Chapter 5

"Topher let her go!" Raymond ordered him. He was standing by the door while holding a wood, he is ready to hit Topher anytime. Topher unwillingly let Rona go.

"Go away Topher! I don't want to see your face anymore." Rona screamed at him, Topher sneered at her.

"I'm not done with you!" Topher threatened Raymond before he walks out of Rona's cottage.

"Are you alright?" Raymond asked Rona with concern, she nodded at him then hugged him tight as if she doesn't want to lose him.

"I'm here now so don't be scared, I'll have to die first before he can ever touch you again." He promised her.

"Raymond please don't leave me alone." Rona pleaded at him while crying.

"Okay, does this mean that you're not mad at me anymore?"

"Let's just say that I badly needed you now."

"Don't worry I'll never leave you until we leave this place tomorrow." Raymond assured her, when Rona is calm, they decided to sleep so they can leave early in the morning.

"Raymond, you can sleep beside me." Rona told him while offering the other side of her bed to him.

"No, I'll just sleep on the floor, I'm going to be fine here."

"Don't be shy, I trust you a lot, or maybe you're scared because you think that I might steal a kiss from you when you are sleeping?" Rona told him jokingly. They remembered the incident in the car that Saturday night and they both laughed.

"Okay I'll sleep beside you, you don't need to steal a kiss from me because whether I'm asleep or awake I'll let you kiss me." Raymond told her.

"You're so conceited! If you did not save me a while ago, I would still not talk to you."

"Let's sleep now, we can talk about stolen kisses tomorrow on our way home." Raymond told her then he lay beside her.

"I don't want us to talk about it and correction it's not totally a stolen kiss because it never happened." Rona complained.

"But if I didn't wake up in the middle of your fantasies, you will carry on with it right?" Raymond insisted.

"I regret that night." Rona told him.

"Rona can I hug you? I'm feeling cold." Raymond asked her after some time when the lights were turned off. Rona did not answer, she did not expect that Raymond will hug her, this is the first time that Raymond hugged her and she can't believe that this is happening at this kind of situation. She felt good and safe in his arms, she's very comfortable and she fell asleep, this is the moment that she won't exchange for anything else in this world.

Rona suddenly got up of the bed when she noticed that Raymond was not beside her, she turned on the lights but there is still no trace of Raymond in the room. It's already one in the morning and she is wondering where the hell in the world did he go. She felt nervous when she remembered the threat from Topher, she opened the window and felt relieved when she saw Raymond, he was under a coconut tree holding his cellphone and talking to someone. She didn't know who he is talking to at this time, she suddenly felt jealous. But she suddenly got frightened when she saw a shadow of a tall man walking towards Raymond's back, she thinks that it might be Topher , she saw that he is holding a knife in his right hand.
