Chapter 7 - DANCING IN THE RAIN

Then they worked another half an hour and completed their work . Sebastian put the weed puller on the ground and stood straight .

Sebastian : ouch ! My back is killing me .

Lucy : Same vibes here !

Peter : But it's really a good experience .

Sebastian : My grandfather is a farmer , if you wish I can take you there another day .

Isabel : okay for me .

Johnson : double okay .

The boys put on their coats .

Sebastian : okay , let's return these buckets first .

Johnson : I am coming with you this time .

They both took the buckets in their hands but suddenly they felt some chill droplets on them.

Lucy : Yikes ! It is a downpour.

Peter : I didn't expect this .

Isabel : anyway , we are drenched already .

Johnson : Rain rain go away come again another day ...

He began to sing .

Sebastian continued : little Johnson wants to play .

Isabel continued with another song .

" rain rain it's okay , let's play like it's a sunny day ..

Others joined " even if the sky is gray , rain rain it's okay ...."

Everyone sang and laughed together .

While Clara and her friends were searching for a place to hide from rain . But they couldn't and stood still as running is not the best idea .

Sebastian : does anyone like to dance in the rain ?

Lucy : I do .

Since they had worn coats nothing was inappropriate .They all stood in circle formation and began to dance .

They moved left together, then clapped their hands then right . Then they held each other 's waist and danced by tapping feet and moving in circles.

Sebastian : Guys , this is the best day of my life .

He blurted out .

Peter : Woohoo ! You are right sebastian.

Lucy : ha ha .. I love you buddies .

Isabel : same here .

Everyone shouted " love you all " .

Their laughter sounds echoed in the whole ground . Since it was lunch time , many students were walking to their hostels and home with umbrellas , saw them dancing and joined them . Even professors who were coming out , saw them dancing and remembered their youth days and smiled . Don't want to say about young professors , they joined them with their friends and they danced as couples.

After an hour , they began to move group by group.

Isabel : it's enough for today guys . We may catch a cold . let's go now.

Sebastian : then let's go together .

They all walked together until they reached hostal ground .

Then they splitted .

Isabel : hey , did you bring things ?

Lucy : yeah , my father had come and gave my things to the hostel guard. It might be in our room .

Isabel : that's good to hear .

. While going , Lucy was observing everything.

Lucy : It is so different here . I mean , girls wearing shorts , everyone is talking in phone. It is so lively here .

Isabel : just wait for the evening dear . You will be amazed and since only girls are allowed here , we are free to wear shorts .

Lucy : oh . Okay but I am not gonna wear it since it is already cold .

Isabel : me too .

They reached a staircase.

Isabel : Be ready to climb mountains.

Lucy : I don't understand.

Isabel : you will .

They were climbing steps but it seems like stepping in the great Wall of China .

Lucy : Everything has its limit . Even the ocean can control itself up to a certain point only .I am getting old , as I step on eve..ry single step , Isabel .

Isabel : haha ..

Lucy : don't laugh buddy . Man is dying here .

Isabel : Here we are .

Lucy : good gracious ! Finally .The man who first climbed the Mt.everest wouldn't have been this happy .

Isabel : here room no . 1812 . Don't forget .

Lucy : the last room on this floor . I'll remember.

They opened the door and entered.

Isabel: how is it ?

Lucy: simple and perfectly tidy.

Isabel : go and take a bath , I will make soup to avoid catching a cold .

Lucy : do you have a stove ? .

Isabel : electronic stove .

One by one , they bathed and drank soup .

Lucy : you are a great chef .

Isabel : thank you madam.

Lucy once again looked around the room and saw a guitar .

Lucy : you play guitar?

Isabel : ah.. well sometimes I do .

Lucy : can you play it for me ?

Isabella : sure .

(Music recommended : pirates of Caribbean theme music.)

She took her guitar and sat beside the window and started playing.

Her long Hair was untied since she had just bathed , it was swaying due to the breeze from the opened window .

Lucy couldn't stop moving her head .

Lucy just opened her eyes when the music stopped .

Lucy : you are awesome, Isabel . I am a slave to your fingers.

Isabel : thanks but you don't have to be slave . Let's take a nap for sometime .

They both slept peacefully until evening.

★ MEMORIES ★

We walked together hand in hand .

We shared stories ear to ear .

We loved each others hearts to hearts.

We grew , young to old .

smooth hands turned rough .

Black hair turned white.

Shifted position from learning , to

teaching.

But ... But something didn't change,

The rain which fell on us ,

The air we breathed ,

The land we walked,

The memories which are evergreen in my heart .
