I was so excited as I hurried downstairs that I almost fell on the staircase. I went out of the front door and gave myself a tour around the house. The backyard was awesome. Banana trees were planted in a neat straight line. Mangoes were starting to bloom. I then found my aunt fruit salad tree. I had orange, tangerine, lime, lemon and grapefruits grafted to one tree. I saw another one with mango, custard apples, guava and avocado grafted onto it. It was beautiful. I discovered my aunt's Rose garden. Well not big enough to be called a garden.

We have Rambutan, Lanzones, seedless satsuma, mandarin, bananas, papayas and calamansi.” “Wow, they look amazing,” Tyeron said while looking at the seedlings.

Besides he loves wine too so we also make wines out of it." He narrated.

Just a little higher than the waistband. Next to the bathroom, there is a sapodilla tree. A yard of cilantro, surrounded by a torn net, to prevent geese from flying in to eat. A row of white sugar cane. Sugarcane is used to squeeze juice in the summer, for refreshment. Each tree is as big as an ankle, hard as a rock. Just looking at it made Dean’s teeth feel numb. Which fruit trees are orange, mango, papaya, litchi, lemon, and coconut. The bare land below is planted with some vegetables, turmeric, and ginger.

I eat quite well. After that, Kenan took me for a walk in his orchard. The garden is located right behind the villa. There are so many trees there. "Look at that! That's a lot of strawberries!" I screamed in disbelief. Kenan smiled thinly, then took me to the strawberry section. The fruit is quite large for the size of Indonesia. "Can I eat it right away?" I asked impatiently. "Wash first!" Kenan shows the water bottle he brought. I nodded quickly, then picked some that had a jumbo size. After Kenan washed it, I immediately took a big bite.

The food looked simple, but there was a warmth in its presentation—a sense of familiarity and care that made it more than just a meal. In the center of the table, the basket of fresh fruits Mang Lope had brought earlier sat like a centerpiece. The ripe mangoes gleamed under the soft light, their golden skin promising a sweetness that made Patricia’s mouth water. The bananas and papayas added a pop of color, completing the vibrant display of nature’s bounty. "These are all fresh," Mang Lope said with pride as he began filling their plates.

Max had called saying he was in town and dropping by again. “I’m in front of the gas station. The one with the big store and eatery. Found parking here.” “Ah, okay. Hold on, I’ll get a ride.” She got on a tricycle and headed to where Max was. She was excited for the rambutan that Max promised to bring.

I decided to go and sit on the sun lounger till my body dries up. I headed to the sun lounger as cool breeze caressed my skin and blew through my wet hair.
