THE RAIN AND US
I was busy preparing dinner when I heard the sound of the rain outside,
I looked through the kitchen window an saw the rain started to falling
I smiled and think…
I love the rain,
It reminds me to the cool and the freshness,
I like to see it flourish the earth, made the plants and flowers wet and fresh
I like to smell the fragrance of the ground & the grass when the first rain falling into it
I love to hear the rhythm of the falling rain
I don’t know how, but in some ways rainy moment leads me into some sentimental feelings…
But the rain will unpleased me
when it turns into a heavy one,
when plenty of water are downpoured from the sky,
when it accompanied by the dark clouds, lightening and thunder,
it’s not just unpleased me, but made me scared and feel insecured
Oh no,… this is what happen now…
Smile faded away from my face…
The rain got harder, accompanied by small twister
I felt so insecured… I’m home alone in our residence,
my darling was somewhere outside on his way back home from work ….
Imagine that he caught in the heavy rain and bad weather made me feel bad
“Dear Lord, please guard Abang, guide him come home safely through this bad weather” I prayed…..
Minutes later, I finished cooking and was turning off the stove when I heard the door was opened
“Hi dear,.. I’m home”…. I heard his voice..
Ah, Abang is coming home… my pray had answered !…
“Hi honey…” I greet him with a light kiss…
“What a bad weather outside dear” he said
“Yes, I know…I’m glad you’re home now “ I replied “Now, why don’t you have a nice hot shower while I finish to set our dinner?” He said ”OK” and went to the bathroom after I passed him the towel
I continued preparing our dinner happily
The table had set just in time when he came out from our bedroom,
fresh and clean, smiled at me so lovely…
Together we dine,
Started by praying, thank God for the food and everything,
We had a nice hot meal, delighted to have it during the heavy rain outside,
actually, it wasn’t super tasty cuisine that I served for I’m not a great chef,
but I cooked it with love – did it for someone I love - that made it so special…
The hard rain still falling outside when we had finished our dinner,
then we moved to the living room
having cups of hot choco,
sitting together in the sofa,
his arm around my shoulder, hold me tight,
a sweet moment of sharing and communicate each other,
Together we watched the falling rain from the window…
I still hate the hard rain, but it didn’t scared me when I’m with him
Eventhough dark clouds, thunder and twister outside, I feel secured in his embrace
It was wet and cold outside but together we were warm in our nest
The love in our hearts would keep us warm,
it may turn into heat we share all through the night……
I love the rain,
any kinds of rain,
as long as I’m with my beloved one ………
