Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Chapter 7 - Her Innocence

In the hotel room….

After consuming one bottle of wine, he heard the pitter-patter sounds from outside. In a drunken state, he was swinging and slowly walked steadily towards the windows. He opened the window and looked out with his glossy and red eyes. 

" I hated Rain which reminds me of that bitch..." He muttered.

Again he walked towards the nightstand and poured some wine in the glass. He sipped the wine and blankly looked into the glass. He sat on the edge of the bed holding the wine glass.

" I hate you...Kathie. I hate you….from the bottom of my broken heart ", he said looking at the glass while alone tears fell from his right eye in the wine.

Then he gulped all the wine in the glass and hit the wall in the room. The glass broke into small pieces. He laid on the bed touching his back while his legs were hanging to the floor. 

He stared at the rain through the window, turning his head, and smiled sadly. He closed his eyes and remembered his first meeting with Katherine on a rainy night.

SIX YEARS BACK….his memories

It was raining heavily and the road was dark, only a few street lights were ON. Ardian was going back after dropping his best friend, Thomas, at his home.

He noticed a car halted on the side of the road. Ardian stopped the bike as he noticed an old man checking the car while opening the engine door. He also noticed a girl holding Umbrella to the old man could not be drenched in the rain.

" Hey….shall I help you," he asked the old man.

" Do you know how to repair the car?" The old man asked Ardian.

" Yeah….I am a student of Mechanic engineering. I can find out the problem and also repair it if there is no problem with the parts of the car" Ardian said confidently.

On the other side, the girl who was standing beside the old man fisted the hem of her skirt. He noticed her long milky legs which are covered up to her knees. But he turned his head to concentrate on the problem of the car.

Ardian checked the engine and identified a blocked exhaust which is the reason for the running of the car. He tried to remove the block but suddenly he heard a sweet voice beside him.

" Uncle...can you bring my leather coat from the back seat? I am feeling cold " She asked the old man.

" Sure madam. I will bring it for you. "  the old man went to bring what she asked for.

" Mister. Don't repair the car. I want to enjoy this weather. Please go" she requested.

He was so curious to know who the girl is who wants to enjoy the rain late at night. 

He raised his head and looked at the girl. He was mesmerized to see her beauty. She wore a white shirt and blue knee-length skirt. Even in the darkness, her milky white face was glowing like a moon in the night. 

" Please...don't repair the car. " she pleaded and her eyes were begging to him. 

" But this place is not safe as it is on the outskirts of the city. " He reasoned.

She pouted her strawberry lips and looked sad. He noticed tears in her eyes and his heart melted. 

A few minutes later, the old man came with the leather coat. She took the coat from the old man and looked at Ardian angrily. 

" Uncle...It's dark and raining. I cannot see where the block is. We need light to fix it. Do you have any torch with you?" He asked the Old man.

" No…" the old man replied.

" Okay then, I can not help you…" Ardian said, looking at the girl.

She smiled at Ardian and thanked him with her eyes. He smiled back at her without the old man noticing. 

" Bye…" saying, Ardian started his bike.

" Excuse me, young man…" the old man called him.

" I need your help…" the old man asked, looking at the girl. 

" Can you drop our madam at her home? You know it is not safe for the girl to stay in the night especially at this place…" the old man requested Ardian.

He looked at the girl and nodded his head.

" Yes. It is not safe to be alone for such a beautiful girl like her…" he mumbled to himself.

" Young man. If you don't mind, will you drop her?" The old man asked him.

" I have no problem if she wants to come with me," Ardian said.

" Okay, Uncle. I will go with him.  Aunt Lisa might be worried about me. " she agreed. 

" Okay. I will stay in the car, " the old man replied.

She walked towards Ardian and introduced herself as KATHERINE DAVIS.

" Hi. I am Ardian Wilson." He extended his hand towards her.

She created weird feelings in his body with her touch. His whole body became hot. 

She waved her hand to her old driver and hopped on his bike by placing her legs on both sides of the bike. His heart was pounding as if it were a train on the tracks.

He came back to reality when she placed her hands on his shoulder and asked him to stop the bike.

He stopped the bike and turned his head. He looked at her skeptically.

" Thank you for not repairing the car. I am bored of car rides. I want to enjoy this rain, especially the first rain of the season, " she said with a smile and got down the bike. 

She extended her arms and started spinning round and round like a small child.

He smiled at her innocent talk and forgot to blink his eyes when her white shirt sticks to her body showing her perfect curves. He was never attracted to any girl in his entire life.  He doesn't know when he fell for her that day.

" What an innocent soul," he thought.

…..

….

Ardian opened his eyes with the sound of thunderstorms. 

" You are not an innocent girl, Katherine. You are a cruel bitch who only knows to play with the hearts of the people. " Ardian screamed as his voice echoed in his room.

" I will take my revenge on you," saying he closed his eyes.
