“The Breaking News”
Amrita gave him the breaking news exactly a week later.
“Maybe you’ll have to take a leave from your office coming Tuesday.”
“Why?”
“An important thing might come up!” she said with a sparkle in her eyes.
“Yeah! Maybe. Important things keep coming to me from past few days.”
“But this’ll rock you like anything!”
“Sounds like you’ve planned something!”
“Please don’t pin me! I find it very hard to keep a secret long with me. But this time I’ve managed because I have imagined a special way to let you know!”
“O.K.”
They were crossing the busy streets. Sounds of approaching vehicles were cutting out Amrita’s voice. Aditya’s raised his voice to call Amrita.
“Let’s have some cakes today instead!”
“Why cake? Why not pizza?”
“I thought cakes will be a change”
“Then we’ll have cakes tomorrow, today I’m in a mood of having pizza!”
Amrita ordered a couple of Lamb Delights and then started chatting about the times that they had spent together in the past. Aditya couldn’t help thinking how real it felt right then. Those late night chats over the phone, those anxious waiting for her to come and meet him. Aditya said to himself
“It’s true; she taught you the meaning of love!”
“Hello Darling? Where are you? The pizzas are here!”
While eating they didn’t talk too much, then at the end, Amrita said
“The circle of life.”
“What? Come again…”
“I said, the circle of life. Remember we started our friendship right here, having the exact same dish? I say, we’ve completed a full circle of life. And we are ready to take it to the next level.”
The Bill arrived. And as Aditya opened the bill folder, he knew why the waitress lady was smiling. There was a card behind the bill. A simple “Expressions” card with the following line…
“Are you ready to marry the love of your life?”
