Last Dinner//Romantic Stories

That evening, Emir had arrived first and booked a table at his favorite restaurant.
Mila followed later because extra work at the office made her come home late.

After almost an hour of Emir waiting, Mila finally came. On the table, there was a plate of rice, a portion of roast duck, and a plate of spaghettie"You ordered it for me?" Mila asked.

"Yeah, you always say you like the roast duck at this restaurant, right?" Emir answered. "You always remember it well," replied Mila again, smiling. Emir didn't say much after that.

They both seemed to enjoy the dish. In the middle of that evening's event, Emir reached into his trouser pocket. He had prepared a box of gold rings which he would give to propose to his lover. However, before Emir had time to actually take out the ring, Mila interrupted him first.

"Emir, sorry," said Mila. "Sorry, why? What are you doing?" Emir asked in surprise. "About Mother. She doesn't approve of us," said Mila. He failed to show the ring box that Emir had been holding under the table to Mila. "Why? We have been together for a long time and love each other.

Our income is also good enough to be able to start a family!" said Emir who couldn't hide his disappointment. "That's not it! You already know, that's not our problem!" Mila answered while looking into Emir's eyes full of sadness. "I know you will be a good husband," continued Mila.

"However, after all, you cannot be my priest while your hand is still holding the rosary." Emir was silent, the spaghetti he had not finished eating was left to cool. With tears in her eyes, Mila apologized and asked Emir to forget her.
That night was their last night. Emir was still silent when Mila left the table.

The beautiful restaurant building is a silent witness to two souls who love each other but cannot be united.
