CHAPTER 71—Proposal Again

Rain's Point of View

WHEN we all finished eating, I said goodbye to Ali who was just going to the powder room. At first he didn't want me to agree to go out alone but I said that I would only be there for a moment. He agreed when my daddy nodded. I looked at my father meaningfully before going out.

When I got out, I quickly went to the powder room to fix myself. I took several deep breaths in front of the mirror. I practiced what to say better later but I was just more nervous.

I was leaving the powder room when I suddenly ran into Azariah. It has a smile on its face. "You're nervous, aren't you?" it asked me.

"Too much. My hands are so cold, oh. Is that your ring?" I will ask. I just realized that this is where I bought the ring earlier because Ali might see if it stays with me while we were walking together earlier.

He took something from his bag and took out a small red box. "Here. Come back later. Don't be nervous. You can do it!"

I smiled here. "Yes. I c

    CHAPTER 72—The MastermindRain's Point of View"WHAT are you thinking?" Ali asked as he leaned on the pavement that served as a bench in the veranda. He looked at me with surprise in his eyes.I bow down. "Nothing," I answered. I tried not to show him that I was overthinking again."Rain," he said, then straightened up facing me. "Even if you don't admit it, I know you're thinking about it again. Didn't your daddy and I already tell you not to think about it. You'll just get stressed."I met Ali's gaze. I gave him a cheeky smile. "I tried again, Ali's case is hard. I don't know if I'm really safe. Yes, our life has been quiet for a few weeks but what if—"I couldn't finish what I was going to say when I felt Ali's warm hand grip my cold palms. "Rain, I understand. Even though we are thinking too much, just let us think and take steps. Trust us, me, okay?" He looked at me and gave me a smile that seemed to say that everything would be fine.I nodded and let out a violent breath. "I tru

    CHAPTER 73—GuiltAzariah's Point of ViewALIONA and I's eyes widened and a lot of fear arose when we saw that Rain was unconscious while she was being carried by a guard. "W-what's wrong with her?" I asked a gurad who seemed to be talking to someone on his walky-talkie."Miss Rain came from your room, but when she got back inside the room, she suddenly screamed. When we went inside, she was unconscious."It seemed like cold water poured over my entire body while Aliona and I looked at each other with worried faces. She held me by the hands."Did she hear us?" Aliona asked me and I just held my head. I felt my neck thicken and my senses hurt. If it came from our room, it's not impossible that Rain heard us.We followed the guards carrying Rain and we were just on the stairs when Ali greeted us."What happened?" he asked. His eyebrows met while carefully taking Rain from the guards and he lifted her down.We saw Rain's parents who were also worried about their daughter. I just burst int

    CHAPTER 74—Not Her FaultRain's Point of ViewI WAKE UP that I was inside a private room. Just by smelling it, I knew my suspicions were right. I am in a hospital room. I winced when I felt a pain in the back of my head. When I touched it, I was also stunned when I felt the lump.I thought carefully about what exactly happened to me and why I had a lump. I closed my eyes and when I remembered the conversation between Aliona and Azariah that caused my headache, I opened my eyes just as the door opened and the cousins entered. Aliona went first and Azariah closed the door.The two were stunned when they saw that I was awake and looking at them. Involuntarily I pulled back from sitting on the bed. I don't know why but fear crept into my heart. Especially when Azariah and I met our eyes."You're already awake," said Aliona who immediately turned to Azariah when she saw that my gaze was there and not here. She looked back at me. "Are you okay? What's wrong with you?" She came near me and w

    CHAPTER 75—Is She Willing to Testify?Azariah's Point of View"ARE YOU sure of that, Ali?" Rain's Daddy frowned as he and Ali talked. I didn't want to listen to the conversation between the two. I'll just call them because Rain wants to talk to them."Because the night when we saved Rain, I saw small jars on the table where there were dishes and spoons," Ali's face showed concern. "I don't even want to think about it, sir, but wasn't Rain's food poisoned when she was with the kidnappers?"Rain's daddy didn't move and seemed to think for a moment. He looked at Ali. "Have you talked to the kidnappers?""I came from there earlier, but they didn't want to talk. I ordered one of our people to go to where Rain was taken to get the empty jar I was talking about."The interlocutor nodded. "Very good. Let's just pray that those men didn't do anything to my daughter because if not, I'll make sure they rot in jail.""Sir, how is Merceditas?"My heart skipped a beat because of Ali's question. Eve

