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.
CHAPTER 48—Kean & AlionaRain's Point of ViewIT CAME TO SIX P.M. We had just arrived from shopping. Aliona and Azariah immediately left Ali and I to dress for dinner. Von also broke up with us earlier at the mall and said that he would be next to our house.I furrowed my brow as I looked at our garden, which was mostly made up of tables and chairs. I thought we were the only ones having dinner but why does it seem like a big party will happen later?I felt an arm lightly reach me from behind. When I looked back, I immediately smiled when I saw that it was my boyfriend, Ali, who was also looking at what I was looking at earlier."How many guests are mommy and daddy expecting and it looks like someone is getting married here?" I asked while just waking up around.Ali shrugged his shoulders then took my hand. "I have no idea, but it looks like a lot, doesn't it?I nodded. Even the security is tighter and I see more and more guards wearing blue uniforms walking around the house. I looked
CHAPTER 49—The ProposalRain's Point of ViewI WAS ASHAMED not to give it time so I went with Jade. We left the two who immediately talked but I never heard of it again."Ah, Rain," Jade began but her eyes were already on Gianna. She looked at me after a while. "How are you? I heard about what happened to you at the restaurant.""I'm fine, Jade. I'm still a little shocked by what happened, but dad is already working on a way to catch the person behind that incident.""It's good. Gianna and I know you're having a hard time adjusting to what's going on, but just take it easy. Don't worry. They're doing everything to protect you." She slightly squeezed my hand.I can really feel her concern for me. "Thank you, Jade. I knew that." I smiled at her."Good. That's right."I looked around to look for Ali but I couldn't see him."Jade, I'll just look for Ali.""Sure!"I turned my back on her. The guests have my attention now that's why I wonder. I smile at them even though I'm starting to feel
CHAPTER 50—ReasonsRain's Point of ViewWE HAD JUST finished eating when my cell phone rang. I excitedly picked it up thinking it might be Ali but I was stunned when I saw the caller's name was Von.Mommy frowned when she noticed that I wasn't answering that."Why, Rain? Who is that?" she asked. She accompanied me to eat so I wouldn't be sad."It's Von.""That new acquaintance of yours who is your schoolmate?"I nodded. "Yes, mom.""He was also here the night Ali proposed to you, wasn't he?""Yes." I looked at the cell phone that still hasn't stopped ringing. "Just excuse me, mommy. I'll just answer this." My mommy nodded so I answered the call. "Hello?""Rain! How are you? It's good that you answered my call. I've been worried about you since last night."I took a deep breath before answering him. "I-I'm fine. Don't worry.""Are you sure? When you want someone to talk to, I'm right here, huh?" he said with a hint in his voice that he was really concerned about me.I smiled somehow. "
CHAPTER 51Rain's Point of ViewWHEN I woke up the next day, I was even more surprised to see two maids already arranging the food in one part of my room. I frowned because I could already smell our breakfast which made me hungry."Good morning, Miss Rain," a maid greeted me."Good morning. Why is there something like that?" I even taught them what they were doing.The two maids smiled while looking at me. "Sir Ali prepared it for you.""For me?" I thought because there was nothing like this in our conversation. "But…"The maids and I turned around when Ali entered the door. He immediately smiled at me then came to the side of the bed. He kissed me on the forehead then sat next to me. "Good morning. It's good and you're awake. It's just the right time that I sent breakfast here.""What is it for?""Nothing. I just want to eat with you this morning.""Hmm… Did you do something wrong?"His eyes widened. "Nothing. Get up there. I'll eat breakfast with you."I didn't even speak up to prot
CHAPTER 52—Who is she?Rain's Point of ViewI just gasped when we got to Ali's amusement park. I really did not expect to be taken to this place. No one else knows that I love going to this place because when I went to the amusement park, I was young and mom could still walk well."Are you happy?" Ali asked why I turned to him."Yes but how did you know that I like it here?"He smiled at me. "One of the things your abuela bought me was to take you to the amusement park."I was stunned and sadness immediately enveloped my chest. "Is that true?""Yes." He let out a deep breath."Do you know that he bought a lot from me before he disappeared?"I just looked at him while listening to what he was saying. My heart is filled with sadness. I miss my abuela and even if I try to stop it, the tears really come to my side. I avoided looking at Ali and simply wiped my eyes."Once, he also told me to take you to South Korea, Canada and even Japan."I laughed. "Why?""So that you can visit beautiful
CHAPTER 53—Her Mom's VisitorRain's POV I smiled when I saw Ali naked while fixing mommy's plants in the garden.I remember the first time we both met the night my abuela passed out. I swallowed and felt my face turn red when I saw Ali's sexy and beautiful body shape. His abs are almost shiny because of the sweat that is hit by the sun's rays.I was about to drop the tray when I was startled by the call of mommy who was already looking at me. She was sitting in a wheelchair while setting up the table where I should place the carrying tray."Rain, I've been calling you for a while but you're not paying attention to me. Are you okay?" she asked, looking at me.I turned for a moment to Ali who seemed to not be able to hear or see us as mother and daughter. I look back here. "Y-yes, mommy." I went even closer to place the tray on the bottom of the table. I also fixed myself.It was my mommy who removed the plates and glasses from the tray and moved them to the table. "I was wondering how
CHAPTER 54—Same BirthdaysRain's Point of ViewI did NOT know what to do when I saw Von approaching us. He had a wide smile on his lips as he approached me and mom. Mommy waved at this so my friend's smile grew wider."Hi, Von! It's good that you accepted my invitation to come here for lunch," said my mommy. "Sit down." He pointed to an empty chair on the other side and I was on the other side. Mind you, it's between me and Von and Ali and I are almost next to each other."Can I refuse you? Then I know that your cooking is delicious, auntie.""It's you. How are you? I don't think you've been back here since you went for a walk." My mommy has a touch of sullenness."I was busy preparing my papers so I didn't understand anything.""You're a transferee, aren't you?""Yes, auntie.""Is there anything else you need our help with? Just tell me, okay?"Von smiled sweetly. "Oh, it's okay. It's embarrassing." It looked at me. "How are you?""I-I'm fine.""Really? It's fine. I'm sorry if I didn
