It's getting dark. The most awaited sight for everyone. They enjoy the beauty of the sun that begins to set.
The lights on the street started to emit light. The shops started to get crowded at night.
Zack, Via, the twins, Lili and Blair decide to return to Villa to rest. Louis greeted them from the outside.
"Welcome to you!"
"What are you doing here? Where's Stella?" Ask Zack.
"He's inside, thank you Duke, Via has taken care of Lucinda"
"Together Louis! Oh yeah how's Stella? Is she okay?" Ask Via.
"Ah. that... Looks like I have some good news and some bad news for you guys"
"What's wrong? Just tell Louis!"
"Huf... The bad news is me, Stella, and Lucinda will be back first. So the holidays are just here"
"Then the good news?" said Zack.
"Good news... Lucinda's gonna have a sister!" Louis's face immediately turned happy.
"Huh? Did ya? Stella's pregnant?" Said Via. Louis replied with a nod. Via directly approached Stella who was in the room.
THE CZECH...
"Stella?"
"Ah? Via... You're back apparently"
She hugged Stella.
"Wait, what's going on?"
"I'm so happy for you Stella!"
"Have you heard from Louis? I'm also very happy Via, but sorry I have to go back home. I'm really not feeling well worrying that I'm going to trouble you guys..." Stella.
"What did you say? You don't bother Stella at all"
"It's okay Via, at home is indeed the most comfortable place for me. After you've returned, come visit my house"
"Well Stella, let me help you!" Via helps Stella clean up some of Stella's belongings.
"Duke! Don't forget this is your chance for tomorrow!" Louis.
"Huf... Alright!"
...****************...
The three of them finally left Southdiff. Those who were still in the villa prepared to rest.
Same with Via and Zack. The atmosphere in the villa was very awkward. Because they were both there.
Via was silent in his room. He tried to sleep but could not. Finally he decided to go downstairs. To go down he passed through Zack's room.
"Is he sleeping now?" mummy Via. He continued his journey down.
All rooms are like living rooms, the living room is very dark, it signifies that there is no one there. But unlike the kitchen, the lights are lit like never before.
There was a noise coming from the kitchen. Via decided to go there. Who knows if some bad guy sneaks into the villa. He settles down slowly to determine if there are really bad people.
As soon as Via's steps came to a halt, there was a very tantalizing smell of food.
"Hmm? Is there a bad guy cooking here?" Mumbled Via. When Via ventured to see him, he was surprised not the bad guy but Zack who was cooking in the kitchen.
"Du-Duke?!" Pekik. Zack who looked solemn was surprised to hear Via's voice which was quite loud.
"Huh? Vi-via's? What are you doing these nights?"
Via could only sigh at Zack's words.
"What are you doing in the kitchen by yourself? I just couldn't sleep, so I decided to go downstairs"
"Well, it's good that you wake up. I'm cooking, so you just wait" Zack resumed his cooking.
Via only watched Zack from behind. She remembers when Zack made her a hot chocolate drink. It was the first time he had seen and tried what Zack had done.
"It's ready! Let's eat!" said Zack. He started giving a bowl of food to serve to Via.
Via started trying Zack's cooking.
"Hmm...? Waw! Yummy...!"
"Haha... Really true?" Zack also started trying his cooking.
"I think it's lacking" said Zack.
"How come? Is there any food better than this?"
"Yes there! It turned out that it was true that my grandmother's cooking no one could match her. Though all the ingredients and steps are in perfect accordance with what my grandmother taught me!" said Zack.
"Not what Duke is, it means you can only reminisce about that taste and create a new flavor that you made yourself. Your grandmother must be so proud to see you now..." Said Via.
"Bright... You right! Thank you for saying that"
"Together Duke!" They both enjoyed the meal until it was gone.
"Good! Since you've cooked all this, it's my turn to wash this!" Said Via.
"No need! Let me" Sela Zack.
"No Duke, let me wash it. Maybe you can tidy up a little bit of that there..." Via said while pointing towards the place he had previously made a place to cook.
"Alright, Wahh... It turns out to be so bad if I cook..." The word Zack followed a small laugh from Via.
...****************...
Sea water sounds like music at night. The stars that adorn the sky and the beautiful moon.
After finishing cleaning the kitchen, they decided to go out and take a walk on the beach.
"Are you really not sleepy?" Ask Zack.
"Really Duke! I'm not sleepy yet... Just a few more days we are here, I do not want to leave the moment to enjoy the night on this very beautiful beach...." Said Via.
Do I have to say it? What if he refuses? Inner Zack.
"Eum... Via, I'd like to take you tomorrow night to the festival. Do you want to come?" zack said a little nervously.
Wah... Did Zack just ask me out? Inner Via.
"Festival huh? Can be! It looks like a lot of fun!" Said Via.
Zack smiled happily at it.
"The weather is very cold... Want to hold hands?" Zack said as he gave his hand.
"Of course!" Via returned Zack's hand. The two of them walked down the beach holding hands.
It was a beautiful night for both of them. Only the two of them spend time together.
But who would have thought from a distance there were people who had noticed them.
"Gee... Whoa... What a beautiful sight!"
"Yes! They are so romantic!"
"Hey! Can we not interfere in their relationship? Without us they can also spend time together!"
"That's.. You're a Leo! Of course we have to interfere in their relationship. Let's just think, what if there's Louis and Stella in that villa. They definitely can't do something like this right now!" Said Lea.
"Huf... It's up to you! But it's night, we better rest! You're not tired huh after being chased by that crazy dog?" Said Leo. He reminded when they were walking in the city, they accidentally met a mad dog and chased after them.
"Surely Miss Lea, it's already night... What if we get caught by them?" Said Blair.
"Arghh! All right, let's go back! My fatigue also paid off after seeing them" Lea said with a happy smile.
