When she found Matt Simons, Rain Zane was sure that she found everything she ever wanted. She was freshman on Faculty of Law and he was youg enthusiast in software researching company. It was love at first sight. Rain wasn't really interested in law, that was her father's wish. After her father passed away, Rain went to Faculty of Law just to fulfill his desire. But when she met Matt, aspiration to accomplish that desire was decreasing, while there was a new one-to spend rest of her life with her new love. Rain felt like she found some kind of replacement for her beloved father. When she's got pregnant, they decided to marry. Her mother wasn't really into that but Rain never was concerned with her mother's opinion. Even her best girlfriend Tonia wasn't content but, since Rain decided, she had to respect her choice. Wedding was beautiful. Young couple went to live in house that Rain's father bought for his daughter few years ago. Several months later, their daughter Alice was born. Everything was just perfect.
CHAPTER 1 - Two Fake People At the beginning Matt was always doing some cute things for her; wake her up in the middle of the night just to tell her that he love her, book the surprise vacation on beautiful island and dance with her beyond the starry sky. But, along with winter, the cold arrived in their perfect home. He was always occupied with his work, working late in his work-room, in front of the computer, and whatever Rain tried to do to recieve a little bit of his attention was not enough. She started to paint; that was her dream before she went to Faculty of Law-to became an artist. But then there always was her parents tellin' her that from art there is no bread so she abandon that desire for a while. Now she was free to do whatever she want.
There was many nights where Rain was in bed alone, and Matt was working so Rain started to ask herself did she made a mistake and commit herself to soon? Maybe she had to work on her own career?
"Sweetie, our child and this house is your career. You know there is a lot of work that need's to be done. Let me to earn the money." used to say Matt.
"But you're always working Matt, I want to spend more time with you. Why are you trying so hard? We have enough money..."
"That's your father's money!" he raised the voice. "Sorry sweetie, soon I will be general executor of the company and we will spend more time together, I promise." That was enough to satisfy her for a moment.
That day Matt was on the business trip and Alice was watched by nanny, so Rain decided to took a little time for herself and do some shopping and coffe with her BF. She bought a present for Matt-provocatively and gorgeous underwear that-she hopes-will live him without a choice and raise the fire in their love life when he comes back home.
"Hy, darling!" said Rain while sitting opposite to Tonia. She noticed that Tonia is uncommonly silent and like something is on her mind that bothers her. Tonia was Rain's best friend since they were in highschool. They shared everything; tears, laugh and first love experiences, from hapiness to sadness, from bether to worse. She was her shoulder to cry on, her support in every decision she made. She was like a sister to her.
"Hey, what's up?" Said Tonia trying to sound happy.
"I bought stunning underwear for Matt; do you want to see it?"
"Actually..."
"Oh, what would I order? Tea maybe? Or coffe...?
"Rain, I have to tell you something."
"Ok, don't you wanna see my underwear first? I know..."
"Rain, I have an affair..."
"What? And you are hiding it from me, who is he, what..."
"With Matt."
"His name is Matt?"
"He is Matt. Your husband."
While she's was walking home minutes seems to be like hours; Rain was still in
discredit; Tonia was her's best friend, why she would do that? At first Rain doesn't wanted to believe what Tonia is saying, but then Tonia put on the table an envelope that seemed to be holding pictures with Matt and her inside and that was it. She told her that she and Matt have an affair for a few months-and that really fits in with all Matt's working hours and all the time that he haven't got for her. That time was dedicated to her best friend! Rain was so upset that she left her new bought underwear in coffe shop-well, she tought, now Tonia can wear it for her husband! She doesn't want to watch pictures of her husband with another woman, that was actually her best friend! That was so ugly, inappropriate and unnecessary from somebody who supposed to be her friend. Thousand of questions was in her head, thousand confused thoughts; should she wait for Matt to explain her everything? But she don't have enought strenght to face him right now. She don't have time to wait for him to; she will go nutz!
So she packed up few necessary things, took Alice and call the cab leaving to Matt single note "I know for your affair. I will be at my mother, don't call me."
"Mommy, where are we goin'?" asked Alice.
"We are going to visit grandma."
"Daddy isn't coming with us?"
"No...daddy has to work."
"I don't wanna go to grandma...she is driving me crazy, I had to brush my teeth three times a day. And I'm not aloud to watch the television."
"We'll manage that. But you have a bunch of animals you could play with!"
"Yeah! But when will daddy come?"
"I don't know dear. He has to work a lot."
Entering the cab Rain felt like her's heart is tearing to pieces. There was whole one life she's living behind. Another change was approaching and she didn't know if this road would be finally right for her.
"Hy mom!" said Rain approaching her mother's house. Her mother, mrs. Danielle was rigorous, heavy and starchy old woman unlike her dad.
D: "Hello dear" replied she with mounted smile. "The butler will took your luggage." The butler Jon was in their family since Rain was born, and she still called him "a butler".
D: "So, how long will you stay here? I have so much job in greenhouse this year. And cats are so demanding, uh. Please, follow me into bedroom."
