Should I, Should I not?

I was a tad hesitant. What would people say? That cute girl over there, what would she think? That guy sitting on the bench, didn’t he work on the same floor as me?

I took a tentative step, and the first few drops washed away my hesitation. I stepped out, got drenched, and felt freed.

–

Waiting for the rains to make an appearance at Hyderabad. Even though I am not a rain lover – I hate being outside when it is raining – I’ve had enough of the summer.

obelix, hmmm… were you expecting something else, or just did not appreciate me comparing getting drenched with feeling free?

manuscrypts, thanks! I started writing about rains, and it metamorphosed into a 55 I had to complement the 55 with what I was thinking.

Divyendu, thanks

Winnie, now the number of possible meanings to what I wrote has doubled
