Novel & Cerita When The Rain Stopped Falling

Ricafort. They hadn’t spoken in years. Not directly. Not since Ezekiel Veylin had swept Isla into his world and turned the tables on both of them—leaving Ava abandoned in a love story she never got to finish, and Ricafort outplayed in a business empire he once nearly controlled. Ava finally broke the silence. “So,” she said, voice silky, “you finally called.” Ricafort gave a cold smile. “Because it’s time. You and I—we want the same thing.”

The Rain That Didn’t Wash Anything Away It started with rain. Not the dramatic kind. Not the kind that felt like punishment or cleansing. Just steady rain over Manila—soft, persistent, almost polite. Like the sky itself didn’t want to interrupt anything important. Zia stood by the window of the penthouse long before sunrise. She hadn’t slept. Again. Not because she couldn’t. But because every time she closed her eyes, she felt the same thing. Distance. Not physical.

Singhal niya. At dahil hindi nito inaasahan ang kanyang ginawa, madali lang niya itong nahila paalis sa kandungan ni Rain at nahulog sa sahig. Napatili naman ang dalawa pero hindi niya ito alintana. Pati ang maharot na musika ay natigil narin sa pagtugtog. Dinampot niya ang basag na bote at akmang ipapalo sa babaeng nasa paanan ni Rain subalit mabilis nitong napigil ang kanyang kamay. "Enough..." Malamig nitong sambit.

She closed her eyes when she felt like she was falling into an abyss. Nang biglang matahimik at mawala ang kanyang pagkahilo ay unti-unti niyang binuksan ang kanyang mga mata. Ruby Rose found herself sitting on the floor of the veranda. She glanced outside and found out that it was raining.

Success! The end.

Hindi nagtagal, naramdaman ko ang pagpatak ng ambon. “Shit!” wala sa sariling napamura ako at nagmadaling maglakad kahit alam ko naman na malabong makarating agad ako sa kotse ko na hindi ko na alam kung saan ko naiparada. “Oh, life!” When the rain started pouring, I couldn’t do anything but stop walking. I was soaked, and so was my bag. Napatingala ulit ako sa kalangitan.

Rain droplets fell on my skin as I looked up at the gloomy, gray sky. Three sharp gunshots broke the silence. With every step I took, I heard the sickening splatter of thick blood and entrails hitting the ground. Down the street, I saw papa on his knees, holding my mama's body. Before long, another gunshot rang out. A soldier appeared, holding a smoking gun. Tears mixed with the rain as they streamed down my face.

The soft strains of the music filled the room, intertwining with the rhythmic percussion of the rain, creating a symphony of sound that enveloped her in its embrace. As she listened, Keisha's gaze drifted to the window, where the world outside was transformed by the falling rain. Each droplet traced a delicate path down the glass, leaving behind shimmering trails that danced in the dim light of the room. The scene was mesmerizing, captivating her senses and drawing her deeper into its beauty. With a smile playing on her lips, Keisha reached out to trace the raindrops with her fingertips, feeling the cool moisture beneath her touch.

"Fine, if that's how you want it. I give up on you Jade, don't ever expect me to be with you ever again as well." At umalis na 'ko. That was the most ridiculous and a fucking waste of precious time on someone who's garbage. But as i was already out of the subdivision, the rain started pour.

At sa ilalim ng walang tigil na ulan, sabay kaming nagpaulan, mahigpit na nakayakap sa isa’t isa. Pagkatapos naming maghiwalay ng yakap, mabilis niyang hinablot ang tie ko, siniil ang labi ko kaya walang alinlangan din akong tumugon sa halik niya. I held her face gently and kissed her deeper under the heavy rain. In that moment, it felt like heaven. Sometimes, when life brings the hardest storms, someone comes... not to stop the rain, but to bring peace inside you.
