Suhani's POV
I forgot to carry my umbrella today. The condition of the weather does not seem good. It felt like it's going to pour its heart out today. But whatever it was, I was loving the weather. It was too hot here last few weeks. So it's good if it would rain heavily, but like always I am going to get home late. Thank God I already called Bhabna di from my bank. Working in the bank is really hassling. People can never come out on time. And as I am a part timer I have to work late nights. This is the last year of my graduation after that I'm not going to work in any banks.
After bidding bye to my colleagues I went to a bus stop. I was hoping the bus arrives on time. It was almost 8:35 but I was not getting any hint of the buses' arrival. I was hoping the rain to not start before I reach home, but God didn't listen to me. So with a beautiful smile the rain just started. Though I didn't want the rain to start, but I was feeling happy. Rain always fascinates me. I love its smell, its sound and its touch. So without killing a single moment I came out of the shed and started walking in the rain. I already decided that I will get drench little and then take an Auto to go home. Actually, my mood was to dance, but I can't do it in a public place. And it was already very late too. While walking on the road I realized that there was no auto rickshaw at the road. So Suhani devi u have to find an auto first otherwise you will be in trouble''. Talking is my favourite hobby so when I don't get anyone to talk I talk to myself. 'But stop talking to yourself Suhani u need to reach home fast''. And I was hungry too. All of a sudden I saw an auto rickshaw parked near the sweet shop. I was immensely happy so ran to it and started talking to the driver to take me home. But the driver was saying something which I didn't get but heard another voice coming from my back
'Hey excuse me! I have hired him already'' and I turned to look at my misery. Who the hell was he? And yes, he was indeed a misery of my life. My best friend, who was punished to be friendly with a dark girl like me. And he was Yuvraaj Birla. My one of most favourite people, whom I never wanted to meet again.
SuuHaanii he said with shock voice, then his expressions started to change into shock to happiness and to sorrow. I was surprised too. So I didn't understand what to say or how to react. But I was really happy to see him after 5 long years. I was unable to do anything. Every memory of our childhood came running in my mind. All our mischievous did, our funny fights, our long walk after school. Doing his assignments, decorating my home for parent's anniversary with him. Studying together before exams. And that night which changed my life forever.
Yuvraaj's POV
Never thought I would get to see her here. Thank god Sharad forced me to come to Calcutta with him. I don't know how I spent last 5 years with guilt. With the pain of losing her. Losing the only person who was my biggest support. My best friend. Nobody was there to share my pain, my misery when my dad expired. Only she was with me. And when it was my turn to support her I wasn't with her. I couldn't control the damage that night. And I was the reason for her pain. She was punished without any fault. I don't know how many times I apologised to her in my dreams. How many times I prayed to god to meet her one day. I don't know what she must be thinking now. Did I remind her the past? I was in a deep thought when I heard her saying 'Yuvraaj. How are you?" she was smiling at me. And God only knows how much I missed her sweet smile.
"What are you doing here Suhani at this time? And you are, you are fully soaked." she said 'I was going home, but due to bad weather I'm stuck here." 'You live here in Calcutta? Where? "My question changed her expression. And I realized that she won't answer me. I never thought that one day our relation would turn into like this. That she would hesitate to tell me where she lives. The trance of my thought was broken by the driver. He was asking us whether we would go or not? I realised that we both need this auto. My car was broken in the middle of the road so I was going to bring the mechanic and she also needs to go home. So I quickly decided that I will drop her home first and then bring the mechanic back. I was really nervous to offer her the ride, but I did. And without getting any other convenient option she agreed to ride with me. I was happy, very happy. At least I got some more time to spend with her.
