"A good, standard one."

I mentioned.
I saw Deepika smiling at nothing.

"What?"

She looked at me.

"What?"

"I saw you smiling. Share with me too..."

"No, I was thinking about you.."

"Oh really? May I know what was it about?"

"Mmm.. It was like... You're so caring. About everything.."

She lent me those black eyes for a moment to cherish.

"Oh. Is that a compliment?"

"It's a fact."

"And it's not a compliment?"

"No, I mean yes. It's a compliment and a fact. Happy?"

We both laughed together. Light moments were coming.
I saw a clothe store still open and asked the auto driver to stop.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm buying something for you."

"No. It's okay. I'll manage with these."

She tried to stop me, in vain.
I asked the auto driver to wait and took her inside the shop. It was a small shop. They were closing but relented to my request.
I chose her white churidar with orange flowers in it and an orange leggings.

"Enough?"

"Yeah, enough!"

"Nothing else?"

She looked at me in confusion.

"Should I select your inner wears also?"

I asked in a very low voice. She was embarrassed. And her embarrassment was cute. She looked at me like I said something I shouldn't have. But I looked at her like I meant it.

"Okay."

She said and walked to the side where such clothes were kept. I stood near the bill counter only. She selected a pair of bra and panty before returning.
I paid the bill and she collected the packet.

"I'll pay you all the money tomorrow."

She said once we were back in the auto.

"As you like. But not for these clothes. Take it as a gift from me."

"No, no. I'll pay you."

"Oh come on... At least the churidar?"

"No, thanks."

We looked into each other's eyes. I saw the dignity of a married woman in hers. I could sense she wouldn't relent no matter how much I force her.

"Okay. It's okay."

"Sorry, if I hurt you, Krish."

She said. I felt like it came directly from her heart.

"It's okay, I told you."

The auto stopped near a big hotel. Hotel Sri Raghav. The driver said rooms will be available in that hotel.
I gave Deepika four thousand rupees.

"Okay, now you go and take any room you'd like. I'll go search another hotel."

I said.

She started to say something but paused. Then said okay and got down.

Then turned to me.

"We will see again, right?"

"Of course we will. Tomorrow, in the hospital. I want my money back, madam!"

"Oh! Yeah really! I forgot!"

She laughed at her stupidity and walked away, towards the hotel reception.
I just wanted her to gain some courage by doing things herself. I waited outside the gate as she went in.
But soon I saw Deepika walking out, in a hurry, with an even more worried face. She was thinking I might have gone. On seeing me, she relaxed a bit.

"What happened now?"

I asked.

"No rooms available."

"Oh. Very nice."

We sat back inside the auto.

"Let's try another one, bhayya."

I told the driver.

"I thought you would have left. I was worried."

She looked at me.

"How can I leave you like that? You just complimented me that I'm caring and how can I?"

She smiled at me again.

"Thanks."
