Chapter 9 - Hi Bye Filtiarn

--RING RING, RING RING--

With a groggy and annoyed voice, Karol pick up the hotel phone which ringing nonstop, "Hello".

A cherry and bright voice could be heard by the end of the line, "Wake up sleepy head and let's eat breakfast".

"No thanks, goodnight"

Karol replied as she hands up the call by pulling the cable apart and fall back to sleep peacefully or so as she thought, 30 minutes later their room bell ringing multiple times making Karol covers her ear, annoyed at the intruder that disturbs her sleeping time.

"Urghh.. let me sleep!" scream Karol in a muffled voice as she was annoyed with all of the disturbance.

"I got it, I got it. You continue sleeping" said Sharon as she opens the door revealing their parents.

"Karol why are you still asleep, let's go and eat breakfast before we hit out later," said William as he sits at the bed near Karol's leg in which makes her be in an overcooked shrimp position while ignoring all of them.

Knowing that her sister needed sleep, Sharon quickly said; "Mummy daddy leave her alone she sleeps at 5 this morning because of her school assignment" as she enters the toilet.

"I thought that she already finishes her assignment before our trip? Like yesterday she finished them all and submitted it right?".

"She did but the system was down the moment she uploads so her answer was deleted and everything else was too. So she has to re-upload everything a couple of times until just now then it was a success so now she's dead tired it's been 2 days she sleeps less than 4 hours. So let's just go and leave her here, she can order room service later when she woke up".

"Luckily you bring your laptop or else you have to fly back home and then back here again," said Anna as she tidies up Karol's messy work table.

"Pity our daughter mummy, let's just let her rest today and we three will go out and about plus I've check Filtiarn attraction and tourism spot and there isn't that much, like our daughter Sharon said this place literally for healing where they find please be quiet environment is the fun day out," said William as he scrolls through his phone.

"Told ya daddy, I think we might be going to Theodulf earlier than we expected," said Sharon as she applies her lipstick.

"Then we can go shopping!!" add Sharon as she looks at her mother who's nodding at her totally agreed and loved the idea.

"God! keep your voice down. I'm trying to get some sleep here"

Their sudden happiness filled with a high toned voice filled the room thus wakes Karol up unexpectedly.

"Okay, let's go. I'm done with my make-up".

"Thank Heavens! Go and have fun. Bye!"

Said Karol as she plops her head out from the blankets, waves a small wave while still cocooning herself yet not before she said;

"Close the curtains!"

"Okay, okay. Geez, what a monster"

Sharon looked at her, tsk at her but still obey her as she closes the curtains and walk out of the room.

"Urghh finally some peace" mumble Karol as she drifted to sleep.

Meanwhile, the trio heads towards the breakfast section floor with a light heart and stomach as they briefly plan their itinerary.

"Breakfast first then we will go and look around at the local attraction, shops and souvenirs too," said Sharon quickly as they entered the breakfast hall.

A few hours later after their 'fun' out and about the trio literally felt bored to their bone as there's nothing much to do at Filtiarn.

True to its name Filtiarn is a very layback place where rich people whose tired of living in the concrete jungle will buy lands and build their own dream or desire to design homes for themselves.

A very quiet country environment with lots and lots of open fields that goes miles after miles and lots and lots of trees one after another.

Filtiarn is a retreat and healing place with nature as their main focus and their famous natural environment.

No doubt the food is their local attraction and it is delicious and rare plus hard to learn type of food recipe.

The trios went back to the hotel around dinner time as there isn't much to see nor be doing outside.

"I'm back!" said Sharon but was greeted with silence and dim lightroom.

'The hell' said Sharon to herself as she enters the room while on the lights and saw Karol who's still wrapping inside the comforter like a cocoon.

"The hell don't tell me, Karol... Karol... wake up. It's 7 pm, stop sleeping. Wake up, sleepyhead!"

Said Sharon at first she gently shakes her sister but gradually turn to a violent shake before she unrolls her and smack her head making her groan.

In a disoriented voice, Karol wakes up; "I'm awake. Give me a sec".

"Did you eat your brunch?"

"No"

"Then your late lunch?"

"No"

"Did you even wake up at all to eat?"

"No"

"So you've been asleep this whole time?!"

"Yes"

Replied Karol as she untangled herself and tie her hair into a ponytail while looking directly at her toes with a blank face as she yawn while looking around for her phone.

"What time is it now?"

Karol's question bewildered her sister as she rarely saw this side of her.

"It's freaking 7.10 pm now. You sleep for 12 hours you stupid and without food. What are you doing? Hibernating or something?!"

"Hehehe, sorry didn't notice that I was out that long. Probably my body needed its beauty sleep so that's why I went into hibernating mode or something"

Replied Karol in a joking tone, trying to make it as if it's not a big deal in which earns her an angry glare from her sister.

"Don't play with me right now. Get up and go shower" command Sharon as she hands a towel to Karol while she's lazily walking towards the bathroom.

"Be quick, I need to shower too and we'll go out and eat our late dinner".

"You know what, I'll join you in the shower".

Both sisters take a quick shower before head out for dinner and like a true tourist they opt for authentic local Filtiarn food that was recommended by the locals.

While in the middle of dinner William spills; "Oh yea tomorrow at 2 pm we'll check out and head to Theodulf city".

"Why I thought that we will like be here for 3 days?" asked Karol who's still chewing her food.

"We already roam and drive around this place and there isn't much to see. I mean this place really for healing".

"Yes, the healing and for old people who rich enough to come here and live the rest of their life in solitude".

"Ohhh okay then let's head out tomorrow".
