Togetherness...

http://rochellewisofffields.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/jennifer-pendergast4.jpg

Some walks can never be forgotten. More so if “that” special someone is holding your hands and walking beside.

That evening, Lakshmi felt special, with Krishnan walking beside, hand in hand. A glance or a touch was enough to convey a tsunami of emotions.

“Lux, how about a second honeymoon?” Krishnan spoke first startling Lakshmi.

“WHAT?!” She exclaimed without trying to hide her surprise. After all their relationship had always free from pretense.

“Why not? Our son is married and well-settled. It’s time for us to restart and relive those good old days… Make more memories…,” he said.

She squeezed his hands and blushed as he smiled back.

They have been married for thirty five years now and words were not needed to communicate anymore.


PS: Thanks Rochelle for the prompt! J

    Ha! True contentment! I liked much of this but thought you gave too much away near the beginning, about the 35 yrs of marriage. I might have kept that line back for near the end somehow. Just an opinion, but really enjoyed it and found it culturally very interesting too.

    Dear Satya,

    It's nice to read about enduring love.

    I don't think "explained" is the word you want after "WHAT?" Perhaps, "She cried..." Just a suggestion.

    I love it that after 35 years he can still make her blush. Sweet story.

    shalom,

    Rochelle
