My Toni Is Mr. Anthony
Chapter 80 - First Sight

First View

"Rottnest Island is a habitat island of quokka, one of Australia's endemic animals. The cute animal has something to do with the origin of the name of the island. There are approximately 12,000 free-living quokkas on Rottness Island." A guide explains and directs Eliana and Toni to a location that is believed to be often found wandering Quokka. Then he continued his explanation.

"Willem de Vlamingh, captain of a Dutch ship that in 1696 explored the island. Over the course of 6 days, he discovered many 'big rats' because of their rat-like shape, but cat-like size. From there he named the island as 'rat nest' aka a rat nest. Then it becomes Rottnest" added the driver.

Toni and Eliana nodded - nodding listening to the guide's explanation. To see Quokka, they had to rent a bicycle. Toni rents a few bikes for their troupe. They were riding bicycles all the way.

"Oh, my goodness. That's them! There! There!" exclaim Eliana. He stopped his bike at the edge of a park and pointed in a direction near a tree.

Toni, the guide and the others also stopped the bike, they followed the direction of Eliana's finger pointing in one direction.

Waw! They were really there. Reply looking at her adorable style. Not afraid or running away. The guide led them to walk up to Quokka who was standing on their hind legs. Their two front legs were raised holding the leaves.

The driver codes Toni and Eliana to approach. "The animal is friendly. We can take pictures with them, take selfies or hold them. But they are protected by law, if we don't take good care of them then we can be fined."

"May I take a picture now?" ask Eliana slowly. He's got his new cell phone that Toni gave him before they left.

Driver nodded. "Of course you can. You can even take a selfie with him.

Once you get the aba - the aba from the driver, Eliana slowly - slowly moves forward.

"Just take a picture. Can't feed and touch." The driver gave a warning to Eliana.

Toni stood behind Eliana who was crouching to photograph the Australian animal. The animal has round black eyes, its cheeks are puffy and when its tiny mouth is open, it will look like it is laughing. Perhaps because of this, the animal got the nickname as the happiest animal on earth.

"Oh... , my goodness! So cute.... " Eliana continued to comment while her hand was busy photographing the animal from various angles. It seems that the little animal was also attracted to Eliana, her eyes moving - motion following wherever Eliana went.

"It looks like you can already take a picture with him, Mrs. Peterson. He's getting used to you." said the guide with a happy smile. As a native Australian, there is pride in itself when a traveler is amazed at their natural wealth.

Eliana followed the guide's direction, positioning her body near the animal but keeping a distance so as not to touch. Then he took a picture of himself and Quokka.

"Look! He's smiling! He's smiling!" exclaim Eliaan glee. He was right - like a child who had just gotten a new toy. The child's soul appears.

Toni laughed at the happy expression of Eliana. Nothing else could beat the relief she felt when she saw Eliana was able to laugh freely.

"Can I join?" ask Toni.

"Ayooooo's.... The chunky! Hunt him off." eliana said quickly. His eyes could not help but look at Quokka.

Toni approached with heart, trying not to surprise the animal. But it seems like this animal is used to the photo. He would open his mouth like he was smiling, every time the camera aimed at him.

"Cute! It's cute!" I don't know how many times, Eliana said those words. Her happiness makes people around her happy. They came along - took pictures of the animal.

About five minutes later, the animal disappeared behind a tree. "Well, she wants to go home" said Eliana.

Toni chuckles and embraces Eliana's shoulder, then pulls her closer and kisses Eliana's head fondly.

"How are you feeling?" ask Toni.

"More than happy" he said, turning to Toni for the first time since he had become fascinated with Quokka. "Thank you, Toni. It's my first time going to Australia."

"Oh, but it's not free" Toni said with a smile.

"Huh?"

"Kiss me for the pay."

Heh? Eliana's cheeks met with red, sweet smile on the lips made Toni could not bear to see the beautiful face of his wife. Without a cue, he caught Eliana's face and kissed her on the lips.

"Hey, you can do it in your room later after coming home from here." scolded the guide while chuckling.

"Aren't you hungry?" ask Toni to the unbored Eliana - her boss photographed hundreds of Quokka poses. The gallery is full of pictures of the animal.

"Ugh, but I wanted to bring her home." lamented Eliana, not wanting to part with the animal that arrived - suddenly became her favorite.

"Oh, sorry Mrs. Peterson. You can't take it out of its habitat." said the guide who patiently explained that Australian society is very overprotective of their endemic animals. And Eliana wanted to understand the reason expressed by the tour guide.

They returned to pedaling bicycles to the rental place and rest in the cafe there. Tony ordered a lot of food for them all.

Toni clasped Eliana's hand and stroked the ring on her finger. The woman leaned her back while exhaling a satisfied breath. Then they wait for the order to come.

"Eliana, how are you feeling?" ask Toni. Every time he would ask to make sure Eliana was really happy and comfortable enjoying their trip.

"Capek, but I'm happy." replied Eliana while paying attention to the pleasant atmosphere of the cafe.

"It looks like you're excited to see Quokka."

Eliana. "Oh, really like it. I fell in love at first sight." replied Eliana. He pulled his hand from Toni's grasp and pulled out his phone to look back - look at the shots.

Toni scolds and says. "Hm. lest my position be replaced by Quokka - that Quokka."

Eliana laughed and leaned into Toni. "I think your position and this Quokka are the same." whispered Eliana as she gave a smile.

Toni snorted, offended at how her position might be equated to that of a Quokka. Really - really outrageous.

"Just like you, Toni. I wanted to take you home when we first met. Maybe at that time I was in love with you, but I didn't realize it." Eliana continued.

Toni blinked when she heard Eliana's explanation. She didn't expect Eliana to say something that made her feelings soar. Eliana loved it from the first moment they met.

Unpreventably, a smile was etched on Toni's lips Toni's cheeks and her cheeks slightly met red with a shy blushing expression.

A Peterson Group CEO who usually faces thousands of employees is now subdued under the feet of an Eliana. His reaction was as true as a high school boy who had just fallen in love.

Eliana laughed at Toni's slightly misbehaved face. "What's wrong? You don't believe my words?" ask Eliana.

Eh?

Toni looks at Eliana but doesn't know what to say. She was embarrassed to be frank about her current feelings.

Not waiting for Toni to answer, Eliana once again said, "Trust me. I love you in the first sight, Toni."

Whoa!

Toni's feeling like she wants to explode because she's happy. This was the first time Eliana had said I love you since they first met. Every time, what that woman says is I love you, Toni.

During this time Toni felt enough with the affection of Eliana. But today, the words I love you felt different in his heart.

Special moments from Eliana to Toni.
