Me And The Mysterious Man's
Chapter 44 - A Statement of Love At Rainy Times

David returned home with a sullen face. Especially after hearing from Jonas that Becca has returned home. He immediately stepped into his daughter's room.

"Becca, open the door!" said David while playing the handle of the door that is being locked.

In the room, Becca is eliminating all evidence about Jack. Including hiding the clothes that Jack gave her to a safe place. Then he immediately opened the door.

"Where were you last night?" timpal David with a sharp look.

"I-I spent the night at Tara's house" Becca replied reluctantly. Unable to return his father's gaze.

David holds Becca's shoulder, then makes her step aside a little so she can go inside freely. David observed the state of his daughter's room. He was doing a waist-rigged pose, then turned around to look at Becca's expression.

"Last night, you should have come home with me, or at least tell me before you left!" said David.

"You seem busy, I don't want to bother you." Becca tried to calm down without having to raise her tone.

"I don't know why you're always in Becca's shit. Stop throwing a tantrum, do you know how hard I think about you and Jonas?! I just wanted-"

"You think I did it on purpose?! David, I think you can understand me after the holiday. But, it turns out, you haven't changed!" Becca accidentally cuts off David's speech. His emotions are stirred.

"OK, I have no other choice now, other than to block all your credit card access. You better find a job, so you can think like a typical adult!" said David, then meringus went out of the room.

"What?!" Becca. His face looks angry. "I hate you, David!" his strangulation was loud, letting his father leave him. David is seen driving the car and disappears from view.

Becca's tongue was grumpy. He does have his own income, but all the credit cards he has are in the name of David. So now the girl is determined to have a credit card in her own name.

Drrt...

Becca's phone is vibrating. A message from Tara came in. Her best friend told her that she would go to Becca's house at night. And cancelled his planned arrival at noon. Especially with the weather that happens to be cloudy.

The thunderous sounds of thunder rang out from outside. Black clouds slowly gathered, a sign that it would soon rain. Becca was able to witness the natural phenomenon from her window. It was then that his eyes caught the appearance of Jack, who seemed to be jostling about driving a car. The man's face looks sour while putting on his tanned coat.

'Huhh, I am really frustrated with my curiosity. Who is the real Jack?.. Wait, should I follow him?' inner Becca, then rushed to put on her jacket. He immediately rushed out of the house.

Becca gasped in shock as she opened the door. Because he was immediately greeted by the arrival of Ben who seemed to be about to knock.

"Becca, I-I"

"Ben! what a coincidence, come with me!" said Becca, who didn't give Ben a chance to talk at all. He grabbed Ben by the arm, and dragged him into the car. Becca tells Ben to follow Jack's car further away.

"Quick Ben! we'll lose him!" urge Becca who doesn't take her eyes off Jack's cadillac.

Rain drops seemed to have fallen. Over time it became increasingly swift, and caused the windshield to slightly blur. Jack's car suddenly disappeared among other four-wheeled transportation.

"Shi*t!" geram Becca grunted in annoyance. He pushed his body into the back of the chair. It seemed like the girl had given up on her pursuit.

"Now can you explain to me why you're after Jack?" ask Ben while parking the car to the side of the road. Becca's forehead then shriveled. Not because of Ben's question, but because his best friend suddenly stopped the car.

"I'm just curious" Becca answered, still looking in surprise at Ben and continued, "why did you suddenly stop?"

Ben was silent for a moment, for the sake of gathering all his courage. Including having to be prepared with the risks that will be borne. His breath is quite long. He who had taken his eyes off Becca, finally looked back again.

"Becca, I wanted to tell you something" Ben said seriously.

"Hmm?" becca's response returned Ben's gaze.

"I love you, Becca!" Ben revealed with such a deep twinkle of an eye. But Becca looks to be straining her mouth, as if she still does not want to believe. Ben who is tired always get a response so, then hold Becca's arm. Then pull the girl to approach him. For Becca to see clearly the twinkle of her meaningful eyes.

Becca gasps. Only with a look did he instantly stare. His mouth was tightly locked, and he could not smile anymore. From the look in Ben's eyes, he now knew that the man's feelings for him were true. Especially when Ben suddenly landed a kiss on his lips.

Not a second, Becca immediately pushed Ben away. Then hurry out of the car. I don't even care about the rain falling.

Ben who was worried, certainly trying to pursue Becca. Both of them now both let the raindrops drench their bodies.

Ben grabbed Becca's arm and said, "I knew this was going to happen. I know you'll be confused to respond to my statement. But can you hear my explanation first?"

Becca sighed while closing her eyes. He finally turned around to look at Ben. She is not actually angry with the feelings that Ben has, but the reality really makes Becca awkward and do not know how to do. She is now in love with Jack.

The rush of rain that slightly disguised the vision, did not succeed in blocking the appearance of the restless look that Ben showed.

"I'm not asking you to return my feelings. But I'm just tired of continuing to be the invisible man in your eyes. In fact, I've always been there for you compared to the men you love.You don't know, I've harbored this feeling for a long time.." Ben explained at length. Sometimes he rubbed his face that had been flooded with rainwater.

Ben explained with a sincere feeling. Talk about the love he has kept for a long time. For years he had to bury his feelings. Ben even looked after her as if it was his watch box. But his defense was instantly shaky, when he witnessed Becca's togetherness with other men. Especially with a man whose origins are not as clear as Jack.

"I-I don't know what to do, Ben. I just..." Becca couldn't continue her words. Both of his hands cupped his own face. Then cries began to sound from him.

"I'm so sorry, Becca..." Ben slowly takes Becca into his arms. "Actually I hate myself so much, because of this feeling. But I really can't control it." continued Ben, tightening his arms.

Becca speaks a thousand languages. He understands Ben's feelings. He also has no right to be angry with his friend. Becca just felt guilty and felt. He knows how hard it is to control his feelings. Because no one can choose who he will fall in love with. Everything will just happen. Even without a plan.
