One day while returning from the clinic, Ritesh took Yogita to a park nearby. The area was soothing with a small, but well-manicured lawn lined all around with colorful crotons interspersed with colorful, small flowers. Green benches lined the walk-way around the lawn. They sat on one. Ritesh had bought bhel for snacking on, while they conversed about the future.
Ritesh gazed longingly at Yogita. She looked bewitching in her sky-blue kurti with white and pink Kashmiri embroidery and soft-pink leggings. Her toes wriggled daintily as she removed her well-groomed feet from her slippers and placed them above the footwear. The pink nail color perfectly matched her leggings. Her face, thoroughly devoid of make-up, glowed with good health. She had carefully wound her pink dupatta around her wrists to hide her wounds’ dressing.
After some moments of companionable silence he said, “Yogita, my leave will end in 2 days’ time. What is your final decision? Yes or No? Even if it is a “No” I’ll not mind! But remember that I will always have you in my heart and soul. I will always be there for you. Just call me when you need me."
