By chance

Rain finally stopped after half an hour

Alisha started to leave but she stopped in horror as the sign she has made it for her way to home got vanished because of rain. she came back again in shelter where she save herself from rain just a moment ago. She swept her gaze hoping could find anyone whom she know. Alisha stops her gaze at one person but his face couldn't be seen as he was talking to someone, hearing his voice she smiled.

Binoy has to come down due to no signals or very low signal at his home "Finally I got signal there". He is talking to his friends in English language over the phone.

As he was talking Alisha came in front of him and smiled. Binoy looked back, thinking she is giving smiles to someone else.

Binoy freezes and disconnect the phone, he look beside him to a girl who is clinging on his arm. Binoy don't know her name, he only met her once, before he can ask something she already ran away that day and today without any warning she again holding his hand.

when Binoy tried to free his hand from her, Alisha tightens her grip. Feeling everyone stares he leave and Alisha followed him without losing her grip. After coming a little far he asked in a very calm tone "why are you clinging on me" after a little pause he added "by any chance do you like me" but she didn't gave any answer nor she met his gazes. After long time she said one word while looking down "Home"

"Home" he repeated after her, Alisha nodded her. Binoy don't know where she live. As he was thinking he felt pain on his arm, her nail piercing his skin. Binoy opened his mouth to say something but saw she is staring in same direction with angry face. following her stare he found his friend Ranjeet and Mittal.

some time ago...

"If you don't want to buy anything then leave don't block the way" shopkeeper said in loud voice, feeling everyone gazes Alisha felt awkward.

"Ranjeet, look that's our sister in law" Mittal said while pointing her finger towards Alisha.

"sister in law" Ranjeet asked in bewilderment.

"I mean soon to be sister in law, she is future wife of our Binoy bro, even Binoy's grandpa like her" Mittal explained with excitement.

"How do you know grandpa liked her"

"One day grandpa slipped on road and this girl helped him, so grandpa likes her, he asked me to find where she live"

Mittal again added look sister in law is leaving.

"wait" Ranjeet said

"what now"

seeing Ranjeet going towards shopkeeper Mittal eyes brightened, before Ranjeet could say anything Mittal spoke "That girl is Binoy's wife, if you ever talk rudely with her, we will break your bones" while patting Ranjeet muscles. Binoy is famous in village, first his kind and helping nature and second he is in army, village pride.

After saying that they followed Alisha so no one can bully her.

Feeling someone presence Alisha fastened her footsteps, but rain started so she took shelter but their gazes never left. After rain stopped she saw that man whose home is in the same direction as her. To show those men who following her that she had someone backing, so she cling on his arm, feeling awkward she didn't met that army man gaze.
