She drives aimlessly in the rain; tears, hope, and longing
striking through her. The long stretch of road makes her aching intensify with
every minute. She arrives. The rain has stopped. She gets out of her car just
as he pulls in to the parking lot. He pulls off his helmet and she stands
there. Their eyes meet after what feels like an eternity. All the rehearsed
arguments, all the hatred, all the pains just melt away as they rush towards each
other in a forgiving embrace. No words are spoken. Only a gush of warmth
emanates through them. They vow to be together til the end and live happily ever
after.
The end.

Reality check.
She drives aimlessly (because she has no idea where
she’s going and she couldn’t read a map even if it were the Idiot’s Guide
version) in the rain (it’s not rainy season!! And even if it were
raining, why on earth would you choose a rainy night to drive somewhere you’re
not even sure where it is?); tears, hope, and longing striking through her
(more like “Oh God, I’m lost. I’m screwed. I’m gonna run outta gas I the middle
of nowhere and be eaten by dingos”). The long stretch of road makes her aching intensify
with every minute (Again, that could also be the feeling you get when
you think you’re about to be eaten by dingos). She arrives (Ok, let’s
assume by some miracle she does). The rain has stopped (Seriously, stop
it with the rain). She gets out of her car just as he pulls in to the parking
lot (Coincidence? I think NOT!). He pulls off his helmet and she
stands there (What else would she do, put her hands up and yell “The
dingos are coming!! The dingos are coming!!”?). Their eyes meet after what feels
like an eternity Their eyes meet and she gives a large potato smile.
All
the rehearsed arguments, all the hatred, all the pains just melt away as they
rush towards each other in a forgiving embrace (Probably they’d just
stand there looking at each other). No words are spoken (Don’t even get me started
on this one!). Only a gush of warmth emanates through them (It could
be pee..better check).
Here’s a more accurate guess of how things would unfold:
Woman desperately Google-maps the place. She tries to
download it to her phone only to realize she’s not as tech-savvy as she would
like. She gives up. Opens a bag of chips and falls asleep. The end.
Awww, what’s the fun in that? Ok, so let’s assume she doesn’t
give up, eh?
Right, so she gets dressed up, picking her newest clothes
and painting her face all pretty and sets off. She drives cautiously and peers
at all the signboards telling herself she is an idiot for doing this and all
the while wondering how she’s going to find her way home later. Never mind, the
journey continues.
She arrives at the place. Drives up to the apartment
building and rolls down the window. “Sorry, only registered tenants allowed in”.
So she parks outside only to realize the apartment is a whole complex of seven
gazillion blocks!! Never mind, let’s assume the journey still continues. Kindly
be reminded in this version, it is night time.
She patiently awaits (Read: stalks) to catch a glimpse of
his return (Read: hands on steering wheel, eyes slitted into tiny lines). Then
there he is!! He revves past her, and she quickly (Read: grabs the steering
lock, locks the steering, jumps out of the car like a tumbleweed and makes a
dash for it.) leaves the car. Now for the sake of my sanity, let’s assume he
doesn’t entirely disappear and she actually catches up to him. So she patiently
lurks in the corner where he can’t see, and waits for him to get off his bike.
She scurries (Read: it looks like something a human sized hamster would do when
it sees a fresh tomato) towards him and he hears the large creature coming at
him and they both stand there. Stunned. She gives a large potato smile. He
opens his mouth “Dam* it b*tch, how’d you find out where I live? I’m calling
the cops. Get the h*ll away from me!!”
The end.
