The Rain

Chapter 5

Days had passed Hanzal and I, have been busy lately, we don't talk and see that much because of finishing all our school requirements this semester. Everytime I got home either he is not home or asleep, same as me. I walk up early without the help of Hanz, I don't want to be burden to him.  I used my phone as alarm clock and push myself to wake up and prepare the breakfast. It's Saturday, we don't have class but I have to go to school I have requirements to finish, after this exam and summer. This year is a bit tiring because were third year and we're about to graduate after a year.

I prepare egg, ham, hotdog, milk and bread. I cannot cook by the way. Hanz is a good cook. This is the first time I prepare food for him and I'm nervous. Even if this instant and basic food I don't want it to look bad but good and presentable. I get two glass, two plates, two knife and fork. After I prepare the table I went to his room enter without knocking. Hanz, don't lock his room because he reason out I'm his wife and I have the rights. So yeah.. I guess.

I saw him sleeping peacefully, his thick eyelashes makes me jealous. I stare him and admire his beauty which stole my heart before. This man is getting hot and handsome. My eyes landed to his sultry lips, clean shave jaw makes different. I saw him before in the bathroom before struggling to shave his mustache but I ignore him. I wish, I was a better wife for him. Trace his lips with my finger down to his jaw I can't resist the urge to kiss his kissable lips. My mind fighting at back if I kiss him or not. Well, I let my angel side win. I'm his wife so I can kiss him. I gently press my lips to him and feel the softness of his that now met mine.

"I love to get a kiss every morning, love." startled of the voice, I accidentally punch his face.

"Ouch."

"Ohmygosh! I'm sorry. You startled me." I panic and reach his face to see if it's bad. I sigh when it's not. I'm such a joke punching him.

"I'm really sorry Hanz." I told sincerely. It stared at me for a moment and then stood up. It's already grinning then suddenly it got serious. I wonder what's his thinking.

"You just don't know how happy I am now, Anneliese. This is the first time you woke me up. This is also the first time you kissed me that I didn't ask for." Says seriously. I was about to reply when he continue.

"I was scared, Anneliese. You may never do it again or maybe you'll do more often and after I get used to it. You will leave me eventually." Why does he think like this .. But it's really true that I might leave him. I clear my throat and suddenly thought the food I had prepared was now getting cold.

" Let's go to the kitchen, the food I prepared is already cold."I said and walked out of his room. He followed silently. The morning was peaceful because no one spoke to the two of us. Only the sound of cutlery could be heard. Because I was getting deaf to the silence, I spoke.

"Can you drive me to school? I was too lazy to drive my car." I speak. He lifted his head and looked into my eyes.

"Yes, I also have something to do at school. I will finish my thesis. " Instead of being happy with his answer and I couldn't help but be disappointed because of the cold of his voice while saying it. He's getting disappointed again.

His car stopped, proving that we were already here at school. I was about to open the car door but I was stopped and it came out to open it for me. I say thank you but he just nod.

"Uhmm, what time will you finish?

"By Eleven, maybe"

"Then, I'll just wait for you on the bench of the soccer field. Is that okay?"

"Pretty, good." After talking, he walked towards where his thesis groups. It's just the first thesis now but it will be more difficult next school year because we are in our 4th year. I also go to the club I join. The club of nerds. Joke. Club of Journalist. I'm one of them.

"Anne, my gosh. Sorry to tell you this but we forgot to add your writings to the publish newspaper. We just noticed when I finished printing the newspapers and then I read them." Veanne said apologetically.

I can't help but regret, even though my only contribution to the new ESchool Journal is poetry, I still want to publish it. Everyone is required to get a newspaper because they have already paid, including the school fees. Maybe he'll get to see ...

I gave veanne a smile and said it's okay because it's just poem.

"I'm really sorry, Anne. Because last night I was sleepy. I told Rex to check my work but he said it was okay."

"Hey, you didn't tell me that there was a poem that Anne submitted. You just told me about Rhea that her article was about Intramurals."

"Still. Did you not wonder why Anne's name isn't there? Really, Rex. You know Anne always submitted something. She never missed one."

"Fine. Okay, it's my fault too. Happy?"

"Why are you angry? I guess you don't want to admit." Veanne replied.

"Excuse me, Miss Veanne. I guess you hear me awhile ago. I said I admit it's my fault too. Now, shut up." And they started fighting. I just let them go, we are used to always arguing and blaming the two even before.

I have finished liquidating the money spent on Eschool Journals because it will be forwarded to the Student Council President. Everyone doesn't want to do this in the summer and opening class so it's better to finish now so we can be free.

I stretched my body and suddenly was hungry. I looked at the time on wrist watch. It was only 10 AM so I picked up my bag on the side and said goodbye to the others.

"Goodbye, everyone. See you on next semester"I said. Everyone wave their hands with smile on their faces.

Because I was hungry I went to the cafeteria and bought a burger and juice just to get rid of my hunger. After buying, I go straight to the soccer field where you can see the cloud clearly. I sat down on the bench and put my bag away. I slowly ate my burger as well. As I looked around, I suddenly remembered that this is where Hanz and I first met. It was raining at that time. The strength of the wind is strong and the pain of the raindrops.

There was a man stunned and standing in the middle of the soccer field. It did nothing but get soak. He let the raindrops flowing down his body. It holds papers in its right hand. It's wet too. I would have gone home when my eyes noticed him. Why he let his self get wet in the rain? I asked myself. Because I want to be able to answer my question. I went to him. I tapped it on the shoulder and it slowly faced me.

Even though he was wet from the rain, I could still see that he was handsome. Shock to see his face -- someone interrupt me.

"Were you waiting that long?" I smile at him and shake my head.

"No." I said. He smiled and nod.

"Okay, let's go home. Let's have a date." He said. Hanz and I have agreement. Every Saturday is our date, either we go outside or stay home.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Surprise me." I said. He laughed and said okay.

"Okay, then, love."
