[b]Chapter 9
Everyday without fail, I would buy or prepared the three essential meals for Rain because of her lack of mobility. I also changed the light bulbs, fixed the door bell, cleaned up the house, boiled water, put posters to cover the unsightly part of the wall and every little small thingy I could think of and do to improve the overall quality in staying there.
I was her good friend, her maid, her dad, her mum, her companion... everything that I could play as a role.
As I took the bus down to her house, I recalled Rain's sad family tale: Her dad passed away four years back and her mum had a boyfriend that hated her. So they put Rain in this house, paid all the maintenance, pocket money and other essential payment every month and washed their hands off her daily life. Rain hated that kind of life and didn't use much of their money to upkeep her daily expenses - instead she worked as a waitress in a nearby restaurant and used that money instead. She was fired the day she sprained her ankle because she argued with one of the customer and the manager was enraged.
So meanwhile, I had to make sure she lived a decent, reasonable life. I requested more working days from my boss and even set aside portions of my salary for her. Though it was not much, but it should be enough for the month.
She gave me her house key because it was inconvenient for her to open the door since I am coming here for almost two weeks already. Like always, I would attempt to open the door secretly and surprised her with my arrival (Although it's kinda stupid because I am here everyday)
'Tata! I am here, yet again.'
A startled Rain quickly ceased typing her keyboard and moved her mouse. Clicking it twice before she switched off her monitor.
'Oh... you are so early today.'
Rain's behaviour always appeared eccentric and weird when she used the computer. Although I tried to sneak quietly into the house, if it was me, I would have known that someone was coming. Obviously her thoughts was somewhere in Pluto and couldn't return in time to realise that.
Today, Rain seemed a little moody today. She was quiet and her eyes were darted everywhere as we chatted, as if there was something important for her to think about. The good old me contributed that to possible PMS - after all, it could have been since it was near the end of the month.
'Cloud... my ankles feels ok now. Tomorrow, you don't have to come over anymore...¡¯
I was silent. It must have been my continuous presence that could have annoyed her.
'No, no... don't get me wrong. I don't want to trouble you anymore. I am feeling so guilty since the day you came over...¡¯
Actually, I felt happy doing something like that. The intangible happiness of helping someone was wholesomely satisfying. Then again, was it pure voluntary intention from a good friend or was it something else?
Rain stood up effortlessly and walked a few rounds.
'See! I am well now.'
Our conversation was superficially short today. When I took my bag and checked the time, it was the earliest I ever left her house since day one. Rain smiled and bid me goodbye, I could sensed that she wanted to do her stuff privately and I would be a hindrance to her.
As I walked to my bus stop, the sky rumbled and roared. Dark clouds gathered and small drop of rain fell on my clothes.
'Raining?'
