LOVER'S RAIN
Prologue
7:10PM
It’s not everyday that we get the chance to walk under the rain, think deeply, and fall more and more in love.
It may be weird or indifferent to think that with a simple bracelet, I was able to feel such emotions while walking under the cold rain, in this dark night.
In what appears to be such an effortless material, a bracelet that belongs to him, given outside a fast-food restaurant, while waiting for a vehicle to pass for us to go home, under the cold rain, with our fellow schoolmates and even with our past “partners” present, the setting may be inappropriate to some or lacking of romance, yet it’s how and where something meaningful happened to me. It’s where he gave his first “gift.” I don’t know if it should really be considered as that but I would regard it in that way. He was able to achieve the gift I wanted. I remember mentioning to him during one of our phone calls that I easily appreciate gifts yet would not consider taking such an expensive one. Here he was, giving me something that’s his. Why do I even love it so much? Perhaps it’s because of the easy manner he had given it to me or the fact that it’s from the person I love, yet there’s more reason to that. I appreciate it because it’s like giving me a part of him. Its simplicity had touched me. Little as it may look, the bracelet may have more stories behind it. It may have witnessed more events about him than what I have seen. It may have more sense than what can be perceived outside.
It’s crazy walking from the gate of our subdivision to our house, without an umbrella or anything to cover myself; to shelter me from the rain. Some of my schoolmates even saw me. Nevertheless, I didn’t care. The fact that he had given me something that’s his is enough to give me warmth under the cold rain.

“Hala. Ang panget, wala akong ka-close dito sa section ko oh.”
Kasama ko ‘yung barkada sa school and tinitingnan namin ‘yung sections for our junior year. Cheryl and Claudine were in the same section. Kami ni Joy, walang kasama. Oh before I forget, wala pang klase ngayon. Sections become posted at the school, two days before opening of classes.
“Okay lang ‘yan Kathleen. You won’t have any problem getting along with people,” Claudine encouraged.
“Wala naman talaga sa pakikisama. But then ‘yung talagang kasama sa classroom, ang hirap. Sure I have many friends here and yet wala akong makitang permanent partner. Lahat sila may kasama, ako O.P.”
“’Wag kang negative. Makakahanap ka rin. Ako nga wala ding makitang kasama eh,” sabi ni Joy.
“Hay. Good luck na lang sa first day.”
---
“Kathleen oh. Si Boy Aircon, tumitingin dito sa likod. Type ka siguro niyan. Haha…”
“Hindi Andrea noh. Si Aishie ‘yung type niya. Wee… tuwa na n’yan si Aishie.”
“Aba sinama pa ako. Oo na lang ako. Ewan ko sa inyo.”
It’s the first day of school, buti na lang assigned ‘yung seats and okay naman ‘yung seatmates ko. Si Aishie, kakilala ko na siya simula Grade 2. We’re not really best friends pero marami siyang alam na secrets ko. Si Andrea naman, marami kaming mutual friends so ayun, friendships na rin kami.
Sino naman si Boy Aircon? Siya lang naman si Mark. Mark Cunanan. New student last year and basketball varsity player. I don’t really know him, as in wala talaga. Napansin ko lang siya dahil ka-team namin ‘yung section nila sa Intrams last year and nanonood ako lagi ng basketball. Napansin ko siya maglaro but he didn’t struck me at all. Ay, nakilala ko rin pala siya kasi nagbreak ‘yung friend ko at ‘yung gf niya kasi nagselos siya kay Mark. Although I didn’t take the break-up against him naman. Bakit Boy Aircon? Wala lang, naisip kasi ni Aishie dahil nakaupo siya malapit sa aircon, ‘yun na ‘yung codename namin.
Ngayon, nag-gegetting to know kami. Walang kamatayang introduce and tell something about yourself. This time, ang ginawa ng adviser namin, different format.
“Okay, next, introduce yourself, tell 2 truths and one lie.”
“I’m Kathleen Suarilla. Karamihan akala mataray and seryoso ako (truth) pero magulo rin ako tsaka makulit (truth). Most importantly, I don’t lie (lie).”
When I sat down, siniko ako ni Andrea.
“Feeling ko talaga crush ka ni Boy Aircon.”
I glanced at Mark from across the room then turned to Andrea, “Siguro nga pero ewan ko. I don’t think so. Friends siguro.”
It may have been interesting to like and be liked by this guy. Nevertheless, I have my own story now. We couldn’t be something more than friends… could we?
