FRIENDS ... (Our Story)
Friends 72.1
Narra felt the turmoil in his stomach, from earlier during the trip he went back and forth in the bathroom to vomit his stomach contents.
His body felt weak, he tried to walk slowly towards his bed.
This is his first trip on a cruise ship, he just found out that he was seasick.
Andra reluctantly left because there was a seminar participant meeting after asking for drunken travel medicine at the health team committee.
The door of the room opened, Andra walked inside with an anxious face. He saw Narra had not touched the food on the trolley before leaving the room.
Andra rubbed Narra's head. Sometimes he kissed his wife.
"forgive me dear, you tormented me on this journey" he said.
"i'm fine honey, how was the meeting ?" narra asked because Andra was an important part of the event, he was a speaker at the seminar.
"after the opening ceremony, I have permission to accompany you. It's okay, it's just an introductory event. The main event will be upon her arrival on the island" Andra said, knowing Narra must have felt bad because she left the show.
"you ate a little, yes, just after breakfast and took your medicine to fall asleep. It's past lunchtime baby" Andra said.
Narra nodded. Andra fed him with great affection. Narra was pleased with her husband's treatment. Narra's food ran out, Andra arranged it back into the trolley and pushed it near the door of the room and then sat down on the edge of the bed at Narra's side.
The sound of the door on the knock. Andra stood up to open the door. Melani and Richard were standing at the door. Andra let them in.
"i was also out of the meeting, once Melani knew Narra wasn't feeling well.. He asked me to come here" Richard Davidson told Andra.
"Narra why ?" tanya Melani sat on the edge of the bed next to Narra. He helped Narra who was about to lean.
"thank you aunt, Narra is fine just seasick" Narra said.
"have you taken your medicine ?" ask Melani.
Narra nodded.
Richard sat with Andra on the sofa.
"tante is here too ?" ask Narra.
"yes, same with you. Aunty accompanied me to attend the seminar" Melani replied.
"happy, I have a friend. I think I'll be there alone" Narra said.
"all of us there we both quality time when they attend the seminar" said Melani.
"yes, aunt. Can you please Nda ?" ask Narra.
"maybe dear" Andra said with a smile.
"thank you" Narra smiled.
"you'd better go back to the meeting, let me be with Narra" Melani said.
Richard patted Andra's thigh. They both stood up and approached their wives to say goodbye.
"you're here, yes, I'll pick you up" Richard said as he rubbed his wife's cheek.
"yes dear" Melani replied.
Andra sat down next to Narra. He held his wife's cheek.
"i'm just for a minute, you with aunt Mel first yeah" Andra said.
"yes dear" said Narra.
Andra kissed his wife's forehead. So did Richard on Melani. Then the two men in suits walked out of the room together.
"now you have a rest" Melani said, helping Narra lay back.
"but I'm not good with auntie" Narra said.
"it's okay, the aunt will take care of you until your husband returns" she said as she put a blanket on Narra.
Narra smile. Aunt Melani thinks of her as her own daughter. Shortly, Narra falls asleep.

They arrived at the island in the morning. Narra and Andra occupied the rooms next to Richard and Melani. It adds intensity to the meeting between Narra and Melani. They are getting closer like their mother and daughter.
"honey, will you have lunch at the seminar ?" ask Narra while fixing Andra's tie.
After breakfast, Andra prepared to attend the seminar.
"why dear ?" andra asked as she tidied up Narra's unraveling strands of hair covering her face.
"tante Mel this morning took a walk to see the exhibition of paintings and lunch together" explained Narra.
"ooo but I want to have lunch with you" Andra said.
"all right, I'll tell aunt Mel that I'll have lunch with my husband. It's possible that aunt Mel will also have lunch with Richard's om" Narra said.
"yes, I went to the show first. You are fine, if you want to shop.. Pake this" Andra handed Narra a black card.
"i still have the card you love" Narra said.
"yes, with this too. All for you" Andra said, kissing his forehead and kissing his wife's lips.
"alright" Narra said.
"bye my dear" Andra said as she opened the door.
"bye dear" said Narra.

After seeing the painting exhibition, aunt Melani invited Narra to sit in a beachside cafe. They both ordered drinks.
"auntie, may Narra ask you something. Sorry if later Narra's question makes aunt sad" said Narra carefully after their drink order came.
"what do you want to ask ?" ask Melani.
"about aunt Mel's son, is there a special sign that can convince if it's aunt's son when he meets later ?" ask Narra.
"you see aunt's back" Melani brushed her long hair.
She wore a long casual dress with a spaghetti strap tied to her neck that showed off her smooth back covered in long black hair.
"Regan has a crescent-shaped birthmark just like a aunt on her back" explained Melani.
Narra mangut saw a crescent moon-shaped birthmark on Melani's back. If the birthmark is on Faya, it means more convincing for Narra to ask Faya for a DNA test.
"why are you asking about Regan ?" ask Melani.
"Narra just wants to know aunty" said Narra.
Melani nodded.
Narra's phone rang, my husband's contact was on the screen.
"yes dear" answered Narra.
"where is dear ? Richard and I would like to have lunch with you" Andra said.
"me and Aunt Mel are at the beachside cafe"
"ok, okay. We're there"
Andra closed the conversation.
"Andra ?" ask Melani.
"yes, aunt, you and Richard are headed here" Narra said.
Melani nodded.
"i really hope Regan meets soon before she gets married. I really want to see her married, surely she is as dashing as her daddy" said Melani Lirih.
"we will definitely find a aunt" Narra said holding Melani's hand.
"thank you Na, you strengthen your aunt" said Melani.

Narra walked by the beach holding hands with her husband. They enjoyed the afternoon at the beach after lunch, andra and Richard resumed the seminar. Narra and Melani return to their respective rooms while waiting for their husbands.
"are you happy ?" ask Andra.
"yes, thank you Nda" said Narra.
"honey" sergeant Andra.
"yes dear" replied Narra.
"we're photos yuk" asked Andra.
Narra nodded.
They also took pictures together using the front camera of Andra's phone. Then Andra took pictures of his wife in various styles and candid.
"i Nda, most of my photos. Which photo is it ?" ask Narra.
"i've always loved seeing you, baby.. My picture doesn't matter" Andra said.
He hugged his wife. Narra looked around. He was ashamed, many people around him.
"don't mind them, I want to be romantically alone with my wife" whispered Andra as she kissed her forehead.
Narra shook his head and asked Andra to walk back.
*
Narra came out of the bathroom wearing his bathrobe. Andra approached him and hugged and kissed him on the cheek.
"i've prepared clothes for you. Wear it" whispered Andra as she passed into the bathroom.
Narra was silent for a while, then she stepped towards the bed taking a closer look at the clothes her husband had prepared.
Narra rounded his eyes.
Her husband prepared a thin nightgown that showed very clearly the curves of her body.
"this is the same as wearing nothing, especially if I like to sleep without a bra" Narra murmured.
Did you ask her tonight ? Inner Narra.
Narra sat on the edge of the bed facing the bathroom. He's feeling very nervous right now. Immediately he picked up his thick gray sweater and blue jeans and interior in the closet. He then put on his sneakers so as not to feel cold.
Narra walked out of the room without saying goodbye to her husband. He wants to calm his feelings. He's very nervous now.
