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,"
CHAPTER 44—TrappedRain's Point of ViewAli's face CANNOT be painted while driving a car. I didn't scream anymore when he told Manny that I was going with him in his car. Even though the air conditioner is cold, I feel like I'm sweating because of the nervousness. I know I'm not doing anything wrong but Ali seems to have a different aura now.He frowned and looked seriously at the road. All attention is on driving.I tried to get his attention by knocking on the window but he didn't even look. I just snorted."Where?" I called him."Hmm?" That was my boyfriend's only response.I just frowned then violently blew out air. "Are you mad at me?" I will ask."No.""They say no, but you're not paying attention to me." I folded my arms and looked out the window. I wonder what could be the reason why Ali is like this to me. "You should, when you have a problem with me, talk to me so I know what my fault is."As a matter of fact, I should be the one to sulk because he left suddenly. I prepared
CHAPTER 45—JealousyRain's Point of ViewI DO NOT remember how Ali and I got home. I'm still shaking with fear because of what happened. We are now in the living room and mommy calms me down.My daddy and Ali are investigating what happened at the restaurant. I heard that they are getting a copy of all the CCTV cameras in the whole mall."Rain, do you want to go up to your room? It would be better if you rest your mind and body," mom suggested.I shook my head. "I don't want to, mom. I'm scared," I answered, still shaking.She held my hand. "Rain, no one will threaten or hurt you here. This is our house, right?" Mom said that softly.I just looked at her then spoke, "W-who is that, mom? Did someone trip me?"My parents and Ali looked at each other. There is a trace of pity on their faces for me. I bowed down. To this day I can't believe that that happened to me. What happened before on the highway is one of our puzzles. Especially what happened earlier."Rain, it's better if you rest.
CHAPTER 46—Wife MaterialRain's Point of ViewTHE NEXT DAY I woke up early. I will cook breakfast for Ali. Today I made sure that my boyfriend was still at home before I cooked because my effort might be wasted again.I went to his room earlier. I had a duplicate key with me so I could see that he was still fast asleep. I smiled in a lame way when I remembered that I had caught Ali without a top.Her blanket was removed and revealed his beautiful and petted gym body. My throat felt dry when I saw the appearance of my boyfriend in my mind.His biceps are perfect and seem to be hard to hold. His abs, it's eight. And his chest has little curls that seem to be nice to touch.I shook my head and scolded myself for thinking so freely. I felt my cheeks heat up."Hey, are you alright?"I almost jumped when I heard Ali's voice behind me. "Y-yeah." I averted my eyes from him because he might read what I was thinking and what else he might think of me."What are you doing?""I-I'm going to cook
CHAPTER 47—At The BotiqueRain's Point of ViewWHEN I FINISHED eating, I said goodbye to the companions who were going up to the room first. I suddenly felt really bad because of what Ali said and even though I wasn't sure what my boyfriend meant, my mind suddenly felt pressure."Rain," Ali called me.I forced myself to smile. "Y-yes?""What's wrong? You were okay earlier, huh?" he asked and held me by the arm where I had splashes of oil. "Does this make you feel bad?"I shook my head and withdrew my arm from Ali's grip. "I'm fine. Don't worry. I'm probably just sleepy.""I'll take you to your room." He held me by the waist. I just let him go and didn't argue. I know that I will not win my boyfriend either.When I entered the room, I was not surprised when he was also in my room. Ali approached the windows to ensure security. He faced me."Are you going to sleep?" he asked and I nodded. He came closer and kissed me on the forehead. He hugged me afterwards. "When you need me, call me.
