And it rained today

I was not expecting it…. Neither was it anticipated….

After having my dinner while watching a TV show, I heard some noise on my roof top…. What was it? And I realized it was raining, but something was different

Drop by drop it fell, I could clearly hear each drop coming on my roof top hitting as if saying …knock knock…. I switched off the television. Should I talk to them I thought…. Have never talked to them before …  and do they really talk…

Engrossed in the thoughts I just heard them falling…. As I moved in front of mirror… the noise increased as if they were calling me…. And unusually today my heart wanted to talk to them….

In the hearts of my heart I said come talk to me…. No reply…. I said again come talk to me… no reply again…. I asked u wanna talk to me… and a shower just a shower of drops hit hard as if it was asking… ”Why should I?” Not with a hint of arrogance but with hint of teasing voice as if saying I wanna talk but tell me why….

I replied…  Just thought u r alone and so am I … so thought to chat a bit… where do you come from….

No reply again… As I started thinking this is just an infatuation of mind… rain drops don’t talk… may be they talk in heaven….a thought hit my mind…. Does someone talk to strangers? We are still not friends? So how can they talk…

And I walked towards the door …. I thought ill shake hands and make a new friend ….. ill sit down and talk….

As I moved I saw the front of my house was dry… there was wet surface all around but for my front of door….  I looked up and it was a tree….  But maybe i was right .. maybe we were still not friends….

So I moved a bit ahead…. Spread out my hands and said hello….

Just like a girl or a stranger who’s shy and hesitant… nothing fell.. my hands still dry. I could feel some drops all over my body but not on my hand… then the first one fell… a second and a third… I could see them becoming more comfortable……and soon my hand had a dozen of them…

MY hands were not wet… it was just a hand shake …. And then I retured….

I thought that answered my question… they had brought a message from my beloved.. a message of missing a message of a wish to say hello…

I came in and started to write…. I thought it just came to shook my hand as the rain had stopped falling…. No more rain no more sound .. just silence….

I smiled ….. and in my heart I thought .. do rains come just to shake hand….

And as I was writing…. It came again… with a great roar the heavens poured.. as if it was laughing and smiling…. As if it was saying thank U… was great to meet u … and in its laugh I saw my beloved laughing and heavens saying…. What a perfect match u have …..

Thanks Lord ….. thank you…..

I missed saying bbye ... to the rain and it has already passed by... but may be it will return.. if not then now i say bbye... thanks for coming and spending some time with me ......... thanks
