MaYur SS [Once In A Night ] LAST PART ON PG 49

Once in a Night!

Nupur drew back from the window and stepped towards the kitchen fetching a hot cup of coffee for herself, Outside the house, the cavorting cold wind playfully splashing raindrops against the window panes like someone stroking the wind hard. The dark rain clouds above the sky seemed to frighten the living creature on the earth, the large trees swaying and dancing with the gushes of wind making a horrible sound that sometimes frightened her.

Restlessly, she strode towards the window and peered through the window pane to get a glimpse of her mother who was supposed to return back home before the night, it was the sunny day when she made plans to visit her sister as she was ill. Her gaze drifted down the empty lane and a frisson of apprehension rushed through her veins.

She gasped in dismay and sank down into the couch, why didn't she go with her mother. She had been cursed herself several times since the storm started. There were two people living in this tiny yet comfortable house middle of the well-known town, Nupur and her widow mother. Nupur's mind prowled like a foraging hind through the long months since her father's death, recalling the many hours she had spent alone while her mother used to go to work. The painful memories brought unshed tears in her eyes and she sniffed swallowing the sob.

Another explosion of the storm and he cursed himself under his breath to leaving out for the last delivery of supplies to an unknown town, it was the first time the manager himself insisted him to deliver the supplies of their new product to this town as he didn't want any blunder or mistake.

He had been doing his work according to his planning but now had been trapped in a terrible storm and didn't know any friendly face to invite him to his house so he could've spent the night there.

Someone rapped the door impatiently and she rushed in the haste to open it in hope it would probably her mother, her hand raised and she laid her hand on the knob and turned around it, the door swung open, and for some unknown reason she couldn't tear her eyes from the stranger standing in front of him in wet clothes.
