When Soma woke up in the morning, it was still raining relentlessly. It is understood that the rain will not stop all day today. After finishing the household chores, Soma woke up her two sons and said---Get up, brush yourself.
They both brushed and got ready. Soma gave them breakfast and put the rice in the oven. Antu sat down to study, Soma went to bath some time ago. She came out and said---Santu, take a bath, Can't you go to your friend's house?
Santu was delighted. He went to the bathroom to take a bath. Right around ten in the morning, Dawa Sherpa appeared, said---Madam, when will Santu Babu be delivered.
Soma smiled and said--He is ready, Dawa ji.
She handed over the car key from the drawer to Dawa.
While Santu leaving, Soma told Santu---must come back before afternoon. Dawa Uncle will go to fetch. Do not do any mischief there.
After Santu leaves, Soma gets Antu ready and leaves. Antu took the college bus to the main road. In the road Soma can't handle the umbrella, it's raining so much. Moreover, the water accumulated on the streets of Kolkata is an awkward situation.
Somehow Soma caught the auto. Reached the college and saw that the attendance of students was less. Her colleague english teacher Nirmal Babu said---because of the low attendance rate in this heavy rain, today should be given day off for rainy day.
Bandana said---That's right.
Soma said---But who will take the proposal to the headmistress?
Several teachers did not come to the staff room. Physics teacher Sandeep is a very funny person. He is Young, makes fun to everyone. He said---Prayer is yet to begin, the stone should be thrown at that time. The work is tough, but no one can do it without Soma Di.
Soma was shocked---Me! No, no, no. I already went to the headmistress a few days ago to ask for leave for my son's exam, if I go again today, I have to listen to her grumble.
Sandeep said---Soma di, please. Only you have to do this.
That's when headmistress Nivedita Sanyal suddenly appeared in the staff room. She never comes to the staff room unless necessary. She said---Oh! What a rain, Uf! doesn't want to stop.
Sandeep whispered in Soma's ear---Soma di, this is the chance, say it now.
Soma looked at her colleagues and said---Madam, today is a rainy day.
Nivedita Sanyal took a serious look at Soma, then said---I know today is rainy day.
----I mean, Today the attendance of students is low, so college holidays could be given.
Soma said hesitantly.
----You know the college has certain holidays from the government. Leave cannot be given at such times.
Everyone was disappointed. But before the start of the prayer in the prayer line, suddenly the headmistress announced to the students---college is closed today due to rain. Those who came to college today even in this rain, they will go back home in line without any disturbance.
Even though college was off for Rainy Day, Soma returned home by 12 noon after finishing some minor office work. While she climbing the stairs, she saw the door of the Dawa Sherpa's room open. Soma called---Dawa ji?
Dawa came out. Soma said---Have you delivered Santu properly?
---Yes madam. Did not your college today, madam?
Soma smiled. Said----No, today is leave for rainy day.
Soma's saree is mostly wet. She changed saree, petticoat, blouse and put on a cotton nighty. It's raining outside, it's very cold weather. Soma really wants to drink tea now. Antu is now at his college, if the two boys are not at home, Soma feels very lonely. Just then the calling bell rang. Who came at this time?
