Unseen Passage - Unexpected Friendship in the Rain
Rohan was walking home from school, and the clouds in the sky were getting darker. He quickened his pace, realizing that he had forgotten to bring an umbrella. However, just as he was a few blocks away from his house, the rain started pouring down.
Caught in the sudden downpour, poor Rohan found himself drenched from head to toe. He hurriedly made his way to a nearby bus stop, hoping for some shelter. However, as luck would have it, many others had the same idea, and the bus stop was already crowded. Rohan ended up squeezed between an old man and a plump lady, trying to find some space to shield himself from the rain.
Amidst the crowded shelter, Rohan's eyes caught sight of his classmate, Riya, who managed to create a bit of room for him next to her. Rohan learned that she lived in the same building as him. As they stood there waiting for the rain to subside, Rohan and Riya struck up a lively conversation, and the time flew by without them noticing that the rain had stopped.
Grateful for the unexpected companionship, they decided to plan to walk to school and back home together starting the next day, making their daily journeys more enjoyable and shared.
