Learning Her Rhythm
✦•┈๑⋅⋯⭑⋯⋅๑┈•✦ The rain fell hard, turning everything into a gray blur. I stood on one side of the road, shivering from the cold, feeling both scared and excited by the storm. On the other side, I saw him. He signaled for me to stay still, so I waited, my breath shaky and my vision clouded by the downpour. In a minute, he was right there in front of me, holding an umbrella to shield me. I tried to step closer, but my foot landed right in a muddy puddle. My sandal slipped off, and my foot was covered in dirty water. "Wait," he whispered. He handed me the umbrella and stepped out into the rain. He didn't care that he was getting soaked. He dropped to his knees on the wet road right in front of me. I looked around, realizing people were staring at us, but he didn't care about the crowd. He pulled a bottle of water from his bag and gently washed the mud off my skin. His hands were cold and shaking from the chill, but his touch was so tender. He cleaned my sandal and carefully slipped it back onto my foot. As I looked down at him, a tear ran down my face, mixing with the rain. In that moment, I knew. That was my man. That was my husband. ________ At 21, Vanshika Singh was still navigating her life as a college student when she married Nirvaan Devraj, 29, was a hardworking man from a middle-class background who dedicated every waking hour to providing for and bringing joy to his family.
