Waiting

Ch: 24- All I want is All of You

The city daily is writing all about the new business alliance that is forming between the new money Benic and the rich Royals Armors. The news came to Amore during noon time. She was scrolling news updates after finishing a round just before the lunch break and her heart sunk. Rayee told her nothing about anything that's going on with her life recently and they just talked about random things. The conversations were cozy enough to prevent her from realizing that anything was wrong.

"I thought we were close enough to share anything with each other....."

Amore couldn't think anymore. What is this she is feeling at her heart? Despair? She doesn't know. She doesn't want to think about it.

"She must have been hesitating. I told her to wait that I'll for her...."

She went to grab lunch but ended up choking up on her food twice cause she was distracted. She left lunch and went back to her room.

It was not easy for her to digest the news and Rayee's silence on this topic. When she reached home in the evening after her shift, she felt extra tired. She freshened up, switched off her phone, and went to sleep. She just doesn't want to think anymore.

Rayee tried to reach Amore several times but she failed. She knows something is off but she just cannot put her finger on it. Parents helped later on though.

Mrs. Armor: Let's go shopping. You need to buy stuff.

Rayee: Why? I would have known if I needed something.

Mrs. Armor: Oh child! That's what Maa is for. You have an interview in 3 days. We need to prepare.

Rayee: What!!?? Why?!

Mrs. Armor: So....don't get mad. My tongue must have slipped and I bragged about your marriage proposal to my editor friend. She thinks it would make a good story regarding our business allegiance as well that's why she is working on your story right now.

Rayee: What do you mean?! What did she do?

Mrs. Armor: Nothing much just gave some hint on the paper. You can clarify everything through your interview.

Rayee: Mom! I didn't give anyone permission to make my private life public. Everything is happening so fast and after everything I have been through, it is obvious that I need time which no one seems to understand. At least, you could show some sensitivity. I am human, I can only take so much.

Mrs. Armor: Oh baby, I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just your bonding is so good with Kensus that I hoped you are finally getting what you deserve. I am sorry. I will talk to my friend about the cancellation.

Rayee: And hang everything in the middle? Why is everything like this with me!?

Rayee's mother can feel her frustration finally.

Mrs. Armor: Baby, don't worry. You have to do nothing you don't want.

Rayee went for Amore's immediately. She was hoping and praying that Amore didn't see the news. The calling bell was calling out for someone to open the door but nobody responded. After a long time, a very disheveled Amore got to meet a very persistent Rayee.

Amore: What do you want?

Rayee: You.

Amore: Go away. I am sleeping.

Rayee: I want to talk.

Amore: It is my OFF DAY Rayee. MY DAY. On this day I get to sleep and do whatever I WANNA DO. So, leave me alone.
