Chereads / It’s Your Love: A Stupid Mistake / Chapter 4 - To Malacca

Chapter 4 - To Malacca

How did they come up going to Malacca?

Gael's father planned the concert tour without his consent. He planned it before informing him because he knows Gael wouldn't accept the offer if he will tell to him first.

"Gael you have a concert tour," Mr. Co said to him while they were inside the car holding a bunch of documents in his lap. While Gael is driving the car.

"What? Where?", Gael asked while he gazed at him with his questionable looking face.

"We are flying to Malacca tomorrow," Mr. Co continued. While he's still on focus to the documents he was holding.

"Your father——," Mr. Co said at the same time with Gael.

"Who decided ——," Gael says at the same time with Mr. Co, while he stepped on the break and the car stops in the middle of the road.

"SCREEEECH!", the squealing sound by the friction applied on a car breaks.

Gael suddenly looked at Mr. Co with his angry looking face.

"Who told you to accept the offer without even telling me?!", Gael's utter angrily.

He suddenly felt betrayed. While gripped on tight to the steering wheel like he were going to punch on something or someone.

"I am sorry about that, but you know your father enough that if he says to do this we should follow his order without any questions," Mr. Co responded to his undesirable reaction with his news towards him.

But still he can't do anything about it but to go, because the Chief Minister in the city they are going is a closed friend of their family.

And Mr. Wong always requesting the presence of Gael in his beloved city in celebration for the feast day of St. Peter. It does celebrated every year and tomorrow is the start of the first four days of the celebration.

June 26, 2017 at 6:00 in the morning they fly to Malacca with their private plane. Inside the plane is Gael, Mr. Co, Amelia (PA), the flight attendant, and Captain Drake Holmes (the pilot). Gael wearing a hoodie jacket, rugged pants with his baseball cap and his headphone listening to his music while in his seat. The flight attendant walk towards him.

"Do you want anything sir?", she asked politely with a smile on her lips.

Gael answered through his hand gesture like 'It's okay I don't need anything' and he didn't even gazed not even a bit to the flight attendant.

"Can you please bring us a wine here please," Mr. Co politely asked the flight attendant.

"For a while sir", responded by her and went to the cabin and get some wine for Mr. Co and Amelia.

Suddenly the plane's movement gone wrong. The pilot lost control of the plane. And suddenly Gael's and the other started panicking, you can see it by the look on their faces. The pilot announces to have an emergency landing. So they all buckle their seatbelts and tried to calm themselves.

They reached Malacca in a very tragic way possible. Thankful that they were all safe.

Gael's reminisced back when he is unwillingly wanted to go to Malacca.

'Maybe the accident happens because I was unwilling to go?' he mumbled to himself. While he is lying on his bed trying to get some sleep. The doctors told him earlier that he will be discharge tomorrow morning. He then thought if that would be a great news for him. Because busy days are coming for him eventually.

'I should go to sleep, tomorrow will be a busy day for me,' he mumbled while thinking about his concert that will be happen the next day.

At Davis Residence...

Rae opened her eyes with a smile on her lips.

"Thank God for another bright and sunny morning", she said while slowly getting up from her bed.

"Ahhhh! ", she raised her hands and stretch her body and then went to the rest room to gargle and wash her face. She reaches the towel and gently wipe her face. She change her pajamas into a plain white shirt and her knee level short and then she went outside.

"Father! Mother!", she cheerfully shouted. She looked around trying to searched where her parents might be.

"There you are!", he exclaimed when she finally saw her mother standing in the distance.

"Good Morning!" she continued shouting. A very wide smile on her lips.

She were very ecstatic. Because she's very excited to beautify their boat together with his father in preparation for the competition of the feast of St. Peter. They have been selected as one of the participant in the boat competition.

The opening parade will happen in the afternoon to finally welcome the fisher's folk Patron Saint of Malacca.

She saw her mother near the beach waiting for her father who went to the middle of the sea to sail and catch a fish. It was his daily routine every morning before he's going to the restaurant where he's working as the main cook.

She's looking everywhere but she couldn't see the boat that they are going to refurbished and represent in the competition.

"He used the boat?", Rae asked while looking at the sea. She were asking the other boat that supposedly they are going to beautify.

"Oh Yes, he forgot to tell you last night. But don't worry he will be here in a minute, " replied by her mother while looking at the sea.

"Oh there he is!", she continue while pointing at his father's boat who is approaching the shore.

"Heyyy! I catch a lot of fish!", Mr. Davis shouted. Waving the big fish he got caught. A big smile on his lips while he's getting near to where his wife and daughter's are.

Rae and her mother are both waving their hands while walking to the boat of her father. They help him lift the boat to the shore.

"WOAH! It is really a big catch father!", Rae amazingly said. While she reaches the fish and hold it with her bare hands. She was fascinated with the kind of fish her father caught.

"What kind of fish is this father?", she asked. With a questioning look in her face she looked at her father.

"It's Brassy Trevally, a very rare fish to catch. I got lucky today and caught one!", her father replied as he got off from the boat. Still a wide smile on his lips. They were all happy for they are going to cooked a huge fish for breakfast.

"Before I forgot, we need to quickly cleaned the boat and beautify it before the competition starts", Rae said while looking at her father.

"I am going back to the house and prepare our breakfast", Mrs. Davis said to them. She left the two and went straight to their house.

"Oh yes! We need to moved quickly then", her father replied.

They quickly cleaned the boat and dried it for a while. They ate breakfast with the fish that he just caught earlier [Brassy Trevally Soup] .

After eating their breakfast, Rae and her father went out to check their boat if it is dried up already.

"Go and get the materials", her father commanded while he is trying to visualize in his mind the design they are going to make for their boat.

Rae quickly went to their house and got all the materials they needed. [paint, paint brush, scissors, colorful cloth, etc.]

They started beautifying the boat. Mr. Davis were painting the boat while Rae is cutting the cloth to prepare for her to paint on it. She cut around five pieces of cloth and paint it with different designs representing the importance of a fisherman in relation to the Patron Saint.
