Chapter 6 - Portuguese Square

The water pours down, it drips by his side, as his mind fades into dullness and everything is a foggy illusion. The sensation of the steamy water calms him, it takes his mind of many things. All the things he honestly don't care about. It's the water.

The water dripped down his hair softly. And the drops slowly made their way to his body, and the perfect abs he had. The water defined his well, organized and obviously worked out body.

Gael pressed his arms into the wall, bent down his head while he let the water runs to his body. And out of nowhere a blurry image just popped up into his mind. He raised his head and looked at the wall in front of him and wondered who was that blurry image who'd suddenly aroused into his mind.

He suddenly thought of the girl whom he did encountered on crashed plane they had boarded before. He tried to think carefully of what she looks like because in her mind she only had a blurry image of her. He shut off the shower. Take his towel, wiped his wet body and put around the towel in his waist as a cover to his masculine body. His wet hair was dripping as he walked towards the mirror.

A very nice shaped of his body, got his nice packs of abs, a very nice long nose and his deep looking blue eyes was staring at himself in the mirror.

He walked out to the shower room and change into his casual outfit, a dark blue blazer, he is wearing a plain white shirt inside that blazer, and light denim pants plus a black pair of shoes. He's putting his gold necklace around his neck when someone knock on his door.

"Knock! Knock!" someone's knocking on the door of his room.

"Who's there?", Gael asked loudly and turned his head into the door.

"It's me", Mr. Co replied out of the door. He was the one knocking from the outside of the room.

Gael turned around backed his head in the mirror while he is putting his necklace in his neck. He was also trying to fix his clothes in front of the mirror and take a good look of himself if he is already looking good enough.

"You already looked good", Mr. Co said smilingly while looking at him.

"That would rather be a compliment. But I know myself ", Gael said while he is reaching his phone and checked the time. It's 20 minutes before they are heading to Portuguese Square.

"Let's go.", Gael continues and he walk his way out to the door of the room.

Mr. Co followed him and walked beside him. They are being followed by the three bodyguards behind them. The chief minister already instructed to follow them around for their safety. They rode in their van and went straight to Portuguese Square followed by another black sedan aboard by their bodyguards.

Meanwhile at Portuguese Square..

Rae and her father docked their boat at the sea front of Portuguese Square. They got off from the boat they were in and went straight to the place where they will be having their assembly together with the other participants of the festival. As they were walking, they saw the crowded blend of people in the area. More of the Portuguese Eurasians are in the crowd and looking at the place makes Rae reminisced to its history and culture of the beautiful place.

Malacca City celebrated again the 𝐹𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑎 𝑆𝑎𝑛 𝑃𝑒𝑑𝑟𝑜. For four days ending on June 29, feast of St. peter, people enjoyed food, songs, dances and religious processions. Portuguese Eurasians venerate Saint Peter since Portuguese ships first arrived in the 16th century. Saint Peter is the patron saint of fisher folks.

And the hub of the festival is Portuguese Square, on the sea front, which is all decked out for four days.

The square is renowned for the culture blends in the last 400 years.

Rae's face was all over fascinated upon reminiscing its history , the beauty of the place combined with the colorful decorations around the area makes the festival more exciting. The dancers who wore their beautiful costumes are at the other side of the road while dancing. She can see stalls that sells different variety of unique foods such as steamed fish in banana leaf at the corner of the road. She continuously wander her eyes around the square with a very wide smile in her lips. She feels like a kid again while she is walking and turning around with her both arms widened in the air.

"Careful Rae you might get dizzy from what you are doing", her father said while trying to stop her from turning around while she's walking.

"I am just so happy celebrating again the festival in the city father", Rae replied to her father while she continues walking backwards facing her father.

"It's been a long time father. Once in every year is not enough", she continues and smiled while looking at her father.

"I am captivated by the beauty of the place since then father. Woahhh!", she loudly said to her father and then turn around again while she opened both her hands widely and even closed her eyes.

"Stop that! You might fall!", reprimanded by her father while he reached Rae's hands to stop her from turning around.

"HA! HA! HA!", Rae laughing as she ran away from her father.

"Rae! Wait for me!", loudly shouted by her father from afar. You can see the look in his face that he is disgusted but wanted to laugh. Her father also run towards her.

"You're acting like a kid Rae! Whoah! " her father said while he is gasping his breath. Bent down his body and holding his knees.

"Why father? Can't you run anymore? I thought you were a runner in your younger years?", Rae smilingly responded wanted to teased her father.

Her father stand still and looked at her seriously in the eyes.

"Of course! I can still run but----not that fast anymore", explained by her father with his hand gesture raising his right arm doing the muscle thing.

"That's it father. Shall we test it again father?", Rae said while smiling at his father.

"What were you------", his father asked but before he could finish what he was about to say Rae quickly ran away from her father.

"Come on father! Ha! Ha! Ha!",

"Chased me----", Rae shouted while running away turning her head and looking at her father.

When she turned back around. She suddenly bumped into something. But before she'd fall from the ground. Someone strongly reached and hold her body tight.
