Chapter 61: Chapter 61

It’s been a week since Reign called me. After that day, he did not call me back again. I was wondering what happened to him. What happened about the raid thing they are talking about last time? Is Reign safe and sound? What is he doing now? I can’t help but worry about him.

I let out a deep sigh and then continued washing my body. I know that Reign was fine, and I don’t need to worry myself about him. I was currently in the bathroom, taking a shower. I still can’t forget Reign’s last words, and it keeps coming inside my mind that made me flustered.

I calmed myself and immediately finished washing my body. I went out of the bathroom afterward and got dressed. Then I sitting on the bed as I dry my hair with a towel; I told the other maids that I can handle myself, and they don’t have to blower my hair every time I finished taking a batch since I can do it for own.

I took another deep sigh and turned my eyes on the bedside table.  I stared at the phone placed above it, expecting it to ring suddenly and the call will be coming from Reign’s number. I shook my head.

I should not think about him. He said that he would come back, so I need to wait for that time to come. I put down the towel on the bed, stand, and walk towards the bedside table and take the phone. I opened the phone and looked at the time; it’s already seven in the evening.

Other than Reign, I was also worried about my little sister. Reign told me everything is already handled, and I need not worry, but I still can’t. I still don’t know how Reign found out that I had a sister, but maybe he found out right away about my life because of the connection he had. Hopefully, he doesn’t know what happened in my sister and I’s life.

Fortunately, my cellphone was left at home when I was abducted so I can call my sister and ask about her situation. I trust Reign’s words, but I want to make sure. No matter what happens, my sister is still the one in question here.

I should have called in the first place if I have a phone in me. I dialed my phone’s number, and fortunately, it rang. As the water slowly drips down from my hair, my heartbeat also gets more robust with each ring my call on the other line makes. Until the server speaks, no one picks the phone from the other line.

I was nervous, but I didn’t give up. This is my opportunity to talk with my sister and check about her safety. The same thing happens from the latter. I dialed again, thinking that my sister was using the toilet or sleeping since it’s already evening and it was already for the tenth time, but no one answered from the other line.

I was putting back the phone on the table while my shoulders were both down. I sat on the bed again and let out another deep sigh. I can’t help but overthink. What if something happened to my sister? If that’s so, I can’t take it.

I reached for the phone again, and this time, I dialed Reign’s number. I wanted to make sure that he was also safe and maybe, I can ask about my sister’s current situation.

“The person you are trying to reach is unavailable. Please try again later,” after the server speaker; the call turned into a beeping tone. I tightened the grip on the phone I was holding and then lay my body on the bed.

I can feel my wet hair touching the bedsheet and flowing down to my shoulders; I rested my hands on my chest and felt the furious beating of my heart. I was staring at the blue ceiling while my other hand is holding the phone.

What could have happened to Reign and my sister? It’s also been a week since I last heard the voice of Reign and the last time we talk. I forgot to ask about my sister’s condition in the past weeks. I sigh again.

I hope they are on good terms. I leaned over and let go of the phone in my hands. I hugged myself while thinking things. I tried to remove the worry from my chest and mind. I shifted the center of my thoughts and thought on how I felt about Reign and his love for me, especially in what he said last week.

“I am possessive, and you are my possession. I need to go. I love you, my woman,” I said, trying to sound like Reign, but I failed because of my soft voice and being a woman. I can’t help but giggles and rolls in the bed.

“Being in love sometimes makes a person silly,” I hissed to myself. I can feel how my cheeks heat as I think about Reign’s love for me. It’s so good to be true! I turned my body and faced the ceiling while reaching for the pillow and hugged it tightly as I could.

I had never been flustered like this before. I will feel these things when my little sister hugs me, kiss me on the cheek and forehead, or when she makes an effort for me, such as making me her ideal hero in school events.

Unexpected things will indeed come in their way without you expecting them. I stopped myself from being overwhelmed and then smiled. I can’t help it! I’m not like this before, but I can’t also blame my feelings.

Love is compelling wherein it can drive a person into someone new and do your search for the true essence of the world. I can’t help my amusement that everything I read about love is true! I laughed at the thought when I remembered one time how being in love makes me sick.

This time has come that I, Ruchee, need to swallow my pride and apologize for that time because I was in love with a billionaire. I didn’t notice that I was having heavy thoughts, and because of that, I wasn’t aware that drowsiness visited me.

“Ruru,” I woke up because of the tiny hands gently shaking my shoulders. Not because of the gesture but the familiar voice that was calling a name. I slowly opened my eyes and was immediately greeted by the blue ceiling.

“Ruru,” I stopped and awakened my spirit because of the voice. Am I dreaming? I did not look in the direction where the voice came from because I want to make sure that I’m entirely wide awake. Without any hesitations, I slap my cheeks as hard as I could then turned my eyes in front of me.

I see a young girl with curly brunette hair, upturned eyes, pinkish lips, and stature up to my waist. I was stunned. Is this real or just a dream? I pinched myself hard.

“Ouch,” I hissed because it hurts.

“Ruru! Are you okay?” said the girl and immediately climbed on the bed and approached me then hugged me tightly, “I miss you!” she then kissed my cheeks that made me flustered.

I looked ahead when I heard footsteps and saw Reign leaning against the door. He then smiled at me when our eyes met’s each other. My lips were parted as I turned my eyes back to the young girl in front of me.

My hands were shaking as I put them on both of the young girl’s cheeks, “Is this true, or I’m just having a daydream?” I asked while gently squeezing the young girl’s cheeks. She smiled and held my hands; she then brought her face closer to mine and kissed me on the tip of my nose.

“It’s me, Ruru! You are not dr--” I cut the young girl’s words and then hugged her tightly. I can’t stop, and my tears flow down from my eyes. My heart was beating so fast because of happiness!

“I miss you, sweety. Ruru missed you so much,” I said between my tears. I caressed her hair and kissed it. This is too much happiness! I was currently hugging my little sister, Russiana, whom I did not reach on the call earlier!

I looked at Reign, and he was smiling at us. Thanks to him that I can meet with my beloved younger sister.
