Annie was puzzled and asked, "Plan?" She rattled her head at what Rain might've ant but, it drew a blank. "W-what do you an?" Annie asked eventually.
"Don't play stupid with ," Rain demanded, his voice growing stronger by the mont. "Now that I know that I have children, there's no way I'd allow any other man to be called their father but !" Rain's mind was completely sowhere else from the start. Things were getting confusing, even for Annie. How could Annie tell Huey that Rain was his father if she had let the children call another man Dad?
Annie blinked, "Y-You're not making any sense…" Even Leena could recognize that problem but, unfortunately for Rain, he couldn't. Rain's mind was consud by his own thoughts that he couldn't think straight.
"I didn't get anything wrong," Rain responded, he seed to be clenching his teeth in anger. "Didn't you marry another man with my children?." Rain took the glass of water from the table and gulped it down in one go, as if to die the fire that was burning inside of him.
Then, Annie responded with a question, "Who told you I was married?" Annie felt upset with Rain's allegations towards her.
It was just like how an old saying went, "If you are out to condemn soone, you can always trump a charge."
That saying completely summarized what was happening between Rain and Annie.
"What?" Rain's eyes widened. Rain couldn't believe what he heard. He felt like his ears were playing tricks on him. Rain shot up from his seat. "Could you say it again?" Rain heard Annie the first ti and he just wanted to hear Annie say it, that one line that would end all his suffering.
"I never said that I was married!" Annie exclaid, she sighed afterwards. Rain always had his habit of always considering that whatever he thought was right and carelessly blad her for everything but, in reality, she was in the white.
Rain's face imdiately lit up at Annie's response. He just couldn't believe it. "You're telling the truth, right?" The colorless world Rain lived in then started to take on vivid colors. Rain hated being in such a monochromatic place. The atmosphere beca lighter.
His body then began to move on its own as he moved towards Annie. Now he was lost whether he should embrace her tightly or not.
"Why would I lie to you?" Annie smiled
t get a fairy tale like proposal or a heartfelt confession. She would always understand Rain and forgive him. But, the last thing Annie wanted Rain to do was to marry her just for the children.
"You don't know at all," Rain said in frustration, his tone dyed in sorrow. "You wouldn't have said such things to otherwise." The two had been apart for four years. Rain loved Annie and that was an undeniable fact and so did Annie. But, they never had the chance to open their hearts to each other.
This was why they always had tough conversations.
Both of them acted as if they had closed off their hearts to one another, acting indifferent despite their hearts screaming otherwise.
Silence dawned upon Rain and Annie, as if everything was still.
Then, Annie broke the silence with a simple statent.
"You're right." Annie then averted her gaze. "You're more like a stranger to the more I talk to you."
She took a deep breath and looked up. " I've been wondering for the last few days, whether you are still the sa Rain I have loved." Rain's statent imdiately made Annie's heart sink.
Annie couldn't help but look back to the ti when they just started to get to know one another. Rain kept on running away while Annie kept on chasing him.
Annie loved Rain dearly. But now, Annie grew tired.
She looked at Rain with agony inside her heart, 'Looks like I was wrong to hope things have changed…'
Ti might have changed their surroundings and the people around them but, so people still remained idle, unchanged.
