The sky over New York is covered with dark clouds, signaling impending rain. As raindrops fell from the sky and onto the hustle and bustle of the city, pedestrians on the streets picked up their pace.
They hurriedly held umbrellas, looking for shelter from the rain, the cars on the streets drove in the rain, splashing patches of water, the streets and alleys of New York were filled with a moist smell, adding a touch of bleakness to the whole city, people running through the streets, umbrellas crowded subway stations like a still impression painting, foreshadowing a romantic story about to begin.
On this rainy afternoon, John pushed open the door of a small café and was greeted by the pungent aroma of coffee. He looked for a place by the window and sat down, pulling out the book he had brought with him, intending to spend the lonely afternoon.
Just then, a familiar figure came into his sight.
John's heart was beating as it turned out to be an old flame he hadn't seen in years. Although after so many years, her face is still beautiful and moving, but it has an extra charm of vicissitudes.
John had mixed feelings in his mind, and too many memories flashed alternately in his mind.
John struggled to calm his excitement and ponder whether this was a good opportunity to reunite. He recalls the bits and pieces of his youth, those romantic dates, passionate kisses, the occasional argument and separation, and finally the decisive breakup...... It all felt like it was yesterday.
By the time John was distracted, she had already seen him with a warm smile on her face. It seems that after years of training, she has become more mature and stable, but deep down, she still maintains the freedom and enthusiasm of the year.
"It's been a long time, how are you doing?" She pulled out her chair and sat naturally across from John.
John came back to his senses with a shy smile on his face: "I...... I'm fine, how about you? ”
The reunion of the two deceased in this small café makes them feel like they have traveled back to the carefree time of their youth, through time and space.
The reunion many years later made John and her full of emotion, although the passionate youth has passed, but in each other, you can still feel the traces and resonance of the love back then.
John is beyond the age of knowing his destiny and has achieved some success in his career, but his love life is a mess. The failure of his last marriage hit him hard, causing his personality to become a source of loss and alienation and suspicion of love.
Therefore, he chose to deliberately remain single and live a very lonely life although he was rich.
She has always been spontaneous and seeks freedom and independence. Years of struggle have allowed her to achieve something, but her deep desire for true love has never been realized. Faced with the success of her career and the emptiness of her life, she often falls into the confusion and hesitation of life.
In this rain in New York, old friends who have been separated for a long time are brought back to that romantic and innocent era. In the coffee-scented museum, they talk about the bits and pieces of daily life and complain about the unsatisfactory life.
The raindrops outside the window gradually thinned, and the water droplets flowed slowly on the glass window, as if interpreting a romantic story with a soft melody. Even this atmosphere infected them, and they gradually began to tell the craziest and most romantic memories of their youth.
They were in love at that time, tired of being together all the time, agreeing to enjoy the sunrise and sunset together, strolling on the park benches, kissing and hugging without scruples. Although there were occasional quarrels, reconciliation was restored the next day.
Love is as glamorous and short-lived as a poppy, but it eventually breaks up for various reasons.
After many years, John and she found that their lives were full of loneliness and loneliness, and they began to think about the meaning of life. They begin to wonder if there really is only money and career in life. What about love and affection? As they move into the twilight of their lives, they begin to wonder if everything they pursue still matters. They began to worry about whether the shadow of death would loom over everything.
In this warm café, the sound of rain outside is heard one after another, and their hearts are also cleansed, as if they are returning to the calm surface of the lake.
In this way, on this rainy day in New York, the two old people who have been reunited for a long time have returned to each other's lives again. The rich aroma of coffee permeated the two of them, and the rain outside the window beat against the glass window, as if playing a moving music for the reunion of the old lovers.
Walking out of the café, the rain was already getting heavier. John walked side by side with her on the rain-soaked sidewalk, surrounded by pedestrians, but no one paid attention to the middle-aged man and woman in a hurry.
"Really, it's been a long time since I've walked in the rain." She raised her face, and there was a hint of old playfulness in her tone.
John looked at her and couldn't help but think of the old days. At that time, they were young and carefree, and they often walked together in the rain, letting the rain wet their hair and clothes, and did not care about the eyes of others.
Walking through the familiar streets, John and her seemed to have crossed the gap of time and space, and returned to that sunny youth. They can't help but think of all kinds of bits and pieces of the year, whether sweet or bitter, they have turned into precious memories at this moment.
They were in the heavy rain, like a newlywed, shrouded in rain and fog, and intimate. The rain washed their faces, the traces of time were taken away, and they seemed to return to their youthful years, turning back time.
So, they walked in the rain and left all the noise behind for a while. John once again experiences the throbbing of his youthful love. She was also attracted by this innocent and beautiful feeling.
Like two children, they stepped on the stagnant water on the road and even had a water fight.
"It's been a long time since I've laughed so heartily!" She laughed and let the rain drench her long hair.
John followed her, and the two of them frolicked in the rain, as if they had returned to the simplest and happiest era.
This rain will bring a new intersection to their destinies, and their old friends who have been separated for many years have rekindled the spark of their feelings and found the catharsis of each other's souls in this unique and charming rainy day in New York.
A heavy rain reunites them after a long absence, and the rain washes away their confusion and hesitation in life, and rekindles the desire for love and freedom in their hearts. The gears of fate rolled forward again, leading them to a new stage in their lives.
