The Plan to Reunion Island

The sun was quite stinging. Combined with the blue sky that looks stretched wide, with white clouds hanging from several points. Kairi stood by the window of her room, occasionally rubbing her face violently. Kairi looked back at the circular bracelet in her hand, it was already two in the afternoon, yet she was still reluctant to leave her office.

Kairi just finished her meeting. And it was the outcome of the meeting that made him worried. The Da Vinci Company was offered a deal to build a five-star hotel on Reunion Island. Reunion Island is a small island in the Indian Ocean. It is located east of Madagascar, about 200 km southwest of Mauritius. Administratively, the island is a French department d'outre-mer.

Reunion Island is an island that has many mountains, and has a million tourist destinations that are very charming. One of his favorite tours is an active volcano located on the south coast of the island. In addition, this island also has a very beautiful natural forest, as well as water tourism that can spoil the tourists to do scuba diving.

It is located quite far from the City of Paris, and it makes Kairi feel worried. His wife couldn't sleep, if she didn't. Then what if left for two days, or three days.

Kairi rubbed her face again. Actually this cooperation is very profitable, considering Reunion Island is an island with a million tourist destinations. Building a hotel there is one very lucrative business. Moreover, it is located near the beach, very strategic. But what about Ella, will she be left behind?

With a flickering step Kairi stepped out of his room. He walked towards the parking lot, he would try to talk about this with his wife. Who knows, Ella will. He will not be long either, just two or three days. He went there only to see the location, as well as compiling a sketch of the design.

Arriving at the parking lot, Kairi immediately got into his car. He drove away from the office area, and rushed to his apartment. Along the way Kairi feels restless, afraid that Ella will misunderstand his intentions.

About half an hour later, he stopped his car in the yard of the apartment. He got out of his car and walked to the elevator.

Kairi stops on the seventh floor, he comes out and steps towards her apartment. Kairi opened the door slowly, there was no wife in the living room, maybe she was in the room. Then Kairi walked towards her room, and it turned out to be true. Just opening the door of his room, he had caught the figure of his wife sitting in front of the dresser.

"What are you doing, baby?" kairi asked as she approached Ella, hugged her briefly, and kissed her forehead.

"I'm applying a little makeup, she says you're going to take me for a walk" Ella replied with a smile.

"Yes, we're going for a walk" Kairi said, trying to smile. His heart was still agitated, still hesitant to talk about his work to Ella.

"Why Kai?" ella asked as she looked at Kairi who was just silent while scratching her head.

"I'm fine." replied Kairi.

"You seem to be agitated, what's wrong? Is there a problem in the office, is it because yesterday you did not go to work for two days, I'm guilty Kai." said Ella as she looked closely at Kairi.

"No, it's not that. You're not wrong Gabriella, this has nothing to do with you" Kairi said as she clasped Ella's hands together.

"Then, what's wrong with you?"

"Gabriella, there's actually something I want to talk to you about. It's about work, I hope you don't misunderstand" Kairi said, holding Ella's hand.

"Tell me Kai."

"My partner offers a pretty lucrative cooperation. If this business goes well, we will reap a lot of benefits" Kairi said.

"Then, what's the problem? If it's profitable, why don't you take it?" ella asked while looking at Kairi.

Kairi let out a long sigh, and exhaled it violently.

"His cooperation is to build a hotel on Reunion Island, a small island with a million tourist destinations. If I accept the cooperation, I will have to review the location, then draw up a sketch of the design. The location of the island is quite far from here, it takes two or three days to complete its affairs. That's what worries me dear." said Kairi, staring at Ella.

"If you whine to come along, inevitably I have to take you. But if you refuse, and don't let me go. By force, I have to cancel this cooperation." Kairi said in his heart.

"You're worried about me Kai?" asked Ella with a smile.

"I can't leave you alone, if you come with me. All I will take you for a walk there, many very charming tourist attractions there." said Kairi while breathing a sigh of relief, it turns out Ella did not sulk as usual.

