My first jurisdiction was the West Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya. One day as I was in my office, I had a lady visitor (I was informed that she was a well known doctor).No sooner had she entered the room than I realised that she was Ruth! I thought that it was just my imagination then I rubbed my eyes that I was sure that it was a reality. The moment I had been eagerly waiting for throughout my life. "But was she married?"I feared. She recognised me too.Then, we went to a restaurant, enquiring about each other's life. After a few minutes of conversation, I brought up the topic of the day she left Shillong for Mumbai . I told her how I had been suffering because of my love for her since that day.I told her that I still loved her even though she might already have a life partner. She asked me, "How are your children? " Then I replied, "I haven't got married. I cannot love any other girl but you. " Tears rolled down from her eyes, and she said, "I'm very sorry, please forgive me. I am sorry for keeping you hurting for all these years".
