Remember me - Chapter 4

As Rain turned her focus back on to Alex, “You said you are my old friend, do I know you for a long time? “

“Yes Rain, we have known each other for the longest of time. There are so many things that happen between the two of us, that it would take an even longer time for me to tell you everything one by one.” Alex replied with adoration in his eyes. His Rain is finally back, the Rain he used to know.

“How long would that be?” Rain replied, feeling curious once and again.

“Very very long, but I won’t mind telling you bit by bit, until the day you remember everything single detail again.” Alex replied, as tears of joy began to fall.

“Are you sad? Why are you crying? Don’t cry.” Rain said as she raises her hand to help Alex wipe off the tears. Unable to understand the heartache she feels inside, she felt that it’s better to ask the other when he’s not around.

“Its tears of joy I am shedding. I’m not sad but rather I am far too happy for words. It’s been months since that day we had our quarrel. I am so happy that you are finally talking to me again, Rain I promise you, I will never make you sad or angry ever again.” Alex said as he held onto Rain’s hand.

It’s been months since the fateful day, when he accidentally told Rain off. Although he had tried all kinds of ways and means to apologies to Rain, she had always refused to talk to him, let alone listen to his explanations.

“Alex, you have been here the whole night, think you better go back and get some rest.” Jimmy said. “We’ll take care of things here.”

“I know I ought to go, but I can’t rest; knowing that she’s finally awaken.” Alex replied. “I just can’t leave her like that.”

“I understand what you mean Alex, but you have to take care of yourself too. It’s won’t do Rain or you any good if you fallen ill too. Who’s gonna tell her all the stories that happened between the two of you?” Angel replied.

“I understand.” Alex shrugged. “Rain, I think I better go back and get some rest, as your siblings have ordered, but I’ll be back later in the late afternoon to tell you anything you wanna know. So will you wait for me?”

“Okay, I guess I can wait. You seem to be paler then I am now.” Rain replied.

“Then, I’ll see you guys later.” Alex said as he left the room, holding Rain’s dairy close to his heart.

“Angel, was he someone I loved a lot, or someone I hate to the core?” Rain asked as soon as Alex was out of ear shot.

“Both, Rain… you remembered something?” Angel asked.

“Not really, it’s just that while talking to him I felt very happy at first, as if I’ve found my best friend, or a long lost friend even, but after that, a feeling of anger and heart break took over that feeling.” Rain replied. “Was he someone very important to me?”

“You are very correct, Rain. He was someone very important to you, and if I am not wrong, he felt the same thing for you too.” Jimmy replied.

“Why... Jimmy, I never though you were interested in Rain and Alex’s romance story.” Angel said in shock.

“Hey come one please, I might seem to be a bad elder brother to the two of you, but there is no way I would let anyone hurt you two. Not even my best friend.” Jimmy protested.

“Hmmm, that’s something you don’t get to hear everyday.” Angel replied with a cheeky smile on her face.

Jimmy was always the big bully at home. The twins always though that the reason for Jimmy to dislike them, was because their parents has always dumped the responsibility of looking after them to him. Maybe their parents know something they didn’t.

“Please tell me more about our family and our lives together at home. I wanna know more.” Rain asked as she looked at both Angel and Jimmy.

“What do you wanna know? How our parents keep ‘trusting’ the responsibility of looking after you two twerps to me, and went for their honeymoon trip, one after another? Or how the two of you keep getting on my nerves by crying all day non stop, especially when my exams are near?” Jimmy replied with a smile.

“What about the time he lost you in the mall, while he was trying to get a sales girl’s phone number?” Angel added in.

“Hey no fair!” Jimmy exclaimed.

“But it boils down to the fact that you always love the both of us, right?” Rain butted in, leaving both Angel and Jimmy looking at her with a shocked expression on their faces.

“Yes…” Jimmy replied as the cheeks became red.
“Whoa… Rain, how do you do it? Why is it that you are always able to make Jimmy blush?” Angel asked.

“Because she’s so much cuter then you.” Jimmy replied.

“Hey…!” Angel rebutted. This was a sight anyone would love to see in the Ong family. Even though Rain still has a lot of memory to recollect, right now, she’s enjoying every single bit of family time together.
