"So , How are you dealing with your breakup ?", She asks and drinks her Coffee.The scent of caffeine tinged with Coldplay music reminds me of the Coffee shops I used to frequent. It's strange how places , songs and even fragrances can remind you of the person whom you're trying to forget.

I glance behind her. Degrees of honour in Psychology adorn the light blue wall. Her table is impeccable. There's a writing pad , a pen and a photograph of her husband.

" You still haven't answered my question", She says and looks at me. Dr Sarah Mathew, She was beautiful. Those eyes seemed to know the darkest desires of my heart. I felt safe and vulnerable at the same time.

" Well , What do you think ?", I ask her. She smiles and gets up from her chair and walks towards me. She stops in front me and waits for a moment , then leans over and whispers, "I think you're ready to move on". I turn my face and kiss her. She kisses me back.

I grab her by her shoulders and push her towards the glass table. She responds willingly. I kiss her neck and undress her. "I really missed this", She says. "Me too", I reply.

After some time I sit back in my chair. She rearranges the contents of her table and then leans back against her chair, smiles and says, "Well , this was fun".Her mobile rings. It was her husband. They talk for some time and she hangs up.

" I can't wait for your next session", She says flirtatiously. I smile back.
"If I ask something , Will you answer truthfully ?", I ask.
"Yeah", She says , surprised at my abrupt question.
"Do you love me ?", I ask.
"Yes", She says.
"Do you love your husband", I ask again.
"Yes", She says.
"Then why this ? Is it the thrill of a new affair or Is it the sex ?", I ask. "I...I don't know", She says." And you are a relationship expert ?", I tease her.

She was the vulnerable one this time. Her confidence was replaced by a sense of uncertainty and doubt. She couldn't meet my gaze. I stand up and walk towards her and hold her face in my hands and say, "I love you". "I love you too", She whispers. I hug her. She hugs me back.

That's the thing about love , you think that you finally understand it after falling in love , but you never really do , ever.
