Chapter 40

Tasha

I stood by the road side while watching the cars. The drizzle seemed to be transforming as I had predicted. It was a good thing I carried an umbrella.

I felt someone staring at me from a distance but decided to ignore it. Whoever it was would eventually walk away if I simply played ignorant.

A gentle breeze blew. My hair danced freely and my dress followed it's steps. It was a refreshing feeling. But I suddenly had the urge to turn around and I did.

Standing a few feet away was a man with a black umbrella. He looked surprised but also had a bit of loneliness. He was in a state of melancholy!

I could read his expression but couldn't remember his face. Who was he? I gave a smile and decided to ask.

"Who are you?" His countenance changed. He seemed to have been affected by my question. Why? Was he someone I was aquatinted to but couldn't remember his face? "Can I help you?" I asked further but he smiled sadly and shook his head.
