CHAPTER 30Rain's Point of ViewEXCEPT while cooking, I turned on my phone and let the songs on it play. I still occasionally sing while cutting cookies. I thought of just cooking chicken curry because it's easy to cook and that's what Ali's kitchen has.I also sieved the rice to cook the dish later, we now have rice. We spent the night in the hospital earlier and now, it's seven in the morning. That's why I'm yawning. I feel sleepy.I even screamed when I felt the sharp knife cut my finger. I immediately let go of the knife I was holding and went to the sink to wash the bleeding wound.When it stopped bleeding, I immediately went back to what I was doing. A few moments later I was sauteing chicken.That's when I noticed Ali coming out of his room. "Have you rested?" I asked him.He nodded but his eyes were on what I was doing. "You alright?""Y-yeah." I quickly hid the injured finger."Are you sure? It's like I heard a scream. I wondered how you were."I smiled. "Maybe you just made
CHAPTER 31Rain's Point of ViewI WAKE UP to a light hand caressing my cheek. I immediately smiled when I saw that it was Ali. He is wearing different clothes but his arm is still bandaged. I slowly got up and sat on the bed."You just got home?" I asked him."A while ago. I already took a shower."I frowned. "How did you take a bath if you had a wound on your arm? Who helped you?""Just me! I can do that alone.""Are you sure?""Yes.""Okay. How is your schedule? Any news?" I asked remembering where he went earlier."When I got there, the bodies were gone. Three bodies of men were found according to the police. All are at the funeral home.""Have you met?"Ali shook his head. "Because their car exploded when it hit a tree, the engine quickly exploded. The bodies were burnt so they could not be identified."I felt both fear and pity for that. "Theyre pitiful.""Poor thing? Do you know that their goal is your life and then you feel sorry for them?" Ali looked a little angry when he sai
CHAPTER 32—Has a FeverRain's Point of ViewAli and I would hold hands while walking back to the mansion. I just smile every time I think of Ali and I having a relationship. It's like I have assurance and rights with him."Is it okay if I tell mommy about us?" I asked him."It's fine. I told you, your parents accepted me and they voted for me."I just shook my head. Ali is my first boyfriend and I am happy because what he said is true. My parents voted for him so I know I won't have any problems with them.We were in the living room when we first saw Aliona eating in the living room while holding her cell phone. Her eyes widened when she saw Ali and I holding hands. She stood up and quickly approached me."Just excuse me, Ali? I will talk to my cousin, okay?""It's okay. I'll just look for Sir Elmer too.""Okay. Take your time!" Aliona waved.Before Ali turned his back on us, he kissed me on the cheek causing Aliona and I's eyes to widen."See you later," he said.Aliona almost squeez
CHAPTER 33—Taking Care of HimRain's Point of ViewBECAUSE Ali had to take medicine right away, I didn't cook anymore. I just sent food from the mansion and also sent medicine. I made sure that everything needed would be brought to his house.While waiting, I went inside the room to wipe Ali with a face towel. I felt him for a while and when I was sure he was asleep, I carefully sat next to him. I laughed a little when I saw Ali's eyebrows meet even though he was sound asleep.I lightly slapped Ali's cheek and forehead. He's still hot. Maybe it was because of the wound from the bullet wound. I just sighed before grabbing the face towel and submerging it in the water. I squeezed it and slowly touched it to his skin. Even though he didn't wake up, Ali's face showed that he was slightly relieved by what I was doing. I also took another face towel which I followed by wiping in passing with a wet face towel.I continued it up to his neck to his arm.After a while, I finished what I was doi
CHAPTER 34—Ali's FriendRain's Point of ViewI WAKE UP when I was on the edge of the bed and Ali was not there. I got up and quickly stood up and left the room."Ali! What are you doing here?" I asked him when I saw him standing and bending over the sink. I held him. "Are you okay?"He nodded."Are you dizzy? What do you need? Tell me, I will do it for you," I asked one after another. "Are you hungry?"He shook his head. "I-I'm going to get some water," Ali said softly"I'll get you. Sit down first." I made him sit in the empty high chair. I went to the fridge and filled the glass with water. I gave it to Ali but I was still worried. "Is there anything else you want to do?"He shook his head. He looked at the door and frowned. "T-there's someone…""Yes. Those are guards that mommy sent." Ali nodded then bowed. I noticed that. "Do you want to go back to your room?" I didn't wait for his answer, but we immediately stepped into the room.When Ali was laid down, I adjusted his position on
CHAPTER 35—Shouldn't RushRain's Point of ViewWhen I went to the living room, I found my daddy and Migs talking at the mini bar counter.Doctor Migs immediately smiled at me when he saw me come out of Ali's room. He even raised the sandwich in his hand that looked like it came from my mommy's delivery. I just nodded here. It walked closer to me."I'll just go see Ali.""Okay." Dad left us.Daddy turned around and looked at me seriously. "Rain, is what Ali said true?"I nodded and sat on the high chair. "Yes, dad. Why?"It didn't answer immediately. He nodded slowly then came closer to me. He put his arm around my shoulder before speaking, "Rain, I know you know that we are not against whatever you and Ali have. Actually, we are even reassured now because we know that Ali will tighten your security even more," he said. "But Ali's job is not easy.""I know that, daddy. To be honest, I'm worried about him."My daddy gently patted my arm. "Even us, but let's just trust him, okay?""Yes,
CHAPTER 36—Picky EaterRain's Point of ViewI happily ate dinner with Ali that night. That's when I found out the things he doesn't like and likes. Anyway, I can recognize the personality of my boyfriend."I don't eat Bitter gourd," he said."Why? That's nutritious, ah!""Even so. There are other vegetables that have the same nutrients as bitter gourd. I can't really take the risk of eating that. It's like I'm punishing myself," he laughed before taking a bite."Even so. You're a picky eater.""I'm not picky.""Yes you are.""Not really. It's just that bitter gourd was really different to me."I laughed. "That's the same."I made him drink medicine before sending him back to the room. He still needs to drink to speed up the healing of the wound in his arm. I cleaned the kitchen first. After finishing what I had to do, I fixed my own clothes because I was going to take a shower. I rummaged through the bag that my daddy had brought earlier with only my clothes but I couldn't find a towe
CHAPTER 37—LimitationsRain's Point of ViewMy cousin also left me in the room after that and was about to go back to where mommy was when Ali entered my room. He even raised the box of buko pie and smiled at me."Do you want some, baby?"I smiled as I reached for the box. I excitedly sat on the sofa and Ali also sat next to me. I opened it excitedly. "It smells! It looks delicious!" I said and smelled it some more. I was even more appetizer to see that the crust was a bit dry. "Where did you buy it?""I had a friend and I asked to do that.""You ordered?" I took one."Yes. It's made to order." His face shows pride in himself.I looked at Ali in disbelief. "Really?""Yes! Ask Gianna and Migs! I'm with them," he said with a snort as he leaned on the sofa. "You don't seem to trust me."I chewed and swallowed the knuckle pie in my mouth before answering, "Are you sulking?""I do not know about you." His eyebrows met and he frowned.I laughed at his reaction. I wiped my mouth first before
