A Heavy Downpour And The Special Treatment

avatar

I love the rainy seasons, so much and the main reason is because of the cool weather it brings afterwards and also because I was born in one of the most rainy month I guess. In any case, I've always preferred having a cold day than a hot day as I'd be able to keep warm during cold days but would be only restless during hot days.

So yeah, you can guess that I enjoy being under the rain while I was growing up... I loved the game we called "Rain race" back then 😅

If only those days would remain and we will never get older to have more responsibilities to carry, it would have been amazing but no... Reality hit me when I grew up to know better. While I was praying for the rain to fall even harder back then, my dad was struggling to work even under the rain... What an irony of life!

The first day I was sent to the market to get items, I went with a neighbor's child who was made to go with me so I couldn't get lost or loss the money for the items I wanted to buy. The rain started the moment we got to the market and for the first time, I was singing the song... Rain rain, go away! because I needed to go back home soon, just imagine someone who loves being rained on making such a wish.

One experience I can never forget about facing a heavy downpour was when I got lost in a new place I found myself and it started to rain. I had gone there to look for a product that was rare and I was directed to the place, I got to find the product and was on my way back home when the heavy downpour began. I didn't think it would rain so I was with no umbrella and was putting on a very light clothing... The cold that night outside was something else.

It was very dark and the rain was showing signs of not stopping, since my destination was very far, I decided to stay a bit longer at a dark corner I found but I was scared after some time as I was the only one waiting there, I began to walk under the rain looking for vehicles going my way even though there were no signs of them anywhere.

I remember I was about shedding tears when I saw a friend and her family driving by and about to go into a compound, I still wonder how she was able to figure out it was me... Maybe that wear was my favourite one so I've put it on too often 😅 she called me to join them to go inside so I could wait for the rain to subside before I go back home. It was already 8pm when I was relieved from my wet clothes and changed into a warm clothing, her mum prepared a very nice pepper soup with fresh fish for us to take.

They prepared a room for me to sleep when the mum refused that I go home that late since it would be hard to get a vehicle at that time. I had early morning plans the next day but I didn't bother about it as the treatment I got from that family was so overwhelming. They turned on their generated power supply and we saw an interesting movie before going to bed.

I had a good time in that house thanks to the rain, more reasons to love rainfalls but I bet the story would have been different if I had not met a friend that night.

That's hot pepper soup and fresh fish sure goes well with cold weather.
You were also lucky that they noticed you on the road. If you had remained in that corner, they probably wouldn't have seen you.
Everything turned out to be in your favor hehe.
The only reason I don't like it when it rains is because the road gets muddy.

Hehehe. Thank God you met a friend where you got that special treatment. Imagine Merit taking a plate of hot pepper soup inside rain and still got to enjoy the light plus a nice movie. I bet that is one kind treatment you will always pray comes by, especially when it´s rainy season 😄

Seriously childhood rain memories was so much fun, I can't even remember the last time I got drenched in the rain.
