I was strapped into the  seat of my bicycle plunged through dense cloud cover on the sky... it was early evening,

The road was quiet. I tried my best to paddle my bicycle because I was assured the rain could start at any time. I was sweating, the salty water drops, which were coming down from my hair in front, touched my eyes and lips.

There was swampy eucalyptus, Wild trees lying on both sides of the long lonely roads. The cool breezes were touching my face and body, which made me feel comfortable.

That day I didn't know why I was feeling more energetic, I found more enthusiasm in my spirit. I was feeling like something very good or magical would be going to embrace me.

I came to a lonely street. Then I saw my wrist watch which showed 5"O" in the evening. Suddenly the back tire of my bicycle became punctured. I got down from the cycle and pulled the handle on it with my hands. I was looking for a bicycle repair shop..

I could hear the footsteps of mine as well as the rolling sounds of my bicycle Tire echoing on the pavement.

Suddenly, on the street, I saw a girl who was Standing on the Balcony of a house.
I had never seen them before. Seeing her suddenly something beneath my book pocket started to race.

She kept her chin on one hand, her palm touched her cheek and another hand was lying on the reeling of the balcony. She was looking into the sky with unblinking eyes. I didn't know what she was trying to find out in that cloudy, gloomy vast sky.

All of a  sudden, The rain had started. I didn't move, instead still staring at her. She raised her hands horizontally outside.. enjoying the raindrops felt on her palms... I didn't know why I was looking at her. That was happening for the first time... I forgot about my tuition classes on that day... I also forgot about the punctured tire of my bicycle, unaware of the fact that I wetted in the rain....

After some time she turned back and left on the balcony, I thought someone might have called her. I don't know why I feel bad about her departure.
I peeked there on the way she had gone. With my disappointment, I removed my gaze from there.

Afterward, I repaired my bicycle In a shop after walking for half an hour. It was rare that I had reached my tuition lately .

It was 9" O'clock at night when I had just come from my tuition class.I entered the living room of my house, First I had seen that My Nanaji (maternal Grandfather) was playing with his piano and my NaniMaa (maternal Grandmother) look at him with a smiling face...My Nanaji was a retired Physiotherapist Doctor . His hobbies were photography and Singing and playing musical instruments..My NaniMaa was a nurse by profession she was also retired ...both of them Spend their quality time together whenever they got leisure.

Seeing me at the gate of the living room, my NaniMaa was astonished....

Vanav!!!!You have returned home at the time, so your tuition ends at 10 "O'clock, doesn't it??

I was a little taken aback by the certain question of my Grandmother, because If they came to know the truth that I was wetting in the rain then they would scold me. I tried my best to keep quiet ..but I had started to sneeze suddenly.

NaniMaa and Nanaji Came to towards me ..They touched my body ,my forehead  ...they realized I had a cold..and they had assumed everything

My Grandmother and Grandfather were a little bit tense about my health and asked me with worry " why you haven't taken any shelter when the rain was going on"??...

I told them everything But except about that girl ..I didn't know Why I did that, it was the first time I hide anything from them.
My Nanaji and NaniMaa were so close to me ,I hadn't hidden anything from them...but that day I didn't know the reason!!..

At night after dinner in my room..

NaniMaa was sitting on my bed beside me...I was laying in the bed...My Grandpa Was sitting on a chair beside my bed...

Didn't you know Vanav !!  When you had a fever last time, your maternal grandmother did not sleep at night"  uttered Nanaji. And proceed with his talk ".She was crying that night. You had a very high fever then and the fever was not in the mood to lessen at all.

NaniMaa was caressing my hair...I was feeling like a golden stick touched my hair ..I kept my head on her lap.. looking straight into her eyes...

"Tonight I will sleep here " , disclosed Nanajii..

"Okay" Replied  NaniMaa with a convincing face "but let me inform if fever will come once again in the late-night" 
In the night Nanaji Shared with me the same stories that he had told me many times in my childhood.

In the night Nanaji Shared with me the same stories that he had told me many times in my childhood... about my naughty things , quarrels between his with NaniMaa..I was hearing him with full dedication ..I loved my Grandfather and grandmother... because After the death of Maa They were the only two who were so close to me, they loved me so much I couldn't explain that in words.

In the late night, I again immersed myself in the thought of that Girl whom I had seen on a rainy day . I didn't know When I looked at her Something had been happening within my chest .I found her more interesting than my mathematics textbook. What magic she has left me to think about her. I found her world of the most innocent girl when her hands were playing with the rains.
Why am I thinking about the mysterious girl??
