Third Person POV....
That evening , it was raining.
The sky were showing the shades of darkness of night.
The grocery market was busy as usual, but crowd was less. Some people had taken their grocery and headed home.
Nishi too, had come to take grocery, because today was her shift to bring grocery.
She had taken the grocery items, but when she were heading home, it started raining.
To hide from rain, she took shelter in City Life Cafe.
She sat in the cafe waiting for rain to stop.
In that Cafe, there was a man in 25 or 26, seated on the front table from her. His face were by her side.
She noticed it, that he was glaring at her.
But, when she looked at him , he bowed his head towards his food.
Nishi's POV....
But there is something strange ,"That person is totally buried in black dress, even his face is too covered with black mask. Then, how he is eating? Eating or that food was just an excuse to show me."
After sometime, feeling uncomfortable from his glare . I came at the entrance of the Cafe. It was raining very heavily. I can't go home soaked in this rain as my white dress will become transparent. (Looked at my wrist watch, showing 7:35pm.) I haven't been out this late ever.
Her phone ranged....
"Hello"
From other side, " Nishi ! where are you ? you where gone for grocery or too spend whole night there.
"I wouldn't be spending night here, if you hadn't forced me to wear this dress and I don't have my spectacles too because of you only, ... only you .
"In buying grocery, what is the need of spectacles . As much as I remember , you have near - sightedness , right.
...
"By the way, the queen got up (taunted her friend)."
From other side, " yes, I got up. "(She said in heavy tone showing that she is still in sleep. )
" Get up, and look outside , it's raining ."
"Hmm... "
"Hello... (There was no response.) Hello.. (Again no response.) Hello.... "
(The phone cut off .)
"Seems she slept again. Who sleeps in evening, after all?? .. Ah.. "
Third Person POV...
This girl is Nishi's friend - Lizy, and her only renter in her home. From whom, she learnt to cook food. She admire this girl a lot, because, she came her life when she really needed an angel to take care of her.
This is true that both girls study in same class ,but Lizy is two years older than her and more experienced . She don't know more about Lizy.
She only know that she belongs to a rich family and in these five years with her, in every summer holidays, she went to her home , her dad was an army general , who had left army because of injury in his legs.
She is truly a daughter of an soldier , she knows lot of tricks and ways to fight. Even in those five years, whoever tried to buly Nishi, ( no matter a girl or a boy) were beaten by her, as if she is her bodyguard.
With this, she is a feminist too, but she don't say it, but whenever needed, just show it. Truly, no any boy can control her. And she is a girl, like can't fall in love.
Nishi knows it that , she has an elder brother. And definitely both are like mismatched pair of brother and sister. She doesn't get along with his brother.
Lizy is flirtious too, she always flirt on Nishi. Because Nishi is the sweetest and the most innocent girl, she had ever seen.
Nishi's every actions were noticed by the man, who were glaring at her sometimes before.
When she cut off the phone, just after that , he went to pay the bill. The ordered food was, just like before, as it was kept there.
He came outside and got disappeared in the rain.
Nishi's POV....
...
I glanced at my watch, showing 7:55 pm. It's going to be eight.
"God ! please help me. "
Due to rain, whole market was empty by that time. Every person who had got stuck in this rain, had reached home soaked. But I can't do that .
(The moon were not in the sky. There were only the sounds of rain and darkness all over. Only shopkeepers were there in their shops .)
I saw a man in black. When from the other side of the street, he were coming closer and closer. Then, it seemed like, he is the same person who were glaring at me. This time, he have an umbrella in his hand and his other hand were in his pocket. As there was only a few metres distance between me and his foot. I recognised him, that he is the same person who was glaring at me.
Is he chasing me?
Suddenly, his foot stopped in front of me.
I got scared, because of his sudden stop in front of me, but I didn't showed it on my face. Lizy had said , if you will show your weaknesses, you will make their work easy.
As I remember , such lofers don't even ask girls, before carrying them off or before doing anything wrong with them. I won't show my weakness to him.
I think , I can manage this guy without her (Lizy) . I will show her, that I can protect myself. And I don't need her everytime.
He turned to me. As he turned, I thought that ,this lofer won't be this dumb that he would carry me off in front of everyone. So, I looked at him, with patience, to know what he wants.
He reached for my hand, without saying anything ,handed me his umbrella and got disappeared in rain again.
I was amazed by his deed. I hadn't thought that, he was coming to give me this umbrella. I was panicked when he touched my hand, but I kept it inside. But....
As I came to my senses, I thought to let him go and head home. I reached home, thinking about him, all through the way.
That, Who was he? Why he helped me?
