June 13th, Wednesday

A Law student was walking soaked wet in the rain in the busy streets of Manila. She already knew that it was going to rain really hard that day, but instead of bringing her umbrella with her, she gave it to her friend.

She ran at the nearest train station and fixed herself, she waited for the train to come and immediately searched for the seat she personally liked, and as expected she saw the student from the nearby university, again. The girl thought that it might be just a mere coincidence that the guy has always the same exact schedule as her everyday, even on weekends.

Days and weeks passed, but nothing changed. Everyday the girl would find the guy sitting in the front of her seat, as if it is also the guy’s favorite spot. Sometimes, she finds it odd that everyday they are in the exact same place. A Rainy Wednesday night came, everything was a mess, everyone was in a rush, the train was packed and full. The girl decided to ride the train despite the amount of people inside the train, despite her being awkward around a lot of people in a room. She was already tired of waiting for the next train and took the risk and got inside the train.

She was stuck in front of the door and people were being violent because of the uncomfortable crowd. She was about to pass out but fortunately, a guy caught her before she even fell, held her hand and placed it to the pole handle in front of them. The guy whispered, “are you okay?” The girl can’t even think straight and process anything because of the dizziness she feels. Out of instinct the guy moved closer to her and made her lean her head to his chest. The guy usually goes off in Abad Santos station, but decided to stay with the girl up until the last station because somehow, he’s concerned about the girl’s condition. When the train was about to reach its last stop, the guy whispered to the girl leaning towards him,

“We're already on the last stop.”

The girl opened her eyes and immediately apologized to the convenience she caused to the guy she doesn’t even know.

They got off the train and walked side by side silently, both of them hesitating who would break the thin ice that makes their walk awkward, in the end the girl initiated the conversation.

“Architecture?”

“Yeah, you?” the guy answered.

“Law” she answered back with a smile.

The girl was about to talk but the guy talked first and suddenly asked “Are you okay?” The question made the girl stunned and surprised. She just smiled at him because they both know she’s not.

 Her temperature was high earlier and it’s impossible that guy, in where she rested her head and leaned in won’t notice that she’s sick. Both of them continued to walk, both of them didn't even know where they were heading to. 

The guy stopped by in the front of a convenience store and asked the girl to wait for him outside, the girl just nodded and patiently waited for him. Few minutes later the guy came back, with a fever patch, bottled water, warm milk, cup noodles, cupcakes, and a pack of chocolates. 

He asked her to sit outside the convenience store where the tables and chairs were placed. He prepared everything and asked the girl to start eating.

She just stared at him, completely confused.

“Eat, so you would gain your energy and smile again.” he said while placing a fever patch in the girl’s forehead.

She can’t process what he just said, but the only thing she knew was,

She’s thankful.

After a few minutes of hesitating, she ate what the guy gave her, she’s also hungry and tired after all.

“Thank you.” she gently whispered, but already enough for the guy to hear it. They finished eating their “dinner” and cleaned up their table and decided to go home.

Both of them already bid their goodbye, but unexpectedly the guy ran back, held her hand, and asked.

“What’s your name?”

“Elie, you?”

“Taeyong.”

“Thank you for today, Taeyong.”

“See you tomorrow, Elie.”

The next day, The train stopped at the third station and Elie saw Taeyong, entering the train with a warm wide smile on his face. Things felt different that day, even if the weather was bad, the two of them seeing each other felt like it was all sun and rainbows all day. Elie expected that Taeyong was going to sit in front of her seat again, but things went differently. Taeyong sat right beside her, greeted her with a sweet and warm “good morning” and immediately touched her forehead to check her temperature.

“Do you feel better now?” he asked. Elie just nodded with a smile, but deep inside she was actually saying

“Yeah, thanks to you.”

“Do you have a class today? Review? Leisure?” Taeyong asked.

“I’m just going to pick up something and maybe go home early to rest.” she answered.

“Do you want to have breakfast with me?”

“Sure, I’d love that.” she answered with a bright smile.

After that morning, Taeyong and Elie always find themselves sitting next to each other everyday in the train. From the warm breakfasts, a good vibe lunch, sweet afternoon coffee and tea’s to cozy and fancy dinners. Taeyong would always stay with Elie until the last train stopped to accompany her and sometimes, he would also send her home.

