GROCERY STORE- A SanDhir OS
The hustle bustle of the supermarket was at it's peak. It was a Saturday evening, and people were pushing their trolleys, searching for items while occasionally taking a look at their shopping lists, and the line at the counter was very long.
And stuck in the middle of all this, was Randhir, who was struggling with pushing a trolley which was being piled with more and more stuff every few seconds. If only the wheels where properly aligned!!
As he was struggling with the trolley, almost bumping into people on the way, Sanyukta was swiftly walking from one section to the other, looking for the items on her shopping list. She would keep prompting Randhir to hurry up as he managed to push his way through the jostling crowd.
"Cornflakes done, bread done, sugar done, washing powder done..." Sanyukta went through her list and crossed out the items she had put in the trolley. "OK...only biscuits, Vim bar and toilet roll left," Sanyukta said with a sigh of relief.
"What?? More things?! You've got enough stuff to last 6 months!" Randhir exclaimed.
She just rolled her eyes and said, "Relax...grocery shopping aisi hi hoti hai. Better to get lots of stuff at once than to keep returning."
Randhir grudgingly pushed the trolley to the other sections of the supermarket. After all the required items were in the trolley, both of them stood in line to buy the stuff they had got. After what seemed like an eternity, they finally got their things checked out and left the supermarket, each carrying a heavy bag full of groceries.
Randhir and Sanyukta got an auto to go home.
He sulked all throughout the ride home. They finally reached their house and arranged all the groceries, keeping them in their respective shelves and cabinets.
They finally finished up and relaxed on the couch. Randhir was still upset.
"What happened?" Sanyukta asked him. He just ignored her and moved away from her, crossing his arms.
"Tell me na!" she insisted. He turned to her and said, "We wasted a date for grocery shopping! We could have been at India Gate watching the sunset and eating ice cream. But no! We wasted our evening in an overcrowded supermarket."
He was pouting and frowning...looking absolutely adorable. đł
Sanyukta smiled and told Randhir to close his eyes. On her insistence, he did.
He opened his eyes to a wonderful surprise. In front of him, there were two Oreo McFlurries!! His favourite ice cream!
He smiled widely and went to attack his McFlurry.
"Thank you," he said happily to Sanyukta. "Welcome...it is a small compensation for our cancelled date," she replied.
They sat and demolished their ice creams together. All the anger had been dissolved.
"And as for grocery shopping, usse toh tum escape nahi kar sakte. Every married couple has to shop for groceries," she said with a mischievous grin. Randhir wiped her ice cream moustache with his thumb and grinned.
The grocery shopping had not been such a bad date after all.
