Rain Angel

Chapter 18

[ The rain that falls will go back to the heavens?]
“Jane, look what I’ve gotten for you”

A couple was at the park when the male took out something from his bag.

“I don’t want your things”

“Why? Didn’t you say it was very beautiful the other time?”

“Yeah, the other time. Were you listening then?”
The female fold her arms.

“I know, I know. I promise to buy but I didn’t”

“You only know how to promise but never know how to keep them”

“What is it that you want?”
The male was getting frustrated.

“Why do you talk to me like this? You never raised your voice at me before”

“I’m sorry Jane.. I didn’t mean it”
The male knew he was been overboard.

“Why are you always apologizing? Are you that sorry that we are together?”
The female asked.

“Let’s break up”
The female stared at the male with her tears flowing.

“Why? Why do we have to break up? What wrong did I do?”

“You never did anything wrong. I’m the one who’s wrong. I’m wrong about you. I’m wrong about myself. I’m wrong about our relationship.”

The female started to walk away, weeping away.

“Fine... suit yourself... find someone who can face your stubbornness and demanding factor”

The guy said before he walked the opposite direction.

When he walked past the telephone booth, he threw the bag inside and walked off.


Mavis had ended up in the park again.
She wanted the peace and quiet that the shopping areas couldn’t provide.

She was walking through the gardens of flowers when a slight drizzle of rain came upon.

Mavis ran to find shelter and the nearest she could see was the phonebooth.

Mavis tried to dry herself.

“Luckily this phonebooth has not torn way yet.”

Mavis notices a paperbag lying on the floor of the phonebooth.
Out of curiosity, she took the bag and examines the contents.

Inside the bag was a box.
It looked like a shoe box to her.
The brand imprinted on the box was similar to the shops which she had walked just.

“Who could have left it here?”

Mavis wondered as she opens the box,

It was a pair of heels within.
It was the same pair of heels which the sales girl ask her to try.

Mavis took out the pair of heels.
It matched her shoe size.

“Wow!! It fit just nice”
Mavis got carried away as she put on the heels even without thinking who its owner was.

To her, it seems that the shoes had found her instead of her finding them.

Mavis was filled with joy as she danced inside the booth with her heels on. It was the first time that she had ever wears a pair of heels in her life.

“Why try on something which you won’t be able to own?”

Mavis’s thought came haunting.

“Why be with someone when you know there’s no future between them?”

She was wrong.

Mavis was wrong when she said she could not own the pair of heels.
She is wearing them right now at this very moment.

Sometimes you need to own the things as the things will be owned by you one day.

The things that you lost may not be found one day, but the things that you own may not even be lost at all.

Mavis looked up in the sky.
Rain was still coming down.

“Thanks KaiLoke…”

“I finally know what I want”

Mavis took out her mobile phone and dials the numbers.

The line connected…

“Hanling, you free to talk?”

“Oh… yeah what is it regarding…?”

“Its regarding today’s question”
“Yeah….”

“I was asking you about Wilson…”

“Ask what?”

“What if we happen to like the same guy? I really mean what if?”
“You mean the guy that you mention is Wilson? Not Clement?”

“Yup its Wilson… What if I like him too?”

There was no response from both parties.
The sound of rain could be heard by both of them.

“Crazy girl! Why will I be angry with you when you like Wilson?”
Hanling responded first.

“But.. Don’t you like him too?”

“That’s the past already.. For now it’s only Clement and me”

“Really?”

“Yeah…. If you really like Wilson then go for it..! He’s not bad looking”

“Will you give me your blessings?”

“Of course!”

Soon sounds of happiness filled the phonebooth. The rain had stopped and Mavis was making her way home.

She was carrying the bag of heels in her arms.

Finder’s Keeper’s, she knows.
You may find something then you own it.
After awhile you begin to ignore it.
Finally you forgotten about it.
Until it’s found again.

---------------------


Mavis was lying on her bed looking at her mobile phone.

Mavis pressed Wilson’s number accidentally and it rang twice before Mavis hung up in panic.

Wilson called back immediately.

“Hello….? Darling? You looking for me?”

“Nope, I pressed wrong buttons…”

“Really arh.. that’s sad”

“It’s ok, if no one talks to you, I can still talk to you”

“You would dear? Wah.. you make my day”

“Where are you going? Your background sounded abit noisy”

“Oh… I’m on my way to the pub to work loh… driving now”

“Wah.. you still work so many jobs”

“Yeah.. if not how to feed you next time?”

“Wilson, can I ask you a question? You must tell honestly”

“Ok..”

“Do you really like….”

The Mavis heard a loud "BANG!" before his line was totally cut off.

“me…”

“Hello?? Hello??? Wilson you there??????”
