Out in the rain

On a day of the monsoon season, I had gone to my school. It was no atmosphere’s mood till about 8:30 in the morning to throw water on earth. At about 8:30, the atmosphere was slowly getting clouded and preparing for a heavy rain. When we look outside in the ground, we feel as if the universal clock has gulped 11 hours and went from am to pm. The time was 8:30 am and looked as if it is 7:30 pm!  Such dark became the atmosphere. Each minute, the darkness increased! We thought that it at all the darkness continues at the same rate then they will have to switch the street lights!

We all were enjoying this sort of atmosphere when our Headmaster of the school came to our class to inform us that by 9:30, we will have been released from the school! And the same happened. Thus, we had been removed from the shelter and left on the road. As if the rain had an intention to harass us, it just started as soon as we were on road. It was raining cats & dogs. And it was thundering like anything. I went on to the place where everyday my school van waits for us, though in the mind, I knew that it wouldn't have come because the driver would not have any idea about it. And, as expected, the school van was not present. This was not only limited to me, but even the other students had the same thing because none of the vans had arrived by then. Firstly I stood with my mates and friends, but some of them lived nearby, so they had gone away after some time. Now, I went here and there and found my van mate and then another one. Thus, we three together waited for the van. After some time of walking here and there, all our van mates were gathered together at a place beneath a plastic roof and waited.

It was 9:30 when we came out and at 10:30- after an hour of bathing under the rain, finally it was a pleasure for my eyes to see the van coming towards us. Thus I sat inside the van after such a wonderful but hard experience and at 11:00, I reached my home.
