Pap Hujan Di Jalan Novels & Stories

I know i should be happy but why am i feeling that smile is an signal for me that "Beta ab toh tu gaya. (Now you are gone)." Nevertheless, we eat out food hurriedly because the climate was turning worse. The rain was pouring like cat and dogs. We went towards the counter to pay our bill. Then we heard in Radio that "A few trees fell due to heavy storms at outskirt place of mumbai. Govt. are prohibiting people to go on that road. But thankfully the storm has stopped. People are trying to clear the road. Hopefully everything will be fine by the morning." "We are going that way. Right??" Tani asked me.

Julian was alert the entire time. Even though the rain was heavy, he kept his eyes and ears open as he monitored the surroundings at all times. If there was any abnormality, he would spot it immediately. The only problem was that he was soaked to the bone in the downpour. When he reached the corner, he finally made it out of Scenery Street. The road conditions here were clearly much better; there were no floating manhole covers on the water's surface, and the water flowed neatly into the drainage channel. There was no water stuck on the road, either.

After 100 meters of Aiden's super car, the road ahead looked very congested, as if there were roadworks in the middle of a heavy rain like this. "Wow... traffic jam, how is it?" Aiden asked, meanwhile the drenched Nina looked even paler and shivering. "Okay, I'll just get off here! I'll walk to the bus stop." "In wet clothes like that?" "It's okay, thank you!" "Hey, want to come to my apartment?" ***

Penny held the umbrella as she walked, but she did not get far before noticing that the bottom of her trousers was drenched. A car stopped beside her and honked twice. She thought it was Jeremy Tate again, and a hint of impatience appeared in her eyes. The car window opened a crack, and Jade's voice came from inside. "Come in. You can’t drive off now. There’s a traffic jam and a crowd." Penny looked at the place where she parked. The place was crowded, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. She decided to accept Jade's act of kindness. She thanked her, opened the car door, and got in.

The sky above the buildings had turned a deep purple. Within two blocks, the clouds opened up. A violent storm slammed into the city streets. Rain pounded against the windshield. The wipers moved back and forth as fast as they could, but they could not clear the water quickly enough. I could barely see the road. The bright store signs blurred behind the sheets of rain. "I cannot see the lines on the road, boss!" Aris yelled. He gripped the steering wheel with both hands as the van slid slightly when the tires hit a deep puddle near the highway.

"A sudden downpour earlier today has led to a major traffic accident on the highway to the airport in Charcot City," My gaze glued on the screen as my heart skipped a beat. The footage showed scenes of overturned vehicles and emergency responders rushing around in the pouring rain. What should have been a relief after the relentless heatwave had turned into a disaster. Among the wreckage, a truck had collided with a car, causing chaos on the already slippery roads.

"Always remember to smile, Chantylle. You are not allowed to be rude at him, do you understand?" Papa instructed to me as he started driving our car. I rolled my eyes and did not answered. My head is leaning on the window's car while I watch the rain from the clouds to drop on the ground. I noticed how people on the sidewalks were trying to avoid it in the use of umbrella. Some of them were running. Funny to think how a lot of people hate rains. While I love it so much..

Hail pinged the roof, and a bolt of lightning burst across the sky. The rain continued all day. It stopped for a bit in the evening, but started up again by Tuesday morning. By Wednesday, it had rained so hard that flash flood warnings had been issued across the state, and the river was about to flood from its banks. There was so much water that the unpaved roads around Heron’s Landing—and there were plenty of them—turned to mud, and many of its citizens had to stay home or walk to their destination, as any vehicle would get stuck the moment it was put in drive.

I headed to the jeepney waiting shed to wait for a ride to the place where I work tonight. But bad luck seems to be following me! Suddenly, it rained heavily without warning, so I ended up getting a little wet. Panicking and trying to keep my bag dry, I held it over my head and ran to the waiting shed I was heading to. I took refuge there to wait for the rain to stop and to get a ride if a jeepney passed by. I knew it was impossible for a jeep to pass by here at this time, especially since the rain made the roads impassable for public vehicles. I don't know why, but maybe it's because of the law in our province.

The wide, blue skies in the yonder were covered with dark, grey clouds that soon yielded countless raindrops in haste, showering over the road full of taxis, jeepneys, vans, and personal use vehicles, honking endlessly along with the loud pitter-patter of the rain in and giving birth to an unholy, inharmonious melody joined by the hollers of vendors promoting the products they are selling, the wet footsteps of strolling and chatters of civilians, workers and the mirthful giggles of children singing while playing on the side of the road, finding joy in the chaos around them. The brisk breeze blew by Habagat propelled in every direction, sprawling like wild coyotes hunting for some prey that c
