*Flashback*
" You aren't walking home and that's final." said Randhir sternly.
" So are you going to arrange a helicopter for me right now? " I said teasing him.
" Very funny Agarwal! "
" Really? "
" Stop throwing daggers at me like it is my fault and shut up for a while and lemme think yeah? "
" Haww! What did I do? And you wanna think right now? Seriously? Yes! We have the whole millenium for us to get home don't we? "
" For you? Yes! "
" Randhir! For blind people like you.. Its raining and it is 15 mins past 10 in the night dammit! "
" Really? Thanks for the million dollar insight for the situation we are in. Im indebted to you "
" Argghhh! How the hell did I end up landing here and that too with you outta everyone in the world! "
" Im glad you can read my mind Agarwal! That's the only good thing you could do till date! "
" Enough of your meaningless chatter Randhir. There is no way you can find a solution to this situation. Im done. Keep thinking and do call me when any idea strikes your mind. By that time I would be soundly asleep though. " I said as I turned around to walk away.
Randhir held my hand by my wrist and pulled me swiftly towards him. I crashed across his chest with my head buried in the crook of his neck. I slowly stepped back from him but he still didn't let go of my hand.
" You have no umbrella, no raincoat, no in condition feet, no working senses, no useful brains and infact nothing at all. So Agarwal you have no say in this matter. Just keep quiet. That will be a lot of help trust me. "
" What? I? Me? You.. "
" Forget it.. "
" I have no brains, senses and what else did.. "
" Shhh... " said Randhir as his index finger landed on my lips.
I felt my lips go dry. I kept looking at him, deeply drowning in his grey orbs. Randhir was doing nothing less. He still had his finger on my lips.
We kept standing like that glued to the ground for god knows how many minutes until I jerked at the sudden horn from Randhir's behind. Randhir turned back and spotted a car and pulled me aside giving the car its way.
We kept stealing glances at each other and looking from here to there for some help.
" Stop stop! " shouted the both of us in a sync.
We looked at each other noticing what we just said together. Randhir was about to stop that cab and noticed that the cab left without stopping at all.
" Shit! "
" How will I get home now? And you are just not letting me walk! "
" You sure you can? "
" Huh? And now all of a sudden you want me to walk? What's wrong with you! "
" Listen Agarwal, I can't take the risk of letting you go home alone that too when its raining this heavily and you even sprained your leg! But I don't think we will be able to get any cab right now. Its too late. So lets walk I'll drop you home and I'll go back. "
" There seems no way. Okay. "
Randhir forwarded his hand gesturing me to hold it. I immediately held on to his hand. We started walking.
" So how far is your house from here? "
" It takes 7-10 mins for me to walk down daily. "
" Hmm. So now it all depends upon the weather and your feet. "
" How far is yours? "
" A 15 mins drive in my car. "
" Far enough! Randhir? How will you get back home today? "
" I'll manage. "
" I don't want you to. Please! I'll go home and call you but don't do this, you'll get late. "
" Do I look like Im even listening to you Agarwal? "
" But Randhir... Ouch! " I yelped as I held onto his hand even more tightly.
" Sanyukta? You alright? What happened? "
" It was just a small branch. I tripped. "
" Yeah! Please walk home alone! "
" Im fine. Im not a kiddo please! "
" Not exactly fit are you? Please Sanyukta no arguments just listen to me and walk along. "
We kept walking like that hand in hand. I was limping and Randhir secretly checking if I was alright. He suddenly felt like I was shivering. I had a tough time holding my ghagra, my dupatta, then my leg was problematic too and now I was shivering from cold. I was visibly uncomfortable.
He slowly slipped his hand out of my hold and made me pause for a while. He covered me with my dupatta and held my hand by his hand letting the other one hold me by my shoulder.
I felt that warmth engulf me as he held me close to his chest. My lips curved into a smile as I moved even closer into his embrace and walked along.
Randhir felt his forehead bleed again. He wasn't well too but then maybe I was more important and he didn't let me know.
We soon reached my house. My parents were asleep so my servant opened the door. I told him to go take rest and I would close the doors and he did. I offered Randhir to stay back at my place in the guest room and come to school along with me but then he denied it. I asked him about it again and again but he didn't look like he liked the idea.
I was bidding adieu to him at the door and I suddenly saw his forehead bleed. I swung the door open and held his hand.
" Randhir.. your forehead! Its bleeding again! "
" Its okay Sanyukta, don't worry I'll get home asap and dress the wound. "
"No Randhir, come upstairs I'll do it right now. You hafta listen to me now. "
Randhir obeyed and walked inside along with me.
" Its good that I accepted to get inside with you Agarwal else who would help you get upstairs? " smirked Randhir.
" I would have managed. "
" Yeah right! " said Randhir as he helped me walk upstairs.
I made him sit down on my bed as I got the first aid kit. I slowly cleaned his wound and dressed it. I gave him a pain killer and he reluctantly took it.
" Please Randhir, stay back. My parents won't mind. Really. "
" No Sanyukta I will hafta go home and don't worry I will call you as soon as I reach. "
" Okay. " I said and I escorted him to the door.
" Bye."
" Randhir.."
" Thanks a lot. "
" For helping me and dropping me home."
" Thanks and you? Hmm! Sure it rained today! "
I smiled at him as he turned to walk away. I was closing the door and saw him turn back.
" Sanyukta.. "
" Th..than..Thankyou. "
" For the medicine. "
" Sure it rained today! " I said.
He looked me and I looked back at him as I felt my heart racing. I saw him smile and walk away. I smiled back too as I closed the door and walked back upstairs with that smile still playing on my lips.
I changed into my night suit and switched of the lights to hit the bed. The dark room with that bright galaxy theme on the roof reminded me of our dance and our proximity, the moments way back home and many more. It just didn't stop.
I slipped under my blankets holding them tight as that moment : Randhir's hold on my shoulder played in my mind. Every moment every second, I was in eternal bliss and there aren't any words I can put them in.
Rain, they say is romantic. Yes, I had my unforgettable rain this day. It might have rained normally for everyone but for me it was Raining Love and it still is.
Precap : NO PRECAP! Cuz I don't know what's next!

Love,
Nikitha😃
