The cup in her hand was full with tea again..

Tea conversation poem translation continues Part 3

After one or two minutes I said,
"yes once that kind of dream came"
Oh that is a good sign, she responded
And saying this she turned the tea cup upside down
The last drop of tea trickled down.

After shaking her head she stood up
That was not the usual place for the bus to stop
The driver had not turned to see her
And yet
he had already stopped the bus
She got down in a relaxed way
and sat  on the side of the street.
I looked at her
She was all smiles and laughed ,
the teeth along with the gum was visible
And the cup in her hand
was full with tea..
