"Sometimes clouds take us close to heaven... As they bring us showers.. And sometimes they take us closer to one another; filling life with the sunshine that peeks through them."

14th December
Sampurnaa's pov:

I returned home at 8.30. Maa, Dad and Dida were in the living room when I walked in.
"You are home really early today! Planning on going somewhere?" Dida asked me with her eyebrows raised and a teasing smirk on her face
She's 70... But she is a total sport!

I nodded in affirmation.

"See, I told you they are planning on going somewhere... Why else do you think both of them returned home early?" Maa said triumphantly

I didn't know I was such a great source of entertainment!

"Now, go quickly, curfew's at 1 a.m.!" Dad told me sternly

"Curfew? You know that we are adults and married... I mean I don't think we'll take that long... But still!" I protested

"Take the key and go. I can't assure you that I'll be up and about to open the door." Dad said and I nodded

I went up to our room for freshening up and changing.

"Hi! How was your day?" Indrayan asked me just as I entered the room

"It was fine. We have a program coming up soon... Campus Talks. We will be assigned a college, anywhere in India. Senior said that he will tell us which college or university we will be assigned, on Monday. How was your day?" I asked after replying to his question

"I had a good day too. Two people approached me with their cases. The thing is that I was planning on waiting for the current case to get a closure, before taking up a new case; but I am actually inclined on taking the two cases. I was wondering what I should do."

I listened to him and then walked to the wardrobe to take out my clothes for the evening.

"Don't worry, you will figure something out." I told him and made my way to the washroom for freshening up.

I got ready in a casual dress.

I brushed my hair and left it open , after reapplying liquid vermilion

I brushed my hair and left it open , after reapplying liquid vermilion. I applied some kohl and lip balm; that's it, I am ready!

Indrayan was also ready. He was wearing a casual shirt with jeans.

"Where exactly are we going?" I asked him while clasping my watch on my wrist.

"We are going to Smoke House Deli. Hope that is fine?" 

"Perfect! And I guess I am definitely drinking tonight... The restaurant is well within walking distance, so I guess I don't have to worry. We are walking there, right?" I asked him
