Chapter 588 – CAPPADOCIA V
The distance wasn't far but because they stopped several times to take pictures and videos, it took them almost an hour to arrive at the place where Stefan brought them.
It was a vast field with hills, stone structures and several establishments. And not just that, there were so many people in this place and so many hot air balloons, too. They were so colorful that Cayenne's eyes lit up as soon as she laid her eyes on them. Not just her, everyone was equally surprised and mesmerized just like her.
There were some balloons flying on air already while the others were still on the ground waiting for their passengers.
"Oh my god! This is really happening! I'm not just dreaming it anymore." She said and tightened her hold on Stefan's hands. "Thank you so much."
"You're welcome. If your best friend didn't mention it on her later, you wouldn't tell me about this will you?"
"Well, I've been busy in the past and I have forgotten some of the things that I wanted to do. In fact, I have also forgotten that I once dreamed of being here."
"Then, make most of your time and share the experience to your fans."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Stefan leaned closer to her ear and whispered. "You are pretending to have lost your memories, right? Your fans have been wishing you well and wanted you to recover soon. They've been leaving comments on your vlogs and they wanted to see how you are now. Isn't it better to show them your current situation?"
"But I didn't take videos of the whole thing."
"You didn't but I did." Stefan winked at her and grinned. "I'm so reliable, ain't I? You'll have to reward me later."
"Hmp! You are just after the reward."
As they talked to each other, a man approached them and showed Stefan his identity card. "Are you Mr. Dumrique?" The man asked.
"Yes, I am."
"Nice to finally meet you sir. I am Alberto and I will be facilitating your ride today."
"I'll leave ourselves to your care. Thank you."
"Come this way." Alberto led them to the hot air balloon that his team had been preparing. It has an ocean blue color with their company name and logo printed on it.
Cayenne was trembling with excitement and since she "lost" her memories and has "forgotten" her vlogging experience, she didn't say much in her videos and just allowed her husband to take much as he can. Kyle, Erwin and Tristan can edit the details in the next few days.
"We're finally getting into one of these beautiful things." Marian commented. "I am so excited."
"Me, too." Veronica replied. "I'll never forget this experience and will tell my grandchildren in the future of what I have seen here."
"You are thinking way ahead."
"It's not really an issue."
One after another, everyone went inside the box carrier and Alberto started putting on fires to lift the balloon from the ground, little by little, they went up on air until they realized they were already kilometers above the ground.
"Oh my gosh! We're flying. We are really flying on this hot air balloon!" Veronica stated enthusiastically while taking pictures and videos of herself and the landscape.
"This is so much better than I could have ever imagine having all these other balloons flying with us. It's beautiful." John commented as he watched the other balloons flying around them.
"I know. And these landscapes and the balloons…gosh…they're the most incredible things I have ever seen." Marian answered without thinking much of who she was talking to. She was too mesmerized to pay attention to the people beside her.
"It feels like we're on a different planet with this beautiful scenery."
"And look at that. You can see the beautiful buildings and beautiful stone structures."
"We're so close to the sky."
Hearing their conversation, Cayenne spun around to see them and Veronica did the same thing. They looked at the two people talking like normal friends even though they have been giving each other a cold shoulder.
Stefan pulled his wife closer to him and whispered. "Just let them be."
"Hn." Cayenne smiled and looked at the surroundings once again.
The rock formations were incredible and you can see how much the people preserve as much natural resources as they could. Most of the building were carved out from the rocks and there were many hotels carved directly in the mountain or in a huge stone. Their architectural designs were just amazing as one could see.
"I'm so glad that we're able to come to this beautiful place together." Cayenne told Marian.
"Thanks to your husband. One of our dreams has come true."
"Right. I never thought he'd prepare this much in a short time."
"If it's for you, he will do anything."
"That's what everyone says."
"Lucky you."
They talked, took pictures together and appreciated the beautiful place just like everyone else. And just like all the other good times, this happy moment must come to an end.
After an hour and ten minutes, they landed back on the ground with memories kept in their heart.
"Thank you so much for that wonderful ride Alberto." Stefan told the man.
"You're welcome. I'm glad that your wife enjoyed the ride."
"She loves it so much." Stefan smiled as he watched Cayenne talk cheerfully with her best friend. "Anyway, we'll get going now. Have a wonderful day."
"Likewise."
Stefan left and walked to Cayenne's side to catch hold of her hand. "We just landed on time for lunch. Let's go and replenish our energy."
John automatically became part of their group and Marian didn't say anything about it. They just had a wonderful conversation earlier but now, they're back to playing mutes. However, it wasn't all that bad. Right now, both of them were walking side by side.
During lunch, Marian didn't react negatively when John placed some food on her plate. She even ate them happily, giving few words of how delicious it tastes. The rest of the group just acted like nothing has changed.
After lunch, Stefan led their group to Goreme Open Air Museum. They have seen this place earlier from above the ground but they have not seen what's really inside the stone structures. Now, it's time for them to find out.
Unlike other museums with tall and huge building structures, Goreme was completely different. It was a wide expanse of land which was covered with rock formations and rooms carved in rocks. You will have to get into tunnels and climbed stairs to see the beauty that people have carved into the rocks. As you climbed higher, you will be able to see the breathtaking valleys and the mountain ranges.
They spent an hour and half, looking around the Goreme Open Air Museum and if Stefan didn't say that there's one more thing they'd have to do, Cayenne would probably stay there wait for the sun to set.