Bedroom was exactly like Rain remembered it was.
D: "I was hoping you will visit me with Matt more oftenly so I put the crib in for Alice. Child must sleep wih her parents. But, since you were very busy..."
R: "Matt was busy..."
D: "Sure he was."
Rain was not in the mood to talk with her mother about her ruined marriage but mother was pressing. Sitting in a livingroom, she opens a whole monologue about Rain's life mistakes.
D: "You never should marry that guy. I told you so. You left your career and now what? You're single woman with child and without career. And that friend of yours, Tonia, I never liked her. You should be more like me; you're like your father, so stubborn and unthinking. That's why he passed away so soon and live me with this house and thousand of things i should care about, like his stupid dog..."
R: " He died because of cancer, how can you speak in that way?"
D: " You see? He was unthinking, that's what I say! He never cared about his health and his wife!"
That was so selfish and untrue but Rain hasn't got strenght to argue with her mother right now.
There were two things her mother care about; her cats, her greenhouse...and again her cats. Rain tried not to encounter with her mother too much, and dedicate herself to Alice and painting. Alice often asked where is daddy, but Rain answers he has to work feeling terrible because of lying to her daughter. Matt called few times, but Rain hasn't got strenght to talk to him yet.
She often took Alice to the playground trying to occupy her minds that she don't ask for her father. Like every other day, she sits and start to read newspapers when she saw Alice with some guy who is holding her hand.
R: "Excuse me, what are you doing with my child?"
A: "Look mommy, this is my new friend! His name is Nikki and..."
N: "Excuse me Mam, I should introduce myself first; I'm Nikki, and you have wonderful daughter..."
R: "Yes, I know, thank you. We should go home..."
A: "No, mommy..."
N: "Look, I'm not some kind of psycho who will took your daughter or something, we were just playing..."
He was cute though, catch Rain herself in a thought but shakes her head wanting to whip off that thought away.
R: "We should go home. Nice to meet you, Nick."
N: "It's Nikki. Hoping to see you again."
However, Nikki made some kind of change in Rain; every time she was in park with Alice, he was there. They start to hang out playing together with Alice, go in long walks with Rain's dog Maya and talking almoust about everything. When Nikki ask her to dinner together, she accept.
D: "I don't agree with your behavior." said Rain's mom during Rain was preparing for a dinner with Nikki. "You are married woman."
R: "Sure, but we both know in what condition is my marriage now, right?"
D: "You have a child too."
R: "Yes mom, I'm aware of it. Nikki and I are just friends. Can I have friends here?"
D: "Do what you want. But I'm against it."
However, that was not nothing new.
Nikki took her to the dinner in a beautiful restaurant and Rain didn't slipt away a little romantic note of it all. They talk about each other; he was a musician and moved in town few days before Rain did. She told him about her marriage and Matt's affair. But she wasn't ready for any kind of intimacy right now. Nikki was aware of that; he drived her home and kissed in a cheek.
N: "I had a wonderful time. Hope we will repeat that. Good night Rain."
R: "Good night Nikki."
Rain entered in a house without a clue of what she would find inside; in a livingroom was Matt, together with her mother.
R: "Mother what is this?"
M: "Rain, whe should talk."
R: "Mother? Why did you let him inside?"
D: "Because I think that you two had few things to discuss about. Not that I'm supporting this marriage, but the child needs a father."
Danielle lives the room and Matt took Rain's hands.
"Sweetie, I think we had a great misunderstanding. I tried to call you for so many times but no one was answering. Today your mother told me to come here, so that's why I'm here. I want to tell you something; I don't have an affair; why did you thought that? Is it because the work? Cause if it is, I will try to spend more time with you..."
R: "It's because Tonia told me."
M: "What did she told you?"
R: "That you're two in affair."
M: "What? Tonia and me? You know I even don't like her..."
R: "But why would she told me something like that if it wasn't true? She also had some pictures of you two..."
M: "Pictures? Have you seen them?"
R: "Well, I wasn't..."
M: "Because if you not, there is no evidence right? Sweetie, there is no pictures cause we never had been together without you; there is no affair cause I even don't like her and I love you so much! We have a child, damn it. Please, pick up your things and come back home with me. I miss you, I miss Alice."
R: "I don't know...I had to think. I have to talk to Tonia. Cause if you're talking the truth, I don't have any idea why would she lied about it. Please, give me few more days, I had to think."
M: "If that's your wish..."
R: "Yes, it is."
M: "Can I see Alice?"
R: "She is sleeping Matt. Please, go home now."
After Matt has left, Rain took the phone and called Tonia but no one was answering. Then she called her mother.
"Hello mrs. Durry, is Tonia at your place? I tried to reach her but...what do you mean, she's disappeared? You are searching for her for a week? Have you inform the police? Uh...just calm down mrs. Durry, I'm sure she will be back soon. Please, keep me informed about the investigation."
Rain hangs up the phone with big questionnaire above her head.
"What d'....where is she? What is happening?":rabbit:
