There she sat.
Admiring the rain from the window.
Looking at her own reflection being consumed by the mist.
” Pit,Pat,Pat ” The rain softly patting the glass and echoing in the house.
But she wasn’t bothered by it as she wasn’t in this time anymore.
Each raindrop brought her back memories she could relive again and again.
Like how she would jump bare feet, from one muddy puddle into another.
Like how she made boats with the papers from her notebooks rather than write in them.
Like how she would jump, higher and higher, trying to catch at least one raindrop before it fell to the ground.
Like how she would rather bathe in the rain than under a warm shower.
Like how she would fog every glass panel she could find, and draw smileys on them.
Like how she would challenge and race each raindrop that fell against the window.
Like how she would stare at the sky, hoping to get a glimpse of a rainbow peeking out somewhere.
Like how she would count the interval between each raindrop.
Like how she would wriggle her arms through the grills, just to feel the rain against her.
Like how she couldn’t wait to get her hands on a mug of piping hot cocoa.
Heaving a sigh, she wished she could see the grass seeming more greener, the earth smelling more fresher, the sky looking clearer after a single shower.
But alas! All she could see now was the horizon filled with skyline of skyscrapers rather a treeline trying to scrape the sky, the clouds more black and flat rather than grey and fluffy, the lanes of concrete roads instead of fields of grass.
Oh ! How she wished she could turn back time !!
