102 She Couldn't Ask For More

They were transported by the luxury bus to their destinations like other regular tourists.

"Newlywed right? Well the ring shows…" The girl sitting on the opposite side of the seats in the bus asked and Arya nodded with a smile.

Then the girl continued, "Hi, I'm Denise and this is my fiancé Greg."

"I'm Arya and this is my husband Ryu," she replied with a smile.

Denise was a bubbly person and Arya felt at ease around her so they decided to tour together...

First site was the City of Pompeii and its remarkable ruins. The couples had taken so many selfies during their tour around. They saw brick style ovens and big stone blocks.

"Have you watched the movie Pompeii?" Denise asked while they walked through the site looking at the statues that were still standing.

Arya shook her head and looked at Ryu who also shook his head.

"Wow, you should see that movie. I like that one very much. It shows how love is portrayed as 'till death do us part'. Although it ended tragically, it's really a must see for lovers I believe. Do watch it… specially the last shot of the movie in which the couple is locked in an eternal embrace as the surge engulfs them…" Denise endorsed the movie with enthusiasm.

The she suddenly realized and said, "Aww c.r.a.p I give the spoilers… geez… Sorry but please watch it still."

Denise laughed apologetically while Arya also laughed with her.

"Alright we'll watch that one." Then she replied as she winked.

Arya can't help but notice Denise's boyfriend Greg as she raised an eyebrow. She knew it was bad to compare but she felt so lucky to have Ryu who was so attentive at her all the time while Greg spent most of his time on his phone than being thoughtful to Denise.

He rarely talked to anyone around including Denise also, not that she cared but she was sensing something odd with the man's personality. She felt pity for Denise because she liked the girl who was very friendly and energetic.

Next destination was The Romantic Isle of Capri where a ferry took them across the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Isle of Capri.

"Wow this is impressive love." Arya murmured as she saw the island. The marina was filled with boats, outdoor cafes and crystal blue sea. Mountain and cliffs were all around them.

Their tour guide took them up a gondola towards the top of the island. It's a walking tour pa.s.sing the perfume factory, fancy designer boutiques and historic hotels.

"What's wrong? Are you tired?" Ryu suddenly asked when he noticed Arya paused at walking.

Arya pouted her lips as she nodded acting cute on Ryu with her beautiful blinking eyes.

Ryu laughed and bend down on his knees with his back on her and said, "Come here, I'll piggy back my love because I don't want you getting tired…"

Arya smiled sweetly as she excitedly jumped at Ryu's back…

"I'm not heavy right?" she asked happily as she buried her face on Ryu's neck.

"Hmmm… You're quite heavy love and I think you'll need to do some dieting already…" Ryu said teasingly.

"Hah, diet diet… Food is my life… So get used to me getting heavy as time goes by." Arya said as she bit Ryu's ear.

"Ouch… Okay okay… Even if you become obese, I will still try to carry you." Ryu said laughing hard.

Arya laughed also as she tightened her embrace to Ryu's back and whispered, "I love you…"

"And I love you more…" Ryu answered lovingly…

Meanwhile, Denise who was walking a little behind saw them and just let out a deep sigh when she witnessed how loving the couple was in front of her. Then she turned her head and looked at her fiancé Greg who was still busy with his phone.

How she wished she was lucky like Arya… That time she started to doubt if she had made the right decision for her life. 'Was it all worth it?' she asked herself silently and continued to walk and follow behind Ryu and Arya.

They reached at the top of a park which showed the most notable landmark of the Isle of Capri. These are the limestone crags referred to as sea stacks.

Arya stared out at the vast sea, breathed in the fresh air coming from the sea that refreshed her.

Ryu stood behind her and slid his arms around her tiny waist and hugged her tightly. Arya felt blessed for all the things she had in her life today, she rested herself on Ryu and was thankful that she was in the beautiful island with the person she loved who was hugging her from behind.

This was the feeling of contentment and bliss, she had everything that she could dream of and felt that today 'she couldn't ask for more...'

After spending a while there they set off for their last destination.

Last destination was at Sorrento, Italy which was a colorful and energetic town. It overlooked the Bay of Naples with gorgeous water views as well as views of Mount Vesuvius and the Isle of Capri.

The streets were filled with many shops ranging from luxury clothing stores, gelato stands to leather goods and tourist items.

When Arya was left alone with Denise to look for goods to buy, out of curiosity she asked, "How long have you been engaged with Greg?"

Denise paused and looked up as if recalling something and said, "We were engaged just last month so I guess it's less than a month. I'm not good at math dear…"

"Hmmm actually, it's an arranged marriage decided by our parents. I decided to go on a trip with Greg right now so we can at least know each other well before the wedding." Denise added.

Arya sighed. Denise looked naive and seemed to be a very delicate girl. Her eyes were full of sympathy as she stared at her.

"What's with your look? Well I'm old enough and it's not like that I can disobey my parents. It's a big business deal within families so…" Denise paused for a while as if thinking hard what else she could say to justify everything.

Arya smiled and put her hands on her shoulders.

"Hmm, we all have complications in life. If you will know my story… hmm… I'm sure you'll be amazed on how everything went well for me so far… so I believe everything happens for good and will end well for us," Arya said encouragingly.

"I don't want to disappoint my parents. Also, Greg is a good catch and…" Denise was out of herself while she said the words like she was not even sure on what she was saying.

Arya interrupted and she spoke with a smile, "Hey you don't need to explain to me. That's your life. I just got curious on how long is your relations.h.i.+p already. Common let's check some souvenirs there and drop this topic…"

Denise also smiled at her and they walked hand in hand like sisters.

Greg and Denise tried the horse driven carriages at the main square while Ryu and Arya tried the Italy's signature drinks-limoncello. It was made from lemon rinds, sugar and alcohol.

The weather was perfect, the water views amazing, the food delicious and the street scenes vibrant.

Arya has been drinking too much limoncello already and she was obviously drunk so Ryu decided to call for a pick-up as they were going back to board the docked cruise s.h.i.+p they're booked.

"La – la la la…" Arya kept on humming and playing with Ryu naughtily inside the car.

"Love, play with me once we're inside our suite okay?" Ryu said laughing.

Arya salute at him and said laughing, "Aye Sir…"
