Missing The Rain

I walk to the market to looked for Cindy, my friend who helps her mom to sell vegetable there. The market looks busy as usual. At first, i always stopped for hours at the fish shop just to be amazed by their looked, the colorful, the beauty, their elegant swimming inside the aquarium. Then i visited the bakery shops to smell the sweet aroma of the new baked bread. After some hours walking, still i couldn't find my friend, not also her mom. They don't have their own shop, just make their own temporary table and put it anywhere there is space. I wonder if they don't come today or already went home. I hope nothing bad happened to them. I already feel my tired feet and feel the need to find place to sit. Suddenly i see a very bright but soft light near the big apple tree. The more i look closer the more iam amazed by the look. He is very tall, more tall than the apple tree. He has big wings and look at the old man who is sleeping under the tree. The more i get closer the clearer i see how beautiful the light. I saw one apple fall from the tree and the light hand catch it before it hit the old man head. I was suddenly laughing happily, and the light man looked at me smiling. He spread his wings and his light is more bright than the sun. He offered me the apple that he catch then he blew the apple tree and moved all the leaves. I was so amazed and i run laughing around the light man happily. Iam so happy to have a new friend. I guess i laughing too hard so i waking up the old man. The old man looked at me and asked, "Beautiful girl, what is your name, how old are you, do you like bread?" He offers me his small bread inside the small box that he brings from home for his lunch. I saw he had some fruits inside the box, I guess he didn't sell much fruits today. I said, " My name is Lilly, iam 5 years old now." And he asked again," Where is your parents, where do you stay?" I said to him that I lived near and pointed at the street where i used to walked to my house. I was so focused with the old man that i don't see when the light man disappeared. I asked him, "Do you see the light man? I played with him before." Then he stand up, take his small box and said to me, " Oh, you were playing with the Free Spirit? Okay, don't play too far", then he walks away. I don't know if he understands what i mean, but I don't see the light man again. So the name is Free Spirit? Should i asked it to my mom and dad? Will they believe it? Or i just keep it as my secret. I walked around the market to looked for the Free Spirit but couldn't find it. Iam going home, running so fast to tell my mom about what i saw today, when suddenly i saw a car going in to my direction and in few seconds it hit me and then all go blank. "Lilly, honey please open your eyes, please." I hear my mom voice, i open my eyes and looked at her crying. "Mom, don't cry," i said to her so she don't cry more. "Thanks God you are okay. Thank you Bill for bring my daughter home, said my mom to Mr.Bill. "It's okay Mary, i was in the market when my son Adam told me that he saw Lilly hit by the car and i run to help her, it's a miracle that she still alive." Mr.Bill explained to my mom what was happening. They walked to the living room while iam alone there with Adam in my room. I don't know what to say to him as we're not close friend and iam to shy to speak to him, more shy that he looked at me in my not good condition. He looked at me, then he followed his father to the living room. Since i don't remember what was happening after the car hits, now i only feel pain in all of my body. Wait, i remember now, i saw the Free Spirit few seconds after i saw the car, could it be possible that he helped me? Few weeks after the accident, i go with my mom to Mr.Bill's house. We bring cake to said thank you for his help. I bring some chocolate too, my mom said give it to Adam when i see him. He is 2 years older than me. I saw him in front of the house playing with his friends, i run then give him the chocolate, said thank you then run away to my mom who is talking with Mr.Bill in front of the door and when she gave him the cake. I don't looked Adam again because i was too shy to look at him. Then we go home after my mom give the cake. After that i never heard about them again. I hear that Mr.Bill has a new job and he sell his house. They moved to another city one week after we visited them. I regretted that i don't say a proper thank you to Adam for saving me before they leave. I wonder if i ever met him again. Six years passed by after the accident, every time i go to the market i will be more careful, still remembering what happened, still afraid when there were a fast car passed by. But still like to see the colorful fish, still like the smell of the new bread, still passing by the apple tree, hoping i can meet my Free Spirit, hoping to see Adam again. The market still looks the same but it feels different for me now.
