One more promise

Saurav: Monika, I have a bitter news for you.

Monika: Oh! what is that?

Saurav: I have my engagement next week.

Monika: What?! our engagement?! did you consult me before deciding?

Saurav: It has nothing to do with you, I have engagement with a girl decided by my parents.

Monika: what the hell are you talking about? with the girl decided by your parents?! then why did you love me?!

Saurav: Don't raise your voice monika. Its irritating.

Monika: you would propose a girl, love a girl, sleep with her, then one day you would come and tell her that you would marry some other girl, if she asks why, Why wouldn't it be irritating?

Saurav: Is there any compulsion for a boy to marry a girl if he loves and sleeps with her.

Monika: Oh! how do I look like? like a call girl?

Saurav: I don't want to talk to you anymore, you are drunk enough to shout at me and scold me with a hell lot of rubbish words, I can't live with a girl like you.

Monika: Why can't you live with me?

Saurav: I said, don't shout at me.....

Monika: I am sorry dear, I won't shout at you....will you please marry me?...please.....change your mind for me....

Saurav: Have you changed your job?

Monika: No. But, what it has to do with our marriage?

Saurav: Isn't it stressful?

Monika: Yes, it is...

Saurav: Isn't your job one of the reasons for you to smoke and booze?

Monika: Are you coming there again? you are trying to control me, isn't it?

Saurav: No, I have no such intention and you know that.

Monika: No, You are speaking like a male chauvinist now.

Saurav: I don't want to depict myself as a male chauvinist because I am not one. Use anything other than that to defend yourself.

Monika: Okay, what if I ask you, is it a prerogative of men to drink and smoke?

Saurav: No, I don't say that, but men are not going to carry a baby and feed through their blood. It doesn't affect a baby much if a man smokes or drinks alcohol. But chances are more and in some cases babies have born addicted to drugs by the time of their birth. You know one thing?. I quit everything when the thought of telling you to quit smoking and drinking rose in my mind because I don't want to make you feel singled out. But you don't care about that. You just do what you wish.

Monika: what do you want me to do now?

Saurav: There is only one possibility. I can delay the engagement for another six months, take this time and change everything, then I can convince my parents and marry you, otherwise I will have to marry her because I don't want to marry a girl addicted to smoking and drinking. I don't want you to give birth to a baby with deformity or toxins in the body.

Monika: Hmm.... okay I will quit smoking cigarettes and booze but not cannabis.

Saurav: Why cannabis?!

Monika: Smoking cannabis doesn't affect the baby in any manner, its scientifically proved that even caffeine in the coffee that we drink affects the health of the baby but not cannabis. Please I need some dopamine to overcome stress, I cannot quit everything suddenly, I have watched people coming across withdrawal symptoms its terrible, please allow me to do this alone. I will also quit it slowly.

Saurav: Do whatever...

Monika: Please Saurav, please understand me. I will definitely change myself, because I need you in my life desperately.......I love you so much.

Saurav: I still remember the promise I made to you before we made out in the bed for the first time. I promise you I will marry and no other person than you can stop it. I love you and I want you to reciprocate it. Do you remember what you promised me?

Monika; Yes, I do. I promised you to quit smoking, drinking and flush the toxins in my body by changing the diet before we get married.

Saurav: Dear, I need some defense. Please heed to my words...Please change your job first.

Monika: Yes, I will...

Saurav: This is the last chance for you. Don't blame me if you fail to keep your promise, either you keep your promise or you just leave me.

Monika: Don't tell me to leave you, I can't do that, I will keep my promise this time.


Thanks for reading............
