Ammar put his arm around my neck and held me closer to his body.

"I'll kiss your cheek and you can take a picture of her, okay." Ammar Pinta.

I nodded my head and on the count of three, I took a picture of us.

"Is this a photo you've wanted all along?" I smiled at Ammar.

"Yes, let's go now." Said Ammar and then walked with me towards the fountain in the park.

"Here?" I asked Ammar.

"Yes, let's feed those fish." Ammar.

I nodded my head again. He gave me a piece of cake and we started feeding the fish.

After we finished feeding the fish, we walked by holding hands and we passed the children's play area.

"Look at the kids playing." My speech.

Ammar nodded his head and we sat down on a long wooden bench. It was late afternoon and some of the children were playing in the arena.

This is the perfect time for children to spend playing. Ammar then let go of my hand and ran towards a child who was crying. He helped the little boy stand up and wiped the tears on his face.

The boy smiled. I walked closer to the two of them.

"Do you want to play on the slide?" Ask Ammar to the boy.

The boy nodded his head. Ammar then helped the boy by lifting him up the slide and the boy slid down and Ammar ran towards the boy again. Ammar smiled because he could help the boy again to be on the slide.

Several other children ran towards Ammar. Every other child seemed to raise their hands to ask Ammar to help them to ride the slide. Ammar helped one of them. I walked back to a bench and sat there. I just looked towards Ammar with the kids playing with him.

A little boy pulled Ammar's clothes from behind and called Ammar to look back at him. Ammar moved to see the little boy. He helped the little boy turn the toy arena around. The children playing there ran towards the playground. Ammar helped them play the game again.

Ammar looked so exhausted. I can see it from his face. I walked over to him and gave him a tissue to wipe the sweat off his forehead. The children looked towards him as the arena stopped spinning.

"Kids, I've come to ask you all. Can I borrow this brother from you?" I pointed towards Ammar.

A little girl said to me.

"What do you need this brother for?"

"Sister came here with this older brother. But as you can see, he plays with all of you all the time. Big Brother is bored, so can Big Brother borrow him back?" My speech.

The boys nodded their heads in a sign of agreeing with me.

"Thank you." I said and held Ammar's hand.

We then walked away. We may have been walking for a while but Ammar kept looking at me.

"What?" I let go of his hand.

"I still want to kiss your lips." Ammar pointed to my lips.

"When did you think about it?" I said to Ammar.

"So when I was arguing with those kids, you were singing your lips. From that moment on I felt this feeling." Said Ammar who did not move his eyes from my lips.

"Basic pervert....!!" I said, closing my mouth with my hand.

Ammar approached me and held my waist and face so close to mine and the other hand held my hand and took my hand off my mouth and said....

"Without your permission, I won't do anything."

He then moved his head back and let go of my hand. I stood up and could not say anything.

"Now let's go." He said pulling my hand away to walk with him.

We walked for a while and he said to me.

"Don't you think that you should have thought about what I said earlier."

"What's that?" My toot.

"When I said that I kissed you, you instantly closed your lips and I let go of it without kissing you because I was thinking about your feelings. So you should be thinking about my feelings, right?" Her speech.

"Yes, I should think about how you feel." Reply me.

He also looks smiling.

"No, something doesn't feel right. Hold still... How can I.. no.. No. That's not true...."

Before I could finish my words, he had already pulled me closer to him and looked me in the eye. He smiled looking at me. I realized that something untrue was happening. And before I could process what was happening, he had already approached me and kissed my lips.

My eyes widened perfectly when his lips touched mine. He also took me off. I was grateful because it was just a kiss and nobody around us saw it.

I swallowed because of my nervousness. He held my hand as we walked. There was a silence that made everything feel awkward between us. But it was just for me, he himself looked relaxed.

"You're playing me." My words pointed towards him.

"No, I'm not playing you." He said without looking into my eyes.

"You're so good at stringing your words together. But I'm going to let go of this thing because no one's seen us. If someone were to witness this, it would all be a different story." My speech.

Ammar looked at me.

"How will things be different? What are you gonna do?" Ask Ammar.

"I will. I will..."

Before I could continue my words, he again gave a kiss on my lips. I also stood there. He laughed at my reaction. There are so many people there. And I wonder how many people have witnessed this.

'No.. no...'

'Did they realize that? It was just a very quick kiss, wasn't it?'

I'm trying to convince myself. I don't want to talk to him. I walked away from him and he followed me quickly.

"Are you angry? If you're angry, just give me back what I gave you, okay?" Said to me.

"Good." My reply.

He laughed so hard too. I also realized what had happened. He played me again.

"You...." My speech.

I couldn't say anything more and I started laughing too.

"Well, that's enough to play it. Let's go get some ice cream." I pointed to an ice cream car parked.

Ammar nodded his head and we walked towards the ice cream car. I chose chocolate mint ice cream with a sprinkling of choco chips. While Ammar, he chose chocolate ice cream with a sprinkling of beans. We walked along with the ice cream.

Ammar wouldn't try the ice cream I ate. While I really liked the taste of the ice cream he chose and I even almost ate all his ice cream like mine.

We returned home around 07:00 and prepared dinner before we went back to sleep in the room.

...****************...

It's Sunday again we plan to stay inside the inn all day. We also prepared our bed to rest.

"For the past 3 days we have visited all the places that are close to our inn. So tomorrow I'll take you somewhere different." I said to Ammar.

"Where are we going?" Ask Ammar.

