Arya can"t sleep . She had a lot running through her mind .
She grabbed her phone and called her mom to check their situation .
"Mom how are things there?" She asked plainly .
"All well dear . Reese will be discharged tomorrow . Rita already settled everything . When are you going back? She mentioned about your loan in their company when I asked her how you managed to pay for everything . I plan to work dear once everything is well an . . "
Arya interrupted to cut her mom"s words and said, "Let"s talk about that later mom . Just focus on Reese right now . Did Rita mention something else?"
She had to be careful with her words since her phone was still wire tapped . Ryu did not have it removed to avoid suspicion at Rita"s side .
"Nothing except that she kept asking if we need anything . Why? Is there something wrong dear?" Her mom asked with a worried tone .
"Nothing mom, it"s just that I can"t contact her today . Anyways, just don"t think too much . I have a great job in here so don"t worry okay . I have to go now . I love you . Kiss Reese for me . Bye . " Arya said and hung up the phone .
It was her 5th day already in the island and still no call from Rita . She wasn"t sure if that was a good or a bad thing .
She felt her head was spinning around once more . Although she wanted to place everything and all her trusts to Ryu, the truth is, she was still playing safe .
Though she was following her heart for now but her mind was still leveling to jam her feelings .
One thing was very clear with her, there"s nothing or no one who can replace her love for her family .
Her mom, dad and Reese were very important to her .
Then she thought about Ryu, he had a very special spot in her heart .
"Arya being wise was your best shot in your current situation . " Her mind was shouting at her .
"Arya, if you stick with your plan, you will hurt Ryu and I am sure you will also get hurt since your starting to fall for him, whether you admit it or not!" Arya"s heart was shouting at her .
It was a battle between her logical thinking and her emotional heart .
Then there"s so many what ifs to consider…
"Ahhhhh" Arya hissed as she strangled her hair like a crazy person .
The battle between her head and heart was interrupted by the sudden opening of the door .
It was Ryu who she felt laid beside her . Then his arm was wrapped on her .
"Did you drink? You smell of alcohol . " Arya asked .
"Yup, just enough to help me get sleep . Why are you still awake? Are you waiting for me?" Ryu asked while he buried his face on Arya"s neck .
"My head and heart were in battle so I can"t sleep yet . " Arya said in openness .
Ryu chuckled and said, "So tell me who won in the end?"
Arya"s forehead creased, "There"s no winner yet because it was a tough battle . Even the judge was having a hard time deciding since both were giving their best to win . "
"Why doesn"t the judge just declare a truce since it"s hard or let another judge handle it?" Ryu said frowning . He was referring to himself as the other judge .
"And what would be the decision of that other judge?" Arya asked . She was so curious to know what Ryu would do if he was in her position .
"Marry the owner of that head and heart . " Ryu said in a serious voice .
Arya froze . She wanted to turn around and face Ryu but she was hesitating .
"What was that? Is he proposing right now? He doesn"t believe in marriage right? So why would he propose marriage?" she thought silently while her heart started to thump fast and her body began to tense .
"Did I just hear it wrong? Maybe I just heard wrong . " Arya continued to ask at the back of her head .
There"s just silence . No one uttered a word for a minute, it was just pure silence .
Then she heard Ryu spoke once more, "Arya Tan let"s get married . "Arya cant sleep . She had a lot running through her mind . She grabbed her phone and called her mom to check their situation . Mom how are things there? She asked plainly . All well dear . Reese will be discharged tomorrow . Rita already settled everything . When are you going back?
