     “ There was thick darkness in the bunker. She closed her eyes tightly. She never become  lonely in anyday. She heard the bendings and rolling sound of the trees and creepers with the sudden blow of the hard wind. She though it was a foretell of a storm. After a short time big rain drops began to fll down with the wind. Some rain drops which came with the wind into the bunker hit on the face of Rajanie. She sat on her heels. The rain become heavy gradually. Some water came between  tha palmyra  logs with some sand hit on the forehead uf Rajanie. She wiped the water with both her hands and switched on the torch. She tried to push the palmyra log over her head and stop the water coming  in. But it was in vain. ”
