Past:
A cup of coffee from here after work
was Ritu's routine. Like her name depicts she was a season of changes. But in
spite of any season this routine never changed. She had her own space there and
her own time. It was an unspoken unwritten rule even among the cafe staffs that the corner space is reserved for her only at her time. But Ritu didn't know at
another time of dusk someone else would be taking her place every day. And she
definitely didn't know one day when both of their time collides, they would meet.
Present:
Every evening after work when both of them will be tired and stressed from work, when both of them have those worry lines, frustrated looks and stubborn weight on their shoulders, they meet over a cup of coffee. And with each sip all those worry lines and frustration just starts to evanesce. And when that very last ounce of coffee touch their lips, their minds will be like a clean slate on which anything new can be written. Is it the magic of caffeine or the power of each other's presence that's refreshing them?
At times they talk non-stop and at times they just are there next
to each other with a peaceful silence deluging them. But whatever they do,
after their ritual coffee meet they are rejuvenated to tackle life again with
determination, peace and smiles.

P.S. The thought behind this is that of a friend's. I just scribbled his idea.
