Lena gazed through the window of the faintly lit eatery, watching the raindrops streak down the glass. It had been their place for a really long time — where they had their most memorable date, celebrated commemorations, and shared innumerable feasts. Be that as it may, this evening, it felt unique. She felt the strain in her stomach and realized it wasn't simply from the contention they had the previous evening. It was something more profound, something that had been working for quite a long time.

Tom showed up, his hair moist from the downpour, and gave her a drained grin. He plunked down opposite her and went after her hand, however she pulled back, catching her hands together on the table all things being equal.

"Hello," he said delicately, attempting to grab her attention.

"Hello," she answered, her voice scarcely over a murmur. She took a full breath, understanding what she needed to do. "Tom, we want to talk."

He murmured, peering down at the menu, however he knew it inside and out. "I figured. Is this about the previous evening?"

Lena shook her head. "It's not just about the previous evening. It's tied in with everything. Us. Our relationship."

Tom's eyes met hers, and she saw the exhaustion in them. "Your meaning could be a little clearer."

Lena felt a sense of foreboding deep in her soul, however she constrained herself to talk. "We've been floating separated for quite a while, Tom. We scarcely talk any longer, and when we do, it's simply casual discussion or contentions. I don't feel similar association we used to have."

Tom's forehead wrinkled. "We've both been occupied, Lena. Work has been insane, and you've had a great deal continuing as well. It's simply a difficult time. We'll traverse it."

She shook her head once more, more immovably this time. "It's more than that. I feel like we've become various individuals, and we're not becoming together any longer. We're becoming separated."

He gazed at her, a combination of disarray and harmed in his eyes. "Anyway, what are you talking about? You need to separate?"

Tears gushed in Lena's eyes. "I believe it's ideal for the two of us. We should be blissful, Tom. Furthermore, I don't figure we can be glad any longer."

Tom's face solidified, and he turned away, his jaw gripped. "I can't trust this. After all that we've experienced, you're simply surrendering?"

"There's actually no need to focus on surrendering," Lena said, her voice shaking. "About remembering we're not similar individuals we were the point at which we began this relationship. We've changed, and that is completely fine. In any case, attempting to compel something done working is simply going to hurt us more."

Tom was quiet briefly, and Lena looked as he battled to track down the right words. At last, he talked, his voice calm. "I would rather not lose you, Lena. You're my closest companion."

She arrived at across the table, intertwining his hand with hers. "You'll constantly mean a lot to me, Tom. Be that as it may, in some cases, giving up is the most ideal way to clutch the great recollections."

They sat peacefully, the murmur of the eatery around them feeling far off and strange. Lena recollected the start of their relationship — the chuckling, the undertakings, the late-night talks. It had been wonderful, yet incidentally, they had lost that flash.

"I don't have the foggiest idea what I will manage without you," Tom said, his voice breaking.

"You'll be OK," Lena murmured, crushing his hand. "Thus will I. We both need to find ourselves once more, without attempting to squeeze into a relationship that is done working."

They completed their dinner peacefully, each lost in their own contemplations. At the point when the check came, Tom demanded paying, and Lena didn't contend. It seemed like a little token of conclusion, a last venture of care.

As they left the café, the downpour had quit, leaving the roads flickering under the streetlamps. They remained on the walkway, confronting one another, the heaviness of their choice hanging intensely between them.

"I'll continuously love the time we had," Lena said delicately.

"Me as well," Tom answered, his eyes loaded up with tears. "Farewell, Lena."

"Farewell, Tom."

They embraced one final time, a mixed hug that held long stretches of recollections. Then they turned and strolled in inverse headings, each moving toward a fresh start.

As Lena headed back home, she felt a combination of bitterness and help. It was the conclusion of a significant time period, yet in addition the beginning of a genuinely new thing. She realized it would be hard, however she was prepared to confront the future, slowly but surely.
