It was the old lady she was speaking with earlier and she had overheard her conversation and asked her if she would like to join them since they all live in the same neighborhood. She didn’t want to get a free ride and be indebted to them and a burden to them. They insisted that it would be nice to have her along and they haven’t been out at night in a long time and promised it would be a pleasant drive.
He added that she can make sure that they don’t get lost and that either of them doesn’t fall asleep on their way back. Akshar seemed to agree that it would be a better option than taking a cab home. She reluctantly agreed to their request, since they were a very nice couple and she felt it would be a better option under the given circumstances.
Akshar thanked her for a nice evening and thanked the couple for offering to give her a ride and shook hands with the old man and took off. She enquired how come they were here, a long drive and pretty late in the evening. The couple replied that it was their fortieth wedding anniversary and they wanted to celebrate and their children had arranged for a nice evening all paid for.
