"Are you coming with me?"
"Where are you gonna go?"
"I wanna go to the corn field over there..."
"Are you out of your mind? You know it's cloudy, it's going to rain soon..."
"Hahaha I know. Come on...You will like it."
He pulled my hand as we ran through the corn field. I could feel the wind, and hear the sound of thunder as the sky grew darker.
I opened my arms wide. It was drizzling. I looked up to the sky. I could feel the rain streaming down my face. I could smell the wet soil. It was so windy.
"Let's find a place for shelter..." He pulled my hand again.
We ran faster this time and I could feel him holding my hand tightly. I knew it was cold but somehow I still feel warm.
"Wait!"
"What?"
"I wanna feel the rain..."
"You're gonna be sick..."
"Please..." I knew he couldn't resist my begging eyes.
I smiled. I was running here and there till I got completely wet. I took a little mud and threw it at his shirt. He tried to catch me. I fell into his arms. He looked into my eyes deeply. I was enchanted by his eyes. His face was closer to mine. I could feel his breath. I closed my eyes feeling his lips on mine.
I heard the sound of thunder was so loud this time......
My sweat was all over my body. My heart was beating faster. I woke up in the middle of the night. I have the same dream every night.
I held my knees trembling. I cried in silence remembering the day after we got back from the corn field.
"Here....your birthday presents." He gave a bottle to me.
" What is this?"
"You'll know when you open it later, I should go home now."
"Can you wait until the rain stops?"
"Its okay. It is not a heavy rain though."
"Sunny..." I called to him as he climbed upon his motorbike.
"Yup..."
I didn't say a word, I just embraced him.
He rode his motorbike through the rain.
I heard the sound of thunder one more time......
I couldn't stop crying. That was the last time I saw him as the man who loves me.
He got an accident. He has amnesia now. He lost his memory. One day when i visited him in hospital, a week after he was awake from his coma.
"Do I know you?"
"Yes Sunny, we know each other pretty close..." I tried to hold my tears.
"I'm so sorry cause I can't remember it...."
"It's okay. We will work together till you get your memory back..."
Even he couldn't remember the old me, the one that he loved. At least I could still meet him everyday as a friend.
It's still heavy rain outside.......
I opened the top drawer next to my bed. I took the bottle that you gave me on my birthday. You filled the bottle with lots of small paper rolls. You wrote on each paper how you really feel about me.
I took one...." Wondering why I like you"
Another one.... "No matter how much time has passed, I still miss you"
And another one.... "You meant everything to me"
I kept reading.... "I still think about you and you might know this"
............... " You are literally, one in a million"
Till the last one.... "I wanna grab your hand and take you where you belong, here inside my arms"
Deep down in my heart, I've never given up. Maybe someday you will remember our story again. Cause you are the light that can shine every room in my heart. And you are the only one who can drive away all of my longings
