A Rainy Day of Surprises

Today, it was raining. The weather was beautiful—cool air was gently blowing through the windows, and everything looked so calm and fresh. I woke up a bit late, feeling cozy under my blanket. But that peace didn’t last long. As soon as I came out of the room, Mummy scolded me. She was upset because I hadn’t helped her with anything in the morning.

After giving me a long stare, she handed me some money and told me to go out and buy a few things—some elastic, astar (lining cloth), and a piece of cloth. I quietly took the money and left.

As I walked toward the shop, the roads were wet, and the wind was still cool. I was just about to cross the road near the corner of our lane when suddenly, a black car came and stopped right in front of me. My heart skipped a beat.

Not because some handsome boy had come to see me—not at all. The car had broken down and just happened to stop in front of me. Inside, there was an uncle sitting with his wife and some other family members. I was a little scared, my heartbeat had gone wild, but I quickly walked past the car and went on my way.

I reached the shop and asked for astar, but unfortunately, the shopkeeper said they didn’t have the matching one. So I had to go back home and tell Mummy. She wasn’t happy, and she asked me to go again, this time to a different shop.

I was a bit distracted, still thinking about the car incident, and completely forgot that I was also supposed to buy 3 meters of elastic.

So there I was, going out again, this time to get the elastic. While walking, I noticed two boys on the other side of the road. One of them had a sister who always thought I liked her brother. I don’t know why, but she always looked at me as if I was secretly in love with him. But the truth is, I don’t like him at all.

Anyway, he was there, and this time he was staring at me—again. He was with his friend, and both of them kept looking in my direction. It made me feel a bit uncomfortable, and I didn’t want to go to the shop alone.

So I quickly called my friend and asked her to come with me. She agreed, and we both went together to the shop.

This time, we stood confidently in front of the shop, told the shopkeeper what we wanted, and made sure everything was correct. We got the elastic and astar, and finally, I felt like the day was coming back on track.

Even though the day had a shaky start—with rain, scolding, a car stopping out of nowhere, and boys staring like I’m the main character in their drama—I managed everything. The rain made everything feel magical, the kind that turns even a small walk into a little adventure.

And by the end of the day, I had something to smile about.
