22. JUST RELAX

Before leaving for their honeymoon, Maja and Jace joined the Drozd family in Sulani to celebrate Filip's birthday at the Fla-meal Restaurant.

Anna: It's wonderful that you managed to come.

Maja: We would never miss dad's birthday.

Jace: Oh, Maja, look... Greta gave birth!





Maja: A baby boy!

Yuki: Speaking of kids... Ahem... We have a second daughter, who, for some reason, we named Euzebia.

Jace: Greek name! Means someone saint. The Watcher believer!

Anna: Baby season started! Yay! I didn't think I'd hear this from you first, but I'm still happy!




Bea: So I also have news - me and Vaea are engaged.

Klara: Do I know this boy?

Bea: Yes, Grandma! He was with me at Maja and Jace's wedding!

Filip: Can I ask for proper attention on my birthday, or has everyone already forgotten about me? And where is the food?




Filip blew out candles and felt the weight of a new life stage. Have these bones always hurt? Why this numbness? The prospect of the end terrified him - he had so much more to experience. Time to retire. Others can save the environment now; he'll pursue new passions and dreams!




Anna: I'm so jealous of you and this trip. I heard the museums there are great! 

Jace: And what views! I can't wait to see it and take all these landscape photos!





They finally reached Al-Simhara.

Maja: I'm so tired, these constant journeys between worlds make me feel completely "detuned".

Jace: Then let me tune you a bit.




Jace: You know, we don't have to go anywhere at all... at least for a while.




Maja: Izi was right, this place is wonderful! I'm going to get something to eat, you want anything?

Jace: Thanks, I'll go later, I'm now enjoying the sun.

...

Blond guy: Well, well, look who it is. Maja Drozd!

Maja: Malcolm Landgraab?! [OMW, and the Watcher promised no dramas!]




For the record, Malcolm is Artur's cousin, and Artur Zest was Maja's ex from high school.




Malcolm: You haven't changed a thing, you're still quite a catch.

Maja: Hey! Keep such texts to yourself, I'm married!

Malcolm: Uh, why so harsh? You know, it doesn't bother me, we could hide somewhere here, smoke some bubbles, reminisce on high school...




Maja: What are you even suggesting?! You're awful, Malcolm!

Malcolm: Uh, and you really haven't changed at all, still a tight-ass. Byeee!

....

Jace: Is everything okay?

Maja: Yeeeeah... You know, apparently they have bubbles here. We could try... If you want...




Maja: Alright, I'll go first. Whoa.... not that bad!

Jace: Since we're doing crazy stuff like that, how about some woohoo in a public place?

Maja: It's a pity that there is no storage space here... but an old wardrobe will also work. 




Of course, there was also some sightseeing.

Jace: I'm sorry you didn't get a promotion and didn't fulfill your New Year's resolution.

Maja: Yeah... well, if not now, then later. There'll be more opportunities! Okay, since our new dynamic is Jokesters, come on, let's make funny faces!




Maja: Besides, I got a pretty good cooperation offer. I just need to send some travel video to Far Away insurance company within 24 hours. Luckily, we are in such an amazing place, they will definitely like the video from here!




Maja: I wonder... What will happen if I pull it...? OMW!!!

Jace: What should I do?! WHAT SHOULD I DO?!

Maja: No panic! Danger under control! With Far Away insurance, no trip is scary for me!

[This was quite a video!]




After such experiences, it is good to relax a bit in the local bathhouse and eat something delicious at the Arabesque Restaurant.




Al-Simhara hides various cultural monuments, and Jace wants to see them all! And to photograph his beautiful wife! Jace is overjoyed with his life, meeting Maja, and now discovering the world with her. Maybe "without melodrama" isn't accurate, but everything is good now!




There's nothing like morning coffee.

Maja: You know, they were delighted with the video from the pyramids! They even wrote that they didn't have to correct anything!

And in the afternoon, some shopping at the local market. 

And in the evening...

Al-Simhara nights, like Al-Simhara days

More often than not are hotter than hot

In a lot of good ways




Maja and Jace went a little crazy last night, and Maja isn't sure now if not too much...

Maja: Honey... Everything was fine last night, right? There won't be any buns in the oven? Because I don't think I'm ready...

Jace: Buns? I don't know anything about buns, but I made pizza.




However, Maja is not feeling well. Maybe it was just the pizza that was bad for her... Good thing it's the last day of their holiday. 

Still, better to check...
