Enjoyable Vacation Together

Jayden smiled innocently. "The arranged marriage wouldn't have been canceled if it weren't for our collaboration. I am very grateful for your effort yesterday. Shouldn't I give some kind of reward to you who worked hard?" Agatha sighed. She couldn't believe this man. "That's too much. I don't even feel like I've done something heavy. I just did what I should do." Agatha saw Jayden's suddenly dejected look at her. She chuckled softly. Since when did Jayden become so expressive like that? "Don't stare at me like that." "So what should I do to make you agree? Come on, our effort yesterday wouldn't have succeeded without your extraordinary acting. I can't imagine if you had refused to help me that night. You also know Layla only likes women like you." "So how could I marry the woman Layla hates?" Jayden continued with a pleading face. "That's why I'm so thankful to you. And I can't not give you a reward that matches the result you've achieved." Agatha held her breath for a few seconds. This was the first time she had seen Jayden's face looking at her like a lost kitten. Hurriedly, she shifted her gaze back to the laptop. Jayden always managed to make her heart unsteady. "Yes? Yes? How about it? Do you agree, right, that we'll go on vacation together? I'll take you to the place you've wanted to visit. Layla will be happy with my idea, she hasn't been to a tourist place for a long time," Jayden persuasively did not give up. Honestly, Agatha felt burdened. How could she not? Jayden had given her so much, but now he was offering something that she had never even thought of. An employer inviting his subordinate for a vacation for free. Although as a reward for her hard work, Agatha felt it was insignificant and not comparable to Jayden's offer. Moreover, he offered to go to a place she wanted to visit. Wasn't that too much for her who hadn't even completed a year of working with him? "If that's the case, I have no other choice," Agatha thought resignedly. "It seems I also need a break to calm my mind from the thesis." Agatha took a deep breath, then cleared her throat. Jayden next to her continued to look at her. Suddenly, she thought, could it be that Jayden didn't realize that what he was doing made her feel insecure? "I'm waiting for you, Agatha." "Um, alright. I can't refuse an order from my boss, can I?" Jayden's eyes immediately lit up. "Really, Agatha? Are you finally agreeing?" "Yes, I think your idea isn't bad after all." Jayden smiled happily. He almost wanted to hug Agatha out of joy. "So where do you want to go? I'll take you wherever you want." Once again Agatha's heart raced. That question seemed more appropriate if addressed from a man to his girlfriend, right? Ah, but it seemed Jayden was different from most men. Agatha's cheeks suddenly blushed. In this way, she ended up liking Jayden Byhantara even more. *** A few days after the surprising night, Jayden planned a vacation as an appreciation for Agatha, who played a significant role in the success of his plan. Sunday morning arrived, and the fresh beach air welcomed them. Jayden, Agatha, and Layla prepared for the promised trip to the beach. With a cheerful smile, Jayden said to Agatha, "Thank you, Agatha. This vacation will surely be a beautiful memory for all of us." Agatha smiled. "You're welcome, Jayden. I'm glad to be part of this moment." Their journey to the beach was filled with laughter and light conversations. Upon reaching the beach, a cheerful atmosphere enveloped them. Jayden, attentively, helped Agatha and Layla set up seats on the sand. "Do you want to swim, Layla?" Jayden asked his daughter. Layla nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, Daddy! Let's go!" While Layla and Jayden played in the water, Agatha sat on the beach shore. A few moments later, Jayden let Layla play on her own and watched her from the shore, then glanced at the sea, and then looked at Agatha with sincere eyes. He then walked closer and sat beside her. "Thank you, Agatha. Without your help, everything might not have been as successful as this." Agatha smiled gently. "It has been a beautiful moment. I'm glad to have been able to help." They exchanged looks, expressing gratitude not only in words but also felt in the warmth of their eyes. As Jayden gazed at the calm sea, he decided to express his gratitude to Agatha even deeper. "Agatha, I am very thankful for everything. I want you to know that I will always be there for you, not only in happiness but also in difficulties. Whatever happens, we will go through it together." Agatha smiled and nodded. She also couldn't live peacefully without Jayden by her side. "Thank you, Jayden. I am also willing to be by your side, facing whatever may come." Their hearts were full of peace under the warm beach sun. Their promise to help each other was like gentle waves flowing between them, forming a stronger bond on their journey together. As they walked along the beach, Agatha accidentally slipped on the soft sand. Her careless step almost made her fall backward. But before Agatha reached the sand, Jayden swiftly caught her. For a few seconds, they looked at each other. Until finally, Agatha regained her senses and cleared her throat. Agatha chuckled softly, feeling awkward. "Thank you, Jayden. I almost fell here." Jayden chuckled, then slowed his steps. "Be careful, Agatha. I'm always here to catch you if you slip, not only at the beach but also in life." Agatha's eyes sparkled, feeling the warmth of Jayden's attention. Her heart beat fast. "I'm so lucky to have someone like you by my side." They continued their journey along the beach, while the bright sky shone above them. These small moments became part of the beautiful memories etched in their journey together. Agatha and Jayden continued their walk along the beach, side by side. Layla, with her endless enthusiasm, ran ahead, waving occasionally with a bright smile. The sound of a happy child's laughter created a beautiful backdrop for this moment. Realizing Layla's joy, Jayden smiled at Agatha. "Look at how happy Layla is. She's really enjoying this vacation." Agatha agreed. "Yes, absolutely. It's a beautiful moment for all of us." As they walked, the sound of the waves accompanied their steps. Jayden glanced warmly at Agatha. "Thank you, Agatha, for making this vacation so meaningful." Agatha smiled softly. "I am also thankful to you, Jayden. This is an extraordinary vacation." Layla, who had been running ahead, suddenly stopped and called out to them. "Daddy! Aunt Agatha! Hurry! I found a beautiful shell here!" Jayden and Agatha laughed, then continued their journey, savoring every happy moment under the beautiful blue sky of the beach. Layla, with joy, showed the beautiful shell she found at the shore. Jayden and Agatha approached her, drawn to her excitement.