Days, Weeks, and Months passed. The relationship between the two of them grew stronger and deeper. They started to have cute and cringey pet names, they became more clingy towards each other. Both of them knew, they were about to fall,

In love.

1st day of September, The sun was already down and the heavy rain was pouring in the busy streets of Manila. T

Taeyong was waiting outside Elie’s university, hours passed, but he still patiently waited. He even had thoughts that maybe the girl is busy, have a lot of things to do. Minutes and hours passed, it was almost midnight, but Taeyong, the man he is, still waited for the girl he likes.

 The clock struck 12, a signal that it was already midnight, and the day already ended, but there was still no Elie coming out the University gate.

Taeyong was about to leave when he saw a beautiful girl coming out of the gate, a girl that has dark brown eyes, pale skin, chapped lips, dark hair that was tied in a bun, wearing a big pair of lenses, carrying a lot of thick books. Despite the fact that the girl was in complete and stress, she still managed to smile at the guy looking at her, lovely.

As Elie was walking towards him, Taeyong stared at her deep brown eyes, he assured her eyes to be connected to his as he was about to say consequential. He held her hand and smiled, the girl noticed his action and asked,

 “Why?” 

Taeyong pulled her into a hug and expressed the fragment of his feelings towards her.

“Atty. Elie Suarez, I’ve loved you from the moment I laid my eyes on you, I see you everywhere, in the stars, in the river; to me you’re everything that exists, the reality of everything. I want to pass through life with you by my side, to be my second self, and the best earthly companion. You became my sun, my moon, and all of my stars.---” The guy stared right into her eyes and said

“I want to spend the rest of my sunsets with you.”

Elie didn’t know what to say, she thought that was the worst day of her life in law school because she got scolded by an attorney, almost failed to attend a class, stayed in the library to finish a lot of syllabus, she ended the day with such a stressful mood, but after all she have Taeyong, waiting for her outside the gate. Despite the heavy rain, cold breeze air, and countless amounts of smoke around the area, Taeyong waited for her, and unexpectedly expressed his feelings. 

Elie felt like she’s the luckiest person alive at that time. She maybe had the worst earlier,but Taeyong started her day, like it’s the best feeling in the world. 

She was about to answer Taeyong’s confession, when the guy’s phone rang. He stared at it for a minute and Elie just shrugged it off and told him to answer his phone first.

Which somehow, she regretted right after.

She found herself in front of a hospital, his ex was pregnant.

She was just there spacing out, can’t even cry, wasn’t able to process anything, everything. An hour passed, he came out and just hugged Elie, crying. He kept on saying, asking for forgiveness.

“I’m sorry.” Taeyong didn’t have to explain why he’s sorry, she knows, he’s the father of that child.

Elie gave a white lie, “It’s okay.”

“Please tell me you love me, I’m willing to risk everything for you, we can start over, we can try again.” Elie just smiled when she heard him.

“You know what? You look tired, go get inside, get some rest. As your friend, I don't want you to get sick too, besides you’re going to have a baby now, your own little star, aren’t you happy?” Elie casually said, trying to hide the pain with a smile.

Taeyong was lost and confused and asked “friend?”

Elie just nodded and smiled, “yeah, we’re friends right?”

“Right, friends.” Taeyong whispered bitterly.

“Anyway, i should go now, see you around Taeyong.” Elie said and smiled as she started to turn her back and walk away, leaving Taeyong alone.

Elie found herself walking in the rain again, alone, lonely, and devastated. The rain poured heavier and made her soaked in the rain, she cried, she finally admitted to herself, she was deeply hurt, but she doesn’t want to be selfish. The child needs a father, she doesn’t want to take him away. Even if it shattered her into pieces.

“Perhaps we’re wishing for each other upon the same star, but I think we did it wrong. Even if you’re not here to stay, I am happy the universe allowed your soul to stop by. Now that I know you exist, how can I not love you? Atleast, we breathed and moved in the same world. In the end, we will all become forgotten stories, I’ll see you when the road decides it's time for our paths to cross again.”

She was never sure if Taeyong was the lighthouse of her life, or the storm.

She cried her heart out, wished and whispered to herself.

“If this is a dream, please wake me up.” as soon as she wished, she woke up.

She immediately checked her phone, and it said

  “June 13th, Wednesday.”
