"How many times will you look at yourself in the mirror. You are looking good. Can't you give up on looks for now.?" Vegas tells Pete who is continuously watching the mirror.

"You still have problem with me dressing up? Even when I am leaving you?"

"Why are you leaving then. I said sorry so many times. But you are just not ready to listen."

"Because sorry doesn't change everything Vegas. Sometimes we have to end because we have no choice. Atleast we are ending it mutually and peacefully."

"Sorry , but i won't agree with those two words. Neither it's mutual nor its peaceful, it's just your stubbornness. I wanted to make it work , but you didn't co-operate."

"Ok , stop complaining now. I just have one hour before I leave. My car will be here soon. Won't you take a last tour of house with me?"

"What's there to take tour. It's all rooms and decorations."

"No , it's a home that we built together."

"So why are you leaving it?"
"Who would know better than you? If you would have given me time, I would have been happy and then we could have prevented this day"

"You are such a drama Pete "
"Ok ok sorry. I can't blame you for that atleast "

"Ok, come. You can hold my elbow and take the walk right? For the last time."

"Sure, I would never mind that."

"Not all the places in this giant house are your favourite, tell me which ones you want to take a last look at"

"You know me too well"

"I do. Who else was I suppose to know?"

"Take me to the room, where we first saw each other. Your sculpting room."

.......

"It still looks so fresh here, as if you have just made a sculpture."

"It looks like that to you only, because you are leaving, for me it's merely dust here."

"Because you don't sculpt anymore. You have indulged yourself so much in family life that you have stopped doing the things you use to love."

"Pete"
"Hmm?"

"You were beautiful when you entered that door"

"And you were sitting right on this place. High end chair and a white clay in the front. I still remember, your black trousers and your bare upper body. I was jawdropped."

"And you were even more jaw dropping, i thought I found the one I was looking for"

"Looking to sculpt?"
"Yes, I was looking for an inspiration and you appeared."

(Flashback)

"May i?" Pete asked Vegas

Vegas turned around and lost his hold on his chair. Pete took his breath away in that moment. His world brightening smile with those deep dimples, the white loose shirt paired with white trousers made him just looked like an angel.

But Pete was no less than Vegas. He could not hide his real feelings when he eyed Vegas from head to toe.

"I am here for..."
"Let me sculpt you please"
"Sure. And if you do that beautifully, if you do, then it's a yes from my side."

"Huh?" Vegas knitted his eyebrows
"I am the one you had to meet today for marriage. The meeting arranged by your neighbour"
