Amoudi Bay, Santorini – 6th June 2018


"OKAY chérie, time to get away from the family," Nayir declared and intertwined their fingers.

"We've walked by crowded lanes so far. We still have to visit the blue domes and gobble up some gelatos," Hayat complained.

"I'm aware but I have a little surprise for you. We're engaged now. We can abandon them for one evening."

"We should have informed someone in case they began searching for us."

"Aryan has been tipped off and helped me out as well."

Brows shot up, she professed, "He spoke nothing about it to me."

"Well that's what makes it a surprise, now come on; we have two hundred something stairs to descend."

Beginning at the notable Oia castle where tourists clustered at dusk, Hayat and Nayir hiked the other direction. Along the side where the wall is painted white, pink bougainvillea hanging overhead or mere shade, they'll come across tourists having multiple photoshoots.

And if not for her hand wrapped around his elbow, she would have almost kissed the uneven steps a few times. The wide cobblestone stairs were steep and slick. Her pricey sandals from Aryan's last collection is becoming close to no use.

Laughing, Nayir asked, "Are you okay this time?"

"Please walk closer by my side. I'm pretty near to shrug off these sandals and walk barefoot."

"I'm afraid you are aiming for blisters. With the sun beating down hard on our heads, these steps are too heated."

"The view makes it worth," she admitted.

"No doubt about it"

On both sides are outstanding red cliffs. White washed buildings speckled the bay. Boats and catamarans floated on the immaculate turquoise water followed by the island of Therasia in the distance. No surprise this picturesque scenery attracts thousands of globetrotters and honeymooners.

That is until they spotted several donkeys lined by the rocky wall. Hayat switched place with Nayir and hastened down the stairs much to her fiancé teasing her by attempting to pull her closer to the animals.

"Nayir, I swear I will- ow, don't let go of me. I'm gonna fall."

"You're being very dramatic today, chérie."

"Hurry up"

"I had no idea you are scared of donkeys."

"Well we've never encountered donkeys before, have we? They are unpredictable and might kick if they feel threatened. Do we need to be humiliated by donkeys a day after our engagement? People ask, oh hey how was Santorini? Great some donkeys kick us in the back. What a memorable day."
