PROLOGUE
Third Person POV.
It was raining on the first day they met,
A girl is walking under the falling raindrops. It ignores the strong lightning that illuminates its dark path, but it continues to walk on the road.
She is lucky because he lives in a private subdivision, only rare vehicles passing the road it takes.
It just walks straight and no emotion can be seen on its perfect face, it is still young as if every part of its face is curved. If you look at it you will think this girl is a doll.
The girl stopped walking because she was startled by the loud horn coming from a black car. This child is in a state of shock. It just covered his two dazzling eyes caused by the loud light of the black car. While the black car was still honking its horn.
The car stopped and the girl slowly removed her hand to cover her eyes.
And gradually the strong light caused by the black vehicle disappears.
The girl heard a loud shout before the car door opened and a boy came out.
"Raiko son! Come back here inside!" A cry of the concerned Mother to her Son.
Instead of answering his mother, the boy hurried out and closed the car door. And go straight to where the girl is.
A boy was exposed in front of the girl he looked at the boy from head to toe. This is a decent boy wearing a Black tuxedo dyed with black shoes And its gold watch proving that he came from a high level family.
"Hi there pretty!" The boy greeted the girl warmly.
"Hi there pretty!" Repetition of boy.
But the girl still did not speak but she just walked and sat on a bench on the side of the road, but the boy still followed her.
The black car light came on again and was getting ready to leave. Its window opened and it spat out a beautiful mother smiling at the two children.
"Hey Baby! We were going home, are you coming?" He asked his son. While her son secretly peeked at the girl first.
"Not yet mom! Just call Yaya Emelda to grab me, later" The boy replied smiling to his Mother.
"Okay then, gotta go!" He said before closing the window and the black car drove away, leaving only the two children sitting under the pouring rain.
"So ..." The boy broke the silence between the two of them.
"Why are you alone? Where is your Parents? What are you doin 'in outside? Why are you walking alone?" The boy asked one question after another as you thought the two had known each other for a long time.
"Hey, Are you dumb or deaf?" He added as he pointed to his mouth and ears so that the girl could understand it better.
But the girl still did not talk to him, the boy got up from his seat and went in front of the girl. The girl stared at it with astonishment on its face.
Shortly afterwards the boy began to scream as if the girl had just noticed him, the girl's beautiful smile flashed on his lips.
"Idiot" He whispered to himself, which the boy heard so he quickly approached the girl with an unbelievable look at the girl.
"Wow, atleast now you already said your first word!" He said cheerfully to the girl.
"Congrats!" The girl added to her hair and messed up, which caused the girl to be shocked by what she did, so the girl smiled even more.
"Your smiling," the boy whispered to the girl.
"Thank you!" The girl answered and at the same time she hugged the boy as if the two of them had become close, and there the girl began to cry.
"Woah! What was that for?" Smiling the boy said.
"Hey! ... uhmm ... Why are you crying?" The boy asked worriedly.
Soon the girl stopped crying which caused the rain to stop. The flash of lightning is gone and the rushing raindrops are gone.
"Thank you for giving me hope, thank you My Man Of Hope" The girl said softly to the boy.
The boy smiled even more at what the girl said.
"Uhmm..Your welcome?" The boy said hesitantly.
"Your Welcome Little RainStopper" He laughed and made the girl laugh.
Amidst the laughter of the two, an old woman holding an umbrella in her 50's called the boy.
"Baby Señor!" It screamed, causing the boy to panic while the girl secretly laughed.
"Baby Señor Huh?" The girl said almost in a whisper.
The boy frowned at what he heard.
"Gotta go Rainstopper!" The boy shouted as he ran away from the girl.
"Until again Baby Señor!" The girl almost shouted back.
And the boy walked away, while the girl returned to the bench where she had been sitting with a smile on her face.
That was probably the best thing that ever happened to the girl's life. He was about to leave to escape to their mansion but because of the boy he never try to.
"Thanks to Baby Señor, the Man of Hope, and The Man Who saved Rainstopper life"

"Te Amo"
CASY POV.
We are currently at Raiko's mansion, we are just watching Naruto, yes Naruto really. Hehe.
We really like watching anime movies like "Your Name", "Silent Voice" and "Fireworks", and many more. This is just one of our hobbies every Holidays.
Actually Raiko and I are in college this year, and yeah we go to the same school.
And it was University of Harris Caledonians, and my dad was the one who build that University here in Manila.
My dad name was Caled. That's why it called Caledonians because, it's my dad freaking name,
And Harris it's our family last name.
The Harris family the 2'nd richest family in Tarlac, and it's all beacause of Dad and Mom sacrifices.
"Thinking something too deep, Huh?" That made me back into reality.
"Not that much," I said with a bored tone.
"Are you bored or something?" I heard Raiko asked.
