The night was silent as Jaggu and Ruts walked within the campus grounds, only the chirruping of the cicadas giving them company.

Suddenly, Jaggu pulled Ruts towards him so that her shoulder was almost touching his.

‘Ruts, listen to me,’ he said, his expression hidden in the dark. ‘Twenty years ago you turned me down. That was a mistake, let’s face it. You still love me. I’ve seen the look on your face when your eyes turn in my direction. And I notice there’s no love lost between you and Kailash. So c’mon. Let’s accept the truth. Your decision to leave me was a mistake. You know that. It’s not too late. Let’s make a fresh start. Why not! I’ll do anything if you say you’ll marry me. Ruts, I’m asking you once again, please marry me. Please leave Kailash.’

And then he pulled her even closer and kissed her.