"I'm at home, you're there for work, Kai. After all, the doctor advised not to travel far, fearing that my body would be weak" Ella said with a smile.

"I can't get Kairi in trouble, I'll try not to get too spoiled. This cooperation must be very important for his business, I have to ease Kairi's business, I must not make it difficult. All this time he has loved me, and loved me with all his heart. After all, for only three days, I can definitely pass through it alone." Ella said in her heart.

"You're letting me go, and you don't want to come, baby?" kairi's question confirmed Ella's answer. He was a little surprised to see the change in Ella's attitude that was not as usual. He can even smile, without sulking, and without whining. Apparently true, the hormones of pregnant women are very volatile.

"Yes, it's only been three days" Ella replied.

"Yes, and I will try to finish my work faster, after that I will go home soon" Kairi said as she held onto Ella's shoulders.

"When are you leaving?" ask Ella.

"Tomorrow morning baby, the plane will fly at 07:00. You sure you let me go, you okay I accept this cooperation?" kairi asked, as he hesitated to leave his wife alone.

"I'm fine Kai, believe me I'll be fine at home. Maybe sometimes I am spoiled, but I am also trying to understand your position. Sorry if all this time my attitude has been troublesome for you" Ella said as she looked at Kairi.

"You've never been a hassle, baby, I don't mind your effective attitude. Pray for me, hope everything goes well, and I can go home soon." said Kairi while cupping Ella's cheeks.

"I always pray for you Kai." Ella replied as she clasped Kairi's hand on her cheek.

Kairi brought her face closer, and then she kissed Ella's lips gently. After that he hugged Ella tightly, as if there was a feeling of uneasiness that began to seep in his heart. Leaving Ella alone, she actually objected, afraid that something would happen to her. But this he did, because of the demands of the work. He did this for their future too.

"Gabriellas!"

"Hmm."

"It is better that you stay at home, there are more servants, the security is also more secure. Only as long as I'm not there, after I get home we'll come back here again" Kairi said, wiping Ella's hair in her arms.

"No need Kai, I prefer it here. There's aunty with me, I'll be fine." replied Ella.

"You sure you're gonna stay here?" ask Kairi.

"Yes Kai."

"Alright, but I'll have one more servant stay here, and accompany you. That way, I'll be calmer when I leave you" Kairi said.

"Yes I agree, as long as I stay here, I will not oppose your decision" Ella said as she let go of her embrace, she looked at Kairi with a smile.

"You really like this place Gabriella."

"You're so adorable" Kairi said as she rubbed Ella's cheek.

"Prepare Kai, he said you'll take me for a walk" Ella said.

"I'm still at home looking at your face dear." replied Kairi with a smile.

"Don't be weird Kai. We're going for a walk, not a bed" Ella said in annoyance.

"Your mind is too far, dear." said Kairi with a laugh, then he got up from his seat, and walked towards the bathroom.

Ella stared at Kairi's departure with a long sigh.

"Although it's heavy, but I have to let you go. This is for the sake of work, and also for the future" Ella said slowly.

The twilight has passed. The sun no longer shows its pink light. The night began to greet, along with thousands of stars, and a half moon hanging in space. The lights of the city glimmered beautifully, shining their light in the darkness of the night. Ella and Kairi were sitting together in a long chair, under the Eiffel Tower.

Ella was amazed as she stared at the tower, the towering iron tower with its dazzling light. Hiding in the city of his dreams, with someone he loves so much, is a very beautiful gift, and very valuable in his life.

"Darling, eat fast, it's not good if it's cold!" kairi said while looking at Ella.

Ella nodded with a smile, then she bit the brown crepes she was grasping. Today Kairi really spoiled him, he was invited to take a walk to the shopping center. I don't know how many clothes and dresses she bought. Even Kairi also invited him to buy baby equipment, although he did not know what gender, but Kairi insisted on buying it.

