She had never met him before so she hated her prospective
groom with a passion. It was a hatred equivalent to the love she felt for
Anupam, the love of her life, stolen away by antiquated traditions that valued
security over love.
Thinking about her mystery groom always led her to thinking
about Anupam. Handsome, intelligent, graceful, Anupam brought to life her idea
of the perfect man, a man she could live the rest of her life with. And the
moment she came to that conclusion was when, in their Quantum Physics 101, he
detailed in his cigarette-hoarsened voice exactly the terrible mistake Albert
Einstein made in 1933. He won not just the day but, more importantly, her soul.
With Max Planck in her brain and Anupam in her heart, the
next ten months were the happiest in her life. Days spent arguing the merits of
the Higgs boson were punctuated by nights of tea gone cold and forgotten in the
heat of the night.
And then came her mother, with a pronouncement as dire as
death calling.
