Chapter 5: Waipoua Forest and a night with Arianna
Cyrus left Russell and the gorgeous Michelle behind, as he made his way west towards the Waipoua Forest. He had booked a stay at a quiet homestead for a couple of nights, in a town called Dargaville, and had planned to go on walks, write in his journal and relax, especially after his torrid 3-day boat cruise.
He took the ferry across, and from Paihia, he drove directly west towards Omapere. From here, he drove south, through the forest, along the coast and eventually to Dargaville. The scenery once again stunning, he stopped several times along the way to do some photography.
During the drive, his mind was filled with several thoughts; Priya, Michelle, Natalie, his career, the trip that lay ahead. It was the 22nd of November, and three weeks had already gone by, but three extremely stimulating, exciting and not to mention, lustful weeks. He hadn't spoken to Priya at all, but was now becoming eager to hear her voice again. He made a mental note to call her as soon as he reached.
He reached Dargaville close to 2 p.m. and drove through the gates of the homestead, a large 175-acre farm of sheep and cows. He drove up the long path and up a tiny hill to the house, parked his car and walked into the rustic stone structure.
"Good afternoon." An old lady walked up to him. "I'm Kathy. How can I help you?" She said, slowly walking towards a large mahogany desk in the corner of a very warm and cozy room. He looked around at the very homely and cozy interiors of their rural and simple home, and knew right away that he was going to have a fairly relaxing time.
"Yes ma'am. I'm Cyrus Mistry. I'm here for 2 nights."
"Yes, here it is. We have you in the Stable Suite just up those stairs. Why don't you get comfortable? If you need anything at all, I'm around here most of the time, so please don't hesitate to ask. I'll be happy to help with the activities and anything else you might be interested in."
"Great, thanks so much Kathy. Oh by the way, I read that you provide dinner as well?"
"Yes, we certainly do. It's a very simple home-style meal that we cook up. You just need to let me know a couple of hours before."
"Great, so put me down for both nights." He didn't feel like going into town and finding a place to eat.
"Ok, wonderful. My husband will be around later as well."
"Ok, thanks. See you later." Cyrus took his luggage up to his room. He entered a huge suite, decorated in walnut wood and stone, and accessorized with beige colored fabrics. The spacious living area was furnished with a comfortable looking couch and a solid wood desk and chair. To the right was a large balcony overlooking the rolling hills of the farm. To his left was the spacious bedroom with a plush king size bed and a large bathroom. It was roomy and luxurious but in a rustic way.
The first thing Cyrus did was fill the large tub with hot water and foam and relaxed in it for nearly an hour. He let the warm water soften his muscles as he lay there with his eyes closed, listening to music from his iPod. After he dried off, he lay on the bed in his bathrobe, watching some TV and caught up on some world events. He surfed the channels and came across an old British comedy serial, Black Adder, that Priya and he used to watch all the time back home. As it ended, he picked up the phone and called her.
"Pri! It's me!" He nearly screamed as he heard her voice on the other end.
"Cy!!" She screamed. "Oh my god! Where the hell are you?" She sounded so ecstatic to hear his voice. "It's been days. How're you doing?"
"Awesome ya, Pri. It's so amazing here. I've been having such a blast. Eating, drinking, doing loads of photography." He of course left out details of his sexual romps he'd indulged in over the past couple of weeks. "I can't even tell you what a great time I'm having."
"Wow, you sound so excited. A complete transformation from a few weeks ago. I'm so happy for you."
"So what's up with you? What've you been doing?"
"Well, the same old really. Work's been a little light though, which is good. Last weekend bunch of us went away for the weekend to Rahul's farm. Other than that, same old. But tell me more."
"Guess what I just finished watching?"
"A porn." She laughed, a sound Cyrus really missed hearing.
"Ya, and I called you just to tell you that." He snickered. "No idiot.... Black Adder."
"Black Adder?? My god.... I remember those times when we watched 8 episodes in a row." She laughed.
"It's still hilarious."
"But don't tell me you're in New Zealand watching Black Adder."
"No ya. I just reached this farm today, after a long drive and a hectic few days, so was just relaxing."
"So what've you been up to?"
"Uh, after Auckland I drove to the gorgeous far north and drove around a lot. I've traveled only a third of the North so far, and I've already seen so many amazing places, gone on such beautiful walks, I really think of you all the time."
"How sweet."
"Serious, you'd really love all of this."
"I know darling." She laughed. "I've been there, but I feel I didn't completely explore it. Again someday. So anyways, what plans now?"
"So now I'm at this farmstay for a couple of nights before heading back to Auckland for a night. Then a couple of more weeks exploring the North Island."
"You sound so happy. I love to hear you like this again. So is it merely being away that is making you happy, or some other reasons."
"What do you mean?"
"Cyrus, you know what I mean." She snickered.
He laughed. "Well, I guess I've met a couple of girls along the way."
"Just a couple. Really. Crazy boy."
"Anyways, I gotta go Pri. I'm heading out before it gets dark."
"Ok. Have fun. Take care of yourself, ok? Call me soon."
"Will do. You too. Bye babes!"
He hung up, finally having spoken to Priya, filling him with that familiar sense of happiness. For some reason, neither of them gave that feeling enough attention, or thought that it might have meant something much more.
He got dressed and walked down to find Kathy, and her husband having tea in the living room.
"Oh Cyrus, meet Bill." Kathy called out.
"Hi Bill. Nice to meet you."
"Hi Cyrus. Nice to meet you. All ok up there?"
"Absolutely, you have a lovely place."
"Thanks. Would you like a cup of tea or coffee?"
"Sure, I'd love some coffee." Kathy got up to get him some while he sat down to speak with Bill.
