The Ruler's Love Contract

Bad Memories

That time...

"I'm home!"

Ara had just arrived at the apartment after returning home from college. He closed the door and saw the man sitting on the sofa. He smiled and immediately took off his shoes. He misses none other than Rain.

“Honey, already home?” Ara smiled as she smiled at Rain.

Rain himself was flat-faced when he saw Ara's arrival. He then spoke to the girl who was taking off her shoes. “There's something I want to talk about, Ara.” Rain did not return Ara's smile at all.

“About what, Honey?” ask Ara who has not noticed it.

Rain came up from sitting. He approached Ara who was also walking towards him. Rain immediately handed over the brown envelope he received this morning.

"What's this?" Seeing Rain's face without a smile made Ara's mood change. He immediately opened the envelope. “Gosh!” Ara was shocked when she saw the contents of the envelope. He then realizes the cause of Rain's change in attitude towards him. “Honey, this ..?” Ara looked at Rain with a face of disbelief.

“I didn't think you were going to betray me, Ara.” Rain turned his back on Ara.

“Honey, this is not what you imagined.” Ara tried to explain.

“Unlike I imagined, what do you mean?!” Rain turned to face Ara.

“This guy helped me. Yesterday afternoon I was almost hit by a motorcyclist speeding on the road.” Ara explained.

“Help? Must you hug like that?” asked Rain who did not believe Ara's story.

“Honey, really. It happened so fast. I don't know if it's gonna be like this either."

“Quite, Ara! I don't want to hear your excuses anymore!” Rain was unable to control his emotions, he was angry at Ara.

Love ....

Ara was silent while holding the photo sheet she received. He did not expect Rain to hit him. His chest suddenly felt tight when he heard the high intonation of his man.

“Are you so cheap that you can be hugged by any man?!” ask Rain to Ara.

"What-what ...?"

Instantly, Ara also gasped at Rain's question. His heart was like glass cups that fell and broke into pieces. Her chest grew tight when she heard the question from Rain.

Mr ....

How painful the words uttered by Rain. Rain said a word that pierced right into his heart. Screens of tears began to come out of hiding, along with a sense of tightness that can no longer be held in the chest.

"I-I .. not like that ...."

Ara answered him with a stammer. He looked down at the sad man before him. Rain looked at Ara with annoyance. He was covered in his own anger.

The afternoon wind that entered through the window vents seemed to be a witness to the quarrel that occurred. Ara could say nothing more. He immediately put his college bag, mobile phone, and even the credit card Rain gave him to the guest table.

Ara ...?!

Rain was wide-eyed to see Ara hand over all the items she had given. The girl immediately walked towards the door, intending to go out and end this encounter. His heart was completely wounded by Rain's words.

“Wait!” Rain also held Ara's departure. “Is this how you solve the problem?” ask Rain before Ara can leave.

The girl turned her back to Rain while enduring the growing pain. Her tears fell, one by one, drenching her cheeks. He could no longer afford to linger like this.

“I have no reason to stay here. This is not my home.” Ara stepped her foot towards the door.

“One more time you step, I will not hesitate to shoot you from here!” Rain was really upset that Ara was intending to leave him.

It was not the word that Ara wanted to hear from Rain. Not a threat he wanted to feel right now. His heart was wounded but Rain did not notice it, so more tears fell down his cheeks. He sobbed in his sadness.

“From the beginning you did want to shoot me, didn't you? My life has no price in your eyes, let alone my heart. Then why are you still holding me back?” Ara said with her back to Rain.

Rain fell silent, trying to reset his breathing. His emotions are unstable at the moment.

“If indeed our contract is not over, I will finish it soon. But, allow me to calm this heart first. If you still mind, then shoot me now.” Ara resigned, really resigned to the situation.

The girl does not know how else to deal with her man who is now covered in anger. He then set foot toward the door, resigned if Rain would really shoot him. He rushed out of the apartment with tears. However, it turns out that Rain's speech is only a bluff. He didn't really shoot Ara.

I'm cheap? How low do you judge me, sir?

The girl ran towards the elevator of the apartment building. She wiped her tears with her own sleeve. He passed second by second in the elevator by himself. Arriving on the ground floor, Ara immediately got out of the elevator, running somewhere. He just followed his footsteps. Although Rain...

The ruler looks upset. What was in front of him he just kicked. And now he supports the body with one hand on the wall of the room. He tried to reset his hunting breath due to jealousy.

Did he do this intentionally to avoid me? Does he not care about my feelings? Everything I've done for her? He just left me. Her…

Rain then sat on the sofa. He rubbed his own head. His heart was very upset at this moment. Ara seemed to ignore him by leaving just like that, leaving herself alone in the apartment.

My head hurts so much. Arghhh!

Rain rested his back on the sofa. It dawned on Ara to leave with nothing. Giving phones from him, his credit card, even college bags were also left on the table.

“Why are you such a bitch, Ara?! Why?!” Rain was angry.

The ruler was silent in silence. He did not know where Ara was. His breathing rate was still irregular because of the jealousy that burned him. Yes, Rain was jealous of seeing Ara being hugged by another man. Although Ara has explained the actual chronology, Rain still thinks that Ara betrayed him. Until he unconsciously said a word that made Ara's heart very hurt.

Rain receives a photo sheet when Ara is grabbed by the man who helped her, from a speeding motorcycle rider at that time. However, the one Rain saw Ara was hugging the man. He could not think clearly so jealousy made his anger uncontrollable.
