Rainy

He sits in the quiet of his room with the invading noise of the rattling zinc, it has just started to rain. He picks his phone, almost forgetting he has a pot of rice and beans on the gas cooker. He slides into his WhatsApp "hey girl, you like love story huh?" He has seen her status update and the things she rants about. "It is good to have a friend with whom you just sit...not the kind that you make during exams...you just sit with him and talk about mundane things.." That was her last status. He would find a time to sit with her, maybe in the rain and watch how the water invades the pores on her skin.
