Ecstasy of Heart

Part 2 : The Decision

Sanjana was in the coffee shop drinking the second coffee for the day when finally her friend Avni arrives.

"Why are you always late Avni"

"I was just caught up in the traffic Sanju, sorry"

"It's okay now tell me what is wrong. It's rare that you come cribbing to me about some problem rather than going to Rudr"

"This time the problem is him"

"What did he do?"

"He didn't do anything but my father wants to do something"

"Explain from the start and clearly"

"You know that I became a doctor to join the army but I never said that my father"

"Yeah I know, did you not tell at home yet. You even got your acceptance letter right."

"I said my dad and he has laid a condition in front of me"

"And that is?"

"I have to get engaged before I leave"

"Whatt!!"

"As I don't have a boyfriend he suggested that I should marry Rudr"

"Does Rudr know about this?"

"Not yet he said he will talk to Rudr's dad about it once I decide"

"Oh, rudr is a nice guy it won't be that bad I guess"

"Avni he is my friend"

"Better than a stranger right"

"Yes but .."

"Sanju we are friends from our college and you know Rudr from your childhood. This 5 years of friendship with you I have only seen how amazing person he is and how he helps you with every other thing"

"I know but I am not sure about this. I will be gone for at least 5 6 years and he will be alone"

"You should talk to him"

"I will tonight"

"Now let's order something"

"Yeah" Sanju replied with a storm in her mind and life.

It was almost 6 and Sanjana couldn't come up with a plan to talk to Rudr, she was in her thoughts when her mobile rang

"Hello Sanju"

"Hello"

"You remember the Mehra deal dad asked me to handle"

"Yeah, how did the meeting go"

"It was amazing they were very impressed"

"That's awesome"

"Yeah, lets meet and celebrate. Dinner is on me be ready by 7, I will come and pick you"

"Okay," sanjana replies and cut the call. She decided she had to talk to him today at dinner.

At 7 Rudr came and picked her up and they went to one her favorite restaurant,

"I am so proud of you Rudr, I knew you would win the deal"

"I was so worried but then I gathered up the courage and started the meeting"

"That's good"

"How is uncle? Did he talk with you"

"Yes and now he has given me a condition"

"Oh"

"He wants me to engaged now and marry later."

"Whaattt!"
