“Woah, what happens here?”
Callum is so amused by how excited Brandon and Diane are right now. Diane turned around and smiling widely at Callum.
“Oh you will, we finally realized the missing pieces of the story.”
“What missing pieces?”
Brandon and Diane looking at each other, and then Brandon grabs Callum, together they are in a hurry to the car.
“Brandon, seriously, give me some explanation first before you’re dragging me along!”
“No, there’s no time for that, the two of you please wait up for me at the car.”
Diane runs into the elevator and shouting at Brandon and Callum, seeing her goes inside the lift.
Brandon looking at Callum, “Did you brought your car?”
“Seriously? You’re borrowing my car right now.”
“Yes, your family car, you still have your Porsche!”
“No way, the car is a bit… Well, let’s just say I am using online transportation to go here.”
“Let us go wait in the car, then, I’ll explain everything in the car.”
They walk to the parking lot.
“My car, not the car.” Tease Callum.
Brandon smacks him behind his head, he dodges it, and both of them chasing each other into the parking lot, while the nurses have some good times admiring the two of them.
Diane knocking at the 303 room once again, this time, his mother open it immediately, her eyes are full of anger but Diane could see there’s another expression behind the anger, fear, and misery.
“I told you, we are going to press charges to your friend, he…”
“Please Mam, I know what exactly happened here, if you need my help, please tell your husband whereabouts. I’ll be able to help you and your son to escape from him.”
“What? How do you…”
“Ibu, sila masukkan.” (Mother, ask her to come in.)
Diane heard a faint voice of a young man from inside the room, the pickpocket teen is awake, and finally, Diane could ask him about the crucial question.
Brandon and Callum are waiting in the car, they sip their coffee when Callum asks Brandon about the previous conversation.
“Alright, so what happened before? You two look like you just solve a puzzle, together.”
Brandon could not help himself to tease Callum about it. “Are you jealous, boy?”
“You should stop, you’re just 10 months older than me.”
“Okay, okay, but just admit it, you’re jealous.”
“Brandon…”
“Right, I’ll stop. The thing is, that you gave us the biggest clues of them all.”
“What? Really?”
“Yes, you’re talking about his father.”
“Okay, what of it?”
“Also about their struggles, about the injures, don’t you think it was all happened because of how the father mistreated his wife and son?”
“Sh*t! You’re right, the father involved.”
“They want to frame Asher, maybe for money…”
“Or something else.” Says Callum.
Brandon looking at Callum, with a curious expression. “Something else?”
“Asher is a Poitier, the Poitier, someone’s out there will surely know about how the three of us here, even though we are in a real vacation where everyone doesn’t know about us.”
“F*ck! You’re right, this whole thing could go in that way as well.”
“Let us pray that it wasn’t the case, here.”
“About what?”
Diane already sitting on the passenger seat looking at Brandon and Callum in the front seat.
“Whoa! You’re scaring us, so did you have what you’re looking for?”
Diane is smiling while giving Brandon a piece of paper.
“I sure did, they give me their statement and their signature, we are good to go back to the station, now.”
“Awesome job, and you even got the father’s whereabouts, let us go back to the station now, Cal.”
Callum turn on the engine and they head into the Police station to free Asher.
Six hours later, they finally head back into their hotel room. Everyone is in the lobby, looking at them all.
“Diane, where were you? We are so worried?” Matt asking her, as soon as she arrives.
Diane feels grateful for his concern, but she just wants to get a hot shower and climbing to her bed.
“I’m fine, Matt, thank you for your concern.”
“Oh sweety, of course, we are friends, do you need anything?”
Jessica came between them and even grab Matt’s arms away from Diane. “Matt, leave her be, she just needs some rest, right, Diane?”
For once, Diane is grateful for what Jessica is doing. “Yes, you’re right, Jessica, I think I just want it to go to bed now, we have an earlier flight tomorrow.”
“We can still go to the club tonight. Should I fetch you?” Ask Matt, his eyes are full of hope.
Diane meekly smiles at him. “I think I’ll pass, Matt, I just want to have some good rest in my bed.”
Suddenly, three shadows of men behind Diane, two pairs of firm hands grip her arms.
“Then, shall we escort you to your room, my lady?” Callum whispers to her ears.
Diane is blushing and then turns around to meet with a beautiful smile of Callum.
“Let’s go, or should I carry you to your room?”
