My dear Rohit,
I hope you are well. Currently, the School is closed for Covid – 19. So, I haven't seen you in a long time. You know, I can't live a moment without telling you my good and bad. So, I am writing you this letter.
Two days ago, I was playing cricket on the ground with my neighbouring friends. The sky was clear. But suddenly a squall came and covered the sky with black clouds. Then, the rains came and we were completely drenched. I was trembling with the cold water of the rain and I knew that if I did not return home, I would be reprimanded. But I couldn't handle the pleasure of drenching in the rain and started jumping in the mud water for a while. It was an exciting moment in my life. At that time, I missed you so much. Then I came back home with completely drenched. As soon as I came home, my mother started to rebuke me. But I know, only you can understand the joy of drenching in the rain.
Hope to see you soon . Ending my letter here with love.
Your friend,
Pulak
