**) Third Viewing Angle

The afternoon air hit the long hair of this Indonesian girl. He seemed to spread a smile when saying goodbye to the host. At his side was a beautiful man who also said goodbye. The two got into the car with a few hands. They quickly drove back to an elite class apartment in Dubai City.


"Gee, we've brought a lot of cake." The girl opened the cake box from the master of the event.


"Try it, I want it too." The man responded with his smile.


"All right."


The girl began to taste the mini-sized donuts that were in the box. And it turns out, it feels like making himself forget someone who is driving a car by his side.


"Ara, I want to too. Bribe me!" pinta the man with annoyance.


"Ups, sorry. Yeah-yes." yeah."


The delicious taste of donuts makes the girl forget her man. "It." He then began to feed his men to stay focused forward.


"How does it feel? It's delicious, isn't it?" ask the girl.


"You can make it too, honey?" ask the man.


Suddenly the girl heard the words of affection from him. Mr ...? He was stunned in happiness.


"Let's make me some time, okay?" pinta the man again.


"He-it." The girl nodded quickly.


Ara is an Indonesian girl who gets a rare opportunity to teleport from Indonesia to Dubai City. A capital of the United Arab Emirates that is famous for its skyscrapers.


Dubai is one of the most luxurious cities in the world located in the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula, or rather in the Persian Gulf Coast region. One of the largest cities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is famous for its many skyscrapers and almost dominates the entire city. No doubt this city is called a metropolitan city of the Middle East by foreign tourists.


In addition, Dubai is also known as the prima donna of tourism in the Middle East that presents all kinds of beauty and world-class luxury. This city in the Arabian Desert has a subtropical climate with hot and humid weather.


In summer, Dubai's daytime temperatures average 42 degrees Celsius. However, in winter the average temperature reaches 25 degrees Celsius. So if winter arrives the inhabitants wear a coat to warm the body. Moreover, this city is close to the offshore. The night air is so piercing the skin if it is not used to it.


Dubai is one of the most populous cities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) whose majority population is foreign nationals. Only about 15 percent are Emiratis. Interestingly, more than half of Dubai's population are Millennials with an age range of between 25-34 years. Only about 15 percent of the population is over 45 years old. So here will rarely find grandparents and grandparents.


Dubai also has the tallest skyscraper in the world, the Burj Khalifa. Burj Khalifa is about 828 meters or 2,716.5 feet high and consists of 125 floors. This skyscraper in the heart of Dubai is three times the height of the Eiffel Tower in France and almost twice the State Empire Building in the United States. So if you're in Burj Khalifa on the top floor, it's like being in a land of clouds. Beautiful white clouds will accompany time to relax on the top terrace of this tallest building.


Dubai Mall itself consists of 12 thousand stores which include the largest candy store in the world, SEGA game center (3D bowling game) to the ice rink. In addition, there are also 22 cinema screens, 120 restaurants and cafes, a 5-star hotel, to one of the largest aquariums in the world. Dubai is considered the most luxurious city in the Middle East.


In addition to having the tallest building and the largest shopping center in the world, Dubai also has the largest flower garden, the Dubai Miracle Garden. Dubai Miracle Garden is the largest flower garden in the world which has an area of about 72 thousand square meters. The opening of the garden coincides on Valentine's Day and the flower garden itself consists of 50 million flowers and 250 million plants.


Ara and Rain had already visited there. Spend time on their first night. A sense of happiness enveloped the two as they joined hands around the millions of beautiful flowers.


Although it is a metropolis that has many nightclubs, the city imposes strict regulations on alcohol. In addition to imposing strict regulations on alcohol, Dubai also prohibits cars in dirty conditions roaming around the city despite frequent sandstorms there.


According to the local government, dirty cars will tarnish the image of Dubai City which is famous for being clean and also maintaining health. If the regulation is violated, then the driver of the car will be forcibly pulled from his car and imposed a fine of 3,000 dirhams or eleven million rupiah.


Dubai has also set rules against eating and drinking on public transport such as stations, buses and pedestrian crossings. If you violate these rules, you will be fined 100 dirhams or Rp380 thousand.


Dubai is very different from other cities in the Middle East. And one of the biggest reasons why Dubai is a destination for expatriates is that it does not impose income tax. Thus, expatriates will get a full salary without having to be exposed to tax deductions like in other countries.


Most of the workers in the city come from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. And the others are from other countries. Including the USA which is Rain's home country, the man who makes Ara's heart klepek-klepek not careless.


"You tired, Ara?" After eating a lot of donuts Ara looks sleepy.


"He-it." Ara also put her body in the chair.


"Am I going to lower my chair or lean on my shoulder?" ask Rain.


"How long have we been here?" Ara also looked.


"Maybe it's about ten to fifteen more minutes." Rain added.


"Em, okay. Just drop the car seat then." Ara request.


Rain nodded, he immediately lowered the car seat so that Ara could fall asleep for a moment. The journey to fulfill this invitation takes not a moment. Not to mention the crowded events that make Ara have to adjust to the relatives of the homeowner. Until finally the girl was tired and sleepy at the side of her man.


Good night, My girl ....


Rain smiled as he saw Ara begin to tilt her body, turning her back. The girl was slowly falling asleep on the way with a man she loved.
