She is soaking wet from rain but she keep on going because simply she just don't want to stop and she just can't.  Fallen leaves fall on her as she pass by the big tree. There are beautiful color leaves; a mixed of different hue of brown, yellow and green. Laila keep going because she just don't want to stop. Her breathing gets heavier and it is harder for her to keep running but she uses all her might to keep going.

The pain from it somehow makes herself feel better. Maybe because it numb her real pain. The squeaky sounds of her sport shoes against the wet ground relief her stress. The rain doesn't give any sign of stopping. Laila is seeing stars and her breathing doesn't get any better. She stop at one of the numerous massive trees and protect herself from the rain. She still can feel a few rain drops touches her bare skin but this tree will do for now.

The clean cool air from the air cleanse her respiratory system. Everything feels so good and so serene. She is nowhere but here. There is no one here but her. There are cars and a few cyclists passes by. Some just passes her by without giving her a second look. Another look at her worriedly - seemingly wanted to stop by and rescue her but none did. A good cup of hot chocolate or a glass of water would be good right now. The standing make her feel parched.

Laila run again when she feels a little bit better, even though, the rain is still pouring rather heavily. She doesn't care. She just run. The rain make it more even better - magical almost. All the sweats that she get from earlier run probably get washed off by the rain. She run and run and run again.

She run until it is hard for her too breath again.

She run until she is seeing stars again but she doesn't stop until she reach home.

Laila arrived home when the rainy weather hasn't subside. She did some body stretches and cool down before resting on the wooden bench near the front door outside. It is raining lightly and her body feel good resting against the wooden bench. She just sit there and enjoy the cool weather. She let her mind wander a little. When the rain stops, there are beautiful double rainbow on the cloudless blue sky. She stare at it for a while - still wondering to herself how can a simple rain produce such a beautiful phenomenon.
