You Have Your Family

When Mina woke up later at night, Chad was not on the bed.  She rasied her head from the bed and looked around the room. She stood up, walked into the bathroom, but he was not there.

Where did he go to? 

Mina rushed out of the room to look for him. After searching the house, she asked the maid where he went to.

"Miss Mina, Young master suddenly left the house in a hurry. He didn't tell us where he was going to and he didn't allow anybody to follow him. Miss Mina, I don't know what is wrong with young master. Ever since ma'am Rachel disappeared, he has not been himself"

What if chad decided to kill himself because of Rachel? Everyone knows that Rachel is everything to him. His life, his strength, his joy. Now that Rachel is gone, his life js completely empty.

Mina grabbed her coat from the couch and turned to leave, but the maid stopped her. "Miss Mina, it's going to rain heavily tonight, so I suggest you don't go out and where do you think young master is?"

Mina turned to look at her. "I don't know" then she picked up her phone and ran out of the mansion immediately. She got into the car and dialed Chad's number, but it was switched off.

"Miss Mina, where are we going to?" the driver asked. 

"I don't know. Just drive" Mina said in a confused tone. She thought of where Chad could be, then she remembered that Chad and Rachel always goes to the gills together. Maybe he is there now. "Drive to the hills" Mina said.

"Ah, okay" the driver turned the car around and drove to the hills. Mina closed her eyes and prayed silently to God. If chad dies, her life is also empty. She must also save Chad before he does something bad to himself.

'Dear God, I pray you protect chad. Please, save him from all dangers. Don't let him kill himself'

At the hills.

Just as she thought, Chad was at the hills. He was standing there, his face was pale and his eyes were dull like w sick patient. He was absent minded as he stare into space.

Mina walked towards him slowly. She reached out her hand to touch him on his shoulder and said. "It's beautiful, right?"

Chad was brought down back to earth by her voice. He turned his head to look at the person standing beside him.

"What are you doing here?" was the question he asked her. 

"You were not at home when I woke up, so I came to look for you. I thought you were in danger" she said.

"You should go back home. I want to be alone" he said without looking at her. 

Mina heart ached. She looked at him. "Are you still thinking of Rachel? Is that why you came here?"

"..." No respond.

"Chad, Rachel is gone forever. She will never come back to you. Don't you get it? Everyone is trying to make you understand"

Chad pushed her hand away from his shoulder. "Rachel is everything to me. Without her, I can't live. I feel as though my heart is empty" he placed his hand on his chest and said, "I am dying everyday to see her. I know that oneday, she will come back. If not today, then someday" Chad felt the day Rachel left him, his life became completely meaningless.

"I can remember the first time I met her, she was very beautiful. The most beautiful girl I have ever met. She had a big beautiful light brown eyes. Everything about her is so beautiful. Even though I was arrogant and proud then, she didn't do anything to fight me back. I even threw a stick at her. She scolded him, but I treated her as nothing because she was just a farm worker,  but later I got to understand that we are all human beings. We are all the same. No matter how rich and powerful you are" he said and tears rolled down his eyes.

Mina's heart ached a bit. "This is not the man I used to know. The chad I know is strong, talented and he doesn't give up. This is the first time, I am seeing you cry like this" Even though Chad is always cold and he act different when he around her, she still doesn't care. What she doesn't want is to see him like this. "Chad, you are a strong man. You shouldn't let life pull you down. This is not the end of life; don't give up yet"

"My life is completely empty"

"No. You still have your family. What about them? What do you think will happen to them if you die? Huh? Have you ever thought of it?"

She cursed Rachel inwardly for coming into Chad's life. If they didn't meet each other in the first place, this wouldn't have happened to him. Chad would not be like this 

"Family? No one supported him except from my Dad. Mom is always against me when it comes to Rachel and you call that family?" he sneered.

"Aunt loves you so much that's why she is doing that. She knows what's best for you that's why she is against you relationship with Rachel. Rachel is a gold digger. She is nothing, but someone who doesn't care about you, but your money and power"

"That's not true. Rachel loves me so much and I believe she will come back some day. I will keep waiting for her"

Tears rolled down Mina's eyes as she listened to Chad's words. It pained her so much seeing Chad like this. He is still hoping that she would come back. And he is even defending her after what she did to him. What's wrong with him, Mina thought.

Mina looked at him and said, "Let's go back home. It will soon rain and you are not feeling well, you still came here at this hour. Don't you care about yourself?"

"Go away. I didn't beg you to look for me" he said, his voice was low. 

Mina felt that she couldn't take it anymore. She won't allow Chad to do this to himself just because of a woman. She began to yell furiously and started to cry. "Chad, are you crazy? Do you want to kill yourself because of Rachel? Don't you care about your family? What about me?"

Her? 

She is nothing, but a total stranger to him. 

"Chad, Rachel has left you for good. You should forget about her and move on with your life. She is your past, okay?" her voice became hoarse from crying.

Suddenly, rain began to pour down heavily. Their hair were dripping and their clothes became plastered to their body. 

Chad seems not to care. "I don't care about my life anymore. it's useless living without Rachel in my life. She is my support. She is everything to me. No one can ever replace Rachel in my heart. Not even you"

His words made her heart dropped. She clenched her fist angrily that her sharp nails dug into her palm and blood started to gush out. "Chad...You... Am... Am I that bad that you don't even want to see me?" she asked while crying.

Chad looked at her. "Mina, you are nothing to me. I have never liked you and I will never like you. Get that into your head. Rachel is the only one I have ever loved and I will forever love"

"What if Rachel get married someday? What will happen to you?"

Chad turned his head and did not respond. He thought of it, what if Rachel really get married to someone else. What will happen to him? 

He shook his head. "No, no. She won't get married to someone else. She loves me dearly. Go back home Mina and don't look for me again" he said and turned to leave.

Mina reached out her hand to grab his arm, but he evade her touch and she fell on her knees. Without looking back, he left. 

"Rachel, I hope you don't come back again. I hope you don't contact Chad" she said as she was trembling with rage. "Chad, don't worry. You will surely forget about Rachel and then you will be mine" she laughed evily. Her laughter echoed in the night.
