"Come on in." I said as seriously as I could. My strategy was to never let her take control of the conversation.
She followed me inside, where breakfast was already laid.
"Let's talk over breakfast then. Before you say anything, I want to talk about a very serious matter."
Suddenly, I was taken aback when she pulled out a revolver from one of the pockets of the jacket and pointed right at me. As always, my strategies always failed. It seemed that I would no longer be in control of the conversation.
"Don't say a word, just nod," she barked.
I nodded my head and said, "Have you lost your mind?"
She pulled the trigger at the same moment and the bullet missed my temple only by inches I suppose. I knew she was serious.
"Not a word!" was her accompanying statement with the gunshot.
Now I was worried. She had really lost her mind this time, I thought.
"So you want to break-up with me?" I nodded displaying a yes.
"And you know my commitment has never been less for you."
While I started to nod again for yes, she said, "If your answer is yes for this question then you are dead!"
And not realising that truth could be so fatal, I did say yes.
BANG!
Yes a gunshot was heard after I had nodded for a yes. It would have been heard by the neighbours atleast. But, what had to be done was done. I guess it was no one's mistake.
She cried in pain as the bullet had struck her leg. This had saved me from being shot by one of her bullets. I immediately called the police as well as the ambulance. I knew what I had to say to the police as soon as I saw her face in pain. She kept crying in pain. I couldn't see the scene. No more.
It was my Mauser which had saved me today, which was lynig in my drawing room drawer. Yesterday only I had told the girl with whom I had dinner at my appartment that the Mauser existed. And she had saved me in time. Or was it just a great coincidence that I happened to tell her about the gun in time. All's well that ends well I suppose.
