My First Date

In this emotionally charged narrative, a man reflects on a meaningful day spent with someone he deeply cares about. As he rides a train, he recalls visiting her at the hospital where her parents were critically ill. Despite their initial awkwardness, their connection deepens during their time together.

In the hospital canteen, he nervously offers her chocolates she doesn't like, but she values his presence more than anything. Their heartfelt conversation reveals a strong bond, marked by intense eye contact and the simple gesture of holding hands. He shares his lunch with her, which she gratefully accepts after days of hospital food.

Later, while sitting in a park, they discuss their future. His metaphor of a "white canvas" for the kind of partner he desires reflects his openness, while her responses highlight their deepening connection.

As their time together comes to an end, he stammers while arranging his ride home, and she helps him. Their farewell is bittersweet, underscoring the profound impact of their brief but intense connection.
