Serendipitous Rains.

Hi there. So, this is my attempt at a mood piece. Criticism of any nature is welcome. :)

She was stuck in a moment of diffused reality and dream when she jolted out of her afternoon nap. The slanted sun rays that seeped through the window stung her skin. She pulled down the curtains and slumped back on the bed. She had a love hate relationship with afternoon naps. She loved the sound and deep sleep and hated the head rush and the feel of disorientation that followed. As her head slowly found its way back to reality, images of morning flashed by her mind. Ugh. That really happened, didn't it? she thought to herself. Her Sunday morning hadn't gone as planned. One spur of the moment honesty led to a series of events she wished it hadn't. The dust motes scattered as she stretched her hand. They looked beautiful as they swayed along with her hand in the diffused sunlight. It brought a small smile on her face. She instantly got up and started banging her bed with the pillow. The dust motes were a frenzy and went haywire while she played and tried creating patterns.She laughed at her childish behavior and admitted to her mom's constant yelling that her room needed cleaning. The hour hand pointed at 4 on the clock. It had been 6 hours since the fight and she had not got a single text. She checked her phone for the 100th time, the notification bar was empty. She sent a risky text chewing the insides of her cheek with apprehension all the while. She sighed and put down her phone.
She put  Belle and Sebastian on the music system and set off on the task of cleaning her room. A tiresome task. She liked her room the way it was. She usually found her things easily except for her college books which was quite convenient for her. She cleaned her room monotonously for a while until she noticed a change in the lighting of the room. She drew up the curtains to a shadowed sun and cloudy sky promising a good downpour. This elated her heart and warmed up her insides. There was nothing in the world apart from unexpected rains and Nutella that made her immensely happy. She took in the earthly hue and awaited the rain to clear her mind. She stood by the window guesstimating the amount of time it would take for it to rain and get a reply to her text. The downpour commenced  with a thunderous roar when she felt her phone vibrate. A smile slipped out as she read the unexpected text. After reading it several times she put down her phone and dashed out towards the terrace to enjoy the unexpected rains.



Too short? Good? Bad? Tell me about it. I have my boards in 4 days. It hasn't yet hit me. Well, that's it for now. My next post will be on 31st. Until then. Bye. :)
