Rain Part I (A Girl's Story)

Why do I like rain? This is one of the many reasons. It was a very rainy Sunday afternoon. I am with someone, we were on our way to a friend’s place somewhere. Suddenly I was asked, “If you are to write something interesting about rain, what is it all about and what would it be?”. I stood still, thinking that I always love the sound of the rain, the chill of it, and the comforts it gives to me. What would I write? I don’t know! Then I smile , and I said, “I’m not a writer.” Unfortunately, the person I was talking to that time was a writer. A good one. So there is no way in a world that will help me escape that conversation. Then he said, “Rain usually starts relationship and witnesses its bitter endings.” I didn’t believe him maybe because I don’t understand what he’s saying. And I don’t really give a damn.

So we went on until we found the place. We we’re soaking wet. We only used one umbrella for both of us (though I have my own umbrella in my bag). The thing is, when it’s raining, automatically we need something (or someone) to warm us even for seconds (better if for hours). Isn’t it? Or you’ll be like a cold rock! Agree?

The next thing happened is that we both decided not to go home yet (after a few hours stay in a friend’s house) ‘coz it was still early and for another reason that we we’re both starving! And so we went to the mall near the place, searched and searched for a fast food resto, ‘till we get tired and saw “yellowcab” in the corner. THERE IS NO TIME FOR SEARCHING FOR ANOTHER! LET”S EAT! I’M STARVING!

You see, I basically don’t know the person I’m with that day. It’s an accident that we need to go to one place at the same time. Our common friend set us up not on blind date thing but for some stupid little org thing. A work on a rainy sunday afternoon. And did i mention that we’re 2-hour late. And the result, we did enjoyed each others company, we talked about a lot of things, we talked about life, we talked about current issues, we talked about people and everything under the sun, and we talked in an open air place, a beautiful greeny, icy and wet place. We laughed. We teased each other. We threw corny jokes. We had fun. So much fun.

And finally I must say, by far, that’s one of the few most comfortable moments of my life.

-the BEGINning-

It started. And I won’t spoil the moment when it had to reach its bitter endings. Why? Simply because I didn’t realize that I would actually experience that kind of thing. It was unexpected. I’m truly blessed. So, instead of mourning and lamenting and talk about the heartaches and heartbreaks, I chose to cherish.
