As he showered he let the hot water hit his back, he closed his eyes and visioned how beautiful she`d look tonight, he took a deep breathe and tried to smell her scent but all he smelled was Irish spring, he felt his chiseled body and only wished it was hers. He smiled all alone in the shower realizing she truly is the love of his life. Picking out his clothing he became picky, he thought "would she like this color? Should i dress up for this occasion? But i shouldn't`t since she doesn't know of it" He decided to dress as he usually would but fixed his hair up better than usual and to pull out the old curve crush that she loved. He grabbed the ring, put it safely in his front pocket and headed to her house. He hit the highway and smiled, his face lit up knowing he was just that much closer to her. But his face changed as he parked in front of her building, he then thought "what if she says . . . no" he wondered if he would choose to leave her, cause he`d be sure that they weren't on the same page, he'd be sure that she didn't love him as he loved her. He jumped to the sound of another car honking its horn and realized it was 7 20. His heart felt as if it dropped 5 flights on an elevator as he approached her door and before he knew it his palms became sweaty. He rang the door bell and stared at his shoes as she opened the door. He raised his head and smiled. He walked in and took a deep breathe as he always did, he took in her scent of coach perfume, and it warmed his soul as always. He sat down and she sat across from him, she asked "So what did you want to talk about love?" . . "LOVE" the words stood out in his head and he stood silent for a moment, he then spoke "i don't want to make this a speech but i don't know exactly how to say this. . " her eyes began to water and she simply asked "is it over?" he answered in shock " Of coarse not ! Not at all !" . "Then what is it" she asked . He took out the ring and placed it on the table. "This is it" he simply said . His knees began to become weak and shake without his consent. His face began to burn though the A.C was on. The silence killed him. She then took the ring placed it on her ring finger and said "YES".

In the short story Shukumar seems to never have really paid much attention to things he had shared with Shoba, I think this because as he went through Shoba's cook book reading the dates he had ate certain dishes with her, he couldn't remember not one of them. He also seems very dependent on Shoba, i came to this conclusion when reading the part where he was looking for candles, he thought to himself how could Shoba not prepare for such an ordinary emergency? When he should have been asking himself why he didn't prepare for it. We learn that Shukumar was still very passionatly in love with Shoba, he took notice to little things about Shoba like the way her make-up looked when coming home and the way she curled her fingers when she sleeps. In the end of the story it is revealed that Shukumar held his dead son, he took notice to his black hair and weight, he saw how he curled his fingers in just the way Shoba did when she slept.

I feel this is by far one of the best short stories i've read, it showed great feeling and details, it made me want to keep reading. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone (i've already told my boyfriend to read it!)

My most missed memory

Daddy, i cant believe your gone. I cant believe just like that you were taken away from me. I remember being woken up the morning of your passing, June 8th of 2008, i thought i was being woken up for something bad i did, but it wasn't that at all. I walked into mommys room and noticed her eyes watery, she told me you passed away and immediatly i collapsed on her bed and burst into tears. I always held my tears back but this time i couldn't. I couldn't just ignore what mommy told me. She told me you were gone and that you were never coming back.I wish i couldve been more of a daughter to you . we didnt see each other much but the times we did, i was your little girl ; i was the daddys little girl i always wanted to be . i will forever hold the few memories we shared close to my heart . & never forget you . i hope your lookinq down at me, watchinq over me as i do my best to live the life you never did ; i want to make u proud though your not with me physically . Daddy if youve taught me anythinq in life, its that people shouldnt hold grudges ; i know that now and im mad cuz i realize this when your gone and im so sorry dad . im sorrie for thinkinq negative of u and being mad at you for all those times you stood me up daddy im sorrie for not goinq to see u when u were sick because i was too blind and selfish to see thru those promises u never kept . daddy i just wish u were here to hear my apoloqies and look back at me and tell me that its okay & that u understand . Daddy if i had one wish it would be to bring you back but for now ima just have to be patient and wait for the day you & i are reunited again . Save me a pretty spot in heaven, i love and miss you so much . . . more than anything.
