Like usual, when you get upset you go and hide away my most precious things. But I know where you always hides them. And this time for sure, I will be waiting.
The hours go by, but you’re still not here so I continue to wait with my umbrella. While the rain is falling I can see another shadow a few meters away. I look up and I see you. But you don’t want to make eye contact. You continue to look down.
‘I’m really sorry.’ But all you do is turn around and pout. I walk up behind you and poke you gently.
‘Hey, look at this.’ I look at our shadows. ‘Our shadows have overlapped.’ But all you do is walk away.
But I follow you and we walk together side by side. I want to hold your hand so I come closer. But our umbrellas bumped and I can’t reach your hand. I pout my lips like you always do.
I look to see your reaction and you’re laughing. Being here with you right now at this place has made me want to cry because these moments are my precious things.
I pout my lips some more. But before you say ‘sorry’ I kiss you gently, in the rain under your umbrella. You look at me with a startled expression.
‘From now on, this sort of selfish things, it’s okay to say them but only to me. Okay?’ You take a while to answer back. Then finally, in a soft voice you say,
‘But if it’s too troublesome?’
‘It won’t be.’ Right now, all I want to hear is that you love me because I know I love you with all my heart. Today will be the day that our family names become one. This day will be the beginning of our growing love. I point up at the sky.
‘Isn’t that rainbow pretty?’ You nod slightly.
‘No, wait. It’s you who’s really beautiful.’ You slightly blush and I hold your hand. I whisper in your ear.
‘Thank you.’
