*On their way to the temple*"Why didn't you let him come with us?" She askedVihaan didn't respond to her instead he turned on the music.She looked at him in disappointment and rolled the music off "I.. about yesterday... " she was trying to speak her feelings out but she did not know how to do it..."..." Vihaan glanced at her to ensure that he is listening..."This... is for you," she said handing over a scarf."... Weather is colder than yesterday" "It's sunny but still winds are a bit chilly and it's not good for a weak person...""... I am not saying that you are weak... It's just... Yesterday you had a fever and it's more likely to catch it again...""I shouldn't give you something old like this as a present but this is the only one I have... I'll buy you one when we go back... ""This may seem old and unfashionable but it's soft and warm... " she was babbling without break... "Okay, I accept your thank you"  Vihaan replied with a sweet smile..."I didn't say thanks... I mean I am thankful for so many things and I should have expressed my gratitude... But...." She was still going on without a full stop "Are you still sick?" he interrupted her.Her mouth was sealed due to his sudden question, for a moment she was confused."When did you start talking this much..." he teased her, noticing confusing emotions on her face.After that, she was silent the entire time until they arrived at the temple. They get out of the car. Manasvini was looking here and there, searching for others..."They aren't here yet," Vihaan told her"I wish they take the wrong route" he muttered with a smile."Hm... What did you say?" She asked"Let's take a look around" he suggested"Okay," she repliedAs they are walking by the temple"They are selling locks... " she queried Every shop was selling locks and keys along with other worship goods. She went inside a shop to buy some flowers and other items while Vihaan was waiting outside the shop."Didi, buy a lock too" a little girl recommended[Didi is a Hindi word, used for a girl/woman who is older than the speaker. (Means older sister.)]"..." Manasvini glanced at the little girl with confused expressions"There is an old saying, if you put a lock on the railing of the temple, your love will come true" the shopkeeper explained, observing the look on her face."I'll buy one" she replied with a shy smile.
