Frieze's home was all set. Alex helped her with the kitchen and bathroom while Peter was busy supervising the laborers to keep the furniture in the hall and her bedroom. Peter also set the curtains up while Alex continued with the kitchen. It was already late 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 glad 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 homecoming, 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 she comes 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 plan to put forward. As all waited for her to speak, she cleared her throat and confidently spoke
"I have planned 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 plan already. I will take a half day tomorrow so that I can come home early and do the packing."
