The Rainy Night Love Story
It was around 10 PM.
Dark clouds had covered the entire sky and heavy rain had started falling across the city. The streets were almost empty, and the street lights reflected softly on the wet road. Arian was standing quietly on the balcony of his small apartment, watching the rain. Rainy nights always made him feel calm and thoughtful. Just then, he heard a gentle knock on the door. At first he thought he might have imagined it. But the knock came again. He slowly walked toward the door and opened it. For a moment, he was completely surprised. Standing in front of the door was Meherin. Her hair was wet from the rain, and drops of water were still falling from her face. She looked tired but peaceful at the same time. Arian looked at her and said, “Meherin? What are you doing here at this hour?” She smiled softly and replied, “Won’t you let me come inside?” Arian quickly moved aside and let her enter the apartment. Inside the room it felt warm compared to the cold rain outside. Arian brought a towel and handed it to her.
“You should dry your hair, otherwise you might get sick.” Meherin slowly dried her hair and sat down on the sofa. For a few moments, neither of them spoke. The only sound inside the room was the rain falling outside. Finally Arian asked, “Why did you suddenly come here tonight?” Meherin stayed quiet for a few seconds before answering. Then she looked at him and said softly, “I really wanted to see you tonight.” Those words made Arian’s heart beat faster. The truth was that he had liked Meherin for a long time, but he never had the courage to tell her how he felt. Suddenly thunder echoed in the sky. Meherin flinched slightly. Arian stepped closer and asked, “Did that scare you?” She looked at him and smiled gently. “When you are here, I don’t feel afraid.” The room became quiet again, but the silence felt warm and meaningful. Meherin slowly stood up and walked toward the balcony. She looked outside at the rain and said, “You know, I have always loved rainy nights.” Arian walked beside her.
“I like them too,” he replied. A soft wind blew into the balcony, and Meherin’s hair moved gently across Arian’s face. He slowly moved her hair aside. For a brief moment, their eyes met. It felt as if time had stopped. Meherin looked at him and asked quietly, “Why are you looking at me like that?” Arian smiled slightly. “Because tonight you look different.” She felt a little shy and walked back to the sofa. Arian followed and sat beside her. Their hands were very close to each other. After a moment, Meherin gently held his hand. “Can I tell you something?” she asked. “Of course,” Arian replied. She looked into his eyes for a few seconds. Then she said softly, “I have liked you for a long time.” Arian was surprised. For a moment he could not say anything. Finally he replied quietly,
“I thought I was the only one who felt that way.” Meherin smiled.
“No, you are not alone.” Outside, the rain continued falling steadily. The soft light inside the room made the moment feel calm and special. Arian slowly held her hand more firmly. “So from tonight,” he said.
Meherin looked at him and asked, “From tonight what?” Arian smiled and replied, “From tonight this story belongs to both of us.” Meherin gently rested her head on his shoulder. Outside, the rain kept falling through the quiet night. Inside the small apartment, two hearts finally understood each other.
And that rainy night became the beginning of a beautiful love story.
