Chapter 28 - What You Won't Do For Love

Part 1.

"Babe? Hello, earth calling....Are you still in Italy or you're somewhere else?" Hans whispers softly in my ears. That startled me.

"Hey, terkejut I. Oh,....trying to be funny ya?"I splash the water at him...

"Wowww,....basahlah I." He stepped back and wiped of the water on his arms and face. I felt bad of what I did.

"Babe, anyway it's 3 pm and I am going out for a while to meet Leonardo. Just wanna check out what else we can do while in Positano. Don't stay too long in the tub." He gave me a quick peck on the lips.

"Bikini in your own bath...hmmmm.....I don't understand...." he gave a cheeky smile and left the room.

"Enough Hans....." I spoke up and smiled to myself. "Alright see you later...." I whispered softly almost to myself and closed my eyes.

My muscles feels so relax. The effect of the water is soothing and you start having a nice feeling inside you. The best way I can describe it is like a little smile covers your whole body. When you get out, you don't feel wiped, but you do feel a little happier. Water temperature is quite important cause if you put on at 104 degrees (40 C) it will relax your muscles, but at 98.6 degrees (37 C) it will relax your soul......

I got out of the hot tub and took a quick shower. I put on a short dress and poured myself a glass of apple juice. While waiting for Hans, I switched on the television in case there are news on the recent earthquake. It was on every local TV channel. My eyes were fixed on the news that I did not notice Hans was standing next to me....

"Hi Babe. It doesn't look good. Do you want to contact UNDSS? Go ahead." Hans said while his hand rubbed my back.

"I will e-mail the Security Officer. Thanks Hans. Thanks for being very supportive." I thanked him and he kissed on my head. Ya know,....those minor, small gestures really means so much to me. A rub on the shoulder once in a while, the kiss on my forehead and most of all my favorite was when he kissed my palms. It always gets to me.....so honest.

"Forget about it....(with Godfather accent....boo....hoo....)" and he winked.  Ha...ha...ha... I find it hilarious.

E-mail sent.

I found Hans sitting on the balcony and looking out at the surrounding view..., "Hi sexy." I hugged him from behind. "So what's the plan this evening?" I asked.

Hans turned and stood up facing me with both hands already on my hips. He kinda sway a little and kissed on my left neck and then my right neck. Hmmm.....goosebumps all over me. I followed his lead as we stepped back into the room. With one arm still around my hips he used the other hand to pull down the sheer curtain and hugged me passionately. "I love you babe...." Hans said softly.



"If you are ready, let's go for a drive and we'll stop by the beach." and continued to kiss me but this time on my lips......

"In a car..............?" I was weak to my knees. I felt the sensation from his breath circling my ear as I toss my head back.

"Ah..ha...a convertible car....(he looked at me and nod a few times), packed dinner for us. Lepak an hour or two, see the sunset and a night cap then kita balik to the hotel....how does that sounds?" Typical of Hans. Always full of surprises.

"Okaayyy....I was thinking something like an indoor activity....but now your idea is so tempting. Alright it's on......" I kissed him......."Let me change into something light." And I agreed to go.

Part 2.


As we stepped out of Le Sirenuse, Leonardo was already there, standing next to a blue convertible sport car. All smiles....he is such a dear.

I went over to him and gave him a kiss on his cheeks. "Signora, you make me embarrassed..." and he kissed me back both my cheeks.

"I packed a beach bag and dinner basket for you. Hope you enjoy your time at ta beach." Leonardo explained. Hans came over and open the car door and I slide in to the front car seat. He thanked Leonardo and passed him some tips. Leonardo smiled, "Grazie Signore." he said.


"This is very sweet of you, Hans. You amazed me. You really know how to impress a woman. And I really appreciate your effort." I kissed him hard on the lips.

"Things I would do for love, babe." He started the car engine. "Are you ready?" he asked.

I nodded. And off we go for a joy ride.

The weather was perfect. I let the wind in my hair, the sun on my face and the smell of nature instead of the chill of air conditioning. It was exhilarating. At times I looked at Hans. Then lay my head on his shoulder and he would have one arm around me. I feel loved.

Finally we arrived.




Fornillo Beach is a secluded beach. The only access is by a romantic path that climbs west and  you can reach its lovely beach. If you’re looking for a more quiet day, away from the crowds, but don’t want to travel outside of Positano, this is your best bet. This time of the year the crowd are smaller as it is approaching fall season and getting cooler.

