For some time they didn’t speak with each other though they were sitting close to each other. There were a wad of thoughts in each of their minds but they didn’t express at that time.
First, Prasanth broke the silence. “Have you applied for leave, Ma’am?”
Swathi nodded. “Informed already.”
“What shall we do next?” Prasanth asked her.
“You decide.” Swathi left it to his will.
“No, Ma’am. Everything is going to be according to your plan.”
“Do you lack of resourcefulness?”(ability to make decisions and act according to the plan)
When she pointed out the lack of his sense of resourcefulness, it hurt him. He didn’t turn to her side but looking at the waves. Like a parrot shot by an arrow, he felt the pain by her darting of poisonous words.
His silence made her realize her mistake for which she rued for the words spoken and in a regretting tone she spoke:” When you have become my life partner, you have full right to decide and I will follow according to your decision.” Swathi eased his wounded heart.
