SOMEWHERE IN THE FALLING RAIN

CHAPTER 2

Yuma opened his eyes. The light from his window hit his face on a Saturday morning. He stood up, slapped his face with his hands and looked around his one room apartment. He glanced at his alarm clock; it was already 6:15 in the morning. He jumped up from his bed and headed to the shower room.

Fifteen minutes later, he was all clothed in a simple T-shirt and jeans. He took out his apron from the kitchen cabinet and some eggs in the refrigerator. He opened the stove and started cooking.

It was already 7:30 when he finished cooking. He immediately packed eggs and rice into a plastic bag, grabbed his thick violet jacket, went outside his apartment and started to close the door. But before he completely closed it, he took one last look on top of his still unmade bed. It was a letter from his parents. With a small frown, he locked his door. Yuma then walked down from the stairs and to the third floor from the left.

*knock-knock* he knocked the door. There was no response.

*KNOCK-KNOCK* he knocked louder. A shout from the room was heard "Stop knocking! I'm up!" Then there was a ruffle and clacking noise from inside the door.

Yuma leaned on the door beside the door, took out his MP3 player and listened on his earphones. After a while, he would glance at his watch. It took almost half an hour before a breathless Mizki opened the door with a comb on her wet hair and disheveled collar of her pink blouse and skirt with sakura prints. Yuma stared at her.

"You look ready..." he joked, stepping in front of Mizki and straightening out her collar.

Mizki grabbed her comb and fixed her hair. "Sorry for waiting, I couldn't sleep last night."

Yuma looked at her eyes and noticed that they were swollen, just like in these past few days.

She had been crying.

They started to walk quietly from their apartment complex to the park, which was also a few blocks away. There was a long moment of silence.

Yuma then looked up to the sky. It was a sunny Saturday morning which was perfect for walking around the park. Mizki noticed this and decided to break the silence.

"Wonderful day isn't it?" she said, smiling at Yuma.

Yuma just replied "Uh Huh"

"But I bought my umbrella, just in case" she said, patting her handbag.

They finally reached the park. It was full of children buying balloons and grownups playing chess or otherwise gossiping. Yuma and mizki found a vacant bench and sat down.

Yuma opened the package he was carrying. He handed Mizki a fork and spoon.

"What's this?" Mizki asked curiously as Yuma placed two bento boxes in between them. It was only fried egg and rice.

"Breakfast" was the short reply.

Mizki looked away "I'm not really hungry" she said feebly.

"Just a little bit?" her companion presented.

Mizki, still looking away, repeated "I'm not hungry" She then turned to face him. Suddenly a spoonfulof rice came came into her lips. She nearly gagged, but forced herself to chew the food. She looked at Yuma, still holding the spoon, scooped another serving of food and ate it.

After swallowing, he said " I don't want this to go to waste." he took another bite.

Mizki then took her food and ate, albeit slowly. Yuma saw this and was satisfied.

When they finished eating, Yuma stretched his hands and leaned back from the bench. He let his arm fall behind Mizki. After heaving a huge sigh, he spoke.

"Do you have anything you want to say?

Mizki was surprised by his question, her eyes moved away from his face. She just sat quietly for a few moments, wriggling her hands "I..."

Her sentence was cut short when a huge drop of water fell on her head. The rain clouds were already blocking the sun, sending large drops of rain to the ground. Children and adults alike scrambled to find some shade from the incoming rain. Mizki immediately rummaged through her bag and grabbed her umbrella, shading both of them. But the wind was so strong that both of them were wet anyway. Yuma grabbed her hand and pulled her to anearby tree.

He then took off his purple jacket and offered it to Mizki's shoulders but she moved away.

"Use it" she said "I have an umbrella..."

Yuma sighed and ran his fingers through his wet hair. He wore the jacket again and leaned his back on the tree. He then pulled Mizki's shoulders and let her back lean against his chest. Pulling the rest of his jacket, he covered Mizki's body with it. He then whispered to her ears.

"You just have to be difficult..."

Mizki, though surprised, never moved from her spot. She remained quiet, looking at the ground. Her hands shook with the umbrella. Yuma then grabbed her hand, holding the umbrella in place.

Mizki's teeth gritted with anger "Why are you doing this?" she asked quietly without looking.

"You don't want to get wet..."

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?" Mizki shouted, repeating the question. She could feel tears swelling in her eyes.

"It's already obvious, Mizki" Then, Yuma went quiet.

Mizki let her hands slip from his grasp, grabbing the jacket; she pulled it closer to her. Then, unable toi hold it back any longer, she cried. Her body was shaking with sobs. The rain drops covered her cries.

After another moment of silence, Mizki took a deep breath and spoke.

"Yuma, I'm leaving this country on Monday"

Yuma put his chin on Mizki's head. "I know, my parents told me" he said quietly.

Another moment of silence passed.

"Yuma, Will you miss me?

He was surprised by her question. He wasn't sure how to answer this also. Mizki had been by her side for as long as he can remember, when her parents and his parents began working abroad for the same company. They had been there for each other, it will be impossible to break them apart.

And he knew that Mizki was also thinking of the same thing.

He dropped the umbrella as his arms flew across Mizki's chest, his head bent near Mizki's face. He embraced her as hard as he can, implying his answer. Mizki held his arms in front of her, tears falling down from her face to them. The sky was still very dark and the rain never ceased from falling.

With every ounce of energy she had left, Mizki broke away from Yuma's embrace. Tears were still falling from her eyes. She looked at his eyes and he looked at hers. Suddenly she put her lips to his, very gently.

Yuma was surprised but he didn't move an inch. He just closed his eyes and tears were already falling from them. Mizki then broke up, whispered something, and ran away from Yuma, leaving him even more surprised than ever.

He touched his lips where Mizki touched them with hers. The rain was still falling; each drop left a sound every time it met the ground. But that didn't let him forget her last words to him.

"Thank you and... goodbye"
