We stood upon the pavement. There was a slight drizzle. She had a pink umbrella which we shared waiting for an empty auto to pass by. After 5 minutes and no one saying another word we got an empty auto for her.

With an ache in my heart and a tear in my eye I watched her go away.

I turned away towards home. I turned to have a last look, atleast at the auto, when I saw her get down from the auto and come running towards me.

“Sonnyâ€?, she said looking up boring into eyes, “will you give me a parting gift? I am note sure we will ever meet again. Not in this life.â€?

I never replied. I just kept looking at her.

She planted a kiss on my lips.

And then she walked away.
