Rain's Point of View

I lazily woke up from my 2 hours nap, my sleeping routine is always like this because every night, I cry myself to sleep, thinking and reminiscing our past memories. It's been 10 years since she left me, I heard they've moved in France, while, me, I went on working on my paintings and law school for those years, luckily I became an Attorney. At kung tatanungin niyo kung ano pa gusto ko? I couldn't ask for more. But, there's something that's making me feel incomplete, so i'm wishing I could see her once more.

I shook myself to get out of my train of thoughts and started to fixed myself before another tear fall from my eyes.

I heard my phone buzz and I immediately answered it.

"Yes, Cai?"

"Good Morning, Ate. Please be here in 15."

"Got it. Ayos na ba diyan?"

"Yes, Atty."

"Beri good! Love you, will be there na."

Call ended.

I suddenly felt nervous sa hindi ko malaman na dahilan. I put my make-up on and wore a simple dress.

It took me a few minutes bago makarating sa studio na binili namin ni Cai. I opened the door at bumungad sakin yung mga painting na ginawa ko for the past 10 years, 'di ko alam kung maiiyak ako o ano.

"Ate, nakakaloka ka, bakit naman ganiyan suot mo?"

"Eh bakit ba? Kailangan ba ma-garbo?"

"Oo teh, may mga dadating na investors para bumili ng painting mo, tapos ganiyan itsura mo?"

"Wala na akong maayos na damit. Dadaan muna akong mall."

"Sige, at pakihanap na rin si Daniel, please. Kung saan-saan nagala yung batang yon."

"Sige na, wag ka na ma-stress diyan, Boss Cai." I teased her and she threw a box to me.

"Gago ka!"

She stick out her tongue and I did the same to her before coming out of the studio.

Malapit lang rin yung mall dito kaya hindi na ako mahihirapan na maglakad ng malayo. Ito yung studio na pinili namin kasi gusto ko yung convenient sa lahat and isa pa matao.

I'm starting to look for a dress that I will be wearing, there's someone calling my name pero hindi ako lumilingon dahil baka hindi pala ako yung tinatawag, maging assuming pa ako.

Napalingon ako ng biglang may tumapik sa likod ko.

"Rainelle?"

"Tita Ganda!"

Oh shit.

"Hello Kuya!" I gave him a hug and looked at Athena. "Baby girl, hindi ka na 'baby', dalaga ka na! How are the both of you?"

"We're okay naman, Rainelle. How about you? What brings you here?" Kuya asked me.

If I can only tell them what my purpose why I was here in France.

"Uhmm... I have paper works to do lang po." I lied. Fuck. Why did I lie?

"That's good! You looked prettier, Rainelle."

"I agree with that! I bet, Tita Mommy will—"

Her dad cuts her off, and say good bye to us. Because he has an important errand to do.
