Broken Promises

'Till death do us part..'
'For better for worse..'

Today is just a day for breaking promises. Both of the above were officially broken today in a very calm and composed manner...no visible hesitations, atleast not on his part anyway.

I was guilty of breaking a promise too today. I promised previously not to cry anymore over the matter but I failed miserably. I tried my best to keep up a straight face in the courtroom but when the judge asked me whether I agree to go ahead with the proceedings, I crumbled. I don't understand why they need to ask me the same question again and again when the power to decide was never mine. Had I actually disagree, what difference would it make? Would they halt the proceedings? I don't think so.. Then why bother asking?

Surprisingly, I'm feeling much better now. As sad as it was, I'm now relieved that it's over and that the huge burden on my shoulder has finally been lifted. I can now move on at my own pace. I wish I don't have to go back there ever again but I was asked to revisit in a month's time (which is going to be on my birthday) to collect the final report. What a 'great' birthday gift eh? :)
