Rain In The Winter's
12.

"Nothing, there I am here" said Rain stroking Bianca's head gently, trying to calm the spoiled girl who was trembling like a child who was afraid of something. Bianca did not reply to Rain's words, she kept tightly hugging Rain and buried her entire face in the man's stomach.

Long enough for them to hug, until the hug warms themselves, Rain even gets used to the touch of Bianca's body.

The rain began to subside when Bianca finally realized what she had done, from earlier she was so overwhelmed to feel comfort and also the sound of a heartbeat that was so soothing. When he began to understand this situation, Bianca immediately released herself, making Rain who had been quite addicted to his warmth, immediately a little shocked.

Bianca's face looked red, not daring to look at the face of Rain who was now looking at her, Bianca hugged herself, actually did not want the comfort and warmth of Rain's body disappeared, Rain's body, and the, but it's too shameful to be in Rain's arms.

"I'm sorry," said Bianca, biting her lip, completely lacking the courage to stare at the sharp eyes Rain had always had.

Rain flinched, only nodding slightly accepting the apology from Bianca, Bianca saw it was just a stiff smile.

"From the moment I can remember, my father always beat and yelled at my mother, from that moment on I was always afraid of loud noises and started to fear rumbling sounds, I'd be like this if I heard that roar," said Bianca explaining why she could be like that, Rain was not one to listen to people's stories, but this time he was as caring as he could.

"My father was very light-handed, he always beat up my mother and I, when I was 10, my mother took me on the run and came home here, we thought getting away from him would be new, we will be able to live quietly not on the side of the monter, but we were wrong, as long as we were not with him, the situation even more gripping, he always threatened to even try to kill my mother, he said, trying to destroy us from the psychological side, we actually lived like fugitives, moving from one city to another, when my mother knew that there were already signs my father knew us, he said, we were going to move in, so I never went to school well, so I decided to work to help my mom instead of going to school and a few months later we moved again, my mother did everything to raise me, worked timelessly just to make me live without my father's shadow, but it really broke my heart, seeing my mother live like that" Bianca said, his eyes looked straight but he saw nothing at all, only reminiscing about his past. His voice began to tremble, sound engrossed, and glazed. Rain was silent with his face flat.

"Then a few months ago, we finally united with grandfather, grandfather said that there was no need to be afraid of the monster, but one night he finally appeared before us, that night, that night, after a dozen years of not seeing her, not a word of longing or warm greetings that my mother and I got, my father immediately beat my mother violently, and he dragged me out, he wanted to separate me from my family, I ran away and hid as much as I could, but my father beat my mother again, that's when I heard 5 shots and when the police came, they took my grandfather away, I've always said that my grandfather only helped me and my mother, but they said if we did that, it would make my grandfather's punishment worse, I don't know why it could be? but they told me that, so we just kept quiet until now" Bianca said, finally Rain again saw the same crying face Bianca had seen when she first saw this woman.

Bianca's still-empty eyes finally looked at Rain, she wiped her tears pretty hard, leaving a red trace in her eyes, she pulled her already watery nose, looking reddish.

Rain did not expect, behind his spoiled attitude, this woman turned out to be a woman who had gone through so many problems, even from a small life in terror, how can a father make his child like this. Suddenly a hint of sympathy appeared in Rain's cold heart.

"Rain," said Rain suddenly making Bianca frown.

"Yes, I know it's raining, right now" said Bianca who looked around them, the rain that had started to stop earlier, suddenly just back loud, fortunately, there was no sign of thunder coming back.

Rain raised the corners of her lips slightly, making Bianca a little shocked, finally, during their nearly 2 days together, she could only see Rain's thin, very thin smile.

"Rain, that's my name" Rain said.

"Rain, is your name Rain? well, you must love the rain," said Bianca who did not expect the man sitting in front of her named Rain, deservedly, shady nature and can hypnotize everyone.

Bianca commented on the thin but sweet smile, her eyes showing deep sadness, she then threw away her face, wanting to say something but unable to.

"What will you do again after this?" ask Bianca.

"So, maybe go back to jail once it's safe" Rain said.

Bianca frowned, usually if the prisoner came out she did not want to go back there, but why would Rain even want to go back to prison?

"You're serious, you're out of there, but you want to go back there, why not just live outside, maybe marry the woman you raped" Bianca said in disbelief, his tone was starting to normalize.

Again and again Rain smiled faintly because Bianca's words which he thought were a little tickling to him, were too plain.

"Then living as a fugitive, do you think it's fun?" ask Rain.

"Yes, that's not surprising, you're right too" said Bianca, who glimpsed her eyes.

"I'm just bragging anyway, I went to jail not because I raped a woman, I went to jail for wanting revenge for my parents' deaths, but I just found out that I've been in a sheepfight by someone, all this time" Rain said.

"Well, are you serious? don't want me to not be afraid of you, so you pretend you didn't rape someone" Bianca said, staring at Rain with her stolen face.

"In retrospect, it's up to you to think I'm right or not, it has nothing to do with you, either" said Rain, who thinks he's been talking too much to this woman, I don't know why I could get it all out on this woman.

"Rightly, um, when were we saved or going forward?" asked Bianca again who saw Rain was ready to lay her body.

"This island is isolated, our only destination is to get to the beach so we can be saved, after that, we will split up, maybe tomorrow we will get to the beach, good night," said Rain back again with a tone of voice flat and cold, Bianca saw the man with both palms, had closed his eyes, from the gesture as if to say that he did not want to be bothered again, he said, Bianca bit her lip, could she not part when she was saved?