Asher teases her from behind, this time even Jessica and Matt gasping at Asher’s words.
“Asher, that’s not appropriate, come on Diane, we will accompany you to your room.”
Brandon takes Diane’s hand and together the four of them goes into the elevator, leaving Matt and Jessica gaping their mouth, seeing Diane together with the three of them.
Diane just glancing at three men inside the elevator.
“I’m hungry though.” She blurted out before she even realize it.
The three of them chuckling, Brandon swipes his key card and then presses the button to the highest floor of the hotel.
“Wait! Where are you taking me?”
“Relax, princess, we know you’re starving, so we ask Ms. Penny to give us the authorization to go to the rooftop restaurant.” Answer Asher.
“Wait, I thought the rooftop restaurant only open at night?”
A ding sound of an elevator surprises her. She now stares at the amazing daylight rooftop restaurant that just open solely for them.
Diane sitting with the three men, her eyes looking around the restaurant, still can’t believe her luck, this restaurant is one of the top posh restaurants in Kuala Lumpur, they have a waiting list at night, and now, she eating here in daylight, just the four of them.
“Diane, I thought you were hungry?” Callum chuckles, apparently so amused by how Diane just ogling around the area.
“Oh, right, excuse me, hmm… what should I choose?”
“You should try their local cuisine, Chef. Ahmad is famous for it.” Brandon talks to her while looking at the menu.
“I’m sorry, who?” Diane looking at Brandon with a curious look.
“The main chef of this restaurant, I… like to read a restaurant guides magazine, he was on front page two months ago.” Brandon looking at her awkwardly and giving her a nervous smile.
“Oh really? What’s the name of the magazine? I would love to read about him?”
Asher and Callum, couldn’t even keep a straight face after a while, Brandon then kick their legs under the table.
“Ow!! Why do you kicking me?”
Diane glaring at Brandon while she looking at her legs.
“I… I am so sorry, I must have missed Asher’s legs.”
Asher, who was in the middle of looking at Diane’s possibly injured feet, glancing fiercely at Brandon.
“On his defense, he thought because you’re so tall, he just needs to kick a bit short, he got me through.” Says Callum smirking at Brandon.
“Thankfully, Diane’s leg was fine, so should we order the food now?”
Brandon clearing his throat, and whispers at Diane to say sorry, Diane though still a tad uncomfortable, smiling at Brandon so he could stop feeling bad for the incident.
After the incident, they have a pretty good time chatting and enjoying the food. After like an hour and a half, Diane walking with a full belly, and a smile plastered on her face.
“Oh wow, so the quotes about through a man’s heart is through his belly, not just intended for a man, apparently.” Says Callum staring at Diane with some amusement on his face.
“Yes, you got it right, good food is all you need to get through my heart “ Answer Diane, grinning ear to ear, and then she remember something. “It was nice of the chef to come and check on us when we finished eating, I never have that kind of treatment before.”
“Oh, yes, Chef Ahmad, maybe because if Ms. Penny, she’s so nice to ask for Chef Ahmad to cook for us, what an honor,” Brandon answering Diane, and then using his card to enter Diane’s floor.
“But, he knows all of your names.”
“Oh, look we are here, shall we, my lady.” Says Callum in a hurry.
“But…”
“Brandon and I have some business to do, we will let Callum escort you back, we will see you tomorrow at the airport.” Asher smiling at her and then pressing the button, the elevator then closed before Diane could even talk further.
“So, what’s your room number?” Ask Callum while looking around the floor.
Diane, still couldn’t believe what just happened, now just in disbelief. “I… room number 707.”
Callum takes her hand and slips it into his arm. “Your knight will escort you properly to your room, my lady.”
She giggles, Callum is one of the easygoing people that she ever met, not to mention easy on the eyes as well.
“So, do you like your room?” Ask Callum, suddenly.
“Yes, I love them so much, it’s spacious and has the amenities that I need it, bit to mention the free room service.”
“Good, good, how about their cleaning service, or the receptionist? Was it good?”
Diane stops walking and takes out her key card from her purse, she stares at Callum before entering her room. “You know, you’re asking me questions like you’re the one that owns this place.”
He smiles, she could see cute dimples appear on his right cheek, make him cuter than before, and before he was already godly cuter.
“What would you say if I say yes?”
Diane gasp, while Callum tilted his head staring at Diane, curious about her answer.
