms.

Zan Guiying opened her room and looked inside. Seeing the bed, she ran and fell into it. Wow!! The bed is big and soft!! She rolled in it for sometime and giggled. She opened the window and looked at the sea and far the Harbour bridge.... The scenery is so beautiful.... Especially the bridge.... She laid in the bed for sometime. "Oh!! I should take a bath and rest after that. But before that I need to arrange my liggage." Then she opened her luggage and began to sort it out. After arranging her luggage in the the wardrobe, she took her nightwear to the bathroom.

"So... How is Sydney?!" Zi Chenguang asked.

"It is good!! I saw the Harbour Bridge for the first time!! I can see it if I open my window!! It looks as much as beautiful from the internet!!" Zan Guiying giggled.

She was in a video call with Zi Chenguang.

"Then show me!! I want to see it too!!"

"Okay!! Wait!!" Zan Guiying walked and opened the window.

"Wow!! It looks so beautiful!!"

"Is it right?!"

"Yes!! So..... What are you bringing for me?!"

"Ha! Ha! What do you want?!"

"Hey!! What about Kangaroo?!"

"Hey!! Are you trying to make a criminal?!" Both girls laughed for sometime.

***

The dinner beside the Paramatta river was so good. Some of its names couldn't even pronounced by Zi Yichen. They had laugh over that.

"The food here is very tasty!!" Eating lamb chops, Zi Mengyao licked her lips.

"Yes. Its one of the best hotels in this area." Zan Tengfei answered.

"So is there other hotels pricier than this?!" Zan Guiying asked.

"Yes. There is." The he told some of the other important hotels.

"I heard there is some kind of party conducted here annually."

"Yes there is. And some of them is spending their time in the hostel I listed previously.

"Ohhh...."

Not too far from them, in only three kilometres far, De Longjun was in his bathtub, drinking whiskey.

He stood up took the towel and wrapped it around in waist. After reaching the room, he changed to casuals.

"Mr. De May I come in?!" Secretary Li knocked the door. The hotel manager stood along with him.

De Longjun opened the door. "You came on the right time."

"Good evening Mr. De. How is the arrangements?!" The manager asked.

"Its good." De Longjun answered.

"What about dinner?! Should we arrange it in your room?!"

"No need for that. Arrange a room for me in the restaurant."

"Yes sir. Thank you." The manager nodded and left.

"Mr. De. Shall we go?" Secretary Li closed the window. From far, Sydney Opera House could be seen.

"Yes." De Longjun wore his watch and both of them walked to the restaurant.

"How do I look?!" Jessica asked her manager.

"You look good. Jessie." Her manager answered.

"I know. I am hot." She smiled.

Jessica is a Chinese-Ameriacn actress. She is one of the regional actress who was known globally. She has national as well as domestic fans.

She looked at her well propositioned body wearing a black neck slit evening dress.

"What would I do? Do I walk into him coincidentally or..... Just walk to him and say that I am a fan?!"

"Jess I think first one is a bad idea."

"Why?!"

"Most of the members are staying in this hotel."

"Yes. But I can meet him as a coincidence and say I expected him to be in the hotel, but not a meeting with them."

"Its a good idea."

"So what about the paparazzi? Are they here?!"

"I called them few minutes before. They are waiting in the parking lot."

"What about my hunk?!"

"I got informed that he is going to restaurant. To a private room."

"Then we should go and wait for them. Otherwise we will miss them."

"Yes. Jess." Both of them walked out of their rooms and walked towards the restaurant.

De Longjun.... I am coming.....
