Under the Red Umbrella

The dark thick clouds announced the rain, It was not long before it started pouring down; Heavy drops of water on cars sounded like a train, Bare became the streets of the popular town. No one was in sight I was left alone dispiritedly, Protected I was standing at a bus stop shelter; As the rain became torrential I felt disparagingly, Fortunately, my mood changed when I first met her. Walking under a huge red umbrella she was, She stopped and looked at me with sympathy; Offering me to walk with her after a short pause, I accepted her gesture with relief and fragility. It was not a pleasant walk but we were sheltered, When she suddenly stopped and started screaming; I was her target accusing me that she was pestered, I became lost of words and frightened with her accusing. I ran away from under the red umbrella quickly, She stood there crying her heart out in disbelief; Closing her umbrella and hitting me with it instantly, When I heard the alarm clock and woke up in relief.
