"It was really good talking to you, Rahu," I said, smiling sweetly. This is the first time that I had met him but for some reason, it felt like it had been forever that I couldn't help but blush. To be honest, I feel like I have a more special connection to him than just a normal friend but I was too shy to ask him since I could also be wrong. I didn't want things to be awkward between us and it could just be me having one-sided feelings for him, although I don't think I do have feelings for him now. Just that I couldn't help but notice this unsettling feeling in my heart.

It feels like I've been missing him my whole life. But at the same time, I also doubt such a fine man would choose me.

'Urgh, I must have been quite timid before. There's no way there could be something between us, right?' I thought and immediately decided to perish the thought. Besides, if there was really something between us, Dad would have told me or Rahu himself would say something.

"Yeah..." Rahu replied with a kind smile but for some reason, his expression felt like he wanted to say more however was unable to for whatever reason he had. I really enjoyed my time with him but Rahu might think otherwise and that made me a bit sad. Still, I faced him and asked.

"What is it?"

"Nothing, I'm just sad that we had such little time to talk," Rahu replied and almost immediately, a chuckle left my lips. I really thought it was something else and in the end, it was just that.

"Hehehe, do you want to stay over for dinner?" I offered. I too not wanting him to go so soon.

"Can I?" Rahu asked and to be honest, he looked so cute that I ended up chuckling again. It leads me to think that handsome and pretty people must have been one of my weaknesses since I couldn't help feeling soft at his actions.

"Yeah, of course. I'm sure Dad wouldn't mind," I assured and luckily just on cue as I said it, Dad came over with a huge smile on his face. It's already 5:30 pm and the sky is starting to turn purple so it is time to get back inside. That's probably the reason why he came only now after giving us refreshments earlier.

"Dad, Rahu's gonna stay over for dinner. Is that okay?" I asked, chewing on my lips. Dad on the other hand just looked at Rahu and later smiled knowingly before he nodded in approval.

"Of course, I was originally going to ask him to stay for dinner. I'm sure you still have a lot more to catch up anyway. Let's just wait for Chris," Dad replied with a giggle, looking at me and Rahu which made me blush. I'm not dense and I know there is something that I don't know about considering how Dad was acting and what he said yesterday, but for now, I need to act oblivious. At least until I can confirm things.

"Thanks, Dad," I said instead. Rahu seemed to have been overjoyed at the invitation, making Dad chuckle again.

"Anyway, it's almost dinner time so Rahu Dear, can you take Gabby inside for me?" Dad asked and I blushed because I feel like I'm such a chore. Thankfully, Rahu didn't seem to mind, so I silently let him as we trail the way back to the house and to the living room.

"You know, we can talk tomorrow too if you want. I'm always just here," I suddenly voiced, but after realizing what I just said, another blush reached my cheeks and I quickly lifted my hand waving it in embarrassment. For some reason, my words felt like I was too desperate. The man's probably busy anyway, considering he only managed to visit today when it had almost been a month since I woke up. He must have squeezed in his schedule just to have time to see me.

"Ah sorry... I didn't mean to be a bother. I'm sure you have more important things to do anyway. Ignore what I just said," I quickly took back. It's so embarrassing to act so attached to someone I had just met. I don't even know him that much and just because I have my suspicions, I could immediately get my hopes up. I mean, four years have already passed since. Even if we did have a past together, he could be married to someone else already.