After shopping, Kairi invited him to eat at a typical French restaurant. Kairi ordered Ratatouille, and Soupe a L'oignon soup, a typical French food that is quite popular. Ratatouille is a food with the main ingredients in the form of vegetables, baked with French-made seasonings. While Soupe a L'oignon is a soup with a thick sauce made with beef broth. It's sweet, and savory.

Out of the restaurant, Kairi takes her to the bakery. Kairi bought some Croissants, and Baguette, who was then wrapped, and brought home. Then Kairi took her to the park, under the tower. But before that he stopped when he saw a crepes trader who was selling on the side of the road. Crepes is a typical French snack that Kairi likes, they buy it, and enjoy it under the tower.

"Kai!" call Ella while resting her head on Kairi's shoulder.

"What's wrong?" kairi asked as she rubbed Ella's arm.

"What are you thinking now?" Ella asked back.

"No, I was so happy when I was with you that I couldn't think of anything else" Kairi replied.

"You seduced me Kai."

"No, I'm talking what it is. That's how I feel, there's nothing I'm thinking about right now. Because you're by my side." said Kairi, embracing Ella tightly.

"I'm thinking about Kai's past, every time I look up at the tower, I always think of when you proposed to me. I didn't expect my love story to start in the city of my dreams" Ella said as she held Kairi's waist.

"Since I met you at the airport, I assumed you liked this place. That's why I'm here to declare my love. You still remind us of our meeting at the airport back then?" ask Kairi.

"Of course remember, you're the most handsome man I've ever met. So how could I forget." Ella replied with a laugh.

"You've always been like that Gabriella, just praising my good looks, never praising my heart, or my personality" Kairi said.

"Because your words reached the maximum limit of Kai, while your heart is ordinary" Ella said with a louder laugh.

"Oh it turns out so yeah" Kairi said as her hand tickled Ella's waist.

Ella screamed as she tried to get out of her seat. But Kairi held him back, and continued to tickle him.

"Kai ticklish Kai, let go of me!" scream Ella.

"Please promise not to repeat it again" Kairi said.

"I promise Kai, but let me go right now!" scream Ella. And soon Kairi releases her body.

"You're Kai's habit!" said Ella with a pretty lips.

"You're also a habit. Sit down, don't stand up like that!" kairi said while chuckling.

Then Ella sat down next to Kairi again, pinching Kairi's arm quite hard. And Kairi responded only with an oddity.

"I'm always comfortable every time I lean on Kai's shoulder" Ella said, leaning back on her head.

"You should always feel comfortable, dear. Either with me, and leaning on my shoulder, or when you're alone, and I'm not next to you." replied Kairi.

"Why do you talk like that, you have the intention to leave me?"

"No, you don't misunderstand me. I'm just talking about reality. In this world nothing is eternal, everything that ever existed will be lost, if it has arrived at the limit of time. Although we always try to be together, but when the time has come. You will leave me, or I will leave you." said Kairi while playing Ella's hair with her fingers.

Ella was silent, she did not know what to answer.

"The most important place to lean on is God, the Lord of all nature. For only God remains eternal, and will never forsake us. Maybe the breakup was bitter, and the loss was painful. But as long as we lean our lives on to God, we can surely pass through our destiny. No matter what trials God gives, we can certainly go through them, as long as we are sure of His greatness." continued Kairi.

Ella raised her head, she turned her head, looking at Kairi who was smiling at her. This kind of atmosphere reminded him of his time in London. Kairi also said this as they sat together by the lake. What Kairi said was real, but it always made Ella's heart uneasy.

"Kai!"

"Hmm."

"If you leave me first, I promise I will never marry again. Whether you exist or not, my husband is forever you. You've been enthroned in Kai's heart, you'll never be replaced." said Ella, clasping Kairi's hand tightly.

"I am too, dear. You are the only woman I love. I'd rather live alone than with another woman. I won't be able to stain our bond of love." replied Kairi while embracing Ella, and kissing the top of her head.
