CHAPTER 12 (Part 1)

Talliah Eryn Castillego POV

MY HEART clenched when I saw my baby turning his back against me. I was about to run after him when someone grabbed my arm.

I gritted my teeth when Spence held my arm tightly.

"Where are you going?" Spence asked with his confused face.

I breathe hard to calm myself. Calm down Talliah you are here at the Mall. Don't cause a scene here.

I shoved Spence's hand away and quickly released his grip on my arm.

"I need to go." I uttered coldly while looking at his face. I saw how his eyes darkened but I didn't mind it instead I turned around to run after Rainer.

Damn baby why are you running away from me?! His hurt brown eyes didn't leave my mind. His hurt face kept flashing inside my head. I closed my eyes tightly and ran faster.

Some people looked at me weirdly because I was running so fast. Even though I'm tall, Rainer is still taller than me and he has bigger steps compared to me.

I ran even faster when I saw him leaving the Mall. I didn't think about the things I bought that I haven't paid yet because it's more important to me right now to catch up with him.

Baby, don't think of something wrong. You're wrong, I'm not the one who hugged Spence. He hugged me! I'm so sorry, baby.

"Rainer!" I shouted at the top of my lungs when I saw Rainer holding the door of the Mall.

I closed my eyes in annoyance when he finally got out of the door, he didn't even hear my scream. Someone else who had just arrived looked at me.

I felt frustrated when I saw him on the glass window finding a taxi. I was even more depressed when I saw that he quickly found a taxi and quickly got inside.

I pulled my hair frustratedly. What now? Why did it suddenly become like this? We were still happy earlier! But why did it suddenly become like this?

I can't quite figure out why Spence showed up all of a sudden. In the course of time why now? And why does he have to hug me? What came to his mind and he suddenly hugged me inside the Mall. Is he out of his mind!

I took my cellphone from my pocket. I looked for Rainer's number and when I found it I wasted no time and quickly called him.

I put the phone beside my ears. Hope bloomed inside my chest when I heard my phone ring. Please Rainer answer the damn call. Let's talk. We need to talk.

The hope I felt instantly vanished when he canceled my call. I closed my eyes in annoyance and called him again. My lips trembled when he again canceled my call. I still did not lose hope and called him again. But my chest tightened when I couldn't contact him.

He probably turned off his phone.

I run my palms on my face frustratedly and quickly left the mall. I wasted no time and quickly got into my car. While I was driving I called Tita. Please Tita answer my call. My face brightened when she answered my call in just three rings.

"Hello Tita." I muttered lowly while still driving.

I heard the person on the other line move before she answered "Hello Eryn, is this you?" Tita asked on the other line.

I quickly nodded even though she couldn't see me "Yes Tita, is Rainer at your house?"

"He's not here, I thought you were together? Didn't you let me know that you're together? But why did he suddenly text me that he won't be coming home. Are the both of you okay?" Tita asked worriedly.

My heart suddenly ached when I found out that he was not at their house. Rainer where the hell are you?

"Yes Tita, we're fine. Did he tell you where he's going?" I asked nervously while turning the car.

"My son, he didn't say that. He just said that he's okay and he will come home soon."

I lost hope because of Tita's answer. Where the hell on earth should I find you Rainer!

"Okay, Tita. Thank you." I thanked Tita and ended our call.

After I ended our call. I quickly called Jazzy just in case she wilk answer my call. Jazzy I need you right now. I need your help. Please answer my call.

I hit the steering wheel because I couldn't contact Jazzy. Jazzy where are you? Why can't I contact you? Why are you always unattended.

I clenched my fists when I thought of the person who caused the man I love to suddenly run away from me. Why did I see pain in his eyes?

I laughed out loud when I thought that he had just answered me and then this happened immediately.

I want to shout out my frustrations. But first I need to find Rainer so that I can explain. That he saw wrong. That he thinks wrong.

It shouldn't be like this. We shouldn't run to each other when we have problems. We should talk so that we can fix our problems immediately.

My lips parted when my eyes caught a figure of a girl that I knew very well.

What is she doing in that park?

I blinked my eyes several times if I wasn't mistaken. When I was sure that it was her, I slowly stopped the car beside a tree while not taking my eyes off the person sitting on the grass of the park.

I climbed out of the car and slowly closed the door.

I never take my eyes off the person I never thought I would see in this place.

It's a quiet children's park. Not many people come to this area because it is not well maintained and there are other new parks that have been built. So people rarely comes here.

I just wonder why she's here. I saw a man walking away from the woman.

The woman followed the man until he disappeared from her sight. I saw the woman look up at the sky before she slowly lay down on the clean and green grass.

The afternoon wind caressed my skin as I walked towards the girl I had been looking for. Was she just here all along? Is she that busy? For her to not answer my calls?

When I was only a few feet away from the woman. I stopped. I stared at her calm face while her eyes were still closed. The ray of the sun is touching her pretty face.

"I called you so many times. But you're unattended. You're just here." I said weakly while watching her reaction.

Slowly she opened her eyes and blinked many times to see if I was real. When she realized I was real, she took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry queen.I turned off my phone. Why do you have a problem?" Jazzy asked me curiously.

I took a deep breath before slowly sitting next to her. Whatever the reason why she's here I will not ask. I respect her privacy. And about the man I saw earlier I don't know him. I just saw Jazzy with a guy. I hope one day she will open up to me and tell her own story. After all I treat her as my friend. Jazzy is also important to me. She's also part of my life.

I looked up in the clear sky and watched how the birds fly freely. Baby where are you? I'm worried. I hope you're okay. I will not forgive myself if something bad happens to you.
