First sight
The city was under a light but continuous rain…
Not too heavy to wash everything away, not too light to be unnoticed — just a silent kind of weather, as if even the sky was lost in thought.
At the bus stop, a girl was standing.
Her name was Jay.
Her hair, slightly wet from the rain, was sticking softly to her face. She had a book in her hand, but she wasn’t reading it… her eyes seemed lost in some unseen world.
In that very moment, a boy walked past from the front.
It felt as if time had stopped.
Neither she could move forward… nor he.
Just an eye contact happened.
A moment drowned in silence… where there were no words, but emotions were screaming loudly.
Both kept looking at each other…
As if there were only those two people left in the world.
Then suddenly…
A bus stopped.
Jay blinked.
She got inside.
And the bus started moving.
The boy stood there… getting soaked in the rain, as if his gaze was still trapped in that very moment.
Inside the bus…
Jay was sitting near the window.
