She met Sara at her hotel and spent two days with her. Now she knew what true love was. It was a feeling of being complete, of wanting to spend time with someone, of knowing and respecting each other’s silences, of having the same hopes and dreams, of sharing ideas and encouraging each other. And it had nothing to do with age, or gender. The thought blew her mind. ‘So where do you want to take me?’ Sara asked as Kavita got into her car. ‘I’ll take you to a place that means a lot to me,’ Kavita said as she started driving. She had decided to take Sara to a lovely place she would ordinarily not visit. She figured if Sara understood this part of her life, maybe she could start believing in the possibility of being with this woman. Kavita drove Sara to the Lotus Temple in Delhi. It was a beautiful place that was peaceful and sacred for those who believed in it. ‘This is beautiful,’ Sara said as they walked up the lawns. Kavita was glad. As they sat inside in silence, with their eyes closed, Kavita felt a deep sense of peace.
