Things have been going pretty great for the couple and soon enough, everyone was aware of their relationship and accepted them although a few persons were skeptical. Raya and Namaari would usually see each other several times each month and make the most of each visit. Now, Raya was going to Fang to visit Namaari. Astra was 5 months old and she was attached to Raya. Whenever Raya left for a long time, she'd begin crying. Before Raya left for Fang, she kissed her forehead and said, "I'll be back in 2 days, starlight."

Astra giggled and Raya smiled and playfully pinched her cheek and then kissed her forehead. 

"I hope you have a wonderful time with Namaari." Said Dalia.

"Thanks mom, I will." She hugged her goodbye and also hugged her Ba goodbye before leaving to Fang.

"You'll be okay soon." Chief Virana was comforting Namaari. She was out on her usual morning runs but sprained her ankle.

"I- I'm okay, mother." said Namaari.

"No you're not...you need at least 3 days of resting before you can go back to any training." replied the Chief.

"Noooo! I'm okay! Besides, I promised some young teens to teach them some skills...And I can walk normally. It's not as bad as you think."

"Walking is one thing but training is another. Just rest, dear. I'll ask General Atitaya or Kerri to take your place." 

Namaari sighed. "Fine, mother..."

As much as she hated resting, she just had to. She fell asleep for a few hours before Chief Virana woke her to inform her that Raya had arrived. Virana expected that her daughter would be thrilled but it was the opposite.

"Raya? But...I can't let her see me like this!"

"What? Why?" asked the Chief, feeling confused.

"She's going to pest me! Mother I can't handle the misery!" 

Virana laughed and said, "Aww too bad mist... Raya does warn you a lot to be careful and not hurt yourself."

"Please don't tell her that I hurt my ankle...Tell her that um...I'm just under the weather with a cold..."

"I'm not lying for you, mist... I'll just tell her that you're not well. But I'm sure that her taunting won't be that bad." replied the Chief.

"Trust me, it will! It's RAYA."

"Very well dear...I'll cover for you."

"Thank you mother."

Virana went out to see Raya and Raya greeted her with a hug. "Welcome darling. I'm sure it was a long, tiring journey. Would you like something cool to drink?"

"Sure, thank you Chief Virana." replied Raya.

The Fang servants immediately went for her luggage and also gave her a refreshing glass of juice. After drinking, she said, "Is Namaari free?"

"Hmm somewhat but you see, she's not so okay right now."

"Really? What happened?" asked Raya.

"Don't worry, it's nothing intense. She just needs to rest."

"I need to see her to make sure she's completely fine!" said Raya, leaving to Namaari's room.

Chief Virana sighed and said, "Oh boy..."

Raya knocked on her door and opened it. When she saw her Fiancée in bed, she gasped and said, "Maari! What happened?"

"Hey dep la, I'm...not so well." Namaari replied.
