Rain for Airin
5 Eps. The One That Got Away

Airin POVs

"Watery."

Hearing that typical deep voice made the entire joint in my body suddenly stiffen. Like when something warm passes through my womb.

Holy hooch! Why is my mind going that way?

I looked up, then looked for someone. Celia's. That's right, I didn't find him anywhere. I'm sure, if she knew her husband was trying to get close to the ex, she would go on a rampage like a nine-tailed fox that wanted to destroy Konoha. Celia is very possessive.

"We need to talk."

Again he tried to talk. I have ignored it. Can't do anything, he's not messing with my life anymore.

I'm so sorry to obey Risa's compulsion to come to this reunion. But the longing for my High School friends made me tremble too, except for Celia and the creature who just invited me to talk that of course.

I don't miss them very much. Even expect traitors like them to get off the face of the earth.

Suddenly the man in disrespect pulled my hand. I was overwhelmed by her actions that could have put me in a threatened situation. What if Celia sees this? I can be labeled as an actor.

"Keano! Off!" I tried to escape from the tightening of the burly hand as I pulled it.

"Don't dodge! We need to talk."

"There's nothing to talk about. So please let go of my hand. "

Damnit. My request was completely ignored. The stone head. It was always like that. I can't imagine how she could live with Celia who is both her stone.

The stone met with the same stone as the foundation of rumah—eh?

But in fact they can live happily until now. Do they have children? Why am I asking such an unimportant question.

Don't I care about them anymore? If it was Celia, it was. But what about Keano? I don't know if I doubt my own feelings.

I have to shake off any feeling. Otherwise, in vain the defensive wall that I have built firmly beyond the solidity of this PRC wall will just collapse.

Keano is the past. The past is like an expired good that is better thrown away than poisoned and then died in vain.

I gasped a little as Keano led me to the backyard of the school. Especially now that the drizzle is wetting this region.

My memories instantly drifted to a time where Keano and I could finally play rain together.

That afternoon we were talking in the cafeteria when we got home from school. Keano, whose easy going nature makes me instantly comfortable when I'm nearby.

Moreover, it was supported by the seeds that began to grow in my heart. It made us feel like an impromptu bestie, but it was only the third time we started chatting.

The first time in the UKS. Then the second one as we passed by the corridor and he greeted me, "Hi." I said, "Hi."

Although only 'say hai' but able to make my heart jump up and down in excitement.

Test ... Test ...

The rain started to come uninvited. It made me grumble and immediately took a swing to perform the ritual.

Not a ritual like the rain handler did ya loh ...

Ritual to remove all fatigue, anxiety, and burden.

I was just about to stand up, but Keano had already pulled me into the backyard.

"Why?" many wonder.

"In the canteen you can," I denied.

"Shamefully. Many see. Later milledekin kayak little boy," Keano melengos.

"If you're the one who's being mocked, it's okay. You are like a baby growing teeth. Hihihi," he continued with an amused smile that even made me frown.

"Can we?!" I'm a little upset.

"It's funny again. Haha."

Keano's laughter coincided with my cheeks instantly blushing. Damnit. He managed to tease me.

"More like this" Keano suddenly cupped both of my cheeks with her big hands.

Directed my face to stare at her brown iris. For a moment our eyes locked onto each other. Keano's face drew closer, until our noses stuck together.

I closed my eyes when I felt the roar of warm breath that made my lips hot.

We were in that position for a long time. Finally I opened my eyes and found the glare of Keano's mischievous eyes flaming about.

"His mind was perverted, huh," Keano moved his face away while grinning.

My face is getting hotter. Basic warts anoa nyebelin!

I beat his shoulder repeatedly in a half-dead rage.

"Abson, sick!" the strangler was pain-killing.

The more I blindly shower him with punches and pinchings, channeling all my frustration.

Grep.

Nimbly Keano grabbed both of my hands, then placed them around her neck. His hands began to be on my waist.

The look in his eyes made me stupefied. Keano started singing while moving his body to the right and left following the song that was able to make me lulled.

Katy Perry's The One That Got Away is a melodious song, sung by Keano's distinctive deep voice that melts my heart.

I don't know since when Keano's lips touched mine. Warm. My whole body was warm, even though we were still in the rain. My eyes were closed following his play.

"I love you" she whispered, right in front of my lips.

Test ... Test ...

The rain drops on my face reawakened me back to a reality that was not as beautiful as expectations. I brushed off Keano's hand, then took shelter under the canopy available there.

Keano turned and looked at me in surprise, then followed me in shade.

"Didn't you like the rain? Why shade?" tanyakanya.

I'm shaking.

"Why?"

"My make up can wear off. I've been dancing for two hours, you know!" I lied to cover up the fact that the rain reminded me of him.

To a betrayal that could destroy my heart and my life. I need to be a strong woman in front of him. Can't be weak anymore.
