The person returns back
The person is walking back and remembers a couplet from a famous Urdu poet, which says "How do I tell the other person that one of us will be lost in the journey; you do not discourage your co-passenger in the journey". In its native it was (with due regards to poet, who wrote it) - "Usey kaise batata ki saath chhot jana jaroori tha, safar me musafir ka hausala nahi toratey"
Person goes into a virtual communication with flower. The virtual communication is like playing chess alone. In solo chess game, you place a move and you only place the counter move. In virtual communication, you state something and you only respond on other person's behalf. But, the virtual communication was not clicking this time.
The person gives up.
And now it is for the flower to decide its destiny (though it is already decided by God) , whether the flower wants the person to return and re-commence the journey or flower is happy now and person should continue on his own path.
