She didn't want to loose the comfort she had developed with him over the time. She wanted the conversation to be as normal as always. She knew that by bringing such thoughts in between the talks they will soon loose the comfort and she will end up loosing him.

She somehow developed an affection for the stranger. She didn't do it deliberately but his honesty always touched her. She had hardly came across such honest men. She knew that he was trying to avoid her now. She did not protest. Because the beauty of this relation was discovery. And that too mutual. She didn't want to be a burden on it.

She decided to give it a break and see if only she could feel the pain that he carries always with himself. Or even he is concerned. Ever since their last talk, her apprehension returned to her.

She went quietly to her bed. She was not able to help herself. She thought that the previous few days have left her in a dilemma. And this is making her think. Think the things she never wanted to. And strangely, now it stopped raining also.

Ever since their last conversation, it did not rain. She was relating rains to her encounter with this man. She was sure that he came to her like rains. Pouring her all over with his thoughts and disappearing like clouds which are carried away by the winds once they become lighter.

She did not hear from him from the past few days and she totally gave up the expectation as well. This was the last thought that came to her mind..

She slept without any hope. He was now fading from her thoughts..

The night was once again dark and emotionless..
