Special chapter: Rain in afteroon
"Let's quickly Dafira the sky is already dark".
"Yes yes, little Rachel"
Today the weather surprised me and Rachel.
The originally blue sky has now suddenly turned gray, which is marked by rain coming down.
Though when forecasted this morning weather rain will fall tomorrow in the afternoon.
But for some reason the truth is, it's raining right now when I'm not carrying an umbrella.
"Let's hurry".
Rahel and I did not give up hope, we tried to run as hard as we could to get out of the school music room and go straight to the bus stop, which is not far from our school.
Yet...
"Crass !!!."
We have not had time to get to the exit gate, the sky has spilled heavy rain suddenly.
I was shocked and confused how to go home in this condition. This is not without reason, because this morning I left my phone in the room and my umbrella also had the same fate.
So right now it's just Rachel my hope. At first I thought so.
"Rahel how is this ??". With a very hopeful face I turned towards Rachel.
"Eitherway". But the answer to my wish was just like this, it was unsatisfactory.
Even important questions I ask.
"You didn't bring Rachel's umbrella ?".
"Not my umbrella left behind".
"What !!!". My only hope vanished along with my startled cry. While Rachel was just speechless and like she did not have the burden of glancing towards the rain.
"You also left the umbrella??, then how do we go home ??". With a worried face I looked at Rachel back.
"Well how else, we'll just wait until it subsides".
"Huh ??".
At the end of the bright spot I did not find, I was surprised for the second time when I heard this human sentence, he really did not think that the middle clock pointed towards 5 pm, he really did not think that the middle of the hour pointed towards 5 pm, if this rain is awaited until it subsides no one can guarantee before 6 hours will subside. If we wait until more than 6 then I can be scolded out at home.
"This can't be allowed". That's how my inner voice says
With the ability to think logically that is always praised by my mother, I immediately find a way to reach the bus stop quickly and accurately.
My first plan was to use banana leaves as an umbrella like old times, but that plan was broken by the fact that our school had no banana tree.
The idea didn't stop there, so I went back to finding a second way so we could get home on time.
The second idea was to borrow Rachel's phone, so I could ask for an invitation from home.
Yet...
"Rahel can I borrow your phone ??".
"of course". Rachel immediately gave me her phone easily, but I had thought that Rachel was one of the people who really considered a cellphone a secret item.
But when I received it, I felt like there was something strange about this phone. "Rahel why won't his phone live ??"
"Oh he ran out of battery". And that's the weird thing. Hape that died in my hand was caused by running out of battery, and along with that also my last hope was dashed raw.
I breathed heavily with my hands in my head. Now no more ideas have emerged from this head, until I was frustrated to see the rain soaking the earth.
At that moment, Rachel's voice came out in a slightly strange tone.
"Hey". As soon as he called her to me.
"Why ??". Because he called me, I turned to him.
"What do you think ?".
"What?, I don't understand".
"Don't you feel claustrophobic. In the summer I feel so claustrophobic and sultry. Just like now, I feel so claustrophobic, as if I could drown".
When I heard that phrase I started to feel it.
"What do you think of Dafira rain ?".
By sticking her hand towards the rain Rachel closed her eyes tightly which contained a lot of meaning.
Tears were flowing at that time, as well as vague sentences from Rachel...
"In addition, now that it's raining so hard, it feels like I'm going to die".
It's a sign...
"Rahel !"
"Hmm ?"
"Have you ever played in the rain ??".
"Of course it ever was. What's wrong ??"
I smiled at Rachel too.
"I used to be very afraid of the rain".
"I'm not afraid of the rain !!".
"But I omitted it in some way. So now I know what you need".
"What ??".
"Great memories in the rain !!".
"Grepp !!".
Without any more consideration, I immediately ran to pull Rachel to blend in with the rain.
Actually I have not played rain for a long time, but when I first entered in the rain, the same refreshing sensation immediately felt in my body. This sensation seemed to be breaking all the burdens and problems in my life.
"Can you let me go now ?!!".
But Rachel, who disliked the rain so much, certainly tried to let go of my hand with annoyance on her face.
"I'll never let you go!".
But I was determined to never let go, so I kept holding her hand even tighter now.
"Rahel.. enjoy it, it's one very easy escape".
"So don't be angry, your life doesn't matter if you don't feel the rain".
"Let's make memories with Rachel". That's my line I said so that Rachel doesn't get angry and upset anymore.
Then who would have thought that one sentence from me also managed to make Rachel smile, and also enjoy the rain with me.
"Hah~!, you are, if you want to play right away".
"Akhh!!, Rachel for a moment!!".
"Hahaha, you wanted to play, right ?".
"But I almost fell down".
"Quickly win".
The rainy afternoon was filled with our laughter, I who started to pull Rahel's hand, now changed with Rachel who pulled my hand while running down the heavy rain in the middle of the city road.
Almost all the way people look at us in wonder, maybe they think of us like children even though we wear High School clothes.
But we don't care about it, we're just as exciting in playing every second that goes by. We never passed a puddle to jump over, and were kicked to the point of Rachel or myself. The rainy afternoon this time is the most pleasant among the other rains
"Receive it !!".
"Ah Rachel, the puddle is about me".
"Haha".
"Nih replace".
"Forgiveness of Dafira !!!".
...~~~~...
...Together with Rachel who I was holding her hand, we both made good memories together....
...Unreplaceable memories ...
...and unforgettable memories...
...Although time has gone on for a long time...
