“It has been a while,” Dev says,
“Yes, indeed.” Raj agrees,
“How are you? How is Devi?”, Dev checks,
“I am fine,just coming from visiting my sister,” smiles Raj,
“Oh, nice. I wanted to come visit her,you know,as a friend,” explains Dev.
“I know, She did not want to see you,right?”,
“My father told me,” clarifies Raj.
(They sit down at the cafeteria facing each other, finding that neither has changed a bit but also a lot at the same time.)
“I always wanted to meet you again,”
“Here I am,right after my studies abroad,” smiles Raj.
“Is there a particular reason?,” inquires Dev,
“Are you done for the day?,”
“I am hoping you would like to meet my sister again,” explains Raj.
Dev sees
“Sure, Why not?”,
“It sure feels nostalgic thinking about old days,” laughs Dev,gently.
“We’re here,” Raj steps out.
“What? I don’t see any houses here,” confuses Dev,
“She’s right here.”
Points to a graveyard right in front of them.
