Laguna Redang Island Resort.
"Okay, you guys stay here while I'll do the check-in." Jamal volunteering to go to the counter and he asked Luna to send her reservation confirmation to him so that they don't need to go to the receptionist counter which is now a bit crowded with other people line up. Waiting for the check-in registration like them.
For Raymond, he also needs to send his reservation confirmation to Jamal and wait in the waiting area with them. He put down his travel backpack and took out his Hasselblad camera and his Nauticam camera housing, assembling the part and check the equipment before they went to a scuba diving activity later.
All of his action was watched by Alex who sits not too far from him, he's a bit interested in what his father was doing. He doesn't know that his father was into photography.
Lily glances at Alex and nudges him. "Go ask him if you that curious about that thing." She said and took a bottle of mineral to drink. Her dizziness is disappearing once they land on the island. She feels relief that she did not puke inside the ferry and on the boat.
Alex nod and want to stand up, but he was beaten by Brian's pace who already took a standing beside Raymond's. "So, Mr. Wayne..what are you doing here? I believe there's a five-star hotel on this island which much more like your preference. Why here though?"
Feeling infuriated by his nosy attitude, he chuckles mockingly and looks at the man. "What about you, Mr. Lawrence? You are also able to stay at the other hotel, why here though? And…using your so-called 'Fiance's' money for the trip..really gentleman, huh?"
Brian squinted his eyes a bit. There's a bit feeling in him that flared up like he wants to punch this man who dares to insult him.
Luna at the children's side sighing. She then went to the two men who look like they gonna start to wrestling in the middle of the hall if no one separates them. She went to the center of them and says, "Now now gentleman..please, don't start a fight here." Luna then looked at Raymond's way.
Again, Raymond chuckle in unbelievable. The one who starts this is that con man who lied about his identity to her and he was the one who gets the blame? Smirking, Raymond touch Luna's chin, "Of course, my dear. I only answering his question. Don't get mad." He uses his seductive tone to which makes Luna's face turn red immediately.
Move her face away from Raymond's hand, she then faces Brian at her right side. Brian then places his hand over Luna's shoulder and brings her to the other seat, not wanting that man to swayed her emotion anymore.
Luna looked at the man when they already a bit far from Raymond. "You too, Brian. We bring our kids here, so act accordingly, okay? Aren't you ashamed to the kids? You supposed to show them a good example...so, please."
"I know..I'm sorry," Brian says his sorry. "But, he always gets on my nerves. I don't know, but I really don't like anyone from the Wayne." He utters the last sentence in a low voice, however, Luna still catches the word. She squinted her eyes and tilted her head a little.
"Is Wayne do something to you too?"
Exhales, Brian lowered his head, looking at the floor before he looks at her and smiles while shaking his head. "No..forget about it." He caresses her silky hair, assuring her that it's not something important and do not ask him more than that.
The truth is..Wayne did something to him, years ago..but he thought he already overcome it and who would've thought that he still pissed off with everyone from the Wayne? Well, except for Liam.
…
After Brian and Luna went to the other seat, Alex takes a turn to sit at the side of the man. He swings his legs and just stares him with a smile on his face.
A few minutes passed and he still smiling, swinging his legs like that, makes Raymond finally give up. "What is it?" He glances at his son who keeps staring at him.
Smile widely, Alex points his index finger on his camera without saying anything make Raymond turn to look at his camera. He lifts his eyebrow a bit.
He then gives his camera to Alex. "Here you go. Take a look, if you want, I'll buy you a new one like this model." Just after Alex take the camera, he took out his phone. Contacting a dealer for this camera's model in this country. 'It's only around forty thousand dollars with the housing.'
Maybe he can give Alex a gift before he returns back to New York? 'Hmm…what else did you like? Should I buy everything he wants?' Raymond struggle with his own thought while Alex playing with his camera.
He takes a look at the photos taken by Raymond and saw there's a lot of candid photos of his mom. Each angle looks so stunningly even though he can guess that his mother doesn't even aware that her photo was taken by this stalker. Nevertheless, he admits his father was good at taking a photo.
Alex feels that there is something lack, he then pushes the button back and facing the camera's lens toward him and angle it with Raymond in the background. He smiles looking at the lens and clicks the button.
Carchak!
It was in a silent shutter mode that Alex raises his eyebrow a bit. 'Lucky me!' he giggles and looks at the photo taken. Yup, his father wasn't aware that his photo was taken by him.
'Now, you have all of us.' He feels a bit satisfied, he put the camera back into the camera housing and standing up, he gives back the camera to him. "Here."
"Ah? You're done?" He asked when suddenly Alex gives him the camera back.
Alex nodded and smile at him. "Did you like it?" Raymond asked again. Hoping that he like the model because he already purchases it online a few seconds ago.
"Yes, I very much like it," Alex said to which makes Raymond a bit relief.
"Good." He ruffles the boy's hair.
Just after he said that sentence, Jamal returns back with keycards on his hand. "Alright, we've got our room."
He then passes the keycard to each one of them and starts to go to the hotel room building.
When they arrive at the hotel corridor, all of them look at each other. "How did-" Luna was dumbfounded when they were actually placed at the same building, right next to each other.
Grinning, Jamal said. "Uh, it was me. This hotel is run by my ex-girlfriend's family. So they give us the same place."
Raymond raises his eyebrow, feeling a bit grateful to him and he was a bit amazed as to why this skinny, normal face guy can have such a wealthy girlfriend?
'Oh, wait..maybe he's also a wealthy guy?'
Without asking anymore, Luna just nods her head and pushes the door after tapping the keycard to unlock it.
