AMAYA’S DESTINY
(NIGHT RAIN)
Episode 3
Written by author Nath
There was a rom-ntic and emotional atmosphere created by the gentle k-ss Kris placed on Rachael’s l-ips. Some female students let out a mo-n, wishing to be in her shoes. Yes, even some male students, but if they could foresee or acknowledge the horrible consequences that awaits the young boy for that act, none would dream of setting eyes on Rachael thoughtless of k-ssing her.
Nevertheless, Rachael gazed at Kris when he stopped the k-ss. It wasn’t a dream neither was it an imagination! She stared into his eyes, wishing to have more of it. Unfortunately, the boy she was emotionally dying for, sarcastically handed the ice-cream back to her. “I’ll be leaving now.” he glanced at Antonia then left the place, yet Rachael couldn’t believe it, lust at his attractive footsteps, but the sound of a ringing school bell brought her out from the endless delusion.
The students cursed as they dispersed to their various classrooms coz time couldn’t let them have another best part of the ‘truth or dare’ game.
“I have finally broken the yoke, Rachael” Antonia whispered into the ears of her friend.
“Which yoke?” Rachael queried.
“How should I know what you meant when you mentioned it first?”
“I said yolk not yoke”
“What’s the difference?” Antonia spread her hands.
Rachael smiled. “Yes, Antonia. Whatever i meant, whether yolk or yoke, all we know is that something has been broken” she said, still staring at the direction Kris followed. Antonia was not only pleased with her friend’s joyful smile but also her own actions to make up for earlier humiliation.
“I will smash the remaining yolk with a yoke on you, yokels if you don’t respond to the bell!” A deep voice startled them from behind. They scre-med and ran away, giggling amusingly.
That was Mr Kim, their disciplinary master. Unknowingly to them, he had been behind, listening to everything they said. He was huge and dark, feared by all the students. He stood there, still listening to the girls from afar.
“Did you hear another one from Mr Kim; yokel” Rachael said.
“Yes, three different words” Antonia concured.
“Yolk, yoke, yokel!” they said at the same time, laughing happily.
Mr Kim couldn’t help but to smile at their curiosity on the three words. Of course he knew they were confused by the initial two. That’s why he used them in a sentence, adding another one to them as a form of education. He believe they’ll make their research.
Mr Kim was an unbeliever, an atheist precisely, but something happened when he entered into his office. One could see a table filled with books, on the walls were different calendar for different year. The master loves listening to radio, so on the table, beside a book, rested a black Kasio radio which battery was removed by Mr Kim to boost its capacity under radiation. Therefore, he had collected the battery from outside to the office to get his radio active again but, surprisingly, the radio without battery said, “Isaiah 58:6.”
Hearing that, the man stood at a s₱0t with the battery still in his hand. He looked around the office, slowly turned the radio to see the battery arena empty. “Am i hallucinating?” he began to think. “No, I heard it loud and clear. It came from this radio.”
Quickly, the young man, brought out his phone to search for the bible verse on Google coz he had no bible, judging from his belief and personality. He flipped to the verse that says, “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?”
Goose bumps escalated on the body of Mr Kim after reading it. His feelings could not be explained even scientifically as he was subdued to a deep thought. “What’s the meaning of this?” he was thinking. He was not only confused by the verse which is related to what Rachael and Antonia battled with, but also the big question mark at the end of the bible verse. “What is the revelation of this message?” he murmured.

School dismissed for the day. The humiliating day suddenly turned to a happy day for Rachael, strange day for Mr Kim and yet to be a horrible day for Kris. Which is to say that something mysterious and spiritual was revolving around.
Mr Kim, from his office, watched students troop out from their classes, chattering like market women. He sighted Rachael and Antonia then called, “Miss Frank!”
Antonia turned coz that was her surname. She glanced at Rachael before she left to answer the master, wondering what her offense was. The young girl stood before the huge black man, of course, politely like student with a teacher.
“Good afternoon sir”
“May I ask the root of your discussion with miss Ojile earlier today?” Mr Kim asked critically demonstrating with his hand.
Bemused, Antonia narrowed her face. “Sir, I don’t understand.” she replied.
“I mean the yolk, yoke thing”
Antonia understood, but how can she explain to the man about boys’ phobia to Rachael which she was not even fully made to understand by Rachael herself. So she smiled and said, “Sir, it was nothing serious. It was just.. just…”
“Miss Frank, I want you to understand that this isn’t a joking matter.” the man seriously interrupted her. Antonia could see it on his face and hear it from his voice. She suddenly went dumb. Of course the poor girl didn’t know what to say again.
“Miss Frank?”
“Sir, is anything the matter?” the young girl found her voice.
Mr Kim exhaled. “You may go” he discharged her.
Rachael couldn’t wait for Antonia to let the cat out of the bag when she returned to her. So she asked, “What does the black man want?”
“He was acting weird” Antonia replied as both was walking towards the main road. “Actually, he wanted to know the root of our discussion earlier; about the yolk, yoke, yokel of a thing.” She chuckled, while Rachael laughed.

11:55pm
A heavy rain began in the city. Kris was doing an assignment in,side his room that moment. Suddenly, the light went off thereby making everywhere dark. He located a torchlight which he put on, then his attention went to a window, rattled by wind. He slowly walked there to close it, but surprisingly saw a shadow standing outside under the heavy rain. He flashed his torch at the person but couldn’t see him again. Immediately he off the torchlight, the shadow appeared again. Terrified, he hurriedly close the window, only to turn to see the shadow on the wall.
“Amaya’s destiny is mine!” a voice came from the wall. Kris scre-med and fell on the floor…..
