Rudra had planned everything so perfectly in his mind.

And even more, when he saw it all come into vision, just as he had imagined.

Rudra and Kalyani were on a boat ride across the Yamuna. The ferry was taking them to the Dwarkadhish Temple, situated right on the banks of the river.

“Hurry! The Temple will close soon for the afternoon bhog.” Initially they had thought of walking to the Temple, along the stairs of the Ghats, but then the boat man notified them that the Temple was about to close in half an hour. And the nearest route was via the ferry service.

Jogan ban firu, tere prem mein,
Tu ho Yamuna ka kinara, to mai hu leher,
Tere hi preet dhundhu mai gali gali , sheher sheher.

“What are you doing, Kalyani?”

Rudra noticed that she was scribbling something in her notebook. She was struggling to hold it up in her hands and support it while writing.

He knew that she would write often and also updated her diary regularly. But he never asked her what she was writing, respecting her privacy.

“Here, you can write properly now”, he said, sitting next to her, and giving her space to support her notebook over his chest.

I can't believe I'm writing love poetry over his heart, quite literally.

She was blushing seeing his sweet gesture to let her annotate on his chest.

“Here, we have reached the banks. Now, hurry up and have a Darshan.” The couple got down from the boat, with Rudra infront, holding Kalyani's hand and helping her out.

As predicted, the Temple was just about to close. But they made it on time.

They were on their way back to the boat from the Temple.

“We as humans are blessed with a soulmate. Spiritual people are highly evolved and very conscious about this. And when we meet our Divine counterpart or true soulmate, signs are communicated with the universe.”

Kalyani could hear a man speak to a bunch of young people, dressed in the same shirt. They were probably from an institution.

The man noticed Kalyani staring at him. He looked at her and smiled.

“Hi! I am a holistic amd relationship coach.” He introduced himself and brought his hand forward for a handshake.

Kalyani smiled back and was about to reciprocate his handshake, but Rudra came right in between at the moment.

He shook the man's hand instead. “Hi, I'm Rudra Chauhan, son of…”

“Ye… yes… I know,” the man's confidence seemed to shatter as beads of sweat developed on his head, while shaking hands with Rudra. He stammered and struggled to speak.
