Riding the Sky - A story

 

Lena was thirty, a delivery rider weaving through the bustling city on her electric scooter. Most saw just another food courier, but Lena held a secret — she could control the weather.

It all started on her 28th birthday. A whisper in the wind, a shimmer in the sky, and suddenly, every number she heard triggered a shift. “Order #57,” the restaurant called. The skies parted. Sunlight bathed her path. “Delivery #23,” another said. Thunder cracked and gentle rain began to fall, cooling the heat of the afternoon.

Lena never fully understood the power — only that the world’s hidden code reacted to numbers. Somehow, it obeyed her. Whatever she hears, heard by the world coding number pc and depicts the weather of the earth.

She made deliveries through storm and shine, her power adjusting the weather as needed. Customers would often greet her with smiles.
“Thank you! You’re amazing!”
A woman handed her a warm coffee as a tip. Another gave her a five-dollar bill with a nod.

But not everyone was kind.

“Late again?” one man scoffed, snatching his noodles.

The rain started with vendor’s voice — he’d said, “Order #13.” Storm clouds darkened his doorstep. She didn’t stop it.

Still, Lena rode on.

Sometimes she made it sunny for an elderly woman who liked to sit outside. Sometimes she let a light drizzle fall near gardens that needed watering. It wasn’t always about deliveries — it was about balance.

As she zipped away from another drop-off, she smiled to herself. “Order #88,” she muttered.

The golden hour broke through the clouds. A rainbow shimmered faintly overhead. Somewhere in the distance, a little girl looked up and said, “Wow, mom! The weather’s so nice! That is beautiful rainbow”. Lena didn’t know she has a daughter in sky realm, where God and angels resides. A daughter that not yet born to the Lena.

Lena grinned. For her, each delivery wasn’t just a job — it was a chance to bring a little wonder to the world.

 

While delivering the food, she met the utmost handsome and kind gentlemen nearby a tree. He approached her. He looked like white person from oversea. He started conversation with her. He said: she looked so beautiful as he wish to make her as his partner. He nodded yes." I want to make you my friend and we can slowly get to know each other, pretty." 

That was a fine evening.
