...are you hungry 
No
Shall we go  for  soup 
No, the soup she liked  in the restaurant   wasn't difficult to reach from the  old campus  but she had   gone  quite farther away in  the opposite direction also she was dead tired from her shopping adventure,  so she couldn't  respond as was expected from her 
He understood she was tired walking around and explained Riksha and other transport options were available   there,  he pointed towards the g t road,  qandil  was nodding absent-minded, they crossed the road from under the metro bridge  and she  plucked a leaf from the  chinar tree that stood in the front of a bungalow,  hasn't looked at her demanding an explanation of her this action,  confused the  poor girl   pushed the  leaf  deep inside her long coat pocket  saying had she been born in the ottoman  Era she definitely would have been  a miniature artist,  her actively imaginative mind even had begun to  draw the  outlines of the  chinar leaf
Then I too would have been born during that Era and  to be  with you  must have  tried innumerable tricks,  thankfully  we are  in this  modern world and phone is a convenient option,  by the way are you going to paint something on that tiny chinar leaf,  conversationally he quickly had  got  down   to the  point of her matter 
She laughed,    the  seemingly  impossible puzzle was  easily solved  , she promised to tell him about it the next day
