The Guy Who Fell In Love

Love In The Rain

Napatingin ako sa langit at makulimlim ngayon ang araw. It looks like it will rain cats and dogs and I forgot my umbrella to bring it with me. I just hope that before I can go to the dorm it will not rain that hard. The sun was completely fine this morning then suddenly the weather turns bad.

"Mukhang uulan pa yata?" ani ni Marley na nakatingin rin sa labas. "Nakalimutan ko pa yung payong ko," daing nito at tumingin na sa video presentation na pinapanood na min ngayon. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako at pinanood ang video documentation na kailangan gawan namin ng case analysis.

Mayamaya ay rinig na ang malakas na patak ng ulan. Kasama nun ay ang kulog at kidlat. Mukhang mahihirapan akong makapunta sa dorm nito dahil sa ganitong kalagayan ng panahon.

"Okay, prepare your case analysis for the next meeting," my proof announce to the class before he was leaving the room. Nangalumbaba lang ako sa arm chair ko habang pinagmamasdan ang ulan sa may bintana. Somehow rain become my comfort. I don't know but rain calm my nerves and the music they create was too peaceful to hear.

"May payong ka?" pag-alo sa akin ni Marley. Tinignan ko siya ng masama dahil inistorbo ako. Inaantok na rin ako at parang masarap matulog ngayong araw. Malamig ang panahon.

"Wala," ani ko rito at nangalumbaba sa table ko.

"Sungit," wika nito at hindi ko na lang siya pinansin.

Dismissal ay nasa harap pa rin ako ng building namin. Hindi pa rin tumitila ang ulan. Ilang oras na ako rito at nakauwi na rin si Marley dahil kasama nito ang isa pa nitong kaibigan si Freda. Nag-share na lang sila ng payong since iisang subdivision lang na man sila nakatira.

"It looks like I don't have a choice," ani ko at tinanggal ang jacket ko para gawing payong para hindi ako mabasa at para na rin hindi magkasakit ng tuluyan. Tatakbuhin ko na lang. Malawak pa naman tung campus.

Tatakbo na sana ako ng biglang may kumalabit sa akin. Pagtingin ko sa likod ko ay parang nakakita ako ng anghel.

"It looks like you don't have any umbrella. Share na lang tayo rito. Malaki naman tung payong ko," mahinahon na sabi nito at ngumiti. I ca't believe someone was offering her umbrella to me.

I look at her overall and she has a black straight hair and flawless skin. She has an angelic face and her lips that curve like a heart. Also, her body was a model material. She really is pretty.

"S-sige," nautal pa ako. Her aura was intimidating me but she was good for offering her umbrella to me even though she doesn't know me at all.

Sumilong ako sa payong niya at kasya naman kami. Sino ba naman ako para tanggihan siya. Medyo matangkad ako kaya inabot niya sa akin ang payong para ako ang maghawak.

"Ikaw na maghawak," ani nito. Kinuha ko ang payong and our hands touch each other. Her skin is smooth and her perfume was very feminine. I can smell here because we're inches away from each other.

"Saang department ka?" tanong nito sa akin habang nakatingin sa harapan. Hindi ako makapagsalita ng maayos dahil parang may nakabara sa lalamunan ko. Nahihiya ako na ewan.

"I'm in political science," simple kung sagot rito. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang sasabihin rin sa kanya. I'm not good on conversation especially sa mga taong ngayon ko lang nakilala.

"Oh, we are in the same department. I'm taking also political science. Anong block ka?" tanong ulit nito sa akin. She really good at asking question. Ngayon ko lang siya nakita sabagay hindi naman ako palakaibigan. She was completely stranger to me.

"I'm in block one," simpleng sagot ko rito.

"Wow, so you're that smart pala," she complimented me and raise her head to look at me. It reminds me of Ely when he was speaking at me. He was also looking up whenever he said something.