We found a spot and spread the beach towel on the sand. We sat down  and Hans took out the food prepared by Leonardo. There were egg and tuna sandwiches, various type of cheeses, bread, green and fruit salad. Hans poured lemon and mint cocktail in a flute and pass it to me. "Thanks Hans..." I thanked him and smiled. I took a sip. I raised one eye brow. It's a sign of approval that deserved to be be celebrated. I raised my flute glass at him, "...Salute...".

"Would it be alright if I switched on to Sportify? To get the mood going......" I asked Hans.

"Sure. Allow me.... by the way I have this one particular song that I want to share with you." His fingers was moving fast on the cellphone screen searching for the song.

"Tika, if you are ever in doubt about our relationship the lyrics has significant meaning how much I found the kind of love I was looking for......" He smiled.

"Hans, you ni.....jiwang jugak ye?" I giggled as I teased him. He laughed. "Tak ada orang dalam dunia ini yang tidak jiwang, babe......" He responded to my question.

I guess you wonder where I've been
I searched to find the love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can't let go

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can't let go

Some people go around the world for love
And they may never find what they dream off
What you won't do, do for love
You tried everything
But you won't give up
In my world only you
Make me do for love
What I would not do

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can't let go

Though I only want the best it's true
Can't believe the things I do for you

What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything
But you won't give up
In my world only you
Make me do for love

What I would not do

Part 3.

Selesai mendengar lagu tadi yang di popularkan oleh Bobby Caldwell aku mengangguk menandakan it was a quality and meaningful song. "I understood the lyrics.What you won't do for love....." I blurted out. I had my knees up to my chest and my head rested on my knee.



"Was that your take on the song?" Hans asked and looked at me.

"Well, a very good song. I like it. I have heard of it before but never appreciate the lyrics until now." I explained. "I mean one has to be really in love to actually feel how much a song can bring out the best in them. One could feel happy, sad, mysterious, jealous, hurt from each word.....such a punch in the face. To the listener it is a connection and be in another dimension..........which can either be reality or fantasy. The lyrics were direct yet colorful and they don't write like that anymore today. That's my take on the song....." I face at the open sea.
Hans laughed and slide closer next to me. Then he started to sing....."Some people go around the world for love, and they may never find what they dream off. What you won't do, do for love,  you tried everything but you won't give up. In my world only you....."

"Hmmmm....wow he can sing too......." aku tersenyum meleret dan melagakan bahuku ke bahunya dengan manja.... "I get how you feel....and I am flattered, very much. Thank you. I love you to moon and back. By the way did you know he was named the best new black artist by Billboard Magazine? But he's not black.." I understood his feelings and at the same time show off a bit of my music knowledge.

"Like a punch to my face, as you say....."he said. He playfully grabbed my neck and hold me in his arms. I laughed. "Pandai pun...."



We ate, talked, ate and walked along the beach. I took pictures of the sunset and it was such a delight staring at the sun going down. Then we decided to pack as it was getting darker. It will be a long way up to the car.

When we reached on top, Hans placed the picnic basket in the back seat. He pulled me closed to him and placed his hands around my waist. "There is one last place I want to take you tonight. It's 5 minutes drive from here and called The Music on the Rocks."

I placed my arms around Hans waist and looked up at him. "You see, I am in a daze from your love. Just take me anywhere. As long as I am with you......" I said and he lean forward to kiss my lips. I let him hold me tight in his arms while my arms are moving everywhere on his back. I held on tighter and lean my body press hard against his. He had to lean against the car for support.....We were in that position another few seconds and Hans slowly open the car door. Lead me into the car, I sat and Hans closed the door. His hands rested on the side of the door and he bent down as I looked up.....a kiss on my lips...and again. I ran my fingers vertically on his face. He grabbed it and kissed my palm.


The drive to Music on the Rocks took only 5 minutes. Established about forty years ago and is said as one of the clubs most original and beautiful in the world, built inside a cave, with access from the Spiaggia Grande of Positano. It has two levels, the dance floor with live music, lounge and disco. Upstairs in the fashionable Restaurant Rada where you can enjoy fine cuisine with Mediterranean flavors and also delicious pastry creations.

We stayed a while for a few drinks, watched the crowd and hit the dance floor to classic disco songs. We had a fantastic time. Then we went upstairs for a night cap. It was past midnight when we left the discotheque back to the hotel.
