It was twenty past three when I reached my home, the atmosphere seemed dark with the grey cloud looming over the sky that was making it almost seemed dusk with coldness in the air as the humidity rose by heavy rainfall. I was shivering and coughing badly when I reached home that my school uniform stuck to my body like a second skin. I parked my bike outside and hurriedly ran inside fully drenched.
"You are late! Where were you?" My mother's voice halted my steps in track as I turned around to see my mother standing with her hands folded over her chest. She was in her lawyer uniform and had her glasses on, which meant she was working till then.
"Caught up in traffic mom. You are home today?" I replied while shrugging my shoulder nonchalantly as I continued making my way towards my room.
