Chapter 2 - Three Drops

It was a heavy rain that day but I was standing still on the other side of the street while staring at a huge glass window of a cafe .

Heavy .

The grey skies seemed to have reflected on everything I see. It's as if every drop of rain painted the town with gloom.

Was it just the rain?

It's probably your heart . I heard someone from the crowd speak.

I sighed.

In a busy street I stood still holding my umbrella while my eyes were pasted on the windows of a cafe as If it were looking for something ,or someone?

Just as I was about to leave, a familiar face appeared from the window.

The only figure that was not painted grey in my vision .

Not long, our eyes met .

A passer by paused Infront of me

"It's him" I read his lips , then he walked straight to where he was about to go.

"hmnnnnn."

I couldn't help but utter a very familiar name .

How could I call him so fondly?

It was as if I'd crossed the gap between us from the busy streets of Moontown .

By instinct I waved my hand while he gave me a cold nod and he just walked away from my sight.

I wanted to cross the street.

But my body started shaking and everything seemed to be becoming blurry.

I dropped my umbrella but I didn't bother running for it .

I closed my eyes as I felt my tears running freely on my face . I got a glimpse of how my tears fell to the ground and it seemed as if every drop has silenced the noisy street and the pouring rain.

The sound of those drops and the sound of his name was all too familiar to me.

If it hadn't been for the third drop, our story would have been a fairytale.

Of course the third drop....

A hand suddenly appeared before me while it was holding my umbrella but there was something dripping from those hands .

It was something red .

Before I could raise my head to see whose hands it were .....

Once again , I saw those eyes.

But they weren't gray . I am sure they weren't cold.

But just when I was about to touch his face Everything just stopped.

Everything was postponed on the air,

The rain.

My tears.

And that vibrant red drop.

My eyes were getting heavy , I was trying to fight it but I couldn't help it from closing...

But Before I could completely close them ,

I saw his lips ,

and I could read them clearly ....

He uttered the word ....
