We arrived at the airport and checked in our luggage. Since we had more than an hour to spare before boarding we hang out at the Sky Lounge Bar.
The Sky Lounge Bar combines quality catering and entertainment
offers sophisticated dishes, cocktails and high level coffee in a comfortable,
elegant, modern environment with table service. I ordered Caramel Latte and took out my laptop and start to update my blog.
We landed at Capodichino International Airport in Naples after one and a half hours flight. A private car was waiting to take us to Le Sirenuse,
in Positano which will be another hour and a half journey by car. Positano is
located on the Amalfi Coast, 55 km south of Naples.
After watching 'Only You' 20 or so years ago I never imagine myself being here one day. Well, what do you know.....I am here and it's for real! I fell in love with Amalfi Coast the moment I am
done with the movie. The scenery along Amalfi Coast was splendid and beautiful with houses built on the cliffs or hills (whichever you wanna call) and the narrow road leading to our destination.
From the moment we stepped into the hotel, the staff at Le Sirenuse really exceeded my expectations. It starts with the check in process. It isn't just the warm towels and the fresh lemonade during check in, but the real attention that the staff pays that sets it apart. We had a thorough introduction to the amenities of the hotel, and not the usual quick run through of the pool is here, the restaurant there. The staff accompanied us to our room to explain its amenities as well.
Le Sirenuse is a
wonderful place from which to enjoy the simple pleasures of Positano and the
spectacular Amalfi Coast. From what I was told all of their rooms are
individually different from one another. They are decorated with antique and
contemporary furniture from Europe and the East. Most rooms and terraces are 70
meters above the sea have a breath taking view.
As I walked in our one bedroom suite I was mesmerized by the
classic furniture and its setting. I peeked into the bathroom. They are made
of marble and decorated with handmade tiles.
I looked at Hans and we both smile. “You like it?” he asked
and held out his right hand. I took his hand as we walk to the balcony. It was sunset and the view was exquisite
overlooking the bay of Positano. “I love it very much. Thank you for making it
happen….” as I lean against his right arm. He lift his arm moved and placed them on my
shoulder. He squeezed me gently and kissed on my head. Then we just cuddle in each others arm. We sway but there was no music. The tune was playing only in our heads.
Part 2.
Le Sirenuse was the idea of the Sersale's siblings which was
opened in 1951. They turned their summer house in Positano into a hotel, today it
is considered one of Italy’s leading seaside luxury hotels. Le Sirenuse is
beautiful, we had room 93 which is a suite with a lovely balcony to relax on. I
love this hotel. What a brilliant idea to open a hotel on this spot.
That night we changed for dinner.
We didn't speak much that night. We were just enjoying the sound of the ocean, the cool breeze, the music and each other's company. Hans looked so relax and handsome in his dinner suit. At times we kissed, hold hands and brushed our legs under the table....acting naughty.
I can't quite put my finger on what it is but this is without
doubt one of the most special places I’ve been. The atmosphere is cool and unpretentious;
surprisingly I’ve only been here for a few hours.
When we were done with dinner, we decided to walk along the
pool while enjoying the view overlooking the bay of Positano.
“I have an important proposal for you. I hope when I am done
explaining you will think seriously about it.”Tiba-tiba Hans bersuara.
“Oh? A proposal? Sounds very important?"I responded. "By the way you have been very quiet tonight....."
“Have I? I must have been a boring date tonight?" Hans replied
"Well,...not really. I get to discover more about you, your character and I have them all written at the back of my mind. For future reference...mmmm...." I stopped and watched the waves far out into the ocean.
"You are such a funny girl....and I've never met anyone like you. You can be a classy lady at one moment and you can just shift like an excited child the next minute. You are so unique. One in a million. And I love you more and more each day." Hans expressed his feelings.
I turned and looked at him. The best feelings is when I looked at him he was already staring at me. "Lady like? Excited child? Hmmmm.....like a chameleon?" and I walked closer to him. I brushed my finger on his hair as he pull down my hand. He placed my hand on his chest and said, "Yes, like a chameleon...my one and only."
His words made me giggled...."Ok, what about the proposal? as we continued to walk.
"How would you like to work with my dad’s firm? We have a position vacant in Human Resources Division. It will be such an honor to have you come on board.” Hans laid out his proposal. I stopped walking and we looked at each other.

“Wow, this is so sudden….I don’t know. I love the job I have
now……” I explained but Hans interrupted, “You do not have to decide anything
yet…..at least think about it.” With his pointer finger he tilted my chin and
kissed me softly.
“How long has it been? How long have you been thinking about
this?”aku bertanya lalu menoleh ke arah laut……
Hans hold my hand, “It’s been a while.…..Puan Mazni tendered her resignation about a month ago. She's following her husband who recently got promoted and will be starting at his new Tokyo office in October. I
do not have her replacement yet. I checked out your resume, please don’t be angry….Linkedln helps a lot. Tika, you will be great for
the position. The salary is good and flexible perks comes together with the position such as bonuses, company car, travel and entertainment.”
"I see,....it's a huge responsibility Hans, and kinda high position that you are offering me. Let me think about it, alright. I don't know whether I am capable to handle since I've left Malaysian labor law and policy almost 10 years. But if I turn down your offer I tak mau you kecil hati ya..." I warned him. "I am not worried about the salary and perks you're offering. Gaji I sekarang pun sudah cukup bagi I. I have big plans, you know. I wanna work abroad in different country offices to gain as much experience as I possibly can. We can travel at the same time. I just don't wanna be stuck at one place."
"Ok, I understand and I will support whatever your decision. Please think about it and if you decide otherwise....there will be no hard feelings." Hans promised. We kissed and walked back to our room.
Part 3.
I told Hans I was tired and want to go to bed early. He said he will follow soon. He has a little bit of work to do, reply a few e-mails and phone calls to his dad and Johan. Perhaps he missed so much his weekend activities with Johan; all the bike rides and male bonding. He was sitting at the writing table and I came from behind, wrapped both my arms around him. I kissed him on his head and said good night. He wrapped his arms around mine and gave me a kiss. I gave him one last hug, let go and walked into the bedroom.
"Assalamualaikum dad,...how are you?" Hans asked.
"Great. We are having a fantastic time. We are in Positano at the Le Sirenuse Hotel. Tika loves this place.She has such an impeccable taste when it comes to traveling. It's beautiful here. You should bring mom here for your anniversary." Hans answered.
"I am glad both kids are with you now...Is Mummy Rozario ok with the arrangements?"
"Yes, I did. I told here about Puan Mazni vacant position. She needs time to think about it. She said it would be a huge responsibility taking over Puan Mazni's position. Basically she felt she is not qualified. She loves her current job, dad."
"I know....I know she is smart but I have my way of dealing this issue with her. No worries dad she will definitely take the offer. I'll make that happen and just considered it's a done deal."
"Once she on board her first task is to hire Faz, dad. He's young and full of ideas. He's the top architect in town. Insya Allah, we will also bring him on board."
"Will do. Regards to mom please and you guys take care."
Hans walked in the bedroom and saw Tika sleeping in his T-shirt again. He smiled and crawled into bed. Hans pulled Tika closed to him......,"I'm counting on you babe....." he whispered softly.
"I see,....it's a huge responsibility Hans, and kinda high position that you are offering me. Let me think about it, alright.
