The sounds of sobbing were reaching their ears but they were busy staring at each other. Young-Soo wanted to say sorry to her on one hand. On the other, Ashma wanted to apologise to him for being rude and arrogant to him the previous night. She also wanted to apologise on behalf of her mother.
"Are you okay?" asked Ashma while wiping her tears.
"I just broke your mother's heart," sobbed Young-Soo and said harshly. "I am not okay neither is she."
"I will take care of her," assured Ashma.
Young-Soo was surprised at her answer. Why was she not angry? Why was she not shouting at him for hurting her mother? "You are not angry," asked Young-Soo.
"If you would have chosen her over mumma, I would have been angry but now I am happy and proud of you," said Ashma smiling.
"What?" Young-Soo was shocked at her reply.
"I was angry at you yesterday and I am sorry about that," apologised Ashma. She bowed down and joined her hands in namaste.
