The wedding was fixed for Wednesday. There was lots of shopping to do once her official leave began on Monday. The weekend was going to be busy for Saanvi. While her fiancé Aarav was away for his final bachelor weekend, she had a look at her to-do list.
The backyard of Saanvi and Aarav’s house needed fresh laying. That was high on her list of chores. It would be a good time to meet the cute devil – her ex, she thought. One last time. Maybe she should get some fresh plants and grass on the way back. That would kill two birds in one stone, she decided. She locked the main door of her house, checked her purse, and stepped out, keeping the latch to the backyard open.
After her return, that afternoon and evening was the most that she had dug on one single day. The fresh soil, the new special fertilizer, the shovel and the spades, planting the seeds, leveling the soil and laying the grass on top – all of it was hard work.
But just before the sun went down, she had finished it. She stood staring at their newly laid backyard garden. Aarav would be happy, Saanvi felt. She was satisfied and felt at peace with herself, anyway. She was all set for Wednesday.
“The devil lies at rest here. So much for rejecting my proposal,” she sighed.
