It’s raining. I’m alone at my accessory shop. My cousin, also my business partner, went outside. It’s already 6:00 in the afternoon and the rains continued pouring. A guy with a little girl just arrived and stop in front of my shop with no umbrella catches my attention. He’s the guy who always visits here these past few days and looking for, I’m not sure, a necklace or a ring but not buying it. I immediately ask them to come inside. I can see him closely and he’s handsome yet simple looking guy. I can’t help but smile, seeing a guy so worried with the little girl – I think it’s his sister. Is it the way I see a brother-sister relationship here or I’m attracted with the way he’d taken care her? I feel a bit jealous, maybe because I don’t have a big brother, but also happy to see them. I realized that I’ve been staring for too long when I felt water running at my feet. And it startled me and the two, the water enters the shop. A flood, I think it’s going to rise. I started to panic. Until the guy calmed me and said, ‘it will be alright’.
In this kind of situation, it’s good to have people at your side than you’re alone, and I’m lucky that they’re here, I’m not alone. He helped me to pick up all the jewelries and accessories to the second floor, hoping that the flood will not reach them. The second floor serves us our (me and my cousin) home. So, I, the guy and the little girl stay there for good. I’m comfortable with the company of the guy and the little girl, as if we’ve known each other for the longest time.
I think 20 minutes passed, we’re thankful that the flood was knee-deep level only and the rain pours calmly, when suddenly the lights went all black – its brownout. I’m afraid of the dark. The little girl started to cry. But the guy was there, always calming us, and I’m happy. I’ve never been happy in times like this. I’m encountering a different feeling towards a stranger and it’s a first for me. The candle was the only light as we sat on the couch and wait for this to end. But in my mind, I don’t want this to end. The little girl fell asleep, and the two of us continue talking about each other and some stuff. I’ve known him enough for me to admit that I’m in love with him. Is it very quick? But that’s what I’m feeling at this point of time and it’s indescribable. Then, I’m shocked that the little girl was he’s own child, and he supposed to marry the mother of the little girl, even though it was accident. Before, I’m agreed to the couples getting married after they’ve mistakenly have a child, because it’s their consequences and responsibilities for that matter. But now, I’m sad because of that idea. After I heard it, we talk happily in the dark; he smiles and laugh but I think mine is half-smile. Afterwards, he fell asleep in my shoulder, and I savor this very moment.
Time flies very fast, the rain stops and the flood subsided. I think it lasts in an hour. And it is also the end of my first love story. I don’t know but It really happened and in a span of an hour. It’s like magic – every second matters. I don’t regret this kind of feeling and how we met like this. I experienced many firsts in that day – the flood, first love, feeling of happiness yet there’s this sadness. He’s not just a stranger for me, he leaves a memory that I think I’ll always remember. We meet people in different kinds of situation and there’s this natural relationship between us in times of disaster. I have my own family now, and that guy married the mother of the little girl. We became friends. The last time I heard of him is that he went to abroad to work and live together with his family. I’m happy that I met him and I felt the magical feeling and experience under the pouring rain.
Is it even possible to love someone in a short period of time? Do you believe that such situation existed? In my memory, there is, and I clearly remembered it, now, or let say every time it rains hard. Today, there’s no work because of heavy rains from the low pressure – that brought floods in low level areas. As I watch the raindrops falling by the window, I recall the day when I first fell in love to a random guy. Yes, he is my first love but at the same time first heartbreak and it all happened in just one day at a short period of time where it rains hard.
