THE TIME WHEN I FAILED , PART - 7
Aditi sat beside me in the car. I was too nervous to say something first. She started the conversation by asking, How far is your house from the restaurant ? I answered, Not very far. It takes half an hour by a car. She then asks, Do you know the way to the sunset point ? I answer, Yes. She asks me to drive us there. I did the same. We reached the sunset point and Aditi asked me to come with her. So, I parked the car and came. It was just so beautiful.

As we were returning home at night so we missed the view of the sunset but we did enjoy the view of the night sky. Stars shining, A very dark sky, Almost a full moon. It was everythng anyone would imagine. Aditi got the picnic mat from the car and we laid the mat on the slope. I was just coming back after closing the car. And as soon as I came here I saw that Aditi was lying on the mat and staring the stars. I went and sat beside her. I asked, what is she doing ? She asked me to lay down beside her. And when I laid. I asked, Why are we staring the stars like this ?

She answers, When I was a small child and I used to get angry or upset. I used to get out of my house and go to a park that is near my house. I used to lay the picnic mat. I used to sit or I used to lay down like we are now also. It developed as a therapy for me. As a teenager I went through a lot. And I couldn't handle all the things back then. I just used to do the same and continued too. And still if I am angry or upset, You will find me in the lawn lying on a mat and staring at the stars.

I said, I am sorry. I didn't know that it holds importance in your life. She said, It's okay. Your reaction was still fine. When my fiance got to know about that whenever I get angry or upset. I stare the stars and get my control back, he felt that all this is very childish and he wanted me to stop. He won't change a single habit of his for me, but I have to completely change myself to a new person who will be specially customised for him or you can say will be perfect for him.

For the next part you will have to wait.
