Pritam Babu finished his glass of juice with a straw and looked at Ginny (wife) sitting in front of him. His Ginni (wife) Veenadevi is still sitting like that. The way the waiter left the glass of juice placed in front of him. Seeing this, Pritambabu joked, "Oh Ginni, remember how we drank with two straws in a coconut on that Goa trip. Do you want to relive those memories today?"
Hearing Pritambabu's words like this, Veenadevi looked with warm eyes and Pritambabu said, Hey, what's the matter with so much anger?
Veenadevi sarcastically said, "Don't you feel a bit ashamed to say these things at this old age? My head is cut off in shame and your memory is churning again! See how the people around are looking?"
Pritambabu raised his voice a little and said, "Let's see more. Are we committing a crime by celebrating our fiftieth first meeting? Instead we should all say, look, we've spent fifty springs of life together. And we will. The rest of the springs till we die." together." "
Hearing Pritambabu's soliloquy, all Veena Devi's shyness suddenly vanished and she remembered the joy of their first meeting fifty years ago. Unknowingly, a flash of shame came and confused Binadevi. On the other hand, Pritambabu saw Binadevi's shy face and joked, "I don't need to be shy at this old age. Rather, drink the juice quickly. We were holding hands and eating boiled chickpeas by the river. Ganges in the autumn afternoon. We will walk home a little. How?" "
Veenadevi overcame her shyness and looked at Pritambabu with a smile and concentrated on the glass of juice with a silent nod.
