Mr. Hephephobias

CHAPTER 107 - More than My Beloved

Lucia returns to Reisa's apartment accompanied by Rayn. Arriving at the apartment, Reisa looked at Rayn with an annoyed and angry look. Lucia was uncomfortable with it, she asked Reisa to end her sharp gaze at Rayn.

"If it wasn't for the phobia she had, maybe yesterday I had made her porridge" complained Reisa resentfully still staring at Rayn who was in the car.

Lucia is surprised by Reisa's statement, she does not know if it turns out Reisa managed to know where she went to take her car. Reisa came to the Villa and met with Rayn, even he vented all his frustration there. Rayn receives so much meaning than physical attacks given Rayn's phobia.

"I know you're angry, but" Lucia said.

"Don't worry, I've still forgiven her" Reisa said, allowing Lucia to enter.

Lucia immediately walked in and asked what made Reisa so easy to forgive Ryan. Reisa just sighed. He explains that maybe what David told him about Rayn was true.

It will not be easy to be in the position of Rayn who must choose a difficult choice. Reisa can understand her more after seeing how Lucia persists with her feelings and struggles for their relationship to get back together.

Lucia was very moved to hear that, she immediately hugged Reisa. "Thank you, Reisa" he said.

Reisa helps Lucia pack some of the items that will be brought to the Villa, with sadness she has to part with Lucia again. Though all this time Reisa had been very happy when Lucia returned to live with him. Reisa takes Lucia to Rayn's car.

"If you hurt her again, I'll make sure you don't have a second chance" Reisa told Rayn.

"Reisa.." whispered Lucia asking Reisa to stop her bluff.

"I'm happy, with the threat it means he's very affectionate and caring about you" Rayn told Lucia.

"I'll remember" Rayn told Reisa.

Arriving at the Villa, they see Mickey coming out of the Villa in a hurry. Rayn got out of the car to ask what happened. Mickey, who was just about to open the door, turned his head and walked over to Rayn.

"I found out where Uncle Louis is" Mickey said.

Rayn frowned at the news, hearing the name was like reopening the wounds of the most painful night of her life.

"Are you sure you don't want to ask my father for help?" ask Rayn.

"I'll ask Mr. Charles for help after making sure he's the one responsible for all the incidents" Mickey said.

"So you're going straight back to Canada?" ask Rayn.

Mickey nodded. "Eemm. but I'll be back without Arka, better Arka stay here with you" he said.

Rayn refused. "You need him more than I do, after all, didn't you bring in a new bodyguard" he said.

"It is precisely because it is still new that I become unsettled, I can better calm down if Arka is guarding you. Don't worry, if pressed I'll definitely find your father for help" Mickey said.

Mickey got into the car, after staying in the car for a long time, he ran his car and left Villa. Lucia approached Rayn and held her hand.

Along with Mickey went Lucia got a message from Mickey, he then looked at Mickey's vehicle which then disappeared from their view.

[You're back at the right time, tomorrow's his birthday. I was so worried that she would be lonely, but now you are, thank you]

"He knows his birthday tomorrow but he's gone" murmured Lucia to speak for herself and put her phone back in her pants pocket.

Lucia sighed deeply and exhaled slowly, then threw a soothing smile at Rayn. He hopes that everything will be finished soon and beautifully blessed. Lucia no longer wants to see Rayn continue to be haunted by all the bitter memories that always make her suffer.

Lucia is now busy tidying up her room which she has not occupied for a long time. Surprisingly the room was kept neat and clean, even as if it was never empty. Rayn seemed to have been guarding her room and making sure it was always clean, the little thing that made her smile happily.

After tidying up some of the items he had just brought, Lucia went to meet Rayn who was currently busy in the painting room. Lucia came in and walked over to Rayn, who was sitting in front of her aesel board. Rayn turned her head and threw a brief smile greeting the arrival of Lucia and then looked back at the work she had not finished.

Lucia smiled with relief as it seemed like Rayn had returned to paint. Lucia approached leaning her hand on Rayn's boat, she saw Rayn's hand gestures that seemed hesitant to continue painting. It seems like the news he received from Mickey affected his current mood.

"Do you want to go for a walk for a moment in the fresh air outside?" ask Lucia.

Actually Rayn is not a person who is difficult to control his mood when painting, as long as he has inspiration he will easily and shrewdly scratch a brush on paper. The meaning of his paintings that can show his heart when painting.

Rayn decides to go with Lucia for a walk enjoying the smell of the trees until they reach Dervilia. Lucia stopped stepping and looked at the terraced Villa in front of her. Rayn drew her steps closer and holding onto Lucia's hand invited her in.

"Come on.." said Rayn.

Lucia smiled and followed Rayn's steps into Dervilia. Once inside, Rayn is busy in the kitchen to brew chamomile tea for Lucia.

"I should have spoiled you to be more relaxed, but now it's you who did it" said Lucia as she grabbed a glass with warm chamomile tea from Rayn's hand.

The two now sit on the balcony of the Villa, mingling with a breath of fresh air from the trees that surround Villa Dervilia.

"Do you want to meet my mother?" chirp Rayn suddenly.

Lucia immediately turned her head to look at the face of the man who looked serious asking her. "Your mother?" lusia asked as if she wanted to convince him of what she heard.

"Every year, right on her birthday I always go to Canada to visit her grave. This year." said Rayn stuck while playing the fingers of Lusia spoiled.

"This year I want me to introduce you to him." he continued, staring at Lucia.

Without asking and thinking for a long time, Lucia nodded and smiled. Lucia was moved by the seriousness of Rayn who wanted to introduce herself to the woman who had the highest position in Rayn's heart.

Lucia rests her head on Rayn's shoulder. "Will he like me? Do you think I'll live up to the standard?" ask Lucia.

"He never said he disagreed with what I decided. My mother always agreed with whatever I chose. But in spite of all that, if only he were alive, I'm sure he wouldn't complain and would fall in love with you immediately" Rayn said, describing the warm heart of the mother he loved.

"Then will you introduce me as your lover?" asked Lucia without looking at Rayn. He still looked at the beautiful flower garden in front of the Villa.

"Are you going to agree on more than that?" ask Rayn.

A surprising question that makes the heart shake of course. More than a lover? thought Lucia immediately hesitated, she put away the exaggerated thought considering Ryan likes to bully her.

Lusia pulled her back and looked at Rayn with a questioning look on her face. "Le..bih...from that?" tanya Lucia hesitated and carefully.

Rayn smiled, she stared fixedly at the two beads of Lucia's eyes which were also staring at her. "Eemmm.." Rayn muttered with a murmur.

Rayn reached out her hand reaching for the small leaf that was on Lucia's hair. "More than my lover." he said calmly as he threw away the little leaf. She then pulled back the hair of Lucia covering her forehead due to the roar of the wind. "introducing you as my wife" he continued.

"Rayn.." call Lucy to look at Rayn.

Rayn looked at the eyes of Lucia who was moved. "Allow me with all these feelings entrusted by God to keep you until it is lawful for me to touch you" Rayn said and embraced Lucia.

"The day will come when you’ll be mine. I’ll wait till that time. If I have to wait forever, that’s what I’ll do. Cause I can’t live my life without you" continued Rayn in his heart.
