CHAPTER 16

“Hmmm… Bro where are you going?” Damon asked while rubbing his eyes. Damon was asleep when he heard noises beside him. 

Aku looked at Damon “I will go to Zara’s house… didn’t I tell you that yesterday before we slept?”. Damon thinks back, after they went to the beach and watched the sunset…

Yesterday at the Beach…

“Wow this beach is so beautiful and peaceful… though I thought that this place would be popular. Why can’t we see any people here?” Damon said, looking at Aku. 

Aku looked at Damon, Audrey and then lastly Zara. Zara was a bit guilty, she did know why there is no one in the beach right now. Before they went to the beach his father called her and then asked her about her day… After that she asked permission to go home late because she wants to see the sunset. 

Now looking at the place she knows now why there are no people on the beach and why her dad easily let her watch the sunset. “Isn’t this much better we can have the beach for ourselves today!” Audrey said while smiling.

There are a few hours before the sunset, so they play beach volleyball “It sure is a great idea to buy the beach ball… we could play until it’s time to watch the sunset” Aku said while tossing the ball. 

Aku and Zara are in team 1 vs. Damon and Audrey are team 2… They play and when they get tired they eat the food they bought in the mall.

...

While watching the sunset, Zara looked at Aku, she whispered something to Aku “Only me?” Aku asked, Zara nod, she was a bit red while nodding. After their confirmation they continue to watch the sunset…

…

“Ohhh… I remember… I asked you what did Zara whispered in your ear and then you told me that she did invite you on her house…” Damon said, he was sitting in the bed watching Aku. 

“Yes sleepyhead” Aku said… Aku went in the door and said “hey clean the room… so messy!” and leave the room…

Outside... Aku is waiting for the cab, he looked at his cellphone, to see the text of Zara. Zara texted Aku her address, she planned to give Aku a gift that is why she invited Aku to her house… a few minutes later the cab came and parked in front of Aku…

...

Aku arrived at the house of Zara, he was shocked to see the big mansion in front of him. “Her house was so big… What can you say? Her family is the owner of one of the biggest companies in the world. Aku rings the bell, while waiting he saw a maid coming towards the guard, the guard immediately opened the gate.

“Sir… please do come in” … in front of the door, a guy… he looks like a doctor went out “thank you! sir will call you again if ever something had happened” Mia said, her mouth is smiling but her eyes were kind of a bit sad. 

Mia notices Aku at the side, “Ohhh… dear you’re here!” she was a bit shocked. “hmm… Aunty good morning… is there someone sick?” Aku was a bit curious. 

Mia smiled forcefully “Ahh! I was not feeling well when I woke up… so my husband called the doctor… haha he was worried for nothing!” Mia answered.

Aku went inside, he saw how luxurious the house is. “Wait here a bit… I will call Zara” Mia said while smiling towards Aku. 

Aku smiled back and sat down on the sofa… While waiting a maid went towards him and offered him some refreshment. 

“Thank you” he said to the maid, the maid just smiled… Sitting on the couch he heard some giggling coming from the way the maid came from… 

“Oh MY!! He smiled at me… HE WAS SO HANDSOME!” the maid who delivered the refreshment said. The other maid looked at him from afar “she was our miss visitor so BEHAVE!” she scolded. 

“But…” the maid stopped when she saw the head maid looking at her.

...

Few minutes later, Zara went down… she was smiling towards Aku. Mia saw how happy Zara is and she was carrying a camera “My daughter was so in love” she said to herself. Mia was watching on the side, looking at the interaction of the two love birds.

“Sorry for the wait!” Zara said, smiling beautifully. Aku was so stunned that he couldn’t utter a word and just shake his head. He thought ‘She was so beautiful today and her smile...’. 

“I invite you today… I planned to bake a cake for you as a thanks for helping me fulfill my bucket list” Zara said. 

Aku looked at Zara a bit confused “you don’t have to” he smiled. “Just looking at you smiling and having fun is enough...” he added. Zara was stunned to hear what Aku said, her face felt a bit hot and she was blushing. 

Mia on the side looking at the two people “Aku sure is a smooth talker… that's why Zara fell for him huh!” she said, the head maid at the side of Mia looked at her master with a shocked face… 

“No… wait here and I will bake a cake for you” Zara said, she really wants to repay Aku for all his kindness to her. 

Aku smiled “then if you really want it… then all I can do is accept” he looked at Mia and thought of something “But… can I have one request?” Aku asked. 

Zara who was smiling and happy knowing Aku accepted her gift looked at Aku “sure…what is it?”. “I want to help you in baking a cake,” Aku smiled at Zara like a naughty kid. 

“it’s more fun doing it together than I wait here for you to finish,” Aku explained. Zara can’t retaliate to Aku’s explanation and she could only agree to him…
