Most Romantic Evening

It was silent... Very silent... unusual at this time of the day. The silence was frequently broken by the sound of thunder. Little drops of water had started knocking the windshield of my car. I could observe the splash of each drop on my windshield but soon the drops of rain got heavier and suddenly I could see only the flow of water on the windshield. The most unusual thing about this was, we were in the middle of road and none of the vehicles seemed to move an inch. Inshort we were in middle of a traffic block most commonly known as Traffic jam. "We" would refer to me and my "would be wife". This was our first date after our engagement. Infact we had just come out of watching a movie and then I had to drop her to her aunt's home which was around 25kms from my place. We had started our journey an hour ago and just after half an hour of journey we were stuck in this Traffic block. Initially we could hear lots of honking from other verhicles (including mine), but slowly everyone started realizing the honking would not clear the traffic on road. So one by one everyone had turned off the engine and it was very silent now (apart from the noise of rain falling over the rooftops). So with nothing else to do, I turned towards her, she was busy admiring the heavy rainfall outside the windows. I wanted to start some topic for discussion, but just kept looking at her for sometime. Guess she realised that I was watching her and she tried to look back at me. Realizing that, I started the conversation -

"So as you see, this is how our overcrowded city looks like, unlike your calm city."

She: "Hmmm... yeah our place is so calm and silent when compared to yours."

Me: "Well, I guess for sometime tough, our city has become silent anyway" and I start to laugh.

This did not amuse her to some extent. So clearing my throat again I start thinking on my next conversation topic. "So you liked the movie?" ... She: "Yeah... it was good".

Now there it was a typical situation where you are searching for topics to talk and make use of this good time and the topics are not coming out. Also the situation is worse since SHE is not helping in getting a new topic either. SHE is just replying to my questions without giving anything back for me to answer and find some time for next topic. So my mind was again racing to get on with some good nice topic and nothing was coming out. I had to spend some time asking her some basic stuff like Favourite food, Favourite hero etc... This helped since she gave her answers and responded with "What's yours?". We spent around 20-25 mins on this "Favourite" game and then it was silent again as we ran out of all "Favourites".
The rain outside had reduced a bit but the traffic was standstill yet. There were no signs of traffic getting cleared in near future, when suddenly she started the topic of "how was your college?". Aaaahhaaa... That was nice, more relieved now, since this topic could be extended further to pre-university college, high-scool and primary school. So there was plenty to talk. So we got started with this and as expected it lasted for more than an hour and was still going on, when suddenly we heard few car engines getting started. Finally the time had come to start my car engines as well to proceed to the destination.
This journey of 25kms took us 3 and half hours to complete in turn starting a new journey in our life symbolizing the beginning of a new relationship in which we are committed to each other.
By far the best evening of my life till now, hoping many more to come in our way...
