Who Are You

Mask 12

I was waiting for the bus and it was raining, hard. People are running to find some place to stop over until the rain stops.

I cussed as I don't have an umbrella to shelter and protect myself from the rain.

People abused nature, nature punished people. I really need to practice not abusing mother earth.

I waited for the rain to stop but seems like heaven was so depress because it cried harder in a second, I'm stranded.

I waited for about half an hour when finally na rain drops slow down, I silently thank God for stop crying.

I was about to run across the street where it has a convenient store, I need to buy umbrella and coffee too, I'm cold as ice.

As I held my breath to run when someone grab my hand I thought it was Van and I'm ready to scold her but it was him.

"You'll get wet. Come here."

He held my shoulder and sheltered me in his umbrella, we walk across to the other side of the street together making sure I won't get wet and so he is. He pressed me more to him and it warmed me.

I smiled, I never imagined my whole life that I will walk in the rain with someone I know but not be able to know his name.

As we made to crossed he let go of me that makes me feel weak so fast, I still want his arm on my shoulder. How I wish we crossed at the widest pedestrian.

"We're here." He smiled at me.

"Thank you. Anyway, I still don't know your name and you still don't know my name too. I'm Clai--"

Before I could say my name his phone rung and the rain poured so hard, telling him to go. He motioned bye to me while he answered his phone and called a taxi with a gesture.

I served him with the look until the taxi fades in my eyes.

It saddened me by not knowing his name. I almost have it.

I lost my chance again.
