Just another day, getting bored after coming home early from college, missing Her again, nothing to do, lying on the sofa watching TV. Felt like going out for a walk & i left.
With no thought in mind where to go, i kept walking, thought of going to "the spot" & sitting along side the road. The sky turned grey as i walked on the footpath. I knew it might rain, thought of heading back home, but then, something just kept pushing me to walk ahead. Today, i thought of going inside the park, the tree which i used to see from across the road was too irresistible today. Small drops starting falling & i just kept walking. Crossing the road, i entered the park & it turned as the clouds could feel my presence, sunlight was nowhere to be seen & the small drops slowly turned into rain. As rain took its tall, people gathered under the hut while i walked slowly feeling every drop falling on me & looking at the drops hitting the ground of the park.
I would say, i had never encountered such a beautiful face of rain. I sat down beneath "The Tree" which still looks the same as it did a couple of years ago, watching the empty fish tank getting filled with rainwater. The drops falling on the gathered water, the in numerous ripples being formed, every thing just stopped for a moment, no human presence, no voices, no noises, just the rain drops craving to reach the earth even when they know, that would be there end. The same drops which made me wet, brought the beautiful face out of the nature.
For months, i never felt more relaxed, more comfortable. I don't know, whether it was the rain or "The Tree" or Her thought in my mind which created the magic, but whatever it was, i just didn't wanted it to end. I knew that can't be & soon parting its way through the clouds, sunshine fell on my face just like a spotlight as if it was destined for me. The view of rain on one side & sunshine on the other was speechless. As i looked up towards the sky, the rain drops were clearly visible through the sunshine, rain slowed down its pace & what i experienced is what is called a Silver Lining.
When the sunshine comes to the earth making its way through the edge of the clouds, there is a small instance of time when that edge of the cloud becomes shining silver & that, is one thing worth experiencing before you die. More beautiful than any rainbow, more relaxing than any sunset & more motivating than any sunrise, that silver lining is all what i needed. Even when i didn't wanted the rain to stop, it had to & it did. But if it hadn't, i could have never experienced the silver lining. That couldn't be more meaningful to me at any other phase of my life than this. It came just at the right time, when i needed it the most. I had never imagined that this one walk would give me so much treasure inside me. I don't know whether i would ever experience something like that again, but i would definitely carry it inside me & this is the account of it, which would help me recall it whenever it would be necessary for me to rise up again.
