Chapter 28
ARIANA'S POV
It was finally departure time.We had spent the past two days together. Laughing, joking, talking, making plans.And we knew it was the last time. We had to depart seeing how dangerous it was if someone discovered us.Last night,Max had proposed to Leena in front of us. It was the loveliest proposal I ever saw and she agreed had to marry him.
They both looked at Rick and I in expectation but we simply shook our heads,'No'.
"You both have no plans of being together?", Leena had asked surprised.
"No!",Rick and I chorused.
I smiled and held Rick's hands.
"We've been through a lot together Rick"
"And we've been such stack enemies for a very long time,it'll be hard to develop a romantic relationship between us",Rick concluded.
I nodded in agreement.
"But we both have decided to be the best of friends. Being held together by these in
(Author's POV)...SIX YEARS LATER..."Get back here Ariana!",Leena yelled at her 4 year old daughter.Little Ariana laughed nonchalantly and ran off making her mother go after her laughing too.She was every inch just like her name sake Ariana Williams.Max and Leena had gotten married after two years of being separated from Rick and Ariana.They both lived at a far away town,where Leena was not totally recognized as a musician or super star.Their marriage was what you could call a blessing,with a beautiful daughter.But Leena was never totally happy. She wanted more than anything to get a chance to see Ariana and Rick again.She wanted Ariana to meet her goddaughter who they had named after her.Above all, Leena missed her father.Leena still didn't know her mother's way about and she sincerely didn't want to know. To her,life was better now,at least she could live according to her own will.
PROLOGUE LEENA'S POVMy phone beeped and a text from Maxxy came in. "Come to the blueberry garden"I blushed a little. Maxxy enjoyed spending time with me at that garden but today the weather wasn't pleasant, it looked like it's going to rain soon. So I texted him back. "It's going to rain soon" "Just come, I want to watch the rain with you", he texted back.I smiled, blushing again Maxxy knows just how to make me happy. I quickly got ready and left for the garden.I stood there waiting patiently for him.After about 10mins, there was no sign of maxxy. I got up nervously as the rain began to fall first in small droplets and then the large drops drained my hair.I suddenly caught sight of a man, but I coul
Chapter 1 ARIANA'S POVI tried forcing my eye open,feeling a slight pain at the back of my head. The throbbing headache I felt was being calmed by someone Patting my hair, caressing it softly.It's definitely Dad, no one else could be so close to me right now.I opened my eyes and tried to look at the person on whose laps I was resting. At first I thought I was just seeing things, but when I actually opened my eyes, it was him, it was this bastard!"Rick!!!", I yelled jumping up in anger.What is this murderer doing here?, even caressing me?" You're awake Leena ",he said softly trying to touch me.I beat his hands away in utter anger." How dare you try to touch me?, are you mad?, you fool!, You murderer ",
Chapter 2 LEENA'S POVI stared at Maxxy confused and hurt. Why would he bring up my dad's issue?,he knows how much I miss him,mom killed him....no,I don't want to talk about that now.I turned to Maxxy pissed off."Stop talking trash and take me home Maxwell!""Who is Maxwell?",he asked looking sincerely confused.I dragged him and turned his arm,he didn't have that scar and tatto on the back of his arm. This person isn't Maxxy,but damn he's Maxxy.I mean he really looks like him.Same eyes,same nose,ear,face and damn same lips....those lips that attracted me wholly to him,strong and sensual."Where am I please?" ,I asked the confusion eating me up."Have you suddenly forgotten where you from miss?,Zino village!",he half yelled at me." Zino village?",I repeated again in confusion.Where is Zino village?,
Chapter 3 LEENA'S POV"What do you mean by you don't know your way home?" Rick asked.I'm now used to calling him Rick because he certainly isn't Maxxy,no matter how strickening the resemblance is."I'm serious. Ok,just take me home. Do me this one favor and I won't trouble you again",I said"Are you okay Ariana?,like I should take you home?. Don't you know your way home?""Look,you have to believe me,I'm not Ariana,I'm really not Ariana""Then who are you?a dog?,cow?,goat?",he asked smirking."Yes I'm a dog,cow and goat",I replied and walked closer to him taking his hands."Please,I'm lost here. Just take me home. I want to see my Dad"I could see in his eyes that he softened at my touch. After awhile he agreed to and we both walked 'home'.When we got there,a man was sitting at the veranda. Not just
Chapter 4 LEENA'S POVI sat over the fire with Dad.My Dad,I've so missed him that it makes my heart ache right now."Do you want bacon Dad?" ,I asked and he looked up from the paper he was holding."Bacon?,since when did you know how to make Bacon?"he asked looking at me strangely."I....i....emm...emmm...Rick taught me",I lied,a very stupid lie but don't blame me,Rick's the only name I know here."Rick?,and since when did you become friends with him?""Dad....we're not friends,but I mean,I'm just em.....uhmm..",i shuttered not knowing what to say."Are you alright Ariana?",he asked softly.I smiled,a little tear flickee from my eye,I've missed this fatherly voice. I've missed my Dad carrying me fondly,I miss having a parent.Dont even talk about my mom,she's worst,really worst."I'm fine daddy.....
Chapter 5 LEENA'S POVI went in search of Rick. I needed to talk to him so Dad won't know I'm not really Ariana.I turned to an old woman passing by"Mam,do you know where I can find Rick?",I asked.She looked strangely at me for something and laughed."Wanna blow his intestines out?,I wouldn't tell you so the cops won't hold me down" she said walking out..I looked at her in confusion. What does she mean by "...blow his Intestines out"?I waved it off and kept looking buh no one wanted to tell me. According to them,I and Rick always loved to cause trouble even for them..I stopped at a Road side ice cream shop,the man standing there looks familiar but I waved it away, I'm sure I don't know anyone here."Sir, I'm... actually..I'm.. looking for Rick",I said stuttering."Wanna make his nose bleed?",he teased.I smiled nervousl
Chapter 6 LEENA'S POVAfter a few lectures from Rick,he told me that Ariana teaches Taekwondo. I was seriously taken aback."How can a girl fight kung fu?",I asked alarmed."Girls around here are good in kung fu""That's strange,it's not feminine to fight"."Don't girls learn kung fu in your world",he asked Mockingly,he obviously stressed the world in his statement."We don't,we act gentle and noble. We're city girls of course. What we do is dress city latest fashion,that's makes us female".He started laughing. After a while he shook his head at me."You've gone crazy""I know",I replied,what's the use arguing with him?We soon got to the Taekwondo center,I looked around confused,I don't even know what Taekwondo means. I was hesitant at first but Rick urged me further."Ms.Ariana!!",one of t
