Tia and Suhail were searching for the mistake they had made. They did as they were told. There were no fights. Mikha smiled. "Why are you tensed? Nothing is wrong. It is just that you guys are too worked up. You need break. Tell me when was last time you took off.", Mikha said.
They thought for long time. Later Mikha said, "Maybe you should take it now. Go out and have fun." Tia laughed. "How can we take off just like that? ", she said. "Haven't you heard of sick leaves. Take one. Make instant plans to get together. You used to have spontaneous dates more often. What happened after marriage? Why did you stop?", Mikha said.
Suhail remembered the times when they would go out unplanned, leaving work and spending quality times together. He wondered how things change drastically after marriage. Love loses its worth after marriage. Maybe priorities get changed. They had become more responsible towards work than on their relationship. "What are you thinking? Go and have fun. You never used to think too much on unplanned dates before marriage. Why now?", Mikha said, forcing them to their rooms to get changed to casuals.
After lot of coaxing, they informed their respective bosses and got dressed for the date. Mikha chose the attire for them to wear. They wore the same dress that they wore during their first date.As soon as Mikha sent them out, she got ready to leave. She was happy with whatever she did and hoped everything went well. She prayed that she would come back here to happy couple.
Suhail and Tia wandered at the park they had visited during their first date. They didn't speak or looked at each other. They were like two strangers in the park. They would smile occasionally thinking about what had happened during their first date. Their first kiss, loud laughter and gleaming eyes pouring only love reminded them of how much they had missed. The memories of them discussing their future, sharing their fears and dreams reminded them of how much they had forgotten the past. When they came back to the reality, it would pinch their heart.
Tears welled up in Tia's eyes. It was first time since the cracks occurred in their relationship, she held his hand. He turned towards her. "What happened to us? We were in love. We couldn't stay a minute without each other. We admired the qualities each other. When did we become so critical?",they wondered as he wiped her tears. She hugged me as she couldn't control her sudden outburst of emotions. "I feel lonely. Can we get back together? I don't want to lose you. I promise I won't be rude to you.", Tia cried. "I was never away from you. I will always be with you, Tia. I love you. I promise I won't be mean to you.", he consoled her. Within minutes, they were smiling and happy. They spent their time leisurely by getting back the moments they had lost.
***** The End *****
