As Naina and Kushal bid a teary eyed goodbye to their son who left in the pursuit of his own dreams, Naina dreaded going home to an empty nest. Their pet had passed away a month ago and with their son moving abroad, it was just the two of them again. Kushal looked at Naina and said, “Do not be afraid.”
Naina smiled and responded in a meek voice, “It’s just the two of us again.”
“It takes two to tango, right?” Kushal said in a chirpy voice. “Let’s go out on a date. Coffee followed by a romantic walk. How does that sound?”
Naina smiled. At least one of them knew how to keep the spirit up. Kushal and Naina never realized how time flew by, they were a kind of couple who lived life ‘you live only once style.’ Kushal always knew how to make Naina laugh. He was often amused at her ways. She walked fast and worked fast and often got herself in a lot of trouble due to her temper and impatience. Kushal loved her, nevertheless.
They enjoyed their coffee in a nice open roof café and spoke of all the years that had passed by in a blink of an eye. Before their son came along, they would have a lot of “we” time together. And now again, they do.
