Chapter 12

[ The Angel of Rain ]

“Ah hui… how are you?”
“Loke? KaiLoke? Where are you? How come I cannot see you?”
I don’t know where I am, everywhere was pure white and cloudy.
“Kai Loke where are you?”

“Ah Hui… you won’t be able to see me..”
The voice was really KaiLoke’s.

“KaiLoke, what happened?”
I began to knee down and cry again.
I didn’t know I’m so emotionally drained.

“Don’t cry Ah hui…”
The warm gentling wind blow up to my face.

“Where are you Loke? Why can't I see you? There are so many things to talk about between us”

“If you cry, the Angel of Rain will cry for you too…”
“The Angel of Rain will watch over you forever, I will watch over you, forever…”
“Be strong and live on because life is supposed to be happy….”

“No… Please don’t leave me”
Mavis was trembling on the bed struggling.

Wilson sat beside the bed watching her.
“She must have lost someone very special to her..”

Mavis suddenly woke up.
She realized it was a dream she had.
It didn’t felt a dream. Everything looked so real.
“KaiLoke must be in heavens now..”

“This bed is really soft and comfortable.”
She thought as she lay on the soft bed before.

Mavis suddenly sprung up from the bed.
“Where am I? Whose bed is this??? Whose clothes are this???”

She looked up. Wilson was looking at her.

“Argh!!!!!!!!!!!”
Mavis screamed with pitch that could kill.

Wilson walked over.
“These clothes are my ex-girlfriend’s. You were drenched all over. You were crying and suddenly fainted.. I have to carry you all the way back.”

Mavis slapped him a few times.

“You pervert!! What do you want???”

“Stop it.. Why did you slap me????”
Wilson stunned.

“Why did you change my clothes???? What intentions you have?”

“What intentions I’ve got?? You’ve nothing for me to see in the first place!”
Wilson fired a deadly remark on her.

In the mist of all the quarreling, the bedroom door opened up.

“Ah….The porridge is so hot…”
Hanling came in with a bowl in her hand.

“Hanling?? Why are you here?”
Mavis looked at her friend.

“Why? Because of you! Who ask you to faint all of the sudden”
Hanling put the bowl on the table.

“Hanling… so you were the one who changed out my clothes?”
Mavis lowered her tone.

“Stupid girl…All you know is cry, faint, scream and slap people”
Wilson walked out of the room.

He hoped her friend would be able to calm her down.

“Yeah lah! If not who changed? Wilson? Come to think of it, I feel he’s a real gentleman. At least he called me and asked me for help..”

“I just slapped him a few times just now..”
Mavis sounded remorseful.

“No problem, I wanted to slap him since that night”
Hanling encouraged her friend.

“Hanling… I dream of him just now…”

“Kai Loke?... Poor girl… don’t be too sad. Whatever happen she should not be too bothered about it. It cannot be helped…”
Hanling hugged her.

“I know.. I promise him I will live on happily. He said he will look after me. Well… I think he may actually be the Rain Angel that I’ve always talked about…I know he is.. I hope he is..”
Mavis let out a smile.

“That’s the spirit girl! I know you are sad…. But we should look forward”

“Life is supposed to be happy right?”
Hanling show Mavis her victory sign.

Wilson was standing outside the door.
He let out a smile of relieved. Finally she has the determination to pull herself together.
Wilson looked out his window.
The rain had stopped.

“Loke, I hope she will really get over you…”

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

Hanling accompanied Mavis to her void deck before she heads home herself.

“Ah hui, where did you go?”
Mavis’s mother looked at her tired daughter.

“I went to KaiLoke’s place just now”

“Are you ok? You looked very tired”

“I’m ok, Ma.. I’ve thought it through already..”

Mavis’s mother paused and looked at her daughter again.

“Whose clothes are you wearing?”

“Ohh.. Eh.. They’re Hanling’s. Just now we met up then big rain then we were drenched then I went to her place then she lends me her clothes then…”

“Ok.. ok so many ‘then’”
Mavis’s mother walked into the kitchen.

Mavis let out a sense of relieve. If her mother would to know she had went to a stranger’s place and slept on his bed. God knows what will become of her.

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

Night time came as the noisy void deck had died down.
Mavis folded and stacked her ‘new’ clothes into her closet.

She looked up to the clear sky with the half full moon.

“So many things have happened in such a short time.”

It takes a lot of time and a lot of effort to stop thinking of someone.

Mavis took a deep breath and let out a sigh.

“Loke, If you really are the Rain Angel.. please show me a sign, any sign…”

Suddenly raindrops fell down from the sky.
It rained on a clear night sky.. but it only lasted a few minutes..

Mavis fell onto her chair.
She couldn’t believe what she had witness.
But she would want to believe in it, even though she may be the only one who believes in it.
Her heart is finally settled.

“Ah Loke, you don’t worry about me. I will study hard and go to university as promised. I will live a good life. I know when I cry, it will rain. If you really are the Rain Angel, then I cannot hate the rain anymore because it would mean I hate you… “

Mavis started to flip through her revision notes.

“Mavis Guo Mei Hui Ganbatte ne!”

Mavis spent the rest of the night revising through all the lessons that she missed.

As she prepared for bed, her mobile phone beeped.

[Sender : Wilson]

She read on..

“The darken clouds filled the lovely sky,

Thoughts of you ran across my mind..

As the wind began its mighty blow,

Senses of sadness felt across my soul..

Water descends the distance ground,

Behind my window I heard the sound,

Night came as I sat by my warming crouch,

Knowing that a rainfall brings out drought,

As I close my eyes and force myself to sleep,

Images of you flashes within deep.

Though the rain had washed my tears for you,

it will never remove any love I feel.”
