Rain Angel
Chapter 16
[Will it Rain Today?]
Girl “I like the rain”
Boy “I don’t like the rain”
Girl “Then I don’t like you”
Boy “I never ask you to like me”
Girl “I never ask you to like me too!”
Girl “I only ask you whether you like the rain”
Boy “If I like the rain then will you like me?”
Girl “I will only like you when the rain likes you”
Boy “How to make the rain likes me?”
Girl “By liking the rain first”
Boy “But I don’t like the rain”
Girl “Then I don’t like you”
And it goes on and on.
Some people say Love is the sweetest at birth.
While others said Love gets sweeter as time goes by.
It takes a lot of effort and unbelievable factors for two persons to be together. It could be your childhood sweetheart; it could be your friend’s friend. It could also be the girl whom you see everyday on the bus.
The process of knowing, communicating and understanding will develop into the liking.
It’s the liking that makes the two of you special.
It’s because you know the things he likes while he knows what you don’t like. The world slowly turned because of each other’s existence.
When you are not together, you would think of your special and a smile would grow on your face.
Are you thinking of someone now?
Mavis couldn’t sleep that night.
She was thinking about him, about her, about them.
She can’t even find a reason to explain her actions for hugging him.
Maybe she had kept feelings compressed for too long.
All is released that night.
What would Hanling think?
What would KaiLoke think?
Did she do the right thing?
What is the right thing?
---------------------------
It was another day of lecture.
Mavis’s bag trembled through the vibrations of her mobile phone.
She took up her mobile and tried to hide her smile in the lecture theater.
It showed Wilson’s number.
[ How are you today Babe? ]
Mavis tried to hide her mobile while replying her sms.
[ Time is dragging… Lesson is boring…and worst of all. You are irritating me…]
Her replied came within a minute.
[ Then how can I make you happy, dear? ]
[ I’m not your dear, stop calling me that!! ]
[ If you not my dear then who is? ]
[ Stop dreaming, I never said we are together unless… ]
[ Unless what? ]
[ Unless you can appear now right in front of me in my lecture hall ]
[ Now ? How is that possible ]
[ Yeah as impossible as claiming you as my ‘dear’ ]
Mavis started giggling as if she was in her own world.
“What’s so funny Mavis?”
Hanling asked her.
“Oh.. Nothing much”
Mavis didn’t want her best friend to know about their relationship.
Suddenly Mavis felt something hit her from behind.
She turned around but didn’t saw the culprit.
Then it hit her again when she turned back.
Mavis turned around and starts searching for her prey.
Her eyes screen every single student sitting behind.
Her eye tearing radar spotted someone behaving very suspicious in the crowd of students behind.
Mavis took a closer look and quickly turned back with her heartbeat pumping away.
Her face was as red as fresh tomatoes.
Her mobile vibrates again.
[ You look so cute when you blush…]
Mavis quickly replied.
[ How did you sneak into our school’s lecture hall??? ]
Wilson was sitting four rows above her.
[ Hahaha what’s so difficult to get a St Andrew’s Uniform? ]
Mavis didn’t reply.
“Hui, something wrong? You looked so uneasy since beginning of this lecture.”
Hanling asked as Mavis was behaving strangely.
“Ehh… nothing wrong. It’s ok, I trying to figure out this theory factor.”
Mavis got another incoming sms.
[ You lose dear, see you at the restaurant at lunch. Lunch on me, see you there ]
Wilson took his bag and left the lecture hall.
Mavis just sat there speechless until lunchtime.
---------------------------
“Hui, where do you want to go for lunch?”
Hanling caught her hands when they came out.
“Ehh.. I need to go home awhile, I don’t think I will have lunch with you”
“But its Clement’s birthday today! Didn’t you agree to go with me last week?”
“Did I ? I must have forgotten.. I really need to go home”
“Oh… ok, guess I just have to join him myself, see you later girl”
Hanling bid her farewell before she walks to join Clement.
“See you later”
Mavis waved.
“Seems like Hanling and Clement is getting along pretty well”
Mavis thought as she made her way to the Japanese restaurant.
-------------------
Mavis was greeted when she entered the restaurant.
“Hi dear, so what would you to have for lunch?”
Wilson bow & greeted her like a professional concierge.
“Don’t think too much, I came because I lost the bet”
Mavis glanced at him before she found a place to sit.
Before Mavis could order, Wilson brought a bowl to her.
“I didn’t place my order yet”
“It’s ok, I’ve already prepare for you in celebration of the birth of our relationship.”
It was a bowl of Cha Siew Ramen which she took the first time she came.
However, the Cha Siew was all cut in heart shape.
“Eekk.. How am I supposed to eat all these?”
“Then you just look at them loh”
“Is it how you court all your ex-girlfriends?”
Mavis took a sip of green tea.
“Nope, you are the first”
Wilson replied.
“Yeah… right”
“You are the first girl that I’m going to court. The rest of my ex-girlfriends chased me”Wilson said before he went on to serve other customers.
“Male Chauvinist Pig, so boastful of his words”Mavis said before she quietly tucks in her ramen.
Wilson showed her the victory sign before heading for the kitchen.
“Hui, where are you here?”
Mavis looked up.
It was Hanling and Clement as they entered the restaurant.
Girl “I like the rain”
Boy “I don’t like the rain”
Girl “Then I don’t like you”
Boy “I never ask you to like me”
Girl “I never ask you to like me too!”
Girl “I only ask you whether you like the rain”
