One Rainy Afternoon

I was walking outside hours ago when suddenly a memory struck me.

It was not painful anymore to remember but just sweet. Sweet without that another romantic term "bitter."

I just remembered one November afternoon almost four years ago when I had that lovely experience, caught in the middle of a heavy rain and strong winds combined. Caught with someone. Someone who used to be so special to me. Someone who used to mean everything to me.

I just remembered how we were like two foolish people who had no idea on how we could go home. We were only sharing such a pathetic-looking,small and broken umbrella owned by me. And together, we were stranded, stood for almost more than ten minutes under the small roof of a small store. You could just imagine how we huddled together yet not touching each other.


I just remembered that. And each time that I do, I just smile. I am not in pain anymore. It is not painful anymore. The memories are just sweet. And I do not have any reason to be so sad for not having him anymore.

I just wonder at times how he is doing now. Not that I still love him nor I have feelings for him. Since he was a special and somehow significant part of my life before, memories of him still pop into my mind at times. At times when I feel sadness. For I also have beautiful memories of him. Memories that somehow give me a tiny flicker of happiness leading to a big smile eventually. And I intend to just remember and keep them that way in my mind.

I have always loved rainy days. Even before that lovely afternoon happened. And I am in love with them even more. For I had that sweet moment. And that moment just made my rainy days even more beautiful, lovelier and worth remembering.

I am okay now. I hope he is okay wherever he is now. I have no lingering feelings for him anymore. I have already forgiven him. And I am just happy for him. I have my own life to live now. And somehow, I am happy in the path I am being led by my Heavenly Father.

I have always loved rainy days. For something good happens to me on one.
