" today's weather will be cloudy all day and there are chances of rain so be sure to bring your umbrella with you "
Shyam was eating his breakfast while watching news on the TV, even though he was sitting infront of the tv his thoughts where somewhere else, so he didn't listen to the weather forecast and went to school without an umbrella,
" The weathers cloudy today huh? Mabye i should have brought my umbrella "
The classes had started and after an hour or two rain started to fall, it just got worse and worse as time passed so the teachers decided to close the school for today as the weather could get even worse,
The rain was still up ot did not seem like it's going go on for hours ,
Suddenly a hand touched his soulders which were soft and cold. He looked behind and saw it was raitha.
" Hey, what are you doing here ? Aren't you gonna go home ? Were you waiting for me ? "
She is as inquisitive as always, a person full of questions and always curious about everything,
But shyam did not have any answers for her questions because he truly had not brought an umbrella with him even though his eyes and ears were clearly listening to the TV his brain was not,
" Uh, well I forgot hehe , but why are you here though? Shouldn't you be going? "
Shyam asked to raitha with the same curious face expression, but this time it was raitha who was getting a little embarrassed as because of why
" You should take your umbrella, I saw it on the news it'd be rain today "
In the morning when raitha was leaving for school her dad suggested her to take her umbrella but
" Oh dad, thank you for being concerned but I won't need this because I am 100% sure there will not be any rain today hahaha "
But she declined and now to the future.
" Well, guess what! I forgot too ! "
She was regretting on her decision of not taking the umbrella and now they both were stuck there until the rain stops ,
So they decided to stay inside the library while the rain stops.
" Do you have a phone number? "
After a long lasting silence of 30 minutes raitha spoke up, although shyam knew she asks many questions and shyam was getting used to it ,but this time what she had asked is not something someone can ask just like that ,
Although raitha knew it was a risky move but if it works then she'll have a better connection with shyam, shyam himself knew it's a good opportunity to get closer to her,
Although he didn't knew why he wanted to tell her his number but he was feeling a very wierd feeling the moment she asked for his number,
He felt like something heavy has been put on his heart and if it isn't lifted soon he might not survive the feeling,
" Yeah I have, do you want to exchange conatnts ? "
Although he asked it like it's nothing but deep down we all know how hard it is to spit those words out of our mouths.
( From someone who hasn't gotten his answer yet )
Then they exchanged their conatnt numbers and suddenly the rain started to calm down, as though the rain was waiting for this moment and it was ordered not to move unti they exchanged their contacts.
Seeing the rain finally stop both of them took a breath of relief now they could go back home ,
After saying bye they both went home ,
11:30pm:-
Raitha -" Hey are you awake right now? "
Shyam -" yeah was bouta go to bed, did you have anything to tell me ? "
Raitha-" no I was just wondering how long you stay awake, okay bye good night "
STUCK FOR THE RAIN -
VOL 2
Was it just luck?
It was weekend and shyam was at raitha's book store browsing through books to read ,
Suddenly raitha came in with tea for them all, they say down together and raitha's dad sat just beside him like they are best friends.
" Hey I am raitha's dad but you can call me dad hahaha just kidding, call me woaliam and since you are going to date my daughter let me tell you how I met her mom "
He whispered to shyam's ears but this time it was not a mystery we all know. Shyam was shocked why is woaliam coming to tell him how raitha's mom and him first met ,
And why him of all the people. And what does he mean by date his daughter, as a father shouldn't he be concerned about how he shouldn't date her daughter, well anyway he could not hold the last question into his stomach and spoke it out but slowly so that raitha doesn't hear what they were saying, ( hmm, it seems our little shyam has unlocked the bro code didn't he )
" Uhh, sir I think you might be thinking too far ahead, i don't think she and I will ever date. And why are you telling me that story anyway? Don't you think you are trusting me too much ?"
Woaliam did not answer his any questions, instead he just smiled a bit and started telling his story of when raitha's dad and mom first met,
" When I met her I was in 12th grade just as you and she was in 11th grade just as my daughter right now,
I was eating my lunch behind the school when suddenly she came out of nowhere, without asking or even telling me anything she just say down beside me and started to eat her launch, I was surprised at first because just how can someone sit next to another person and just start eating so I asked her who she was and why she is sitting beside me.
To that she smiled at first and directly proposed to me she said ' I love you, and i have been in love with you for a long time now '
There was no hesitation in her words and only happiness behind her face , she had a bright smile which was as beautiful as a sunrise she had that ' I'll make you fall in love with me even if you don't want to " aura ,
But I was shocked to deatha and why wouldn't I be, i didn't even knew that girl before today and she just proposed to me outa nowhere,
I was lost in thoughts when suddenly her hands touched my shoulder and her face straight infront of me as if she'd kiss me on the spot, she said ' why are you thinking too much, just say yes or no '
How could a man decline a offer like that, declining a offer like that would break her heart into pieces so I did what a real man would, our love of unknown became a love of well-known soon we married but raitha was our only child and that's where my story of romace ends "
Shyam was listening to this story very closely, and he was feeling like it's all made up but almost the same think happened to him so he thought it might be real
