Prem got down the bus and quickly opened his umbrella as it was raining cats and dogs. His house was a five minute walk from the bus stop.

❝ Maya? ❞

Her name slipped off his tongue as he spotted her, sitting on the bench of the bus stop.

❝ Prem? ❞

Her eyes twinkled as she saw the familiar man.

❝ What are you doing here? ❞

He asked.

❝ I stupidly forgot to take an umbrella today. Just waiting for the rains to halt so I can walk home ❞

❝ The rains are not stopping, Maya. I'll walk you home. It's near, isn't it?❞

Maya seemed delighted at his suggestion, but hesitated a little.

❝ You sure it's not a bother? ❞

Prem smiled at her warmly.

❝ Not at all, Maya ❞
