RAINS
From her eyes
Thats just another day in the September. The rain still falls in her town. But, she didnt really
care. She let the rain wet her body. She didnt use umbrella or even jacket. She didnt know
where she went. She just felt too tired and tried to forget everything although just for a while.
And she knew, this place is the best place.

She just walks in the middle of rain. Everybody that she passed was bringing umbrella. But,
she didnt. The road was quiet. Some couple was standing under the tree. And, she saw the
boy. He walked in the rain with that girl. He gripped her hand and she holds an umbrella for
them. Actually she felt hurt, but, inside of her heart thats still another wound. There is no use
to go back to her house. She thought that her parents were still fighting, her brother not at
home, and other siblings in her grandmothers house. Yes. Maybe, her parents would divorce.
And her father would marry that woman. That evil woman. Her mother would cry. And, how
about her siblings? Ray should old enough to accept the fact. But, how about Rosie, and
Ezra? They just eleven years old and six years old.

She walked for some steps. The rains didnt stop. She didnt know why that her friend, Adriel
really love rain. He said that rains one of the best things in the world. Nonsense. And where
in the world was the smart guy? Where? He was in the school, preparing himself for
Olympiad. Well, she didnt important enough. He didnt here when she need him. He didnt
here when she needed someone to talk.

She raised her head. The boy and that girl now walked together near the tree. Yes. Blaise and
Eve, one of the worst pairing in the school, she thought sarcastically. They were standing
together under the tree. They looked very happy. She smiled sarcastically. How can he laugh
with that girl while she was hurt here? Her head felt headache. She didnt know why. Maybe
because standing under the rain. She though. But, was that still rain? She touched her cheeks.
Thats wet. So, the rain was still fall, huh. Or, thats her tears? She didnt know.

Dont walk in the rain. You will get sick.

She raised her head. She saw Dean brought umbrella for her. He was smiling. Then, he took a
tissue from his pocket. He wipes her tears away.
Tell me, Eli, what are your problems? asked him. Huh, so the rain cant deceive him.
She shook her head. No, she said. But the tears now fall from her eyes. She was crying.
Then, he griped her hand.
Tell me, Eli, whats your problem? Maybe I can help you, he said.
N-no she answered. She tried to run away from him. No, she didnt need anybody. Yes,
not Dean, nor Adriel, nor Blaise. She fells headache one more time. But, she tried to forget
that.
Eli Elizabeth, wait she knew that Dean were trying to chase after her. She didnt need
him. She just needs to be alone. Her head fell headache again. But, then she didnt hear
anything. Everything just vanished from her eyes. And the rain still falls, also her.

Rain 2
From his eyes
Today the rain still falls in his town. Well, in the September is the rainy season. And he
already knew that. So, he brought an umbrella and a jacket. He drove his motorcycle. He
decided to go to Adriels house, so he could finish his homework with him. The rain becomes
swifter. Well, Adriels house was getting near. But, then, his eyes captured at a girl. He
looked at her. Elizabeth. She was one of the cutest girls in his school. But, what the hell is she
doing in the middle of rain like that? She didnt even wear an umbrella. Or jacket. She could
get sick if she walked in the middle of rain like that.

Quickly, he stopped his motorcycle on The Park. He opened his umbrella and run away after
her.
Eli, he called her.
But, she didnt even look at him. Maybe, she couldnt hear him. He grabbed her hand and
raised his umbrella so that they can share it.
Dont walk in the rain. You will get sick. He said and smiled at her. She raised her head
and looked at him. Was that rain, or tears in her cheek?

He was astounding. Her eyes were red, maybe she was crying a moment ago. He groped his
pocket and found a tissue. He wiped her tears away. He cant saw a girl cry like that.
Tell me Eli, what are you problem? Asked him.
No, she answered. But he knew that she was lying. Elizabeth wasnt a good liar. The tears
fell again from her eyes. He gripped he hand.
Tell me, Eli, whats your problem? Maybe I can help you, he said. She began to cry again.
No nothing she answered stammered. She abdicated her hand away from him. And
she tried to run.
Eli Elizabeth, wait! he ran after her. She looked dizzy, and she even almost unconscious.
And, he could chase her before she fell down.
He touched her forehead. Really hot. She got fever he told himself. He takes down his
jacket and wore that to her body. Then, he carried her on his back. The rains still fall and
become swifter.
Hold on, Elizabeth, he said.

Rains 3
From their eyes.
She opened her eyes. Thats not her room. At least she wont put pictures of Einstein in her
room.
Where am I? she asked.
In my house, actually, answered Adriel. Whats wrong with you Eli? he asked.
She didnt say any word.
Drink this, a woman entered the room. She knew her. She is Adriels sister, Regina. She
brought a cup of tea.
She drank the tea. Thank you, but I must go home now, she said.
No! Dean shouted. Call your parents. Let them pick you there, he said.

When she heard words parent she began to cry.

Whats wrong Eliza? Asked Regina.
My parents hiks hiks she sobbed. Regina hug her.
They want to divorce, she cried.
Both of Adriel and Dean keep silent.

I see, but thats not a reason for walk in the rain like that, said Dean.
What?
He rubbed her cheek. But, they will still worry, Eliza. And what about your little brothers
and sister? They will be worried if youre sick, he said.
She shook her head. No! Let me sick so that my father satisfied, she answered bitterly.
Thats not a solution! said Adriel.
Regina rubbed her head. Dear Eliza, go back to your house. Keep pray for your parents,
dear. She parted the curtain. The rain has already abated.
Look, thats a rainbow. Even after a heavy rain, there still a rainbow. So that your problem.
There still a solution, said Regina.
Eliza hugged her. Thank you, big sister.
Do you wanna hug us too? Adriel asked.
No, Iel. Not even in your dream, she said.
Well, let me escort you then, said Dean.

So Dean escorted her to her house.

Thanks, she said.

Well, thats a friend for, said Dean. But, I want you more than friend, he said in his heart.
Look! Elizabeth pointed at the sky.
