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 57—Can't Help but to Feel itRain's Point of ViewWHEN WE arrived at the university, the driver only dropped me at the gate. "I'll just be here, Manny. Thank you." I entered the school because it was only a few minutes before eight o'clock."Rain is here," said Sol who called me earlier. Our other companions approached. I gave them my paper and Sol arranged it. "Sit here first. I will bring it to Ma'am Celis' faculty."That's what our classmates did. I'm not familiar with all my classmates because I'm not a friendly person. I was just in a corner with all my attention on my cell phone and looking at my social media. I almost fainted when suddenly someone grabbed my cell phone and when I saw that it was Von, I almost chased after it with a slap of my hand."Hey, just kidding!" he said, panting. We were both holding our breath so we both just laughed."You're crazy, Von. I thought who was going to take my phone," I said as I calmed myself down."Why? Is there a scandal on your p
CHAPTER 58— AmbushRain's Point of ViewThe annoyance I felt for Ali still didn't go away until we got home. We rode in his car while Von rode in Manny's car. We didn't miss a beat while we were on the road.My attention was outside the window and I really did my best not to look back at Ali. My arms are crossed and even though my neck is hanging, I still don't take my eyes off the outside.I feel Ali's glance at me."Are you hungry?" he asked but I still didn't look at him. I didn't answer anything either. "Rain, what's wrong?"I still stayed in that position and just let him. I just turned to the front when I noticed that he had turned the car to the side and turned off the engine. I just looked at him and I have to admit, my neck hurt but I didn't let him know the pain."Why did you stop?""Let's talk."I frowned and gave him a sharp look. "Come on. I want to go home.""Rain, I said, let's talk.""What are we talking about? Do we have a problem? No and nothing?" I couldn't hold bac
CHAPTER 59—HostageRain's Point of ViewMy head and whole body hurt when I woke up. It was dark all around and the smell of the place where I was now was not familiar. I tried to look around the room but I couldn't really see anything. It took a while before my eyes got used to the darkness that enveloped the room. My mouth is still gagged.I just winced when I felt the pain on my wrist and only now did I realize that my hands were tied and when I felt my foot, it was also tied tightly. The floor where I sit is cold. It's also cold, that's why I'm crying because of what happened to me today.Tears welled up in my eyes as I remembered what happened before I passed out earlier.I could clearly see how Ali was about to run away from me but a loud gunshot made me bend down. When I raised my head, I only saw Ali lying on the road with his body bleeding. I didn't do anything until the bad guys in the bonnet dragged me into a black car and put a hood over my head. There was also something in
