Chapter 8: 08. The Rain

Out of the minimarket, the atmosphere outside suddenly changed. The light from the sun that had started to scorch has now turned cloudy and drizzling.

A light breeze blew, blowing Anna's hair. The cold air tickled the nape of her neck, occasionally she rubbed her arm to slightly reduce the cold that greeted her. Standing for a moment under the canopy of the minimarket, Anna reached out to feel the drops of water falling.

Feeling that the rain was not too heavy, Anna stepped out of there. One of her hands rose to protect her face from the drizzle. Walked through the outskirts of the shops that were in the same direction as the minimarket. Currently, Anna only has one goal, to return to her boarding house.

The girl lived not far from there, it only took a few minutes to walk before she could reach her boarding house.

During the trip, there are lots of Christmas knick-knacks that decorate the trees along the way. Various kinds of decorative lights were seen snaking around several types of plants that she encountered on the side of the road.

Anna quickened her pace, afraid that the rain would get heavier. However, what she was afraid of suddenly happened. The rain is falling harder. The water droplets that felt smooth on her skin for a moment then turned into large and swift droplets of water, a little painful if it hit the skin.

Anna ran to the courtyard of the shops that seemed closed for shelter. Some motorists passing through the road were also seen pulling over and parking their vehicles in a hurry and taking shelter, perhaps because they didn't have any or just forgot to bring their raincoats.

The clothes Anna was wearing were slightly wet, the hunger and thirst bothered her greatly. The girl opened the plastic bag containing the food she took from the house of a man she did not recognize, and then she searched for a suitable seat for her.

Even though the food was cold, at least it could fill her energy a bit. It wasn't that Anna had forgotten everything that had happened to her since yesterday, she was just trying not to think about it, even though these events often played like a broken record in her head and she couldn't control it.

It's not that Anna doesn't feel a broken heart.

It wasn't that Anna wasn't feeling frustrated.

The girl now even wanted to scream and cry profusely so that the whole world would know her feelings. To be honest, during the trip to the minimarket where she worked, it wasn't that she didn't want to cry. Anna just held it in.

The wind blew again, bringing fine raindrops and managed to make the girl sitting a little shiver. Anyone can see her lips quivering.

She took a few slices of bread and devoured it slowly. The smell of the food mixed with the rain tickled her senses, maybe because at this time the girl was not far from the food stall that was already busy with visitors.

Anna's attention was diverted, her gaze turned to a small child in shabby clothes who watching several customers eating their food in the restaurant, The clear glass of the restaurant allowed one to see the entire contents of the room even though the person was only outside.

Feeling uncomfortable, Anna finished the piece of bread in her hand and walked over to the child. Just past two shops and Anna was there.

Squatting slowly beside the little boy, Anna patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"You're hungry? Want to eat?" asked Anna softly to the child.

Noticing Anna's presence, the boy flinched slightly, then looked at the girl for a few seconds and then nodded without making the slightest sound.

"Come on, come with me," said Anna, bringing the child to sit in the closed shop yard right next to the restaurant. Maybe because Christmas celebrations are coming up soon, so many shop owners who are Christian have closed their shop to get ready to celebrate Christmas.

Picked up some used cardboard that was lying carelessly and brought it to where the little boy was standing. Did not say much, the child just silently watched Anna.

"Let's sit down," said Anna after placing the cardboard as a seat for the little boy.

"By any chance, I have some food. Even though it's cold it's still good. for you, let's eat," Anna said again, holding out the plastic bag in her hand. Inside there were only a few slices of bread and some heavy food that she had taken from the man's house. Maybe she was called a thief, but the man also threw away her clothes arbitrarily.

The boy just nodded, looked around, didn't know what he was looking for, then took the plastic bag that Anna held out.

He takes out some food from there and eats it very fast like a very hungry person.

"Slow down, don't rush, no one will take your food," said Anna to the child, without realizing it the corners of her lips curved slightly into a very sweet smile. This was her first smile after last night.

A few moments later, suddenly a middle-aged woman came, and she takes food that was being devoured by the child and thrown to the floor.

"I told you, there's no time to eat before making a lot of money," shouted the middle-aged woman forcing the little boy who was eating to stand up very rudely and dragging him away.

"Wait," Anna shouted trying to stop them.

The woman ignored Anna's screams and continued to walk through the heavy rain, the little child she was dragging just sobbed under the pouring rain.

Seeing that sight, Anna's heart seemed to be sliced. She knew this was none of her affairs, but the girl could not bear to see a child being treated like that. Anna was about to give chase but they had already disappeared at the end of the road.

Looking at the scattered food on the floor, Anna sighs a breath. Too bad. Yet she was also very hungry. She looked up at the sky which was getting darker, it seemed like it would rain for a long time.

Anna sat back down on the cardboard where the little boy had been before.

A few hours passed, the rain began to subside. Anna prepares to leave, a black car enters the parking lot of the restaurant, the girl's hand reflexive lifts to block the glare of the car's headlights that are very bright from hitting her.

Seeing the parked car, a man came out from there with an umbrella in his hand.

Knowing who it was, Anna's body stiffened. Suddenly she sat back in her original position.

Why did that man have to appear now?

It was Brian, their position was only about some meters away.

Seen the man walking to the left side of the car, a woman gracefully grabbed the man's arm, slightly pressed her body against Brian's body which she seemed to like very much.

The memory of the incident where Anna saw the two of them making love again swirled in her head, whereas she had just forgotten it even if it was only for a few minutes.

Anna looked down, trying to hide her face between her knees which she hugged tightly, hoping that they wouldn't see her there.

The two of them walked towards the entrance of the food stall which looked more like a small restaurant.

"Where are you going, honey?" The woman asked Brian as he stopped before reaching the door.

"Wait a minute, honey, you go in first, I'll catch up later. There's something I want to make sure," Brian said later.

"Okay, don't take long." The woman entered first, while Brian walked towards the shop which was right beside the restaurant.

While on the other hand, Anna who heard the sound of footsteps approaching her suddenly stiffened, hiding her face. Her long hair seemed to have covered her face until her legs.

"Miss, can I ask you something?" The voice that Anna so longed for reached her ears.. Now, Brian was right beside her.
