Chapter 2: Those Dust-Covered Days
The story began about seven years ago. Nilima and Sayan were students at the same college. Sayan was a bit restless by nature, while Nilima was quiet and serious. Their first meeting happened in a very strange way.
It was a day of heavy rain. Nilima was standing in front of the college gate with an umbrella, waiting for a rickshaw. Suddenly, a young man ran up and stood under her umbrella. It was Sayan. Seeing Sayan's wet shirt and the spark in his eyes, Nilima was annoyed but somehow couldn't say anything. Sayan smiled and said, "Getting wet in the rain won't give you a fever, but standing alone on this enchanting afternoon might make you sad. So, I came to give you some company!"
