Romila wondered what was Savio doing which made him take so much time. And then he appeared. With a food tray nicely decorated and a champagne bottle.

The food was neatly dressed on the plate not even one inch extra.

And to top it all, there where various kinds of candles.

Romila was very impressed. She never assumed Savio to be so romantic and attentive. "Here Madame! Your food and Champagne!" said Savio.

Romila laughed. They both sat on the sofa and placed the food tray near them. Savio served Romila as well as for himself. He asked, "So Romila, where do you live in Canada?"

Romila said, "I live in Toronto."

"Oh that's nice. And what do you do there?" "I am a journalist. I work for Toronto press Indian column. Oh yeah, that reminds me, I have to do a case study on a person who has newly shifted to India. And what changes does he feel..and everything about him. I heard you are from Washington? You could help me in my case study you see I really want to know where had you been and what do you do for your living and.."

Suddenly Savio's champagne glass slipped out of his hand was on the floor. That made Romila chaotic. "Did you hurt youself? Are you okay?" asked Romila

"Yeah I am fine. I don't know how did this slip. Anyway can you bring a mop. I'll wipe it." said Savio.

"Oh no no. I will do this later. Don't worry about this. And I guess your phone is ringing." said Romila.

"Oh its personal. Have to go. See you later. I am really sorry for this mess." said Savio.

"Its okay. Call me later." asked Romila. She accompanied Savio to the door. He gave a peck on her forehead and left.

Romila couldn't believe what happened! She strode dancingly while picking up the broken glass pieces. One of them even hurt her. But she didn't mind.
