After The Rain Novels & Stories

Only then, things were different here. After the rain, the tiled asphalt glistened, holding the weariness of the rain. And with every movement of the carriage wheels, every stone on the ground trembled, heading toward the people. First a shudder in the little stones, and then a thunder that made everyone shudder. Lifting their heads up, people angrily opened their umbrellas and moved on. The rain wanted to start dripping, but seeing that everyone was on standby, it moved aside. And as people relaxed and forgot about the bad weather, the rain abruptly began to fall, catching everyone in its embrace. With each quickening step, the rain got heavier and heavier. I

The air felt fresh and invigorating, the scent of wet earth and blooming flowers filling their lungs. Jace couldn’t help but smile at the sight of the woods, glistening with droplets that sparkled in the sunlight. “Wow, everything looks so vibrant!” he exclaimed, taking in the beauty around them. “It’s like the storm gave the forest a new life!” “Let’s keep exploring!” Leo said, his excitement renewed. “We might find some cool things now that the rain has passed.”

Samantha’s father greeted. “You surprised me! You got here so fast,” said Samantha. “Tintin opened the door for me,” Gabriel replied. “I see. Alright, let’s eat,” Samantha said, and everyone sat down together. They enjoyed a happy dinner. After eating, they decided to relax for a while. Since the weather was hot, Gabriel suggested that he and Samantha take a dip in the pool to cool off. The house they bought was large and had its own pool, so it was the perfect time to unwind. They tucked their daughter into bed first before heading out.

The sender was anonymous. I guessed it was probably a former colleague still bitter about Trehill, or someone wanting to see Daniel humiliated. I stared at the photo for a few seconds. There was no satisfaction or pity, only a near-calm indifference. The mountain that once crushed me had long since eroded into a heap of dust by the roadside, unnoticed. And I had crossed that mountain, now seeing a wider world beyond. I hit delete and blocked the number. Some images aren’t worth keeping, just like how some people didn’t deserve space in memory.

The roar of thunder that sounded above us was the only hint for what Raina had planned. A bolt of brilliant lightning shot down from the sky and struck right in the middle of our circle, causing men and women to jump from their seats. The bolt was so bright people had to shield their eyes. In the center was a crater of scorched earth, everything within a foot of the strike burnt to a crisp. Smoke billowed into the air and Raina summoned a gust of wind to blow it away. The grass around the ring of destruction was lit with small flames, looking like a halo of wildfire. A flick of Raina’s wrist had rain falling to extinguish the embers and cooling the ground.

Her caption read: “Some places don’t haunt us. They just hold our echoes until we’re ready to listen again.” He stared at it until the letters blurred. He liked the post before realizing what he’d done. Reflex. Then he froze, thumb hovering over the screen, wondering if she’d notice. If she’d know. The username @aftertherain wasn’t much of a disguise. He’d chosen it years ago, when they were still together, for a photo blog he never finished. She’d once told him the rain always sounded different after an argument softer, cleaner. “Like it forgives the sky,” she’d said.

A moment passed, and the rain halted. Their eyes still closed, breathing in each other's embraces, until, the hue of daylight after the rain passed on their warmth in the light, and their eyes dazed in that tranquility, before looking at each other with an excitement of continuing their endeavor; getting off, aloud on the drenched road, the trunk was opened, to have their kind of picnic as the grass would be still soaked to lay a cloth.
