Short

It was just a typical monsoon season day. Dark clouds, bellowing winds, thunder and lightning flashed ever so casually. Raindrop thundering down like hailstorm. Tress were waving from one side to the other, like a rocking chair rocking forward and back, forward and back.

It was also just another day in university. Mr. Eugene and his friends were just dismissed from psychology class, while walking to the cafeteria to wait for the rain to stop, chatting about ghastly incidents happening in the campus's hostel. 

At the canteen, Mr. Eugene stared out in the rain, the rain falling wave-like, lightning flashed, thunder roared, but all was calm. It was one of those days when nature lets out and all other creatures quieten down. 

After a while, the rain came slowly to a drizzle, Mr.Eugene's friends from another course came. They then discussed whether to go on with their plan to swim. 

Aron :"Still on or not one?"

Mr.Eugene :"yeah... why not?"

Roland :"like that i wan go back hostel change and take some stuffs leh..."

Mr.Eugene :"okay... go bah"

Mavis & Bee, :"Not dangerous meh? go swim in the rain like that?"

Mr.Eugene :"Not when there's lightning and thunder, but it's only a drizzle now.. think it won't be a problem.."

Wesler & Mee :"whatever.. we anything also can."

So, Aron took the college bus to his apartment somewhere near the pool. The rest went in Mr.Eugene's car to the pool. The guard there kindly declined our wish to go swimming giving all sort of lame excuse. So, in the end, we went to Aron's place, had some mamak food. then continued with Cyber Cafe-ing. Hanged out there till it was quite late then we left for college again. Planned to use the hostel's hot water bath before calling a night. Mee was sent to the KTM station, the girl went back to their rooms. The one lefts? Mr.Eugene, Wesler and Roland. Bathed, hanged out for a while in Roland's room then had a chat with Sze You they met in the cafeteria, sent Wesler back to his place and Mr.Eugene left Nilai at about 11+ in the night.

The journey back was an eerie one, ill-lit roads, occasionally passing cars. Very quite. Speeding at about 140 km/H... it took about 40 minutes before Mr.Eugene finally reached home. Hitting the bed and falling into the abyss of dream....
