ACT 118: Rain of Romance
Well, today I went to play badminton with my fellow friends ( especially S7). Before that, I met up with Fabian (one of the new friends that I made this year through S7) and played Chinese chess with him outside the KFC at Gek Poh Community Club. After he had left, I went to the court to wait for S7's arrival. It was raining quite heavily so the weather was quite cooling, but in the badminton hall it is still as warm as usual. When S7 arrived, she looked quite sick. Very soon, we proceeded to do our warm-ups and started to play badminton.
Just as the first session was about to end at 10.00am, I rushed through the exit to escape from the fate of Coach asking me to stay till 11am to help him out in the second session. There was two reason why I decided to skip the second session:
1) It was raining heavily and S7 was sick, thus my instincts tells me to walk S7 home.
2) Without Winston there, I feel bored in the second lesson.
So, I waited for S7 to come out and we walked together. At the sight of me walking in the rain, she asked why am I walking in the rain. I told her that a little of rain will not kill me, and I want to walk her home. After a while, she offered me her umbrella that she was using, but I rejected her offer and told her that her health is of a higher priority than mine. Out of my expectation was that she kept her umbrella and walked in the rain with me saying that if I do not use the umbrella, neither will she. Then I was thinking of this question: How is it possible that two person are using umbrella when there is only one umbrella? I asked Voice about it, and Voice said that it is possible that S7 is hinting me to share the umbrella with her. So, after much hesitation, I took her kept umbrella and opened it for us to share. After a while she asked if I know how to actually hold an umbrella. I replied with a shake of my head and told her that up till now, I have only used the umbrella in less than 700 times. Upon getting that reply, she grabbed the umbrella for me and became the holder of the umbrella. Seeing this, I told myself that I have to do something about it. I thought back about what did I do wrong and i discovered that I was holding the umbrella with my left-hand while she was on my right. Thus, I transferred all of my stuffs from my right to left. After which my right-hand went over and re-took the umbrella again. When we were on the road that leads straight to her house, she grabbed the umbrella and closed it, saying that since since she was already wet, then there was not much purpose to use the umbrella. Before we bid farewell, my right-hand actually went to pat her head once before saying goodbye. It was the first time that I actually touched S7 with the exceptions of handshakes. I am not sure if that action was under my control or through instincts. She did not complain of anything and somehow I felt good about it.
