Rural Rain

“Rain..Rain..go away come again another little nitwits want to play.”

It’s been five days since I came back from the province but I can’t help but remember every second of that moment-that moment under the rain. 

I was having my afternoon walk when it started raining. As soon as the first drop touched my skin, I felt mad. Mad and irritated. My afternoon walk was ruined-at least that’s how I thought. I was about to go for a cover when the downpour started but I was glued to where I was standing. The rain, I have never felt the rain that way for a long time! That soothing coolness it gave as it drenched my body. The sweet breath of the wind mixed with the perfume made by the trees and the grass! I was frozen. I was in total awe. I have played with the rain in the city but it was never fun.  That moment under the rain, in a place  where people say rural, undeveloped, and far from technology. The place most people have abandoned-it is where the rain felt truly MAGICAL.