There is still a trace of worry on mommy's face as she holds my hands.We are in the living room now and we just came from the hospital. My boyfriend Ali was also there as well as cousins Aliona and Azariah. I was sitting on the sofa while she was in a wheelchair. Daddy was behind her, just listening to mommy and I's conversation.I nodded. "Yes, mom." I looked at dad. "Daddy won't let me go home if he knows I'm not okay.""In that case, you can rest after we eat lunch. I cooked your favorite dish, crabmeat."I smiled. "Wow! Thank you, mommy!" I hugged mommy with great joy. I turned to my cousins. "Come on! The dish is delicious!""Alright, we'll just follow," said Aliona.I smiled and my eyes landed on Azariah. "You too, right?"She nodded. "Yes." She gave me a sweet smile.I stood up and held Ali's arm while my daddy pushed the wheelchair that mom was sitting on. We followed them into the ki

    CHAPTER 77—Unexpected VisitorRain's Point of ViewAFTER we ate, we went to the living room to drink tea and coffee. We still happily continued talking. Ali and I sat next to each other on the sofa and so did Azariah and Von. Aliona, on the other hand, said goodbye that she would take a bath for a while because she was starting to itch because she was allergic to crab. She was stubborn so she didn't immediately tell us that she would feel something like that when she ate. She immediately took allergy medicine.Von was in the middle of telling a story when suddenly a guard entered our house and went straight to daddy. I frowned when my father suddenly stood up and went to the door.Ali and I also stood up. "Dad?"I felt Ali leave my side. When I looked back at him, he was talking on the phone and it was only a moment before he turned to face me. "Don't go out. Stay here inside." He was about to leave but I grabbed his hand to stop him."Where are you going? What's going on?" I asked, n

    CHAPTER 78—Car CrashedRain's Point of ViewI stood up when I saw that Azariah entered our house with Von. Her eyes are swollen and they are red as well as the nose. The two approached holding hands.My mom opened her arms to welcome my cousin with a hug who immediately started crying."Auntie," she said.My mother kept rubbing her back. I felt pity for my cousin. It seems that she is going through a very difficult time with her own mother."Calm down Azariah. Your mommy is gone. She's gone." My mom even removed the hair blocking Azariah's face. "Maybe you should rest." She turned to Von. "Son, thank you for joining Azariah.""That's okay, mommy. It's my obligation to be there for her when she needs me."My mommy smiled. I felt Ali's hand holding my waist. I looked at him. He gave me a smile and a slight nod."Get some rest, Azariah. We'll talk later," said Daddy. He was fixed when we put our hands in our pockets. He looked at Ali. "Take Rain to her room first. Then you and Von, go to

    CHAPTER 79— No One To BlameRain's Point of ViewI KNOCKED three times on the door of the library where my daddy had his office. I heard no response from inside but I went in anyway.I caught my father drinking this expensive wine. His glass is half full."Dad," I called him but he didn't look back. I came and stopped at the opposite table. I know that he might not be in a good mood because of what happened but I would like to talk to him more. I don't want him to blame himself because we are not to blame for what happened to his sister.He turned to me later and placed the glass he was holding on the table. Daddy stood up and hugged me without saying a word. Even though I was surprised, I retaliated.For a while, I could feel the tremors of his body. "I-I didn't expect everything to come to this, Rain. Yes, I prayed to God that my sister would repent and face the law, but I didn't pray for her to disappear."I was stunned. Does that mean Auntie Merceditas is really gone?It took a wh

    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

  • La Arma's Heir   CHAPTER 103—Fear

    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