"I think? Are you the one who watches repeated movies let's see if you don't get bored," I answered with a sarcastic tone.
And he just laugh ...
Laugh ...
Laugh ...
Laugh ...
"Hey I'm serious huh? Don't laugh, theres no funny" I added and rolled my eyes.
Just a little and I will finish the big Ice cream I bought, while watching the movie over and over again.
"Maybe let's stop watching movies first and go outside, I guess?" He said.
"Right!" And I run to open the big sliding door.
It's sunset ... the timing of Raiko and I going out of his room is just right because we can watch the sunset.
The mixture of heat and cold of the breeze was good to feel. The sun is constantly moving downwards and its rays are giving a more pleasant and beautiful view around.
.....
We also spent a few hours on the balcony, the sun had set but we were still standing here on the balcony while airing.
I also ate a lot of ice cream and what was even more fun was that Raiko and I talked about the smiles that lit up our lips again.
A few hours ago and Raiko shared some stories with me and of course I did the same with her.
Until the topic goes to the course we will take.
"What course will you take Cass?" Raiko started our conversation.
"Bussiness I guess," I answered.
"Really not sure huh?" Raiko said with his sarcastic tone.
"Actually ..." I said skeptically.
"Tell me is there a problem Cass?" I heard Raiko asked with concern in his voice.
"It's just Dad ... want me to take Bussiness" I said with a low voice.
"But you want to take Nursing?" Raiko said.
It is well known that Raiko and I really grew up in High School when we were growing up together, so things like this he already knows what I want. That's why sometimes I wonder why'd he asks if he already knows what I want or the answer.
"Yeah?" I answered.
Raiko just kept quiet for a few minutes, Yes, I know how he feels that he can't do anything, I also can't do anything his my Dad, The second richest Bussiness man in Tarlac, he gets everything he wants and lastly he just wants to be followed .
"Raiko," I almost whispered his name.
"Why?" He answered.
"If you were in my situation what would you choose, to rebuke your father and follow your dreams or just let your dad control your life" I know my question is super obvious but I just want to know what Raiko's opinion is.
"Uhmm ... Maybe if I were in your position I would follow my dream. I dont care what else happens to me and whatever they say I am selfish than that ... I dont care ... We are people 'nga naman', that living in the world full of judgment. We also need to be self-sufficient cause in this world people belief that unhappiness is selfless and happiness is selfish.And that was a big fact inorder to take our own happiness.Because if you love someone you would rather see him happy right? That's why, no matter what be your decision Just remember that I always be here by your side Cass, "He said while wearing his smile thats makes me feel comfortable.
I lean my head on his shoulder and said,
"Thank you .... Thank you for Everything," I said to him.
"As always Cass," He said and almost he whispered those words.
.........
"Cass," I heard Raiko called my name.
"Hmmmm?" I answered.
"Quick fix yourself, your mom is outside," We got in the car immediately after hearing what Raiko said. And I quickly shook myself before entering the restroom here inside Raiko's room to wash and then I went out to make sure my face was fine.
"Where is she?" I asked when I got out of comfortRoom.
"Maybe, outside ... Waiting?" Raiko said with his sarcastic tone.
"No ti-"
I could not continue what I was about to say when there was a sudden knock on Raiko's room.
"Casy, let's go home and your dad will arrive soon sweety" I heard my mom talk on the front of Raiko's door room.
Raiko stood up and opened the door.
"Ah..Tita Claire" Raiko greeted my mom happily.
"Oh hi there Raiko, where's Casy?" I heard Mom said.
I quickly went to Mom and gave her a frugal smile.
"Alright mom, let's go home" I said
"Uhmm ... Raiko thanks for today see you tommorow" I added.
And when we got out of the Lewis family mansion again, I first looked at Raiko's room, and there I saw Raiko waving at me then I wave back and smile before entering our car but before that I look at Raiko once again .
I saw Raiko whispered something to me ...
What is that? ...
Is that?
Te Amo?
What is there in that word? , Suddenly my heartbeat quickened. How do I feel about my heart beating so fast ?.
...
From the moment I got in our car, from the moment we ate for our dinner and from now on.
I wonder what Raiko said, I look at my alarm clock.
It's already 12:03 am and I'm still awake.
Ughh I hate this feeling !, I hate this! And I hate Raiko! He is to blame for why I can't sleep thinking about what he said.
My bed is big if you measure two people can lie on it.
Shortly afterwards I decided to go out, in the balcony.
Later on I decided to search what is the meaning of Te Amo.
I went inside my room took my laptop.
What is Te Amo?
And two meanings of Te amo came out.
1.The expression "I Love You" is the equavalent for both spanish "Te Amo" and "Te quiero" can be said to everybody, but "Te Amo" is use for Boyfriend and Girlfriend.
Wait! ...
