Chapter 47

• Her eyes would not shift from the luxury polished window before her. The beads of the rain were as clear as a crystal, and the pitter-patter sound of the drizzles was giving her a bizarre comfort, as the raindrops battered on the glossy window. It had been raining all day, the day was breezy and boisterous. She glanced around the clock and found out it was 2 p.m.
• How long has it been raining? She thought to herself. It was not a usual thing to rain all day but she liked it. She liked looking out at the rain. But, she wished she could get out of the house, into the garden, just to feel the drizzles on her hand. It was not possible, she works there, and she could not just think about enjoying her time in the rain when there are tons of work due.
• However, she perked up and walked towards the window. She could at least watch closely, right? Her palm involuntarily touched the window and she could feel the moisture on her skin and the coldness of the breezy weather. How delightful sight was it! The droplets of the rain were freely pouring from the heavy dark clouds and small puddles were forming in the garden, they began to plink as the rain became heavier. She giggled softly when her eyes landed on a baby bird that dried itself while sitting on the tree branch after flying in the rain. She began to think how free they were. How carefree those birds look? How liberated the drizzles were? Was she liberated? Did she have the freedom like those birds and the drops of the rain? Her smile dropped and her heart was clouded by the sudden gloominess.