"To a very beautiful place that will make you fall in love when you see it." My words grinned.

"Well, I'll wait for that surprise from you." Reply Ammar.

...****************...

The next morning, I woke up and found Ammar still sleeping like a baby. I didn't bother him and I got out of bed and started cleaning myself in the bathroom.

"Wake up, we must pass the journey for at least 2 hours to reach our destination." I said as I patted Ammar's shoulder.

"What time is it?" Ask Ammar.

"Hour 08.00am." My reply.

"Well, I'll get ready and don't make breakfast. We'll eat at the restaurant later." Ammar said and I nodded my head.

After Ammar finished preparing himself, we walked out of the inn at exactly 09:00 a.m. We went to a restaurant near our house for breakfast.

After breakfast, we rented a taxi and told the driver to drive us to our destination.

We talked a lot during the trip which would take 2 hours.

We finally reached our destination. When the taxi driver said that we had arrived at our destination, I did not forget to thank him before getting out of the taxi.

"You want to take me to the rice field?" Ammar asked confusedly.

I just smiled at him. I held her hand and began to lead her steps.

PoV Ammar

He took my hand and took me to walk near a small cottage and knocked on the door.

An old man of at least 60 years old walked out from inside the cottage and smiled at us.

"Fara, you're coming." Said the old man and pointed at me then asked again, "and who...."

Before he finished his sentence, Fara had already answered him first.

"He's my husband Ammar." Fara Say.

"It's nice to meet you." Said the old man with a smile to me.

"Grandfather, let's go." Fara Say.

The old man nodded his head. We then walked towards the rice fields and the grandfather led us, and all the time Fara did not let go of my hand.

"Who's grandfather and how do you know him?" I asked Fara because she was so confused and curious.

"I'll tell you later. So now enjoy it all." Fara smiled at me with her sparkling eyes.

"All right." My reply.

"Grandfather, is everything ready?" Fara asked and the grandfather nodded his head.

"Wait a minute, I'll close your eyes." Fara said while taking a black cloth from her bag.

"That doesn't need to be done." My speech.

Fara replied to me.

"Then this isn't gonna be fun. Follow what I ask." Fara said as she began to close my eyes.

It is very difficult for me to walk with my eyes closed. Even though Fara led me with my footsteps, I still found it difficult to walk.

"How much longer do we have to walk?" Ask him.

"Less than 2 minutes." Faradina said and I heard her little laugh.

"Everything is ready. Just call me when you want to come back, don't get lost." Said the grandfather.

I heard the sound of Grandpa's footsteps moving away. After that, Fara then took off my blindfold.

"Wow!"

There was a ditch with a stream of water flowing quite profusely and beside it was a small hut under a tree that was so shady. The wind was blowing and it carried a familiar scent in the air. It is the aroma of coffee beans. I looked for where the scent came from.

"From inside the cabin." Fara pointed towards the cottage.

He seemed to be able to read my mind looking for where the aroma of coffee came from. I walked into the cottage and he followed me.

"How did you find this place?" I asked Fara when I looked inside the cottage.

"I'm friends with the owner of this garden." Fara smiled.

"How'S....?"

Before I could finish my sentence, Fara first asked me.

"Do you know how to make coffee?"

"No, I just love to drink coffee." My speech.

Fara laughed too.

"Sit down here. I'll make you coffee." Fara said take the coffee beans.

"How did you learn how to make coffee?" I asked the curious Fara who saw it so painstakingly processing the coffee beans.

"Because this is the first profession I chose." Fara smiled.

"What?" I'm surprised.

"alright. Do you know Paradise?" Ask Fara to me.

"The paradise? That cafe?" I asked Fara again.

"Yes." Yeah." Reply Fara nodded her head.

"That's a very famous cafe isn't it?" I asked him again.

Fara nodded her head again.

"What does this have to do with it?" Ask again.

"I'm the owner of the cafe." Fara said taking a cup.

"Oh.... Hold still... What's?" I said so surprised.

"You must be surprised." Reply with a small laugh.

"Of course I'm really surprised." My reply was that in fact I was very surprised to hear his confession from him.

"Even my parents didn't know about it. You're the first to know." Fara Say. "Because of that I know the owner of this garden. He helped me with that cafe." Fara Say.

"When you're not there, then who helps you to cope with your cafe situation?" I asked Fara.

"Have you never heard of a professional?" Said Fara by raising her eyebrows.

"Yes, I completely forgot about it." Reply with an awkward laugh. "So you're the elector of the other 5 branches?" Ask him again.

"Yes, cooperation with my friend's brother. He helped me to manage that cafe and take advantage as well." Fara Say.

"Why didn't you say this to your Papa?" Ask him.

"Because when this cafe opened. I'm still in High School. So I didn't say this to Papa because Papa would be against me working at school and still going to college." Fara smiled.

"Then why haven't you told him until now?" Ask again.

"I never dared, that's why I'm telling you this now or I won't be able to tell you this in the future." Say Fara and bring me a cup of coffee.

The smell of the coffee began to pierce my nose.

"You're really great. I will support you, no matter what, just tell me whatever your problems will be in the future. Never hide anything from me in the future." Saying to him.

After that, we sat in front of the hut on the edge of the trench with our feet in the trench. The trench was just about up to our knees.

Moments later I lay under a shady tree and looked up at the blue sky. We talked and kept talking about a lot of things. I never knew in my life that I could talk this much.

"You're a really good listener." Fara said to me with a smile.

Seriate....
