I sat down on the sand and fell on my knees and cried.
I felt that someone stood beside me so I looked at Raphael and I saw that he was sympathizing.
"Your mother loves you even though you are not her real child." He said that made me cry.
"I'm not mad, she's still my mother, that's why I still feel bad." I was crying all the time with him, he embraced me and tell me that everything will be alright.
We hugged each other for a while and just looked at the gentle ocean.
"Do you remember who you are? Are you going back to yourselves?" I asked him later so I looked at him.
"Not yet because I want to think of a way to catch that person first." He looked so serious that I nodded and snuggled up to him.
"I just remembered that our family owns this island." I looked at him and looked at him in shock, I couldn't believe it.
"Then you are the owner of Puerto Luna?" I suddenly asked him so he smiled and nodded.
I stood up and looked at the other island and smiled then I can go to that place because Raphael is its owner.
"I've been wanting to get to the other island for a long time, mom said it's very beautiful there." I told him so he stood up and held my hand so he looked at me.
"We will go there but not now what I need is to call my cousin." He said so I nodded.
"There's a phone in town, but it's far away." I told him so he nodded.
"Come on, we need to get home so you can apologize to your mother." Raphael said and I just nodded.
We went back to the house holding hands and when we got close I stopped so he looked at me.
"I'm nervous." I whispered but he just smiled and holding my hand tightly.
He led me into the house and we caught up with mom who was preparing dinner, she stopped when she saw me and smiled.
"Who are my real parents?" I suddenly asked mom so she looked at me while we were eating and Raphael also stopped eating.
"Someone just gave you to me and you father, but just i told before she suddenly went missing after that." She said and my tears flowed spontaneously and continued to eat.
Who ever it is i don't know why she gave me to my mom before.
"I remembered earlier on my way home that your eighteenth birthday is coming up." Mom said so I just nodded.
Ever since I found out that my mother was not my real mother, I loved her even more because even though I was not her real child, she loved me and raised me to be a good person.
I couldn't ask for anything more because the next few days were quiet again and tomorrow is my birthday and I'm very happy.
It's not just my mother and I who were together on the day I became a full-fledged girl, Raphael was also here, so I couldn't ask for anything more.
But I was sad when he said goodbye to us that he was going back to town first and to talk to the person who could help him.
"Promise I'll come back and make it to your birthday." Raphael's gentle manner made me bend down and hold my clothes.
"You'll be back, won't you?" I looked at him weakly so he smiled and nodded.
"I'll be back, I promise." He came to me and kissed me on the forehead making me close my eyes.
He said goodbye to us and until the boat he was riding on was gone I still didn't leave where I was standing.
"Serenety you've been there for a while now, come on." Mom said coming to me.
I just followed her languidly.
"Are you sad because Raphael left?" Mom asked so I looked at her and slowly nodded to her.
"I'm sad." I said in low voice.
"Do you like him?" Mom asked so I blushed and bowed down I felt her move to my side and make me face her.
"You're really a young girl, my daughter. It's like when did you know that I'm so happy that I've seen your sweet smile since the arrival of Raphael." She told me that made me smile.
"Aren't you angry?" I asked mom so she smiled and shook her head.
"Raphael is a good person and I won't mind if you like him but he grew up in another world far from ours." I nodded at mom and smiled.
By the way, mom knows who Raphael's family is from and she said that they are rich, so some of the islands here were bought by their family themselves.
The Leviste family is no joke because they are influential people.
So I know that there is only a small chance that Raphael will come back here, something that I regret.
During the day I have no appetite and I'm always here at my Raphael's hut and sometimes look at the ocean.
I want to believe that maybe he won't come back but he made a promise and I know he will keep it.
Until the night came, I could hardly sleep and if my mother hadn't told me and held me, I wouldn't have been sleepy.
I woke up the next day greeted by a very good day especially and my mother greeted me as soon as I woke up.
I went out and looked at Raphael hut and I took a deep breath because he might not come back.
Until lunchtime, my mother still didn't see my problem, so she didn't talk to me.
But in the afternoon I looked at the sea when I heard the sound of a boat so I got up and went down to the hut.
I ran to the beach and smiled when I saw that Raphael was with me in the boat and he waved at me and got off the boat.
I couldn't stop myself from running to him and immediately hugged him, making him laugh out loud.
"Happy birthday my love." This is what he whispered to me before he kissed me firmly on my lips.
This is probably my happiest birthday because the man I love is back.
