One Night Only
Beachside

Astrid gets off the bus, she sees Collin's car. As Astrid approaches the car, Collin, who sees Astrid coming from the rearview mirror, exits the car.

"You've come?" Questions from Collin. He noticed Astrid who appeared beautiful, making Collin amazed.

"Mrs. Li, he's a little late for me" Astrid explained. There was a hint of jealousy in Collin's eyes when Astrid mentioned Feng.

"You look beautiful" praised Collin. Astrid smiled blushed in embarrassment at Collin's praise. Astrid Collin never praised her. "We'd better get in. It's a little cold" Collin asked, leading Astrid into the car. Collin opens the car door and tells Astrid to go inside.

Collin then ran small towards the driving seat. He saw Astrid who had forgotten to put on her seatbelt. Collin approaches Astrid, making Astrid nervous. Although, they are often together. However, Collin never showed the attention he was today.

Astrid hoped Collin would kiss her, she closed her eyes. But the kiss did not come. When seat belt sound is attached. It was only when Astrid realized that Collin was helping her with her seatbelt.

Astrid thinks this incident has also happened. Is that Collin's camper too? But why did Astrid actually remember Feng? Astrid moved her head left and right. In order not to remember Feng. Why should he remember Feng?

"Where are you going?" collin asked, he drove the car slowly. They did not realize that Feng was following him.

"I want us to go to the beach" Astrid said.

"Are you not bored? We live on the beach and meet the sea every day" Collin sneered. But, still he turned the car towards their home.

"You're right, it's just that I feel like I haven't been walking on the beach for a long time, you know the cottage by the coconut tree, it's so comfortable there, I want to breathe beach air" Astrid explained.

"We should stop by the mini market to buy drinks and snacks," Collin bargained. He's headed for the minimarket near there.

"True, I like the idea,"

Collin parked the car in the minimarket. Collin opened the door for Astrid to come out. Astrid was very happy with Collin's treatment. Astrid forgot that she was married. For him now was Collin and Astrid's feelings towards Collin had not changed.

They choose the food and drink to buy. Astrid also bought packaged noodles for them to eat at the beach.

"You haven't eaten, have you?" astrid asked, she told Collin that she was going to buy noodles.

"May, I haven't eaten yet" Collin replied. They shopped jokingly, Collin occasionally showed his attention to Astrid. Astrid likes Collin even more.

They pay for food and get back in the car. Feng only noticed their interaction with feelings of jealousy. However, it can't do anything. Feng did not want to be selfish which would cause him to lose Astrid forever. Feng bought drinks and snacks as well. Astrid and Collin were unaware of Feng's presence. Feng wore a mask and a hat-jacket so that it covered his face.

Feng followed where Collin's car stopped. They stopped at a cottage under a coconut tree. Feng remembered that he had been here with Kevin. And this place is Kevin's idea to open fresh from the sea formed.

Collin and Astrid got out of their car carrying a grocery bag and sat there.

"I want to take a walk and walk down the beach" Astrid said.

"I'll accompany you." Collin gave his hand to be grabbed by Astrid.

Astrid runs and is chased by Collin, making Feng even more jealous. Feng got out of the car and squeezed the can of drink. He throws the can with all his might to vent his frustration.

Astrid chases the waves, then retreats backwards as the waves head towards the shoreline. Collin followed what Astrid had done. They laugh together.

"You're acting like a kid who just met the beach" Collin quipped he's still following Astrid's moves.

"And why are you following him, too" led Astrid. He saw a twig and took it, he saw a gibberish coming in and out of the sand. Astrid squatted down and watched him. Collin just saw what Astrid did. Collin felt like he saw Astrid when they were kids. Astrid sanga likes to collect gibbons. Even they sell to be the toys of city children. Both of them always looking for a prankster every school holiday. Because usually on weekends and school holidays, many families spend vacation time with family on the beach of the village of Venetia. The results of the sale of these people will be saved and if they have accumulated a lot they will buy what they want. Usually it is something that their parents cannot afford.

Astrid caught one of the gibbons and placed it in her palm. The corm got into his shell.

"Come out, don't be ashamed" Astrid said, calling a prankster.

"Now you can speak animal? Especially pranksters?" collin ridicules Astrid's adorable behavior. I don't know why Collin saw Astrid differently.

"I think I should learn it." Astrid smiled, Collin rubbed Astrid's hair.

"You're a little different" Collin said. She did feel that Astrid was a little different. However, Collin liked Astrid now.

"Different? What's?" astrid was surprised, she looked at Collin.

"Now you've become beautiful and not like Astrid before" Collin replied.

"And which one do you like now?" Astrid turned her eyes away from Collin.

Not yet able to answer Collin, the waves approached towards them, Collin pulled Astrid to avoid them from the waves. The pull caused them to fall into the sand.

Astrid laughed at their stupidity. Instead of standing, they slept and faced the sky filled with stars. Even though, the night was not too late. Maybe it's eight o'clock in the night.

"It's so beautiful, I just found out, if by lying down like this, we'll be able to see this very precious sight. Maybe because we are used to seeing the beach, we do not pay too much attention to it and miss something beautiful like this," Astrid explained staring at the night sky.

"You're right. We don't realize it" Collin replied. Collin's point is that he just realized Astrid's existence as a woman right now. All this time he had only considered Astrid as the younger sister he had to protect, nothing more. And now his eyes have opened. Collin wants to have Astrid as his lover.
