Rain, Sun and Me

The rain is pouring hard.

I look at the fireplace, trying to warm myself.

Nothing.

I hug myself, trying to stop the shivering. I rest my head on my knees and keep thinking.

What am I thinking? I don't know…

Suddenly, there is a small noise on the door and it opens.

"Baby?"

I smile a little when heard that voice. Familiar voice. Too familiar.

My body suddenly becomes warmer. He hugs me.

"Why you are not answering?"

"I know it's you." I answered and smiled, looking at him.

I stand up and walk to the window. He follows from behind and hugs me.

"It's raining hard." I whispered.

"Yes, it's been two hours." He rested his head on my shoulder.

I look at the umbrella at the yard.

"Did you walk here?"

"Yep, my part-time job isn't that far from our home though."

"Why were you using umbrella?"

He pinches my cheek."Baby, it's raining. Would you like to see your honey drenched than see this perfectly handsome man which hugging you?"

"But you love rain."

"Doesn't mean I want to walk freely, right?"

"Right… my bad…" I whispered.

You said you love raining, but you find umbrella.

I am sitting on a bench in our yard. The sun is shining warmly. I don't hate the sunshine. In fact, I also love it when it shines to my skin. It's calming and making me sleepy. You may find me weird, but the warm from the sun is really nice.

I close my eyes, enjoying the sunshine when I feel something blocking the sunshine.

I open my eyes to see the man I missed so much.

"Hi, baby. Miss me?" He said and sits beside me.

"Very much." I smiled.

He kisses me a while and says,"Sorry for neglecting you these days, baby. But I was really busy and the job is killing me…"

"You know you can stop working." I cut him.

I touch his cheek."What do you want to eat? Let me cook."

"Hey, hey, hey. You are the most important person I wanted to see when I arrived here." He said."Don't go. Stay where you are now. We can just order foods later."

"But…"

"Anyway, Baby. For how long you plan to sit here, huh?" He tickles my sides and I winced a little.

"It's ticklish!" I protested and it made him tickling even more. I can't help but laugh.

"Ticklish, huh. Ticklish, huh." He laughed.

I realize it when his hat fell down.

"Oh, you wore a hat?" I asked and he stops tickling me.

"Yeah, Baby. It's hotter than usual." He answered."I'm not my baby who likes to sunbath here." And grins.

"But you said you love the sun too."

He kisses my nose and taps my forehead.

"But, it's too hot!"

Then, he pulls me to enter the house.

You said you love the sun, but you find hat.

I am stuck at the watch store. I was looking for his birthday gift when it suddenly rained. Since I don't bring umbrella and I also love how the rain falls and sounded like, I decided to stay here for a while. Until the rain stops… or maybe I can ask him to meet me here, then we have lunch and go to date.

I was going to press his name on my phone when I see him across the street, holding the

umbrella.

I smile and decide to call him, to let him know I'm at the opposite street.

The call is connecting and I can see him rummages his bag while struggling to hold the umbrella.

"Silly…" I decided to just go straight to him when shit happens.

There is a woman suddenly holding his umbrella and laughs. He also laughs and says something. The woman nods and touch his cheek.

"Pick it up… pick it up…." I whispered, desperately.

He finally holds his phone and the laugh is gone. Gone along with my breath.

He puts his phone back to his bag and my phone disconnected.

The woman beside him says something and he shakes his head. He takes the umbrella back and his other hand pulls the woman's shoulder closer to him. They turn around and walk to who-know-where.

My phone suddenly vibrates and I slowly press it.

A message.

From him.

I love you <3. He wrote.

You said you love me, but you find another.
