U is for... Umbrella

U is for... Umbrella

As Khushi held up her umbrella for Anjali her mind was still on what she had just witnessed. She could never have imagined that ASR, the raakshas, the Laad Governer would be such a child inside.

 

'Chotte, you're getting more wet. Come here under the umbrella,' Anjali gave Arnav who was at her side a small push.

His eyes met hers and Khushi was sure he would refuse but he surprised her for the second time that day.

Still supporting Anjali he stepped under the umbrella, behind them both. Khushi held the umbrella higher to accommodate his taller frame, also supporting Anjali with her free hand.

They stopped briefly when they reached the steps and Khushi wondered how they would navigate them. Arnav made a small sound of annoyance and took the handle from her hand. He held it high sheltering the three of them until they reached the car.
