As the night progressed, the grand opening now has turned into a party–a welcome and congratulatory party. Everyone was holding their own port wine glasses as they raised them into the air while the emcee gave the toast.“To more success for Sir Odin Lupus!” Delighted with a wide smile and jovial voice, the emcee raised his glass first to which everyone followed right after with the same words he said being spoken by everyone at the same time. Smiles and laughter filled the banquet as their glasses clanged to each other. “Now, everyone!” The emcee called for their attention once again and then released the roar from his mouth, “Enjoy the rest of the night!” A second after that voice, the steady golden lights turned into colorful and playful ones as loud party music blasted into their ears. No happening, the last part of the event where everyone here must enjoy, the night party.While they were dancing along to the beats of the songs, in the silence by the shore was where Manuel was f
The sun is about to set and the grand opening party will be starting soon. Georgia, Primo, as well as Jennifer have already found their way at the banquet. Like any other people invited, the three made themselves comfortable on the pale blue circular table with decoratives made of seashells in the center.The banquet was held by the seaside. Unlike banquets in the hotels, it was very open that the breeze coming from the sea could brush through their skin. Everyone was in their beach outfits, suits and formal dresses were nowhere to be found on the people here.“Where’s Manuel?” Jennifer roamed her eyes around to find the presence of that man, and just ended up taking a sip on the fresh orange juice in her glass when she couldn’t find him. “Doing his duty.” Primo simply answered. Manuel had already clicked on him and told him beforehand that he might be late at the party, since there’s something he’s looking up–way more important than this party.Hearing his response, the crease on Je
Wearing her floral flowy dress topped with a shawl that has the same pattern of her dress, Georgia enjoyed Primo’s company, who’s wearing a white long sleeve polo and beige khaki pants. Hanging out together, checking the stalls together, and enjoying each other’s company, were planned spontaneously. The two were just having a genuine conversation by the platform, when Primo suddenly opened up the thought of checking the stalls together. Georgia couldn’t decline the thought as it sounded cool to her. In the end, they found themselves riding the yacht with other people, without a single thought about the people they left at the cabin.“Anyone who wants to take photos here?” The tour guide who accompanied the group of people in the yacht that included Georgia and Primo called the attention of everyone. They are not in the middle of the sea but perhaps a mile away from the shore. The sand was more visible than the path they took, the tour guide said that it’s not deep by where the yacht
“Work during vacation, seriously? God! Wrap it up, Manuel!” At the same platform where Georgia and Primo sat, Manuel, who was wearing a white loose sleeveless shirt and black shorts, was found alone at the same spot with his laptop. He was engrossed on the screen that his peripheral vision was shut down, and didn’t notice Jennifer below on the water. Hearing that familiar voice, Manuel was quickly prompted to look behind him in hope to see Jennifer. But no one’s there. Obviously!“Below you!” Jennifer exclaimed and splashed him with water, her long hair slicked back. Manuel immediately closed the lid of his laptop and got up with his furious face as he watched the water dripped from his previously dried hair.“You!” Manuel stood there, and didn't know what to do, while Jennifer just rolled her eyes at him, not feeling guilty. “You could’ve broken my laptop, Ms. Jennifer.” Manuel regarded coldly as he hung his laptop beside his body with his hand as his looks darkened at the woman. “
The sun has risen from the horizon. The gentle hues from its light spread in the pale blue sky. The beauty from above reflected on the blue sea–the sight that Georgia couldn’t take her eyes off from. Sitting by the floating platform, the woman was enjoying her morning coffee with the pleasing morning scenery. She was taking the sip as slow as she could, as though unbounding herself from the flow of time.She let her shawl covering her upper body, along her wavy hair, to get glided from the salt fresh air. It’s always such moments that Georgia gets reminded that her problems are nowhere big from the nature before her. She should’ve thought of visiting the nearby sea at the headquarters since she has been going there with Primo. Well, maybe, it’s the fact that the sea was so close to the problem that it didn’t cross her mind at all.“Long face in the early morning, seriously?” The familiar voice from her roommate bounced in her ears. Georgia looked up and found Jennifer wearing a red b
It was five in the evening when Primo went back home. And it turned out that he’s not alone with Manuel. He’s with Jennifer, as well. Georgia already had everything prepared, including Primo’s, though he didn’t ask for it. As she waited at the balcony with a cup of tea, the woman who got out of the car made her pause in surprise.“She’s going with us?” Georgia couldn’t help blurting out. The three paced their way to her direction.“Yes. I gave her the ticket instead since Lily can’t make it.” Primo answered as he casted a quick glance at Jennifer who had her signature red dress and waved at her. Georgia waved back, though awkwardly.She hasn’t seen this woman in a while. This was the first time they met after she visited her condominium. But she heard from Primo that she was one of a few who helped to find her at the party. She didn’t even notice her at the party. But then, at some point, she feels like she owes her. And it doesn’t seem bad to have her around. “How’s your leg?” she a
