The Missing Umbrella

It was a Monday morning raining heavily like there was not going to rain tomorrow siya was sitting in an empty class room completing her notes when she realised the time "oh it's already 3:00, I must hurry" packing her stuff in her bag she hurriedly went towards the gate there was a boy standing, waiting for the rain to stop.

She didn't realise at first "hey sorry but if you don't mind I can drop you till the bus stand" she asked genuinely "are you sure, you won't feel uncomfortable right?" He turned and her heart skipped a beat he was wearing light blue jeans with white shrit black g-shoke watch with a sharp shave beard and hair was well styled which was finished with black earring in his left ear "oh my sweet cherry you look whoa...." "What?" That she realised "wait what, oh I'm... I'm so sorry for wha.. what I I said" there was a smirk playing on his lips, he looked at her and she was gone nowhere to be seen.

After some time he arrived at the bus stand with his friend "here you go yash, we reached" niraj said while handing him the umbrella "i should be thanking you, but wait why are you handing me this" yash ask suspiciously "mad or what I should be the one thanking you as we used your umbrella, that girl said its your & to give you this, so take this" "what girl?" yash asked "the one with peach colour top with black long hair, anyways im getting late & my bus is here so ill be going" by saying this niraj left.

Yash was getting curious now he started looking here and there but couldn't find her but didn't realise someone was looking at him from somewhere. There were two three buses parked Only a few people were waiting around the bus stop finally giving up he got in the bus which was parked in front of him & seated staring at the umbrella he noticed a name written on it "siya"

He was sitting in the first seat lost in thoughts until the bus stopped a familiar color pass, so he looked outside the window some people were getting down and there she was wearing simple peach top & white leggings and her hair tied in bride which reach up to her waist, finishing her look with silver bangles and jummkas dangling around her ears, soon she was gone.

The rain was gone so he was. the sky was nice & clear two days had passed he was nowhere to be found, she was sad a little bit not due to the umbrella he took but because of his absence. "hey siya, arn't we having history class today" Nisha asked "yeah nish" she replied "can you tell me at what time?" she questioned "oh it at 10.00...oh my god" siya looked at her watch it was 9.50 "let's go Nish or else will be late" they both started running fortunately they made it.

Around 10.15 "may i come sir" somene said entering the class looking around there she was he looked at her, she recognised the voice it was him she turned to face him their gaze match "well well look who's here, so today what's the occasion for coming master" sir said mockingly "sorry sir it won't happen again" he made an apology. It was shocking for the teacher as he never made any "very well, anyways i'm not in the mood today take your seat" The teacher waved his hand gesturing him to take a seat. yash took the second seat towards the coroner row never leaving her gaze "class focus!" teacher shouted. Siya came to her senses trying to focus she stared to look at her book and then at teacher but automatically her gaze was shifted towards him who was already looking at her, Facing at left side of his class, leaning his back on wall resting his right hand on desk he was sitting in way where he had a clear view of her sitting on third last banch. Soon she was feeling butterflies in her stomach, her chick started heating up, she was feeling like the entire class was now staring at them . Bell rang "finally" she thought, everyone was leaving one by one and she looked towards him, he had gotten up ready to walk towards. she hurriedly stuffed her things in the bag and ran away from there dragging her friend with her.

They reached the ladies washroom "What was that?" Nisha questioned her friend who was literally looking like a red tomato. "nothing i just needed to pee" she lied "don't lie to me darling i know you & you pee also, so tell me the truth?" nisha asked folding her hands "eww you are disgusting" she replied making faces "If your drama is over answer with my question drama queen" The poor girl tells her the whole situation she was in "so, why did you run away?" she again asked "i don't know actually" siya replied pouting her lips "oh god this girl, i feel like beating you" "but you can't do that" siya replied showing her teeth Nisha slapped her forehead "let it be, lets go now" "I'm having practicals today till 3.00 so can't come with you i guess"

"Finally i'm done with those bloody practical" she came out towards the gate only 7-8 students were present so till this time the whole college was almost empty. she about to start walking when it suddenly started raining, after that incident she carried her spare umbrella as she didn't got the old one back but it was strange that umbrella was also missing from her bag "oh i forgot it in the classroom & i guess they must have been lock the doors". it was past 6;00 now she was getting anxious as most of them were gone, couldn't wait any longer she was about to walk when someone pulled her hand from behind "looking for something?" then she realised it was him.

she wanted to run but his light gripe on her hand while the other hand was holding the umbrella. Facing each other they felt as if everything stopped, lost in his emerald eyes she didn't realise that she was gripping his shirt tightly. Suddenly there was a loud thunder which cause her to shiver slightly & looked around in fear, "its ok, let's go" he said softening his gaze and losing his grip, But by looking at her he could understand that she was still afraid as her grip on his shirt was not losing a bit so he let her be & they stater walking, It was a cool silence as none of them speak word, waiting for the bus to leave she was still feeling anxious as the sun was already set it was getting dark now but her hand felt warm he was there holding her hand sitting beside her giving her a warm smile it made her anxiety fade away.

after some time she got down, Then realising that he didn't return her umbrella again he smiled keeping his hand on his face there was a faint smell of her when she held his hand, it was a sweet smell of vanilla just like her.

It was another beautiful morning, Yash was sitting on his bike in front of their collage gate & could see her walking, there she was walking towards him wearing light blue pazo & white kurta, finishing her look with sliver jhumka & bangles like always "good morning" he said she waved & smiled brighty "Here is your umbrella" he said while handing over the umbrella to her "thank you for yesterday" she replied both looking at each other couldn't understand what to say " so you brought your bike today" she asked trying to change the topic "yeah, it's my brother's old one because he got a new one" he replied "so you would be traveling through the bus anymore I guess" she answered trying not to show her unhappiness, he understood it "i have a better option" he suggested smirking at her "huh?" "You can join with me, I also keep a spare helmet just like your umbrellas, do you mind if we bunk the class today" he said while holding another halmet in his hands. A huge smile appeared on her face & his heart skipped a beat. There was something in them which didn't need any word, she sat at the back. They were now sitting at a restaurant when her phone rang " when are you coming" Nisha asked from the other side of the phone "I'm not coming today you, you carry on" she replied " where are you?" Nisha could hear a male voice from behind so she asked suspiciously "Nish I'm a little stuck at something I'll call you later, by" she hurriedly hangs up "Oh man someone took my bitch!" Nisha thought to her self.

It was noon when they were about to leave the restaurant standing in front of the gate when it suddenly started raining and she realised she lost her umbrella "not again!" She cursed pouting her lips "It's ok let's go" he said holding her hand, looking at each other they smiled "i guess it's not that bad" he agreed "because of it i found something most precious" she whispered "What?" He questioned "nothing" she replied, but he heard it anyway. He came closer to her ear "thanks" he smirked and gave a pack on her temple, Red as a tomato she hid her face in his jacket "go away!" She replied smilingly when she received a text message Nisha "hey girl, I guess u have a lot of money that you keep losing your umbrellas, let it be I found them take it from me later" she showed it to him & they both started laughing loudly......
