Sky and Rain became a little anxious and annoyed. Allan is not responding for two days.

Rain hates the idea. But it's time to ask Allan's friends

And they revealed where to find Allan.

Sky and Rain nod at each other when they find Allan pestering Shalam.

Sky and Rain grabbed Allan both hands.

"Shalam do you mind if we talk to Allan for a while?" Sky asked.

Shalam smiled seeing Rain and Sky.

The best friends took Allan but not far Shalam can hear their conversation

"We were waiting for your response. For two damn days!" Rain said in a mad voice.

"I am sorry. I... Was busy planting." Allan said.

"Did you shift your course?" Rain asked.

"No I am planting love." Allan whispered.

"Target?" Sky asked.

Allan pointed at Shalam.

Sky and Rain looked at each other.
Rain walked to Shalam and sit beside him.

"How are you Shalam." Rain asked.

"Rak really moved out from the dorm and who was left with you?" Rain asked

"Nah. The ps moved me at Allan's." Shalam said.

Rain looked at Shalam.
"Look at me in the eyes Shalam." Rain said.

Shalam refuses.

"I am not against him. He is nice I know. He was just immature back then. But now he grew and changed a lot.
But if he damn hurt you. I'm gonna break his face." Rain said.

"Shalam knows you will Rain thank you." Shalam said softly. Still can't look at Rain in the eyes.

Rain tapped Shalams shoulder.
"Have fun" he said.
Then walked back to Sky and Allan.

"Let him be Sky. Allan we will send you the pictures and details if there are improvements. See you at actual class time." Rain said.

Sky ride with Rain's decision.
"Just comment on your thoughts or call us." Sky added.

"Cultivate your plan well." Rain said and smirked.

Sky and Rain leave them.

"What is with that?" Sky asked.

"Just be glad for Shalam and Allan they are infatuated.
Let them be in love. Besides it will help Allan away from me. The other day he is confused. Now Shalam can help his real feelings." Rain said.

He looked back before riding his car. Allan wipes Shalam's forehead with a handkerchief.
He ride the car then smirk.

"May they grow in love"
Rain mouthed.

"Then send me home na." Sky said.

"What about Phan?" Rain asked

"She found friends who will take care of her ride home when times like this." Sky said.

Rain nods his head.

"Hey wanna watch the race this week end?" Sky asked.

"I can't p' Saifah and P' Auon are busy I am not allowed to go to the circuit race without any of the three." Rain said sulking.

"O yeah I remember. By the way. You think. Shalam Allan will work?" Sky asked

"I am hoping it will...
Just like our SigPie." Rain said.
.
.

"Will it work?" Rak asked his friends.
He is with Sig and Rain. Waiting for the others  for their lunch.

"I think it will if we don't force much on them." Rain said.

Pie is still in shock about what she had just learned about Shalam and Allan.

"And guys please do not tease them. Let them cultivate their love. We can only give advice if they need it " Rak said.

"I agree." Rain approved.

"I can't believe this." Pie said shaking her head slowly.

"What?" Rak asked

Pie looked at Rain.
Finally she moved.
"Do you have any idea that Shalam was into you also Rain?" Pie asked

"Huh?" Rak asked.

"What?" Now it is Sig who is shocked.

"When we were freshman. Shalam confessed that he was adoring Rain. And now Shalam and Allan?" Pie stated.

"Wait? I did not know that about Shalam." Rak said also a bit surprised.

"I knew" Rain said.
His friends looked at him.

"He warned p' Phayu before, that if he breaks my heart Shalam will avenge me. I thought it was just his protective instinct the way he protects Rak. But suddenly when we were at the beach. He asked me. That if p' Phayu and I won't work. Would it be possible for me to date him." Rain revealed.

"OMG!" Rak said.
"I cannot believe my best friend did not tell me about it " he added.

"Came on. We know he is reserved. Even to his best friend. He will only tell it to those who are concerned or people of interest. Or if you ask." Rain said.

"Wait Pie how did you know?" Rak asked.

"Well . It was a game. A truth or dare. We dared him to confess if he had a feeling for someone. Aside from his snakes. He said yes
Then on the next turn. He chose the dare again. So we dared him to drop the name or clue." Pie said.

"Did he said Rain?" SIG asked

"No... He told us to look outside. It was raining that day. Rain?" One of the girls asked. He just smiled and nodded." Pie said.

"Past is the past let's see the present." Rain said.

"So Allan and Shalam?" Sig asked.

"Let's help them." Pie suggested.

"No do not interfere" Rain said.

"Will it work then?" Pie asked.

"If it's genuine then it will work. And they will work it out together." Rak said.

"Heads up speaking of the devil" Sig warned his friends.

All eyes looked where he is looking at.

Allan is coming in a rush.

"Rain I already checked our project, I'm still studying it. But I need all your help specially you Rak." Allan said seriously.

"About?' Rak asked innocently.

"It's Who and it's your best friend." Allan said.

Rain seriously face Allan and moved closer to Rak.
His action is caught by Allan.

"All your help. How can I make Shalam love me." Allan said humbly.

Sig smiled.
Rain smirked.

"He likes plants but not the flowers." Rak said.

"He loves egg rolls. Scrambled eggs. Or even simple fried sunnyside up. But if you want to introduce new dish to him. Make sure you have egg rolls on the side." Sig said.

"Explore his little bubble and understand him. Just that." Rak said.

"Don't forget to be yourself. Do not pretend you like something that he like. If you don't really like it. But try to explore. Because that is who he is." Rak said.

"He is sometimes does not like to get off his comfort zone. But you must first get off your comfort zone for him. And he will do the same. If you don't like it tell it to him. But I urge you try it. At least you've I tried your best." Rak narrated.

Allan smiled.
"Thanks a lot. I learned. His not far different from me." Allan said and quickly stood. Saluted and leave.

"Yeah..... It will work." Rain remarked after being silent for a while.
