Thanks to rain

The White Shirt

It was 1.25 pm,Misha,Rishi and me were at canteen, goofing around during our lunch break as usual.However it seemed quite unusual day.I could feel the tension building up around as the clouds were gathering hiding the sun,were seemed like calling out some trouble as the humidity was steaming up my cinch of forthcoming.

"Amaya.. should we leave?it's only 5 min left before 2.00".Rishi hasted

"Chill..our classes are always delayed for 5-10 mins."I said, finishing my last bite.

"Ohh madam we can't be as late as you are in your dating life."Misha joked and all the three of us laughed and then all of us sighed as we know I'm hopeless latecomer as well as hopeless in dating.

"Look if it's about being late then It's my choice. I love my special entry and if it's about my love life..

"Then it's a god's punishment for you for always being late"and Misha stabbed me at my weak spot with her sarcasm.

"Why are you teasing me like this..you know I think my heart is frozen that's why it dont flutter anymore. "I whined and banged my head to a table and buried my face down,hiding my frown lines.

Then suddenly I heard the sound of droplets tapping the surface of the ground and in a moment the sound dribble turned into clatter and few rain drops into a storm which shocked all of us.

"Ohh shoot now what how we gonna get to classes? and I don't even bring my raincoat" Rishi panicked.

"Me too "Misha said.

"Yeee bunk"I jumped with joy.

"You always find an excuse to bunk classes" Rishi said while looking a little bit annoyed.

"There's nothing we can do..let's just enjoy this first rain..how about celebrating with a warm chai?"and I went to order counter.

When I brought chai,I realised Misha was signing me to look some where.I sat next to her and suddenly she poke me with her elbow and whispered "look 5'o clock"

"What?" I looked around.

"The guy in the white shirt, dumbo!"She said in a low voice that even Rishi couldn't hear.

And then when I turned back,my pupils were widened and my jaw was dropped...I saw a tall guy with a dusky skin in well built,wringing out water from his drenched white shirt.Then at the perfect moment when the drop were dripping from his wet messy black hair, he slicked back his hair by running his finger through that medium length hair.Yet typical rain scene however it was truly sensuous and inevitably attractive.

I think he felt my stare so he looked in my direction and then I avoided the eye contact by lowering my eyes and set it to the floor cause though my stomach was filled with butterflies but my eyes were with shyness.

At this moment I know how it felt when lucky saw Sanjana dressed up in "main hoo na"..or you may say I knew how it felt when you fall in love at first sight.

"How do u knew?"I asked Misha with spark in my eyes and big smile on my face.

"It's been years ..at least I can figure out your idle type."

I nodded as you can expect that much from your childhood friend.

"Try to talk to him"Misha said

"No. I'm feeling shy..and I don't even know him"I whispered.

"Hh to whom?"Rishi asked.

While Misha just gonna say..I pressed her foot ,signing to shush.

"Nothing"I said while stirring my cup with my hands and took a sip while gulping down the idea to reach him..to talk to the guy in the white shirt.

Then I saw him chatting with his friends so was I but the whole time until the rain stopped.. until he left..my eyes were pinned at his back.

I think was it just a sound of rain rattling against the canteen's roof or the thumping of my heart.Was it just the petrichor in the air or was it love? Whatever it was but

•Thanks to Rain we were trapped.

•Thanks to Rain I bunked the class and it was a perfect time.

•Thanks to Rain (and little bit of Misha's help) I could see him for the first time.

•Thanks to Rain my cheeks flushed red.

•Thanks to Rain I think my heart just fluttered after a long time.
