Ayesha Point of View
Reminiscing the past doesn't hurt me anymore. I didn't feel any pain or anguish every time my mind went back from the past especially when it was raining. What I feel just now was simply joyful. Unlike before that when it rains I was crying and isolating myself. I remembered Renz when it was raining and how painful are the memories he brought. I thought of it all along with my past but it was in the past. So, I can conclude that I finally accept the truth and I made myself move forward though my memories are still there, I'm still thankful for it. I wonder if how is he. The last time I checked he was already a police officer. If I was living in the dark right now, I may wish him the worst but things changed, I will be happy if he will become successful.
I sighed and cleared my thoughts as rain washes all it's a burden.
I looked outside. It was still raining but not like these past two days. Only soft rain and the surrounding was so calm. Sad to say that classes in all levels both private and public schools are still suspended. Today is Friday so it was expected that on Monday is the resume of classes.
"Let's eat," Ron called me for breakfast. I went near to the dining table and everything was all set. "3 in 1 coffee or brewed coffee?"
"I'll do that," she put in front of the cup, the coffee and hot water. I mixed the 3 in 1 coffee and Bear Brand milk. Then, we ate breakfast.
Since we both don't have to go to work, we cleaned our unit thoroughly not minding the rain outside.
We played board games, card games until we get tired.
"Your phone," Ron gave it to me when I asked her if she saw my phone. It happens that I drop near her pillow. "Your phone lit up."
It's Vener and answering back to my message earlier.
To: Mr Costello
So, how's the weather there?
From: Mr Costello
It's still gloomy. By the way, you want sweet white corn?
To: Mr Costello
Yeah, I'd love to. But don't tell me that there's already a corn plant in this season?
From: Mr Costello
Kidding! They all eat it.
Then he sent a picture of sweet white corn that made my stomach made a sound. I'm craving.
To: Mr Costello
How bad!
I went out of our room and Ron came to my view eating on the couch while watching Korean dramas. I got a bowl and spoon in the kitchen first and get food. It's fruit salad.
"What's up?" Ron asked me and I answered her I'm okay. "Tell me honestly, what's the real score between you and Ven?"
"Ven?" he nodded. "Where do you get that nickname of him?"
"Hello to Earth miss Ayesha! His name is Vener. So Vener, Ven, Vener, Ven. That's simple," she sighed and rolled her eyes like she used to do.
"For your information, there's nothing between us," I said directly because it's the truth.
"Fine. Is he courting you?" she asked me and my answer is no. "But you're hoping?"
I raised my eyebrows. "Why would I?"
"Don't be defensive. You're too obvious, you know. Don't me. And besides, you are single and he's single, so why not?" I frowned at her statement.
"How did you know Ron that he's single?" I asked curiously.
"You forgot what my legendary name was way back in high school. They call me Miss Stalker. When I say he's a single, legit sister," yeah, it is. Ron was also the one who told me that Renz was a total jerk, an asshole to the moon and back. Of course, I got mad at her but after giving me a picture as evidence, my anger subsided. "So, let's say he's going to court you, does he have a chance?"
I heaved a sigh. "You and your advance thoughts, that might kill you. If that scenario popped in your mind, I can't think any of it? Why can't you focused on what we are watching?"
She mumbled but I didn't bother myself to answer back. It might lead to anything that may confuse my straight mind.
When Ron mentioned courting, I do not know why her words made me smile inside hoping that it was true yet at the back of my mind telling me that there's no chance at all. One more thing, I don't know if I have feelings towards Vener or I was just blinded by the idea that I need to go with the flow without feelings involve. Maybe this was my reason why I can't answer directly Ron's question to her assume courtship or maybe, my reason was more than that.
But if we come to deduced Vener's action, it leads to two assumptions. It is either he was just like that, his personality or he has feelings for me. I have the chance to assume all I want but that at the end of the day, the only I need is to assume not to expect more than what I wish for.
I came back to reality when Ron asked me to see who's knocking on the door. I refused so she has no choice but to go herself see it. I don't mind who's the person was but when I heard a familiar voice feels like all my blood went up to my face and it heated. What kind of timing is that when earlier we just talked about him and suddenly he appeared in front of our door? I felt embarrassed by our thoughts. I wanted now to disappear. I looked away and glance at how I dressed up. It's good that I looked not trash. I went near them as I calmed myself. "Hi, what brings you here? Come inside."
"Is it okay?" he looked hesitant. I smiled to assure him that it's okay. "I have here a sweet white corn."
I looked at him in disbelief. Ron even glared at me like a hook asking what's the matter and why did he bring sweet white corn. "All I thought, you're kidding and you went home, right?"
"I was kidding when I message you that they eat all of it at home," he flashed his smile and I can't help myself but smile. His smile was contagious.
