Could we spend the evening near that lotus pond today? It will be a great nostalgic experience sitting beside it and recalling our beautiful courtship days," Seva asks hesitatingly, unsure of her husband Shreshth's response.
Shreshth looks up at Seva from his laptop and replies irritatingly, "Grow up, Seva. We are no longer teenagers. The Japanese delegation will visit the office tomorrow, so please let me focus on preparing my presentation. You also focus on preparing the dinner." Seva begins to prepare dinner, but she can barely contain her tears. Even on Sundays, Shreshth can't find time for her. Bhakti and Pratham, their children, are settled abroad. She often feels lonely and perhaps unloved.
When lonely, she recalls how madly Shreshth was in love with her. He would borrow her friend's bicycle and ride for half an hour to reach that lotus pond where she would be waiting. Then, they would talk until it was dark.
