The Night Of Heavy Rain

It had been over two hours waiting for the train. Ruhi was getting restless, suddenly she heard some voices. She was frightened. It was already 10 o'clock and she was still on the platform. As usual, Ruhi had to return home by a train, after her tuition. But today, something was different, something was strange. All her friends had left over an hour and a half before, but her train had not arrived yet. Due to the bad weather, her mobile phone did not have a signal, so she could not contact anyone. She sat waiting at the station- all alone.

It started raining. Anyone could have enjoyed this kind of weather, but to Ruhi, it seemed to be a signal of some bad omen. She heard those voices again. This time, she gathered the courage to look behind. To her disappointment, there were some boys from her tuition. The same substandard boys, whom she had always hated. The boys had always teased and troubled her. It was just yesterday when Ruhi had complained about them to her teacher and the boys were suspended. “What on Earth are these blockheads doing here?”

She mumbled. The boys did not have seemed to notice her until this moment.

“Hey, boys! Look who's here. Miss Malhotra” said Rahul, the leader of the gang. The boys moved towards her. Ruhi was too scared to react and stood there frozen. “All alone huh miss Malhotra?”

He said. “ Want some company?”. Ruhi stepped back, Rahul stepped forward. The boys laughed. This very instant Ruhi turned around and tried to run. Rahul and the boys followed her. Suddenly Ruhi fell down. And the rain only became heavier.