What? !!! .....
Ughhh! ...
Wait? .... Te Amo means something,
2. You can say "Te amo" to a Friend if both of you know that there's no physical attraction, in that case it's the same as "Te quiero".
That's for yourself, you can also say that to your Friend.
But that's how I felt when I read the first meaning of "Te Amo" The speed of my heartbeat and I still feel nervous.
But when I read the second meaning of "Te Amo" why did I not seem to be able to breathe and my heart ached.

Casy POV.
Beneath the heavy rain and lightning, there was a girl who had not stopped crying.
It sits in its favorite Garden that she himself discovered within their subdivision where she lives. The girl knew that no one else knew the place so she called it "Enchanted Garden".
Because this garden is full of colorful and fragrant flowers and the clean bermuda grass where the girl always lies down if she wants to look at the beautiful stars.
It continued to cry, as well as the heavy rain that seemed to never stop.
Shortly afterwards a ball rolled onto the girl's foot, so she stood up to take the ball but before she could touch it a shoe appeared in front of it.
So the girl stopped for a moment and slowly raised her head to see who or who was in front of it.
"You?!"
"You ?! '
They both mentioned together when the two girls and the boy met again, the boy smiled with joy as well as the girl because now they have met again.
Because after their first meeting, the girl did not see the boy again, she also did not know where he lived because they did not talk much when they first met.
"Hi! Little Rainstopper long time no see," The boy said to the girl, but before the girl could speak she looked at the boy from head to toe.
A decent boy wearing a denimcoat folded up to a boy's arm dyed A denimjeans and converse shoes. The boy looks more mature than when he first met those who were only 5 years old and now the two are now 7 years old.
"Okay now I'm melting" The boy said jokingly in the tone of his voice.
"Ahuh? You act like an old man, you speak like an old man and now I know your not the Baby Señor I know, you are the old version of Baby Señor" The girl replied with a smirk in her tone.
"Tss" The little boy whispered, and rolled his eyes.
"Is this ball is yours?" The little girl asked.
"I guess" The little boy answered, with his sarcastic tone.
"Baby Señor! We need to go" The old woman shouted. She is Yaya Emelda the little boy Yaya.
"I gotta go!" The little boy said to little girl. Before he ran and went inside the black car.
"Wai-," The little shouted but his word was cut when the car start to move forward.
"Casy! Sweety! Wake up! Raiko is waiting for you outside! You gonna be late to your first class!" My mom shouted from the outside of my room.
ughhh!
I almost forgot !, It's our first day in our College life.
I quickly got up and went next to my Flatscreen tv, where the mini Ref was. I took 1 bottle of miniral water and drank it. Then I went straight to my walk-in closet where Mom prepared my Uniform last night and then after I grabbed my Shirt, Blazer, Tie and Dark Gray Skirt and went immidiately to Confort room to get ready ...
.....
After I cleaned myself up, I hurried downstairs to eat breakfast. As soon as I went downstairs we smelled Bacon and Fried eggs and various other things Yaya Linda was cooking for our day- breakfast day.
"There she is," I heard mom said while pointing at me.
And there I saw a handsome man wearing his Uniform which is white long sleeve polo with his dark gray tie and matched with his black jeans and also matched with his black shoes that fit him even more with his brown eyes that are covered of the round glass where it was always wearing, that was my bestfriend Raiko, waving at me and wearing his genuine smile.
"Good Morning!" I greet them all, I just kiss my Mom and give Raiko my sweet smile.
"Children, sit down and eat so that you can leave earlier" Yaya Linda said with a smile.
"All right" I answered and went in the front of the long glass table where my Daddy was sitting at the end of it from my Right and my Mom at the end of the table from my Left side and Me and Raiko were sitting side by side.
....
"Were done Mom we need to go" I said to My Mom.
"Ok then bye sweetie be safe, huh?" My mom said with a smile on her face.
"Bye mom and Bye dad" I said
"Bye po Tito and Tita Claire thanks for the food po" Raiko said.
And after that we went outside.
"So .... How about Let me give you a free ride young lady?" Raiko said.
"Why not?" I answered and chuckled.
Before getting into Raiko's car and he grabbed the passenger door and opened it for me. and said,
"Come in young lady"
"Wow, huh? Acting like a gentleman?" I said with a sarcastic tone.
And finally I was sitting in the passenger beside with this handsome man.
After a while I looked at my wrist watch and looked at the time.
7:01 am.
'I just didn't realize that Raiko and I had a close face, and even her breathing made her feel.
What?! ....
Wait ?!
"What are you doin '?" I asked.
"You forgot to wear on your seatbelt?" He answered with a sarcastic tone and Greened.
And He put my seatbelt on and I just stared at him.
"Don't stare" He said.
"No Im not" I answerd.
