Chapter 32: The Staycation


    Frieze''s home was all set. Alex helped her with the kitchen and bathroom while Peter was busy


    supervising theborers to keep the furniture in the hall and her bedroom. Peter also set the curtains


    up while Alex continued with the kitchen. It was alreadyte afternoon and all three were very hungry.


    Frieze quickly ordered burgers and noodles for home delivery. Now they had utensils at home, they can


    make their first use of it and even celebrate a new house warming ceremony. Frieze was so d to


    have them as friends and she realised that without them, things would had been more difficult.


    She hugged both of them and they hugged her back. They were so happy to help her in this difficult


    times. While they waited for food, she called Rose telling her about her homing, how things went


    last night and about her brand new house almost ready. She seemed so tired yet so excited and Rose


    could only support her. She was not happy with the fact that she will not be able to see her at home


    everyday especially during the meals but she was helpless. She wants to have a new beginning and it


    is better than staying in the house that will break her heart everyday.


    She returned home in the evening. Peter and Alex stayed back in the house to supervise the


    electricians and plumbers. They even decorated the house for Frieze when shees back to check


    on her new home, she would be happy to see the surprise awaiting her. They felt this would give her


    more encouragement in seeing the brighter side of life.


    Back at home, Rose, David, Idri, Dori and Frieze gathered in the main hall after dinner as Frieze had a


    surprise n to put forward. As all waited for her to speak, she cleared her throat and confidently


    spoke


    "I have nned for a staycation in Musderine Resort in the outskirts. Would you all like to go this


    weekend? I have already made the bookings."


    Idri had a bright smile on his face and stood up to sit near Frieze. Dori could not help but get angry but


    suppressed her anger.


    "That sounds like a good idea. We have a weekend n already. I will take a half day tomorrow so that


    I cane home early and do the packing."


    Frieze frowned and spoke to Dori "Idri has zero packing skills. Please pack his clothes too along with


    yours."


    Idri opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by David.


    "I agree with Frieze. Dori you are in charge of his luggage. We don''t want you to run to stores buying


    the necessary requirements for him that would be potentially missed by him while he packs."


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Dori giggled.


    Idri pouted his mouth and felt offended. But, he was happy. He was thinking that he would finally get a


    chance to talk to Frieze and the several reasons why she is ignoring him. He is also nning to tell her


    that he still wants her to stay as a friend. He was upset that she is the wife but she won''t pack his bag


    like she always did whenever he was out on a trip. At least he would get a chance to talk to her while


    everyone will have a fun time was still convincing for him.


    Frieze continued with further details and all listened to her with patience, "We need to start from home


    at 9 am and we would check in by 11am. So, better have an early breakfast on Saturday morning. I


    have even requested them to send a cab for pickup and guess what, it is free of cost. Some kind of a


    weekend offer you know. There is a beach view from all the rooms and it''s going to be a fun ce for


    sure. Please get ready with your luggage by tomorrow night."


    Rose faked her smile and excitement all this while and David seemed to help her cope up with the


    emotions. They know why the staycation has been nned and that would be the day Frieze finally


    exits the house she lived in. She will move to her new house and they would never see her at the


    dining table after that day. Rose still kept herself calm and spoke nothing. They agreed to go away for


    the vacation as they did not want Frieze to have an emotional upheaval while she leaves home. Dori


    and Idri are clueless about it. They would never know anything about her after that day. Frieze''s


    journey would end as a married woman and a member of this family that she lived with for seven


    months now. Everyone wished each other good night and moved to their respective rooms. Idri looked


    at Frieze entering the guest room feeling eerie about it. Ever since she left his room, he has been going


    restless thinking about it.
