Rains and Rainbows

I went to jog yesterday in the park although the weather didn’t look good. Well I was desperately in a need to stretch some muscles at that time because I've been spending most of my waking hours in the office or at home, staring at my laptop. It was a good jog and right after I've finished the final lap, it started pouring like there’s no tomorrow. I was both lucky and unlucky because if it started to rain while I was still running, I will be so soaked as I will always try to finish my 3 laps even under the rain. But in the same time I was stranded there in the park, taking shelter under a small hut while waiting for the rain to stop.

There were sunshine although the rain was so heavy until I could hear the sound of water rushing along the huge drain nearby. I was sitting and staring blankly up to the sky when I saw a spectrum of color right in front of my eyes. I thought it was some illusion caused by my exhaustion but the color didn’t go away even after a few blinks of the eyes. And in a split second, I noticed the whole portrait; it was a rainbow right in front of me.

Now this rainbow wasn’t the same with those that I've encountered before. Rainbow, as what I'd seen before was breathtaking, enormous and far from reach. But this one was just a few steps away from me, initiating from the ground, curving towards the sky. Now who said it’s hard to find the end of the rainbow?

Luck, has a different meaning across the elapse of time. Not getting wet in the rain might sound lucky but getting stranded in the park might mean otherwise. But just when you are ready to conclude that luck isn’t on your side, seeing a rainbow might make you reconsider the situation. It is all about how the portrait is seen
