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
CHAPTER 38—Finally, At HomeRain's point of viewWhen we arrived at our house, I felt peace and comfort right there. Maybe it's because I know that our house is really here, and I feel more secure now that Ali is with us.Ali and I entered the guest room, where they will sleep, while no one has been found to be the headquarters. Migs will only stay here for a week with Gianna because they also have their own jobs. They will just make sure that they find a good place to be the headquarters."Gianna will stay in my room for now. You and Migs are here." I sat on the edge of the bed while Ali slowly walked inside the room. It looks like he's checking to see if it's okay.He nodded. "No problem. Where is your room?" He looked at me."Next door, that's my room." I smiled before standing up and approaching him. "Just leave your things here. I think Daddy ordered our dinner. Let's see if it arrives."He held my hand, and we left the room together. Gianna and I met someone talking on their cel
CHAPTER 39—Missing His MomRain's point of viewI was not surprised when I woke up the next day to find that there were many guards surrounding our house. My parents' house is not as big as the mansion in Villa Floris, but it is also two stories. But the number of security guards can be said to be the same as how many there are in the mansion.I gasped while pouring cereal and milk into the bowl. I haven't seen Ali since coming down from the room. My mommy is busy watering the plants. I just said good morning to her and went straight to the kitchen to have breakfast.I even glanced at my cell phone, which was on the table next to the bowl. Ali didn't even have a single text or call. When I knocked on his and Migs' room earlier, there was no one there. Even my cousin Gianna was not by my side when I woke up.My dad is like that too. He wasn't there, but I had an idea that it might have gone to a branch of our business.I had just taken a few bites of cereal when I decided to call Ali.
CHAPTER 40—Between Kean and AlionaRain's Point of ViewI did not expect to have a visitor on Monday. I just woke up, and my hair was still messy when I got out of bed. I went straight to the door, where there was a loud knock.I opened it with a frown, and my eyes almost widened when I saw Aliona and Azariah standing outside."Hey! What are you doing here?" I asked while looking at the two who entered my room."We'll just eat and then go home to the villa," said Azariah, her voice full of sarcasm. She tormented me before lying on my bed. "It's a long way from you!""That's why," Alion agreed, standing next to our cousin.I came closer to those earlier and was able to stand on the edge of the bed. "What time did you leave the villa?""It's still dark. It's early," Azariah said with her eyes closed.Aliona taught it. "It's because he drove like that. We're sleepy. Let's go to sleep first.""Okay." I sided with them. "It's good that Auntie Merceditas and Uncle Eliseo allowed you to visi
CHAPTER 41—Coupled RingRain's Point of ViewAli's car was the one we took when we left home. I'm laughing because it's honest, but we're going on a date. I shivered my head when Ali took my hand and kissed the back of it. I focused my attention outside the window."Where do you want to go?" Ali askedI looked at him. "It's up to you. You're the one who invited me," I answered.Ali seemed to think about what to say to me. "You're from here. Where can we go?"I also thought for a moment. "Besides malls, I don't know anything else, eh. I'm just a householder."He snorted. "Okay. Let's just watch a movie?""Okay. You can too."I think I'm one of the most boring people in the world. Because I'm a loner, I don't like to wander or even socialize with others. I also don't have any friends who can be called true friends like Azariah and Aliona.So when we became close, I changed many things even in myself.Ali and I went to a mall but we didn't like the movie showings so we preferred to go to
CHAPTER 42—New Guy in SchoolRain's Point of ViewI REALLY WANT to pinch cousin Azariah because she can't even hide the thrill she feels for the man who bumped into me earlier in the university. We're at a fast food chain now and it's still very exciting while telling the story.Aliona just shook her head because of what our cousin was showing. "Sometimes I just want to embarrass my female cousin," she said and took a bite of spaghetti.I laughed at this and tormented Azariah. "Even me, huh." I bit into my tuna pie and scolded my cousin. "Azariah, can you just calm down? People are staring at us. It's embarrassing!"Her eyebrows rose. "Well, that man is really handsome. Too bad we didn't get his name. Oh my!""Stop it. You're making so much noise!""I don't know about you. Considering, you're in love, huh!""You too, right?"Azariah frowned. "I'm not. I've moved on from my ex. So I can find a new man who will love me and fight for me." She smiled at us. "We know, the man with the gray
CHAPTER 43—Von is NiceRain's Point of ViewI WAS NOT IN THE MOOD when I dressed up for university. I didn't hang out with my cousins anymore because I was only there for a while. There is one subject because I didn't get a schedule so I have to go back."You seem sluggish. Are you okay?" Mom asked while still touching my neck and forehead.I avoided it. "Yes, mom. I'm fine.""I guess you can just take your aim at the university tomorrow. Can you rest first?"I shook my head. I don't want to say that there are other reasons why I am lethargic. I'm really fine. It's just that I'm not in the mood because Ali didn't go home with us.Even if I want to understand, I feel really bad.'What if someone kidnaps me and he's gone? How am I, right?'Even if I say that it's fine and that I understand, I still feel hurt. I want to demand time from him but it's not allowed. Do not know. I can not understand myself. I have a lot of patience but when it comes to Ali, I get sulky easily."I'm leaving,"
