Harriet’s POV As the dawn broke, we visit the Milles Sens Les Gouts De Monde Restaurant, which is one of the best restaurant to visit in Bern. It is a lively modern restaurant with minimalist-style establishment. When I was searching for this in the internet, I heard great reviews about the place’s mouthwatering menus such as Aargau chicken tagine, Gurten highland beef duo, and exotic Thai green vegetable curry.Once Cassius and I stepped inside the restaurant, we automatically heard the music playing at a moderate level and the low voice laughter of the customers. Right off the back the restaurant’s ambiance had a positive vibe. I also loved the interior decoration and seating arrangements. And I guess I am not the only one, because I saw Cassius looking around intently from the mini wine cellar to the polished wood of the ground. I could see that he’s enjoying the vibe and might get inspired at the design which he can take as example in the future.“I heard you can ask for candlel
Following Cassius and Harriet, Zion and Reese went to Switzerland together. Reese promised him that she would find where Harriet and Cassius will go on a vacation and tell it to Zion. And so, as soon as Reese heard that the two’s destination is in Switzerland, she told it to Zion right away. The next day, they flew to Switzerland.“Wow, this place is really good!” Reese exclaimed while looking around the night city life in Swiss.Zion, who came here not to have fun, looked at her. “Shall we go and look for them?” He was about to step when Reese held his arm.“Wait a minute,” Reese stopped him.Looking at the hand on his arm, Zion endured the feeling of letting someone holds him.“We spent hours travelling. Can’t we at least eat first?”“You didn’t eat on the airplane?” he asked.“I have motion sickness. So, I couldn’t eat before.”“Haaa.”Reese heard him sighed, and then sighed again, and each time wondered if he’s annoyed or what.“Alright. Let’s eat.”And so, Reese and Zion went to
When Harriet heard that Cassius is feeling sick, she did not hesitate to go and run on the way to his room. She did not bother looking at the mirror, or changing her indoor slippers into a pair of shoes. Harriet did not. The first thing that came to her mind is what would she do if she sees him trembling and convulsing again because of his sickness. And she was going to hug him, to tell him that everything will be okay because she will be on his side. “Here, ma’am,” the staff guided Harriet until they arrived in front of the room. Using the main key of the hotel, the staff opened the door. Both hurried to go inside and when they did, they saw Cassius sitting perfectly on the couch, with his arms crossed. Harriet and staff looked surprised. “He isn’t like that when he…” the staff said unfinished words. He was bewildered. He was sure that Cassius was trembling and that he looks very pale a moment ago. Slowly, Cassius looked at Harriet. Did Cassius fake his sickness? The question
Reese is riding the private plane prepared by Zion which they used to go in Switzerland. Alone, she will going back, leaving Zion behind.Sitting alone on the seat, she put strength on her hands as she remembered her encounter with Zion last night.“Harriet and Cassius kissed,” Reese murmured while standing behind Zion. She does not need to tell it. Zion saw it too so there’s no need for her to report out loud. Yet, because Reese wanted him to break down and to give up, she intended to hurt Zion with obvious words. Zion turned his back around, away from his childhood first love, and his cousin. He felt betrayed. All those years, there was only him in Harriet’s life. She protected her, thought only about her, cared for her and lived for her. At the same time, Harriet loved Zion unconditionally. He did realize his feelings for Harriet a little bit late. But he expected that Harriet will come back to his side. That soon, there will be them. But what happened? His cousin, whom he first
The falling of the spoon caused Harriet to take a small breath and stiffen. If Cassius bend down and pick the spoon up, then he will see her hand together with Zion under the table. Harriet looked at Zion who purposely did it. She felt mad. Why would she put her in this position?! With all her might, Harriet tried to pull her hand from him, but any resistance is futile. Zion was holding her so tight. If she resist, she will only feel pain around her wrist. On the other side, Cassius who saw that odd actions of Zion, narrowed his eyes thinly. He figured out that Zion was asking him to pick up the spoon. And so he decided to go on with this. The staff from the back saw the spoon. He was about to run towards their side and help Cassius pick it up but Cassius raised his hand. He gestured, waving his hand briefly and personally bent down. His action of picking up the tableware was slow, however, when he straightened his back again, clutching the silverware, his face was horribly dist
“I like you, Harriet.” Her heart pounded so hard the moment she heard something that she already knows. She had a clue, but hearing it directly from him felt different. And she was amazed. How can Cassius not blink his eyes while saying that? It was amazing. She pursed her mouth and clenched her hand, feeling her heart pounding again. “I love you.” Harriet hardened as it is. Because she didn’t expect him to say this words in this place. However, Cassius felt the same. He didn’t imagine himself being in this situation where he will confess the feelings he’s been trying so hard to hide from everyone. In the beginning, he was so convinced that his first love will be leave unknown until the day he head to leave her side. But here he is, confessing it. And what did he feel after saying the truth? He felt refreshed, as if the barb on his throat has finally removed. On the contrary, Zion felt dumb. Who will confess after kissing the woman? And then, he remembered that he almost did t
Harriet picked toasted bread, bacon, scrambled egg, butter and coffee for breakfast. Everyone in the dining hall of the hotel was eating peacefully. But she’s alone on her table. Harriet is not the only single person, but she feels extremely like a loner.Zion and Cassius went somewhere together, leaving her behind.‘Where did they go? What are they talking about?’ For a moment, Harriet felt stupid. She’s aware that right now, the two men’s topic is highly about her. And yet, she’s wondering what they are conversing. When she realized how idiot she is to wonder even if she already knows the answer, Harriet sighed.‘Two men like me. At the top of all, they are cousins.’ Harriet didn’t intend for something like this to happen. She did love Zion, but she had no plan to be in a real relationship with Zion’s cousin. Did she?Then what about that look on her face? The way she blushed in front of Cassius, when her heartbeat so loud in front of him, and when she let him kiss her, what are t
Harriet’s POV Switzerland has an extensive well-coordinated network of trains which made to make mountaintops easily accessible because of the railways. That’s why, for the second and last day of my vacation in this magical place, I went to visit the Albula Bernina Railway Line. I was excited to experiencing riding here because I heard that it is one of the few railway lines which was designated by the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage listing. And I don’t want to missed it. The railway brings together two historic railway lines that cross the Swiss Alps through two passes. And I was excited to see he highest mountain in the Eastern Alps. When I walked inside, the train has huge space. Seats designed face to face, with big windows on wall to see the panoramic views from the outside. Reality did not betray me. Riding inside is like travelling in high mountains and several tunnels and viaducts along the way, but with speed. It was elating to see the unspoiled mountain landscapes. The
