THE RIDE
For ABANG PATE
Because when I was sad and thought misery was all that was left, he told me to indulge, to write .******
It started to rain and they had to take shelter in a dingy shop. She was furious at herself for something she did earlier and for pulling him into that shit. He on the other hand was mesmerised by how pretty she looked even while swearing and how her nose turned pink when angry.
"Baby I am sorry you are getting late because of me" she said guiltily
He smiled" trust me I had nothing better to do and please stop saying you are sorry"
That calmed her nerves and they stood together listening to rain waltz to the beats of their heartbeat, not fast paced but slow and soothing like when you are at ease with yourself .
When the rain turned to a light drizzle, she now all happy told him they should get going.
He didn't mind waiting with her for another hour or so moreover to get going would mean to drop her at her friend's place. But she insisted and became animated and he gave away to his lady's charm.
As the old bike came to life, she put her hands around him and felt his shoulder relax. She liked this, the drizzle, the cranky voice of the bike and her man. She started to sing, that was one of the weird things she did and strangely it never bothered him. Even stranger was that he sang along with her and everything leading to that point, the heartbreaks, the endless doubts, life, failures and dreams made perfect sense to her. That moment rain drenched she knew it had to be him because only a guy as crazy as him could accept her with the brokeness she felt inside and thanked her stars for him. She loved this guy and how his eyes wrinkled when he laughed,how the dimple formed on the left side of the cheek and how his moles took the shape of the constellations.
When they were almost there she told she wanted to have momos because that way she could be with him a while longer . They stood under the umbrella greedily relishing what little time they had with each other. She realised she would miss the bike rides like this ,the rain, the proximity they shared when they get a car later. Meanwhile the guy thought how he would keep the bike when they get a car and go for rides like this despite their busy humdrum lives. The engine started and full stopped their thoughts. As winds caressed their faces, laughter and their singing mellowed their heart , their heartbeat were in perfect sync and they were wildly in love with each other. When it was time for her to leave, he kissed her lovingly at first but longingly later imprinting in their heads that she was his now and he would do anything to keep her happy for now and forever and she happily believed it...
not THE END
