Small Story 674
.Life Is Beautiful – 19
Vasanthi suggested that Ram visit the famous Brindavan Gardens to see the beautiful illuminated lights. On holidays, the musical lighting show was always held. Since it was a Sunday, she thought it would be the perfect time to go.
Ram agreed, and they took a taxi to the Brindavan Gardens.
The place was crowded with people from all over the world—it was no exaggeration to say so. The main attraction was the illuminated fountains, where the colorful lights danced in perfect harmony with the music. It had been designed by the famous Karnataka engineer and visionary, Sir M. Visvesvaraya.
Vasanthi said, "One of the world's finest gardens, with its musical fountain, is the main highlight."
Ram smiled. "Yes, I agree. With your beautiful narration, this beautiful place has become even more beautiful."
Vasanthi laughed. "No, Ram."
Ram replied, "A fact is a fact. You are also a beautiful woman."
The moment he said it, Ram wondered why he had made such a personal comment.
Vasanthi smiled shyly. "Really? Am I beautiful? Then you are handsome too."
Ram laughed. "Thank you for the compliment."
They then started walking across the green lawns, enjoying the beauty of the gardens.
Vasanthi said softly, "Today is a memorable day for me."
Ram asked, "What is the reason?"
She replied, "Because I am walking with you."
Ram smiled. "It is memorable for me too. If I tell you something, you should not misunderstand me."
Vasanthi replied, "Whatever you say, I won't misunderstand."
Ram said, "Being here with you reminds me of the old film songs picturized on a hero and heroine in beautiful gardens."
Vasanthi exclaimed, "Oh, my God! What a beautiful imagination! I like it."
"Thank you," Ram said.
After a brief silence, Vasanthi continued, "I have met many people in my life, but I don't know why—you have impressed me."
Ram looked at her warmly. "I feel the same."
Just then, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a gentle rain began to fall.
