Rain Man

It is an unusual season for rain. But he was happy. He darted out of the house to his backyard garden and started tending the flower beds. He loved rainy season. Though now it was almost summer. As he did gardening, his two little daughters watched him from the balcony.

It has been two years since he lost his wife. This garden is all that is left of her. Douglas never re-married again, fearing that it would divide the love for his daughters. He was mom and dad to them. He loves walking in the rain now. Specially around the house where the garden lies. This thing he never did when she was around. Neither did he do the gardening even after countless requests by her.

Thinking about it made his blue eyes to water and he looked at his daughters in balcony. But they cannot see his tears. It was raining.
