Unlike other days, Denna reached college early, but hesitant to go to their classroom. She chose to sit under the Gulmohar tree, which was one of her favourite.
The morning wind made its way carrying the scent of seasonal Murraya blossoms.
..........................
At the same time in his class, Benjamin was talking with his best friend Kaya.
"We are early today. Let's take a stroll." It was Benjamin who raised the idea.
"It was raining from the morning.I don't want to go".
said Kaya reluctantly.
The path was indeed muddy and the still pouring rain made it only worse.
Benjamin decided to take a stroll himself.
Denna who was bored from sitting for long started to head to the library. She had hair backpack and an umbrella. Humming a song with a tender smile she slowly took her steps. Just when she made less than ten steps, she bumped into someone and lost hold of her umbrella.
"Ouch...!
I am sor.rr..yy.."
She couldn't utter a word, even forgot to breathe the moment he saw the other person's face.
Benjamin wass not very tall but had good physique. His eyes were captivating and had a straight long
nose.
"It's my fault. I'm sorry" said Benjamin as he handed her umbrella stained with mud, as he walked past her. She couldn't help but think of his eyes..That pair of eyes..she couldn't comprehend her mind. She was in a shock. 'Had I ever met him'...she didn't know but fell deep in thought. Her heart pounding that she forgot to breathe.