"Ok you said eh" He said wearing his insulting-smile.
"We have 3 hours, a trip before arriving at UHC, maybe you can rest first, obviously your sleep is slowing down" Raiko said.
"Ok then just wake me up if we are close ah" I answerd.
He just gave me a smile.
I open my phone and put my earphones on.
A young girl crying her two hands covered the girl's face. as it sat on an old bench near the road it did not care to get wet wearing its Golden Cocktail Dress and its shoes were no longer a partner while its hair should have been arranged curly now it looks like It's not a week combing.
It continues to cry as the rain gets heavier accompanied by the thunderstorm.
A familiar voice of the boy spoke which stopped the girl from crying.
"Are you crying?" The little boy asked.
Instead of the girl being happy because they finally met again, she cried even more, especially when the boy was confused.
"Wuaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!" The little girl cried.
" Don't cry! your making me nervous!" The boy cried.
After a while, the girl continued to cry.
"Hey stop crying!" The boy said as he shook the girl's two shoulders.
A drop of tears dripped on the girl's hand, even though it was raining she knew it was a tear and not a drop of rain that caused the girl to stop crying.
He removed the two hands she had previously covered her face when she heard a sob coming from his companion.
"A-are..you crying?" The girl asked the boy who was already crying, but the boy still ignored her and continued to cry. Until the girl thought that ...
"Hiyaaaaaaa!" the girl shouted before kicking the boy in the stomach which caused him to stop crying and at the same time throw it in the middle of the Road.
The girl even cried when she realized that her kick against the boy had intensified, so she quickly stood up and approached the boy.
But when he approached the boy, a boy smiled with joy. Until it rolls in the middle of the road while laughing and kicking its foot in the air, it does not care if its expensive clothes are dirty.
"Hey you Idiot stand up!" The girl shouted at the boy and he immediately followed her but there was still a smile on her lips.
"Why are you suddenly crying!" The girl shouted.
"It's you ... you confuse me, you don't want to stop crying .... so I cried too" The boy replied while he was still sulking.
"Crazy" whispered the girl.
The girl went back to the old bench and sat it down. The boy followed her and he also sat next to the girl.
"So why are you crying?" The boy asked.
The girl first turned her gaze to the seated boy and then spoke.
"Actually I came from a Competition-" The girl cut her word when suddenly the boy spoke again.
"Little Miss Tarlac?" The little boy added.
"Yeah ... Wait how do you know?" The girl asked with her confusion.
"Duh ... Maybe I live here in Tarlac" The boy answered with his sarcastic tone.
"Ok ..." The girl added and rolled her eyes.
"Continue," The boy said.
"They say I will not win the competition because among of all contestants Im was the Ugliest that's why I decided to leave that place." The girl answered with a sad tone.
"That's it? That was the most nonsense reason I've ever heard" The boy said.
"No ... Actually that was not big deal for me ..." The girl added.
"Huh?" The boy said with confusion in his voice.
"My Dad ... He will get mad ... He said before my Competition that I must win the Competition because he does not want to ruin the name Harris among the people, he does not want people saying bad things here." The girl said.
"what is the merit of that competition and your father is eager to win?" The little boy asked.
"My Dad he wants me to win in the Compitetion so that my name will be the name of this place" The little girl said.
"Before, My Mom win the Competition like this, And before my Mom name was named on this place and that's what My Dad wants to happen." The little girl added.
Instead of the boy speaking, he let the girl talk to him first.
"They also said that no one will want to merry me someday cuz I'm ugly." The little girl said and at the same time the heavy rain that mixed with the tears continued to flow down the girl's cheeks.
The boy got up from his seat and went in front of the crying woman.
"Your so beautiful, Your so pretty, Your so georgeous, Your so charming, Your have good-looking and in this cruel world you are the girl that i want to marry someday" The little boy said with his genuine smile. That make the little girl stop crying.
Out of shock, the little girl hugged the little boy so tight that make him so comfortable.
"Thank you ..... Thank you for everything ..... please don't leave me alone" The little girl stopped crying and so did the rushing rain and the thundering lightning.
"I can't promise you that I will never leave you alone, but someday if destiny cross our path again. If that will happen I will promise you, never leave you alone and marry you for the rest of my life" The little boy said.
"Cass wake up were here" Raiko said.
I just hid in agreement,
"Get up and fix yourself" Raiko added before go outside of the car.
"Haaayst! I think I have a headache!" Slowly squeezing my sinuses.
"Hey Cass faster 25 min. And we were gonna be late" Raiko said.
"Coming!" I shouted and at the same time opened the door of the passenger seat and went out to enter my first class.
........
While walking since Raiko and I got out of his car almost everything. students murmured, the whispers grew louder when Raiko took me to the Business Management Building (or BMB).
"Look !, the boy was so handsome"
