"We've been in relation from last one year. How will I say this to her?". I said to myself while looking into the mirror. "But she is mature. She can handle this. I wish she do not make big fuss about it". I assured myself with these words and wash my face. I shaved my two weeks old beard. It was a long time I met her that's why I did not shave since long.
I went to my wardrobe and try to find a T-Shirt. As any other software engineer none of my T-Shirt was clean. So, I started looking for the T-Shirt which was least dirty. Somehow I found a decent enough T-shirt and a pair of jeans. While dressing I was unable to stop myself from thinking about Sonia, my girl friend. I guess I've already mentioned that I was seeing her from last one year. Today I am going for date with her last time. Afterall, I am going to get married after three months. My parents have selected a girl for me whom I also had met and agreed to marry. Today I am planning to tell Sonia that I would no longer be seeing her anymore.
Today I called her in Forum. For this date I wanted a crowded place and where can you get more crowd other than Forum itself. Actually she may make fuss about this issue so I selected a crowded place where she will restrict herself of doing that. I smiled at myself and appreciated my intelligence.
When I reached there she was waiting for me. But she was looking different from other days. It seemed there is melancholy spread everywhere. She was looking dull, in fact very dull. "Is she OK today?. Had she got the idea of what I am going to tell her today?" Just thought. "Anyways how does matter. Today is last date we are going to have", I re-assured myself. After small greetings we started towards third floor food-court. It was unusual short greeting today we had. we have bought a pizza and two coke and found a corner seat in that over-crowded place. We talked about work, office, latest movies - Ghajini, Rab ne Bana di Jodi, and Aamir Khan.
Suddenly she changed her emotions and started saying. "Pawan, I do not know how to start but listen to me carefully". She left me puzzled. "I know you are mature enough to understand my situation. Even though we are in relation from last one year but I can not carry it anymore. My parents have selected a guy for me and I also said yes to him. He is in US in Microsoft.". She left me baffled. One one hand I was shocked and on the other hand it felt that someone has off-loaded a heavy burden from my head. With this dual feelings I came back to home, give it a thought and as a daily ritual I was dialing a number of my fiancee in my mobile.
