Monsoon!
Even though, winter was just coming to an end, all Hera was looking for was Monsoon, and the summer heat made others long for it too. Rack, Smoky and Monc would wash their bikes every second day, so as to get a reason to get wet in the horrible heat of summer. No special polish, but a very special soap: Premium Anti-dandruff Shampoo for the bikes, hence silky smooth shine! Most times Hera used to join them, however, would prefer to stay dry.
College was going on as normal and assignments were raining, as always most were procrastinating till the last days of submission. This time Hera was back to normal self and had joined the laid back gang again. And most time was spent in looking for Monsoon. It had been over 2 months now, since Hera had seen her.
Monsoon had gone through a change over the semester, a more serious girl, more serious about her assignments, more serious about her subjects and their tuitions. Her schedule was packed, like all 1st years she had same tuitions which Hera had gone enrolled, and paid a visit regularly, once in a while, Monsoon was sincerely regular.
Walking down and up the road, she used to get a glimpse of Hera, and think, look at him, carefree in this world, enjoying life. For her, he was only a crush or lucky charm that brought a smile to her face. And she would walk away.
Hera, always missed her, missed her looking at him, it was like destiny did not want them to meet, not yet. She would turn away, and Hera would look, she would come and he would leave on bike. The timings were just off by fraction.
Whenever Monsoon got a chance to see him, she would think; "He must have already forgotten me, after all, I never told him my name. Even if he remembers my name, would say: That dumb girl who used to smile looking at me!"
Hera had started to think, its futile to look for her now, and he did stop looking for her. It was already time for next submission, and Hera was lagging big time! It's time to join the rat race again!
