On a Sunday afternoon, Kaushik and Riya were together in a restaurant that is very well known for its hygiene.
Kaushik (to Riya): Was it your idea to have a date for finalizing the wedding?
Riya: Yeah. I had suggested my parents for this ‘meeting’, you are only calling it a date.
Kaushik: Oh come on, it’s obviously a date. By the way, your Family seems very cool. They agreed to your ‘Date before Marriage’ thing.
Riya: Don’t give all the credits to my family, your family is also cool to agree on the same.
Kaushik: Actually, my family didn’t think about your suggestion that way. After they heard this idea of yours, they were very confused. Then, they shared the same with me, I found it cool and we are here, dating each other.
Riya: Okay. So, you love credits, what else do you love other than that?
Kaushik: Many things, and I think, one more thing is going to be added to the list before we leave the restaurant today. Oh sorry, it would be wrong to call a living being a ‘thing’.
They talked about almost everything they know and got to know each other very well. After 2 hours and 47 minutes………………..
Riya: I think we should leave now.
Kaushik: Okay. So, what do you think about our long-term partnership?
Riya: I don’t think I would have a problem with that, another date would be better.
Kaushik: Ohh. You said ‘date’ instead of ‘meeting’. Cool.
Riya: So, when should we meet next?
Kaushik: Today is Sunday, 15th March 2020. In the coming week, as you told, you are going to be busy in your office and I love my job too. So, next Sunday, 22ndMarch 2020. What do you say?
Riya: Yeah. I am fine with that. Done.
Both of them had a great date. Then, on 22ndMarch 2020, ‘Janta Curfew’ happened, after this, social gatherings were denied and social distancing was recommended, then, ’21 Days Lockdown’.
