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
CHAPTER 55— Quality TimeRain's Point of ViewVON NEVER stayed at our house for long. He said goodbye right away that there will be more to do regarding his school papers, so my mommy agreed. I was looking for Ali because he didn't come back to the garden earlier. I found him inside the library with my daddy talking about something. I knocked there first to get their attention."Yes, Rain?" asked my daddy sitting on the swivel chair. Ali was sitting on a chair in front of the table.I slowly entered and exchanged glances with the two. "Ahm, I was going to say goodbye to you, daddy.""Are you leaving?" Ali asked me. His forehead is no longer wrinkled and his eyebrows no longer meet while looking at me. He still held my hand.“No. I can't walk now.""What would you say then, Rain?" my father asked.I turned to Ali who was also obviously interested in what I had to say. I removed the blockage from my throat. "Ahm, I just wanted to borrow Ali from you, daddy, but if you have something imp
CHAPTER 56—JealousyRain's Point of ViewI wasn't even surprised when Ali chatted with me.Ali: Why are you still awake?Rain: I can't sleep, that's why I just uploaded our pictures.Ali: I saw it. Our pictures are beautiful.I smiled but that's how surprised I was when I saw that his profile picture had changed. When I visited Ali's account, I automatically smiled and bit my lower lip because of the overwhelming joy I felt. It was a picture of the two of us while we were on top of the Wheel of Fate. I smile beautifully while Ali stares at me.It seems like little butterflies want to escape from my stomach. I adjusted my seat and it had a heart reaction.Ali: Is my profile picture okay?Rain: Sure. That's sweet, huh!I thought that our profile pictures should also be changed to be a couple, so I bought a nice picture. I chose the Flying Fiesta picture with Ali on my shoulder. In less than a minute, Ali's heart immediately reacted to that. After that was his chat that almost made me me
CHAPTER 108—Who's Behind It?Rain's Point of ViewWhile Von and Azariah were grilling and Ali was playing guitar. We both sing and I can truly say that Ali's voice is beautiful. I was embarrassed because my voice wasn't that good, but he tried to make me sing."You have a beautiful voice, Rain. Who said you don't have a good voice?" asked Azariah. It seems that he has been hearing me say that my voice is not good.I didn't answer right away. I honestly don't remember who told me when I was young that my voice was not beautiful. They said it's better if I just dance because my body is a bit soft."I don't remember who Uncle Eliseo told me or who he was talking to at that time. I was still young when they told me that. Then those who heard laughed." I don't want to say these things anymore because it's been a long time. I'm still young."Ah, so it's Uncle. Maybe he didn't want you anymore that's why he said that.""Maybe he's just joking," I said.Azariah stopped turning the squids that
CHAPTER 107—Ali's Way of FightingRain's Point of ViewI was almost surprised when I felt Ali's arm wrap around my waist and I turned to him. There was a tinge of concern on his face as he looked at me. I frowned. "What's the problem?" I will ask."You are the one I asked. What's the problem? Why do you look like that?” Ali even held my cheek and squeezed it a little. "You look like you just got back from crying. Did you cry?" he asked me.I smiled at him, still seeing the white teeth. "Yes, I am really fine. Don't worry about me." I took his hand from his grip on me."Why is that red and it looks like you just got back from crying?""Nothing. Believe me. Azariah and I just talked and my heart was touched by him. That's because my cousin is so smart. I have nothing more to say to him.”Ali nodded slowly. "You're right there. What Aliona and Apollo's attitude was bad, Azariah was kind. And another thing is that I can see how much he loves Von.""They're both sweet too, aren't they?" I
CHAPTER 106—Thankful and GratefulRain's Point of ViewWe were very happy with the sea water while we were on the boat. There was a steward who maneuvered the boat so that we could sail smoothly in the ocean.Ali was next to me as I leaned on him slightly. He holds my hands. It should be so peaceful. Fortunately, the boat we were on had a roof so we were not directly exposed to the sun."Are you okay?" Ali asked me.I didn't answer right away. I've been bothered by things for a while now but I don't want to ask Ali. Do I feel that he will get annoyed with me if I keep asking him questions? All the things that happen to us make me question why it happens.I sighed before trying to smile at him. "I'm fine. Nothing will happen if I'm not going to be okay, right?”Ali squeezed my hand. "That's right. Whatever you're thinking, put your worries away because I won't leave you. You and your family."I looked him in the eyes. "I know that. I also know that you will do everything just to make s
