Prologue

In the tapestry of life, I've come to realize that every thread weaves a purpose. A purpose that, at times, may bring joy and laughter, or at others, unravel our hearts and leave us in pieces. But amidst it all, I've learned to embrace the beauty of our typical story—the story of you and me.

Yes, it might have seemed ordinary to some, but to me, it holds a treasure trove of precious memories. Moments I'll forever hold dear, etched in the deepest recesses of my heart. If time could be rewritten, I wouldn't change a single thing, for it is our history, our journey, and our love story.

Life has a way of unfolding its surprises, and I've learned to accept that beauty lies not in the destination, but in the path we tread together. So, I'll cherish every laughter, every tear, and every shared dream that shaped our tale.

As I look back, I realize that our love was never a mere coincidence but a divine interplay of fate and destiny. It's true; things happen for a reason. And I've come to understand that the reason is us—our love, our life, and our history, forever intertwined, forever cherished.

As I sat there, frustration building up with every passing minute in the heavy traffic, the rain outside seemed to mirror my emotions. Raindrops drummed relentlessly on the car roof, adding to the gloomy atmosphere within.

Rain.

It was a familiar backdrop to memories I couldn't escape. Conflicting emotions washed over me like the downpour outside—should I feel joy or sorrow? The rain had a way of bringing back that bittersweet chapter of my life, and it all began and ended with the rain.

Five years ago, it seemed like just yesterday. Time had passed, but the wounds were still raw, the memories still vivid. It was the day I met him, my heart slipping out of my grasp the moment our eyes locked. It was the day I fell in love for the first time, and it was also the day my heart was shattered.

I recalled the days of our youth, when we were only eighteen and innocent, navigating the unfamiliar territory of love. I knew nothing about it then, and the journey was filled with both joy and pain.

As I drove, I couldn't help but let my mind wander back to those moments—our laughter, our silly antics, and our hearts entwined like the raindrops falling from the sky. But just like the rain, our love came to an end, leaving me soaked with memories that refused to fade.

With a heavy sigh, I allowed myself to feel the rain's touch. I rolled down the car window, extending my hand outside, and felt the cool droplets caress my skin. It was as if the rain understood, offering its own form of comfort, acknowledging my emotions, and lending a shoulder to cry on.

In that moment, I realized that sometimes, life's downpours were essential for growth. The rain taught me to cherish the memories, the joy, and even the pain. It taught me to embrace the beauty of love, regardless of how it ended.

As the rain persisted, I knew it was a reminder that heartache was a part of my history, my life story. And as I drove through the storm, I knew I would continue to hold onto those memories, cherishing them forever, for they were the moments that shaped who I had become.
