Under The Rain's Pagoda
"***My goodness! Such a rude person! Ugh!" I lashed out after a man suddenly bumped into me. I Walked back into my car to fix my clothes, there were several hints of splash of coffee in my Blazer. "Damn it!" I shouted.
I drove into a nearest CHANEL STORE , it was only three blocks away from where I was so I decided to just bought a new one.
I only had one extra blazer's with me just in case, I picked up the extra blazer from the shotgun seat. "WHAT THE ****?!" I let go of the blazer, it fucking smelled like a leak of alcohol.
"WHAT THE **** DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?!" I shouted in Disbelief. I took out the Extra Blazer out of my car while pinching my nose so I wouldn't smell it.
I ran to a nearest trashbin, I then threw my extra blazer that smelled a leak of alcohol into the bin immediately, I suddenly ran towards my car and immediately close it because people are starting to look at me.
"Zephyr Calm down..it's a friendly day today" I started my car then drove off.
"What are the purpose of pagodas? The pagoda's original purpose was to house relics and sacred writings. This purpose was popularized due to the efforts of Buddhist missionaries, pilgrims, rulers, and ordinary devotees to seek out, distribute, and extol Buddhist relics." I lectured." So, Mr. Sulivan. Why is the Pagoda built in the first place? " I asked the student.
"The pagoda structure derives from that of the stupa, a hemispherical, domed, commemorative monument first constructed in ancient India. Initially, these structures symbolized sacred mountains, and they were used to house relics or remains of saints and kings " Sulivan the student answered with confidence.
"Job well done! Sulivan."
The bell rang then after. I tidy up my stuff and turn of the monitor projector after my lecture.
I am a Professor teaching history with a Master's Degree in Ancient History at State Castallion University. I have been teaching for 3 years now and I am delighted to be so.
Teaching was a just a disguised of mine. I needed a Profession that could interest me. I love History, My Father and I always had time to talk about History. We Loved History more than anything.
All those Years of Friendship, Love, Constant Failures at College,Revenge Heartbreaks and The downfall of my family, destroyed and created as what I am today.
I am contented with my present self today. The day when my family was dragged to the mud, our house on ruins. My Sibling's bathed in blood, My parents with a hole upon their foreheads, was burned in my mind for all these years.
I vowed to take Revenge for the destroying My Family.
I asked myself, what did my family do to deserve this?, My father was a Professor, My mother was a Painter. I was Seven and My siblings were newborns.
We were just an average family living in a house fit only for us four. A place where people can't find easily.
We were just a family who is just leaving peacefully.
So why is it, that they died infront of me?
Those questions filled my thoughts to the brim.
but then, an regretful encounter that shouldn't had happend in my life.
Two years ago...
I was taking pictures of the pagoda with my Film Camera when a downpours of rain appeared.
"AGH!" I slipped unto the stairs while climbing it. It was too slippery and the stairs was also too steep.
I collected myself to stand up, when a Man suddenly held my elbow.
"Excuse do you need me to assist you?" He asked.
I didn't think much and just accepted it just like that. It is raining and I don't have time to refuse someone's help in this weather.
I am lucky enough that there was someone to offer help. My Knees were already bruised and a small leak blood came from the scratch that it made it much worse.
He covered us with a jacket came from him as we rushed towards the pagoda.
"I don't think this rain will stop". He told me "Can I take a look at your bruised?" He asked.
I looked at my bruised that I got from slipping earlier. "Yes, Sure you can". I gave him permission.
He kneeled infront of me to take a good look of my bruised. "There's blood leaking, We need to treat this fast or else it'll get worse if it doesn't." He suddenly then searched in his pockets to get something, It was a handkerchief.
He first cleaned up the blood, then wrapped the handkerchief to my knees.
I was mesmerized by he just did, I never expected for my life to encounter a situation like this ever since a tragic incident happend to me.
I was dazzled by his actions towards me, he was gentle and careful. And his hands were so beautiful for a man to wrapped around a handkerchief to a woman's knees.
What kind of thoughts that just lingers in my head?, Duh! It is normal for a gentleman to help a Lady in need right? What a delulu Zephyr.
He stood up. "It is done. just don't touch it often. it could get worse if it happens." He spoked with a Calm and Soothing Voice.
He was so Good Looking. Monolid eyes with the color of Amber. Groomed brows.
Straight Nose. Defined Lips. His well defined jaws complemented his face a lot.
He was very pleasing to my eyes, it's as if I was looking an Rare Ancient Artifact in a Museum.
"Miss?" He looked at me with him tilting its head.
"Ah Yes! , thanks for helping me." I replied back.
Constant downpours of rain filled the silence, as thunder comes in, our heartbeats in sync. as the sound of rain bangles the pagoda.
"hey, what made you come here visit the pagoda? I asked to break the silence of the two of us. "to take photos just like you" He pointed out the Film camera that was in my neck hanging.
"same interest we have huh?" I replied back with a small smile. "and what about you? What made you come here?" He asked me back with a curiosity in his face.
"oh, this is one the places my father wanted to go ever since. It's just that he is currently resting... at home" i answered with a hint of smile in my face.
" it must've been nice to go in a destination with a purpose and a reason" he told.
I chuckled, I glanced at him to take a glimpse on his face. His face wet hair made my cheek turning hot red potatoes.
He glanced to take a look at me suddenly turning red. I was hot and sweating, i couldn't calm myself down. He leaned himself to take a glimpse at me, "are you having a fever? Your face. Seems hot." he asked concerned.
I didn't answer. I was shy as ****! He was too much to handle to me. While I was feeling myslef hot. Out of nowhere, a jacket was wrapped around me.
"I think you needed it to cover up. You're similar to a trembling puppy".
What? Similar to a what? A Puppy? Who Me?
"I'm sorry?, did you just say I'm a what? Similar to a trembling puppy?" I asked with disbelief.
He chuckled. "No, what I'm trying to say is that you're expression is like an little puppy lost in a park and got drenched by the rain." he clarified.
What's up with this man point of view?. my impression of him suddenly changed. it's almost as if he was making fun of me.
" what a weird way to say that. " i replied.
His lips rosed and turn around to look out to the sorroundings, suddenly he. "I'm Reid Sone Lee" introduced.
"Zephyr Haz Vien" i introduced back. we talked several such as interests and hobbies. That time, was something I realized that I shouldn't have just encounter him there. The son of the Man who Killed My Family and burned down our house to Ashes***.
