You're my RAIN

Chapter 3- "The Unexpected Seatmate"

Third Persons' POV


"Now we request your full attention as the flight attendants demonstrate the safety measures on this flight."....


I insert my ear pods on both on my ears as I look on the windowpane of the plane. I didn't need to hear the demonstration of the flight attendant, I've heard of it a lot of times. A lot that I couldn't remember how many times it is.

I browse my phone, choosing the right song for today's flight. Hmmm, should I choose Ed Sheeran or Bruno Mars? Or should I switch to classical music to calm my mind..


"huhuhuhuhuhuh...."

I turned my head on the left side where I was seating and there a saw a woman, not just an ordinary woman but a pretty woman actually, maybe in the late 25's , crying silently.

Maybe she didn't want anyone to notice that she is crying, but well, I notice that she is.

I turned my focus on what I was doing a while ago and browse for a song that I am going to listen to. But I don't know, I just can't focus. I can't focus on the fact that a woman beside me is crying.

I look at her again, and I saw her tears falling on her lap. I don't want to meddle on her problems. I have my own problems to focus on. But I don't know I just can't keep up.

"Jeez!!! What's up with you Kevin? Just don't mind her ok?!. You don't even know her."

I look on the window pane again. Focusing on the clouds and on the birds on the sky. But.. But I can't focus. I look at her again and my hands acted automatically and get something in my pocket...


"Uhmmm, miss." I said. As I offered her my white handkerchief. My special handkerchief that was given by my mother.

She stared at me. That stare she gave me made me see her beautiful face even more.

She look down.

"Sorry..." she said softly

"Oh!no!no!. You don't have to say sorry. I just want to offer you this. Sorry for meddling with you but I just can't take it seeing someone cry. I may not know what you're going to. I may not help you either but..but this is the least I can do. I am sorry for eavesdropping..."

She takes the handkerchief and wipe her tears...

"Thank you.." she said softly as she looks into my eye.

And when our eyes met, I don't know. I don't know why all of a sudden something happens on my chest. It feels different. The same feeling I felt when I saw Tanya for the first time, yes Tanya my ex. The reason why I am here on the other side of the earth. Traveling a very long mile just to be away. Just to be away and to forget this same feeling.

I immediately turned my head on the window pane again. And this time I am not going to look back, not again...
