Title: First Love with Rain Drops

_________________________

It rained down hard. Maybe now it is rainy season, because almost every day it rains. Damn it to me today. Because I don't have an umbrella, so I can't go home. I can only wait for the rain to stop. But I'm so tired of waiting. 'Serly, go first!' one of my classmates told me. One by one, my friends went to their homes. I can't go with them because the road to our house isn't in the same direction. Even so, I still faithfully wait for the rain that does not subside.

A few minutes later. I accidentally saw a white umbrella leaning somewhere not far from where I was sheltering. I came to the umbrella, hoping no one would have it so I could go home. As I was taking the umbrella, I looked around me. And there was a tall man with all his body wet, for he stood in the midst of the torrential rain. That guy looks like school here.

'Hey, did you have this umbrella?' I shouted from behind. The man looked up and nodded. 'Hey, what's there? You can get sick!' yell at me again. The man was still standing looking at the overcast sky descended from the drops of water. I became a little annoyed at the strange man. 'Hey…! Are you deaf?' I shouted annoyed. The man approached me too. When he was near me, the rain suddenly stopped. I don't believe this a little. Maybe it's just a coincidence.

'This, just take my umbrella!' said the man with his umbrella in his hand. 'Em... This rain has also subsided, you are the one who uses his umbrella' said me and began to step towards home. Suddenly the man held me back by holding my hand.

'What's up?' manya curious. 'Still drizzling rain.' The man's words are short. 'Oh, it's okay. It was just a drizzling rain, ' I said with a smile. 'Alright, then we go home together' invite the man with his pretty handsome face. I nodded with a smile on the man.

On the way, the atmosphere was so awkward when with the man. It seemed, I was also starting to get interested in the person who walked beside me and patted me on this.

'Em... If you may know, what is your name? My name is serly' I started the conversation. 'What class are you in?' the man asked slightly deviated from the topic. 'I'm X class' I answered briefly. 'Oh, I'm XI class, your upperclassman.' Said the man. I was a little stunned to find out that this man was my upperclassman. 'So, what's your sister's name?' ask again. This guy just kept quiet, and smiled at me. Her sweet smile made me even more amazed, and more attracted to her.

We finally reached a crossroads. I forgot to ask if we are in line or not. But, hopefully, he walks straight. When I wanted to turn or straight, suddenly my upperclassman stopped his steps. But soon he walked straight. I became relieved. Turns out we're in the same direction.

Shortly after, I got home. 'Thank you very much, brother!' I said with a big smile. 'Hey, take this!' with a piece of paper given to me. I also accept it. And read. 'Rian?' I read it a little hard. I don't know what that guy meant. I started looking towards the man. But the man had disappeared somewhere.

At night, I kept looking at the piece of paper containing the words 'Rian. 'Oh, maybe his name is Rian' I thought. I'm starting to think his name is Rian. 'The name is quite similar to rain. Rain and Rian' I said with a small laugh.

The next day at school. Just like yesterday. On my way home from school, it was raining heavily. Fortunately, this time I brought an umbrella. But, when I wanted to go home, I remembered Rian. The man who took me home yesterday. I went to where we met yesterday. My upperclassman was seen standing in the rain, with his whole body soaked. Just like yesterday. I approached her, and seduced her not to rain. The man seemed a little surprised when the rain no longer washed him. He looked towards me.

'You're a fool, Rian' I'm starting to say his name.

'Finally you know my name too' said Rian slightly ketus.

'I like the rain. I never got sick from the rain either.' Rian replied in a flat tone.

I keep looking at him. He looks still looking at the cloudy sky even though it is slightly covered by my umbrella. I'm astonished. Why does this guy like rain? But that's what attracted me to him. And he's so handsome, too.

'Hey!' rian said to disturb my daydream. I spontaneously turned my face away. My heart is pounding hard. Not as usual. I became so nervous about it. 'A... I'm going home first!' I said and passed.

As I walked home, I stepped so fast. Because of walking so fast, puddles due to rain wet my shoes, and also splashes made my feet wet too. 'Shit!' I was a little angry when I saw my shoes were wet and a little dirty.

Suddenly Rian was by my side. I was surprised to see her figure next to me. He smiled at me and said, 'Hey, why are you walking so fast?' Rian looked at my wet and dirty shoes. 'Em.. I just want to hurry home' I said a little nervously and immediately turned my eyes away from him.

The atmosphere became so awkward. Rian kept looking at me. And it made me blush. After a while, Rian still looked at me. I looked at him too. My face turned red when I saw the sharp look in his eyes. At the time, I could not say anything. But the sound of the falling rain made the atmosphere not so quiet. A smile began to rise on Rian's face.

'Hey, why are you looking at me like that?' rian asked with a mischievous smile. For the first time I saw such a smile appear on his face. I didn't respond. My mouth is locked. Likewise with my eyes that continue to look at Rian's face which is still slightly wet by rain water. Rian's smile was disappearing because I just fell silent while looking at him.

'I like you, ' without me noticing, I said that line. I spontaneously closed my mouth after saying that sentence. 'What did I say?' my inner. Rian was stunned when he heard that sentence. 'I just love the rain!' I was a little incredulous when Rian said that word. He stared at the rain and raised his right hand up, letting the raindrops drench his hand.

As for me, I was so jealous of those raindrops. This feeling tormented me. I was dying to cry. But I can still hold it. And it seems that I can still cover this wound in my heart.

'This rain, I just love it. But, I love someone, Rian said making me a little stunned. A drop of tears trickled down and began to wet my cheek. I can't hold it anymore.

'I met him when I was in the rain. He once asked, 'are you not afraid of pain?' it seemed like only he was paying attention to me, to the point of asking like that.' Rian continued with a small laugh. I'm starting to understand. The tears began

they fell to the ground and wet my cheeks. Now the wound in my heart has been healed. Rian looked back at me. He put his umbrella on the ground, ignoring it and immediately grabbed me. My hands don't want to hold an umbrella anymore. I also threw it on the ground. And we

Hugging in the rain. No matter if the raindrops that wet my whole body make me sick. Because the most important thing to me is my heart. My heart doesn't hurt anymore.

These raindrops have united us both.