CHAPTER 105—ExcitementRain's Point of View"So, Daddy said we can't leave the rest house for now. It's like we're locked down, right?" I asked as I held Ali's arm. We walk on the beach watching the sunrise.Azariah and Von were with us earlier but they said goodbye to go to the gym so Ali and I continued walking. From a distance we could see the guards watching over us."Yes. That's how it is. Such an idea is boring and annoying, but we need it to ensure that you and your entire family are safe."I leaned my head on Ali's shoulder. "I understand. Thank you, Ali?”"For what?""For taking care of me and my family.""You are always welcome. I will do everything to ensure your safety." I felt him kiss my forehead so I closed my eyes.It feels so good to be cared for and protected by the person I love. I can't ask for anything else because I feel his love for me.“Would you like us to have breakfast? The cook at the rest house must have cooked." Earlier, before we left, I talked to our co
CHAPTER 104—He's Back!Rain's Point of View"Have you talked to Ali again?" I asked while we were in the middle of dinner. To be honest, we all had almost no appetite to eat. The food on the plates doesn't move because they seem to be touching each other."Not yet. Von said the last time we talked earlier that their phones were low on battery. They will go out to buy a charger,” answered Azariah."Do you think, Dad, can they come here to the rest house?" I asked while my attention was on daddy. Even my companions are also looking here.Before dad bowed and he bowed and took a deep breath. He looked at me. "It is possible, Rain, but they themselves said that they will not come here. Because they need to be sure that no one can follow them. Ali and Von just want us to be on the list, especially you and Azariah.” Dad exchanged glances with my cousin and me.I felt Azariah grab me with a free hand that wasn't holding the cutlery."Your daddy is right, Rain," said mom. He gave me a smile t
CHAPTER 103—FearRain's Point of ViewI was so nervous to do what Elise and I had planned. Azarian also helped us and Von knew the plan. Von was our helper to somehow keep Ali away and not notice what we were planning to do. I took a deep breath. I took a shower and put on light makeup. I dried my hair with a hair blower and just put a gold hair clip on it.I was in front of the mirror trying to study the smile. No matter what I do, I smile and the nervous feeling is still on my face. A part of my heart is also afraid that the plans might come to nothing. Maybe Ali is mad at me and won't accept my apology.When I found out about Elise's true personality, I felt very guilty. I feel like I have a very bad girlfriend. The type that I don't trust the most loved one who did nothing but ensure my safety. My heart sank again because I felt sorry for Ali. I even asked myself if it was worth it for Ali to love me even though I hurt him because I was jealous.Elise says that my feelings are val
CHAPTER 102—Elise's PlanRain's Point of ViewAs dad said, we will tie up at the rest house first. Our other relatives didn't know that, even Aunty Merceditas. Azariah just got why I can say that that house is really secret. As far as I can remember, I have only been there twice.That rest house is nice. It's on the side of the beach and it's quiet. There aren't many houses around us so it's like that. Also far from civilization. When we got out of the car, I was so amazed.I rode in dad and mom's car while Von, Azariah and Elise rode in Ali's car. Earlier Dad forced me to ride there but I refused. I really don't want to see or be with Ali. We didn't break up but I think that's the way it is.Am I hurt? Of course. Just last night I cried and cried and fell asleep doing that. When I woke up earlier, my eyes were very swollen. I wanted to laugh because we didn't break up but I cried. It's my fault because I'm stubborn. I don't listen to Ali's reasons but it's not because I can invalida
CHAPTER 101—SpaceRain's Point of ViewBecause my ankle was swollen due to a pinched nerve, I really had to be given first aid. I just cried when the doctor tried to move my leg. Maybe it took pity on me, it just let me rest and calm down. Fortunately, Azariah doesn't let go of me and I cry to him. My leg was bandaged and then I was helped to position myself on top of the bed.Dad got a private room and there was a security guard assigned outside the door. The security is very tight to prevent what happened earlier in our house.Because the doctor gave me medicine, I fell asleep. It's a good thing because somehow I didn't feel the pain in my foot. It is elevated so that it cannot be moved. When I woke up I had a faint voice that was heard in the room where I was. When I opened my eyes, I immediately saw Ali talking to Von and Azariah. Elise was also there and sitting. Ali and Elise are not next to each other but I'm annoyed. I got annoyed.I moved and tried to get up but my leg hurt c
CHAPTER 100—Loud Gunshots Rain's Point of ViewSince I wasn't in the mood earlier after working out, I didn't feel like eating breakfast either. I didn't go with my parents because Ali, Elise, Von and Azariah were with them. Mom just sent food to my room but I didn't touch it. It's just on the table and I have no intention of eating. I only drank the milk and I'm fine with that.I just left my room bored. First, I will air in the garden where it is windy at this time. I brought my phone as well as the book I was reading so I could do something there.I have made up my mind that if Ali ever approaches me to talk to me, I will still not talk to him and ignore him. To be honest, I miss my boyfriend a lot but every time I think about Elise being with him now, I feel like I'm wondering if he still loves me.Maybe I'm being dramatic but that's what I wanted to ask him. Even though Ali says that he hasn't changed and I'm still his priority, I don't see that.When I got to the garden I sat d
