the occupants were newly-weds headed for a restaurant that was a few
kilometers down the road. I explained that this space was meant for
parking sangat cars. The couple proceeded towards their destination.

Within a few minutes they came back and enquired if they could

A few years later, I was again hit by a bad fever, which went up to
