"The Rain Between Us"
It was a quiet afternoon when Ariana first noticed him.
The sky was heavy with clouds, and people rushed past her, trying to escape the coming rain. But she stood still at the bus stop, lost in her thoughts. That's when a boy stepped beside her, holding a black umbrella.
"You should stand closer," he said softly. "You'll get wet."
She hesitated, then smiled a little and moved under the umbrella.
"I'm not afraid of rain," she replied.
He looked at her, amused. "Maybe. But I am… afraid you might catch a cold."
That was the beginning.
Days turned into weeks, and somehow, they kept meeting at the same place, at the same time. Sometimes they talked for hours, sometimes they just stood silently, sharing the same umbrella.
His name was Noah. He loved the rain.
She loved the quiet.
One day, the rain didn't come.
Ariana waited… and waited. But Noah didn't show up.
The next day, and the next — still no sign of him.
Her heart felt strangely empty, like something important had slipped away without warning.
Then, one evening, when the sky finally broke into rain again, she saw him.
Standing there.
Same umbrella. Same gentle eyes.
"You disappeared," she said, trying to hide the hurt in her voice.
He smiled, but there was something different in it.
"I had to… but I came back."
"Why?"
He stepped closer, holding the umbrella over both of them again.
"Because no matter where I go," he said quietly, "the rain feels incomplete without you."
Ariana felt her heart race.
"And you?" he asked. "Did you miss me?"
She looked at him, the rain falling softly around them, and whispered—
"I hate the rain… when you're not there to share it."
He didn't say anything.
He just held her hand.
And for the first time, the rain didn't feel cold anymore.200
