CHAPTER 93—Her Thoughts Rain's Point of View"WHAT are you doing, Ali? I might even stumble because you covered my eyes,” I said. I'm nervous but the excitement is more. When I woke up earlier, he was already in my room. It seems he is really waiting for me to wake up. He immediately handed me a handkerchief and put it on my eyes."Just keep walking. I will not leave you." He squeezed my shoulder a little more.Since there was nothing I could do and I was too excited, I just let it go. We walked slowly towards nowhere. I couldn't really see anything because of the handkerchief blocking my eyes.I almost fell several times but Ali supported me. When we stopped walking, my heart beat doubled."Are you ready?" Ali asked me.I took a deep breath before nodding. "Yes. Ali, what is it? I'm so nervous.""Okay. I'll remove it."I waited for the handkerchief to loosen from my eyes. Later, it was removed but I was dazzled by the light so I closed my eyes again.I heard Ali laugh softly. "Are y
CHAPTER 94—A Piece of PaperRain's Point of ViewWE are all busy preparing for mommy's upcoming birthday. We all had a meeting about how it would happen. What theme, where and what else should be arranged."What if we just make it simple but elegant?" asked Aunt Matilde. Our suggestions are different but all of them are good ideas."It can be." Daddy spoke. He looked at mommy who was just smiling while looking at the magazine. Because she chooses a gown to wear at the party itself. "Honey, have you chosen your gown yet?""Honey, all of this is beautiful. But I can't wear it properly. I can't stand," said mom, even though she was smiling, we could see the sadness in her eyes. She brought attention back to the magazine.Dad and I looked at each other and I also read the sadness in his eyes. I also can't help but feel sad because when I see my parents hurt like this, it really affects me.I felt Ali's hand holding mine. When I looked at him, he gave me a smile. I just nodded to him softl
CHAPTER 95—Who's that Girl?Rain's Point of ViewIn the days that passed I continued to be busy because I was the busiest in organizing mommy's birthday party. Azariah is my partner but I am the one who organizes the most. There is no problem because I enjoy it."Has Ali come yet?" I asked daddy when I entered his office. I have been calling Ali for a while but he is not answering my call.He said goodbye that he had something important to talk about and I understood that but I informed him earlier that I would accompany him to the bakeshop where I would make a cake. That day, but Ali also has a different way of walking."I guess not yet, Rain. Have you called yet?” dad asked."I have been trying to call him for a while but he is not answering my calls. I don't even know where he went. He just told me that he had a meeting. I'm just not sure who. Who is that, dad?" If it's related to Ali being a secret agent, I'm sure dad knows who and where he's going.Dad thought for a moment. Later
CHAPTER 96—JelousyRaffi's Point of ViewI was quiet during the flight. Maybe Ali sensed and noticed that I was not in the mood, that's why he kept quiet and didn't ask questions. Even if he asks me, I have no intention of answering. My attention remained outside.I'm still upset because of what he did. Did he really forget that we had an appointment and he was the one who promised to go with me but why did he seem to forget that? It seems that he was very busy while he was with the woman in his car earlier.I secretly squinted while all my eyes were outside the window. My forehead is furrowed and my eyebrows meet. I let out a deep breath twice.When we got to the bakeshop where mommy's birthday cake was going to be made, we were still speechless. As long as Ali followed and watched over me. He supports me but I don't talk to him. There are times when he asks me but my answer is as cold as ice.I'm so annoyed with him. I was annoyed because I really felt that he ignored me and put me
CHAPTER 97—Elise SeuRain's Point of View"Looks like you and Ali are not okay, ah?" Azariah asked me when he entered my room. He and Von had just arrived and brought food. I was in the living area and Ali was in the hallway walking towards dad's office. Azariah invited us to have a snack with them but I didn't say a word and I just continued walking towards the stairs.Azariah followed me and I could feel his presence so I didn't lock the door. I am right and I will follow him.I put my sling bag on top of the bed. I looked at my cousin who sat on the side of my bed while I went straight to the bathroom to wash my hands."How did you say we're not okay?" I will ask. My face has no emotion, especially my eyes. As in even my eyes, no emotion can be read."Like yourself now, Rain. You are cold even to me."I seem to have come to my senses. I took a deep breath and tried to smile at my cousin. "I'm sorry. It's just that I can't help but be bored."Azariah crossed his arms across his ches
CHAPTER 98—Hunch FeelsRain's Point of ViewI can say that Ali's kiss was strange. Even though I felt the way he kissed my lips was violent, the respect for me was still there. At first I was surprised but eventually responded. When I answered, Ali stopped. I was annoyed so I looked away from him."Leave now, Ali. Be there with your guest first—”“Rain, are you jealous?” Ali asked.That's when I met his gaze. "And why should I be jealous? I have nothing to be jealous of, right?”"Yes." He answered directly."See? Nothing, so why are you asking me if I'm jealous?""Then, why are you acting like that?""Like what, Ali?"He didn't answer. The way he looks at me, it's like he's looking for an answer in my eyes. Later Ali shook his head. "Never mind.""Leave now. I want to rest.""Rain, are you mad at me because I was late?""Should I be angry or not?" I asked him again."Can you answer when I ask you and don't throw questions at me too, Rain? I'm seriously asking because I don't know the
CHAPTER 99—His Priority Rain's Point of ViewWhen I woke up the next day I still felt the same way. I was not in the mood and seemed too lazy to get up from lying on the soft bed. Even though I was dazzled by the light from the sunlight coming in through the small opening of the window.I rubbed my eyes first and slightly stretched my body while lying down before getting up. My long hair is messy and I haven't brushed it yet. I stood up and walked towards the bathroom. I thought I was going to fall, but luckily I made it to the bathroom safely.I stayed inside for a few minutes and when it was over, I went out. I chose clothes to wear then went back to the bathroom to take a shower. I don't have any plans today. I don't have a schedule of classes and I don't have an appointment either. My only plan this morning is to go to the gym to work out. If Ali and I are okay now, I will invite him to the gym so that we can both exercise, but don't do it for now.We haven't talked and to this d
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
