Andrea was still standing thinking if she will accept his help. She remembers what her grandma told her about this kind of guy. There are a lot of what if's running in her mind. "What if he's a bad guy? What if...?"

"Look, Miss, I was just trying to help, now if you don't trust me it's fine!" he took a step about to leave Andrea.

"If... If I'm not going to be a bother I'll appreciate your help," she said in a shy voice.

"Ok then, follow me!" he said authoritatively as he walked past her.

Andrea prayed silently for her safety while walking when he suddenly stopped.

"By the way, it's Ibrahil!" he extended his arms in front of her.

She shook his hand and smiled.

"I'm Andrea," she said and pulled it back.

They started walking again.

"Andrea. Hmm, your name suits you well," he said trying to let out a small laugh trying to fill the air between them. Without getting any response he looked at her and said. "We're almost there Andrea, be careful when you walk out here at night. There's no electricity and no phone signal around. If ever you want to buy some goods and some stuff, there is a small grocery store right there," he pointed at the north side of the Island.

She looked in the direction he pointed. "Uhuh! Thank you Ibrahil, and sorry about what happened earlier at the minibar," she smiled apologetically.

"Oh, that? Forget it. It happens every time you know. A bartender, a shipper," he said while laughing.

"Oh, that bad?" she laugh at the thought.

They had a fun conversation without realizing they already reached the place. It is so amazing looking at those same sizes and shapes nipa huts with hanging flowering plants all over them. Dahlias and roses are everywhere. There's a well-designed deep well in the middle of the place. There are tree houses too designed as miniature castles with a hanging bridge connecting from each treehouse and of course with hanging flowering plants makes it looks like paradise. The ground has lawn grasses full of petals from the hanging plants.

"Oh my God, Ibrahil! What is this place you just brought me? Is this for real?" Andrea still can't believe her eyes. She was so mesmerized by the surrounding.

"It's good to know you liked it. My place is even better than here," he answered. "Can you stay here for a while? Let me look for my friend, he might be somewhere around here."

"Ok then, take your time," she smiled at him as if she's saying she'll be alright. She sat at the lawn grasses as she played those petals around. It feels like home that her tiredness is gone. She grabbed her luggage and was about to open it when Ibrahil arrived. He is with a long-haired guy almost good looking as him only that this guy seems older. She stood up and walk towards them.

"Hi! You must be Ibrahil's friend? I'm Andrea," she smiles at him while she just waved her hand.

The guy looked at Ibrahim as if he was surprised before talking to her. Something strange. She then again asked herself, "Am I really safe here?"

"Hello, Andrea. I'm Wahid, Welcome to Biri Island," he said while he gave her a welcoming smile.

"UGH!" Andrea throw herself to bed as she felt the tiredness after the long day. She chooses to stay in this castle-like treehouse. This really made her happy. It's almost past seven in the evening now she can't even take a hot shower after the long day. It's dark outside, she's scared going down to the bathroom to even wash herself. "Nevermind, tomorrow I will swim all day," said her mind while hugging one of the soft pillows. She dozed herself to sleep early with help of that nostalgic nightlamp.

Andrea woke up with that loud knock on her door.
She rolled off her bed and stretched out her arms.

"Oh, seriously?!" She got up and walk through the door while yawning! She looked at the peephole first before opening it.

"Oh my goodness!" She said while in panic. Its Ibrahil! She hasn't even washed her face yet, or gargle or something! She looks like a mess for sure, how Is she going to face him? She went back to bed pretending she's still asleep. She snapped and realizes why is she acting like some kind of a teenager having her first crush? "Common Andrea!" She pinch her cheeks, got up again, grabbed her robe, and opened the door.

"Hi, good morning Andy," Ibrahil said with that broad smile. He handed out a basket full of bread and a bottle of milk.
"I brought you this, for your breakfast. I know you missed your dinner last night."

Andrea was dancing in her thoughts. "Oh, goodness what's with the nickname? He's so sweet."

"Good morning!"

She took the basket from him while having that beaming smile on her face. "Thank you Ibrahil, so kind of you! Can you wait for me downstairs let me just fix myself, and then let's eat together?" she offered.

"I'd love to do that but I actually need to go now, I have some errands to do at my villa so maybe next time?" He said while scratching the back of his neck.

"Good!" Said her mind. She still needs to shower and it will take some time.

"Oh, ok. See you around then," she said as she waved goodbye.

He started going down the stairs when he looked back again. "By the way, you looked good today Andy, see you around!" he smiled and left

She closed the door and giggled.
"OMG!!!"

After taking a bath, she ate her breakfast, assembled her DSLR camera, and arrange her things in her backpack. Extra clothes, towels, swimmies, lotion, wallet. All check!

She was wearing a simple white shirt pairing brown shorts with white sneakers with a white cap. This is gonna be a tough but happy day. She left her place after asking permission from Wahid. Her landlord.
