She bit her lips and shivered. The cold was penetrating to her very bones. She usually loved the rains but winter rains were never a good sign for her. She wasn't terribly good with winter.
She was like the sunshine, the warm sunshine which made everyone happy. Cold and winter didn't suit her personality much.
No wonder he didn't like it much.
He looked at the road and wasn't surprised to see no public vehicle in sight. She was wasting time, she should've asked someone for lift and go home. Now she was drenched in the wet rain, shivering. He looked up, the rain didn't have any plans of stopping anytime soon.
He came out of his safe shade and moved towards her. He didn't regret it much. He wasn't going to regret it. For the first time, he didn't care for the hard work that he was going to waste. Money can come and go. But if he lost this moment, he would regret it forever.
She didn't notice him, how could she? She was so busy battling the cold. He saw as she closed her eyes and silently prayed. Yeah, he did have some good timings.
Unzipping his bag, he took out the newly brought jacket and put it over her shoulders. The sudden weight on her shoulders made her jump in surprise and she looked back. Standing at her back, somewhat shielding her, he was looking at her. Her black eyes were round in surprise. He was as usual, silent.
Time stood still.
But the rain kept falling.
"KD..." She whispered but he didn't say anything. She hugged the thick jacket tightly around her body. The warmth of the jacket and his protectiveness made her feel better. He noticed that the jacket was too big for her. And he was glad. Skirts and cold rain, not a good combo for a girl.
Her head was bowed and he saw it. Standing behind her, protecting her from God knows what, his eyes never left her. He was completely drenched in water, but he kept looking at her. He noticed her small gestures. She was still shivering a little, wiping the water from her face, looking at the road for the sign of any vehicle; yeah, she was impatient to go home.
He, however, didn't want that. Dunno why?
From the distant, a light shimmered and she looked at it. Then, she waved at the auto. Within seconds, it was in front of her and she was talking to the man. After some time, the man agreed on her terms.
She looked back at him and he just blinked. Words were failing her, but did he care? No.
Then, she smiled. And he felt like the sun was back from behind the veils of dark clouds. Still clutching his jacket, she sat in the auto and it moved ahead.
He kept staring at it until it disappeared from his sight. Then, the time moved on and the moment passed away.
And trust me when I say, the sky kept crying...
