Czechoslovakia!

Czechoslovakia!

Czechoslovakia!

Rain smiled happily to see Joey who had been unceasingly photographing. Be it selfies themselves, selfies together and also memtroet what he thinks is interesting along the way. This trip was also the first time for him to board a plane and get out of town.

“Happy?” ask Rain to Joey. Now they were in a Vellfire car heading to the inn that Harry had booked.

Joey who had been staring out the window to enjoy the beauty of the city of Bali where lined temples and offerings almost on every side of the road, now he turned to look towards Rain.

“Hmm... I'm so happy,” said Joey while nodding and carving a smile that was so wide. Then the girl turned her head back to the window, enjoying the city famous for the honeymoon couple.

Rain grabbed Joey's left hand, as the girl was now sitting to his right. He held it tightly in the girl's hand.

“I promise I will take you to beautiful places,” murmured Rain softly in heart.

Shortly after, their car entered a very beautiful yard. From the outside, the building looks so aesthetic because the architecture of the building is very rarely encountered. Moreover, there are several ornaments of statues and offerings that are neatly arranged in certain places.

Rain opened his car door, as it seemed that the driver had been waiting outside with his wheelchair. The driver did not want to open the car door first for fear of being presumptuous and considered rude. After that, the driver helped get Rain to sit in his wheelchair.

“Let me just push my husband, Bli,” Joey told the young man who was carrying the car they were riding in, then he cupped his hands to his chest while saying thank you politely in Balinese. “Suksma temperature.”

Rain immediately turned his head upwards, looking towards his wife. The man frowned in astonishment. How does the girl know that ‘Bli’ is a call for men in Bali? How can he know thank you in Balinese?

“Why? I pinter ‘kan?” Joey smiled. He feels proud of himself for being able to blend in quickly in a place he has often wanted to visit long ago.

“Tau from where?” asked Rain with a curious face.

“Eyyy.. Om, this is modern times. We can search on google!” jeered Joey while throbbing.

Both of them laughed at the short talk. Later, Joey pushed her husband's wheelchair and headed for the lobby entrance. There, there were some people who looked like employees of the inn. The reason is, all of them use the emblem on the chest and hold a handy talky as a communication tool.

“Om Swastiastu,” greet some of the employees of the inn while putting their hands to the chest and smiling sincerely.

Joey nodded his head while cupping his hands to his chest to return the welcome from the employees, as did Rain, the man following what his wife was doing.

“Pak Rain, I am Adhi as the director of operations at this hotel,” said a middle-aged man who came closer to Rain. “Thank you for staying at our hotel. An honor to us.”

“Hahaha...thank you for giving a warm welcome like this,” Rain said while smiling.

“If you don't mind, our staff would like to put on a tridatu bracelet for Mr and this young Miss,” Adhi said. Then there is a Balinese girl wearing a traditional Balinese kebaya dress approaching them while in her hand holding two strings that will be tied in the hands of Joey and Rain.

“Bracelet?” Rain frowned.

“The tridatu bracelet can give us a gift and distance ourselves from the danger,” joked Joey who since then his eyes sparkled looking at the object being held by a typical Balinese girl. He was very excited about his first trip this time.

“Nah... right,” says Adhi while smiling gleefully.

“Okay,” said Rain while tilting his head.

“Sorry, what can I do while in the video-kan process of using the bracelet?” pinta Joey to one of the staff who had been standing up to welcome their arrival.

“Bby. Can.” Sahut Adhi fast.

Then one of the girls addressed by Joey approached and captured the moment where her right hand and her husband were tied to a tridatu bracelet. When he finished, Joey saw his right hand tied with a tridatu bracelet with a satisfied and excited look on his face. For some reason, with just a bracelet his smile really widened.

“Mas Rain?” there was a strange male baritone voice in Joey's ear calling out her husband's name. He looked to the left and to the right looking for the source of the sound.

“Ah... sorry I forgot to give info,” said Adhi while slightly pulled over and gave way to a man who was sturdy with a white beach dress.

“Pak Zayn Ravindra also just arrived today and will stay for a few days,” continued Adhi with a smile.

Rain's facial complexion was originally happy and happy because he thought that the honeymoon he was going to go through with Joey went smoothly, it suddenly became gloomy to learn that Zayn, his half-brother, was also in the inn. Shouldn't the man be in Jakarta? His arrival from America ‘kan today?

“Hallo, Mas Rain! And ..” Zayn turned a glance towards Rain, then he turned to look at Joey who made his eyes not stop blinking, “hallo, Sister-in-law.”

The brown-haired man with a heart-shaped face widened his smile towards Joey while thrusting a hand. Without the slightest bit of bad feelings for Rain's stepbrother, Joey grabbed and shook Zayn's hand. Joey thought at the time, she should have a good relationship with the Rain family, even though her husband's parents had not given her blessing.

“My sister-in-law is prettier than I imagined,” muttered Zayn with a gaze that even though she did not let go of Joey's enchanting face.

“Pak Adhi, we want to rest immediately,” Rain who had been uncomfortable with the presence of Zayn, he decided not to linger in the lobby.

“True, Sir. They are still jetlagged,” said Zayn assented Rain's words while staring at Adhi. “Please provide my dinner and my two families tonight yes.”

Joey who at that time did not know anything, he looked excited because his brother-in-law gave a warm welcome and gave positive energy because of his friendly attitude. For some reason, in Joey's mind at this time, Zayn is a family that will always be friendly and warm to him. That girl is really innocent! Not necessarily all that is good and smooth in the eye, will be the same as all that is invisible before the eye.
