Leo koi **psychopath** (a person suffering from abnormal or antisocial behavior) ya **deranged** (mad or insane) insaan nahi tha; woh toh bas Clara ke pyaar mein pagal tha. Use Paris ki sundar sadko par **perambulate** (walk through or around a place) karna aur nayi jagaho par **peregrinate** (travel or wander from place to place) karna bohot pasand tha. Leo purane music records ka bada shaukeen tha, bilkul un vintage vinyl **aficionados** (people who are very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about a hobby) ki tarah. Kisi zamane mein woh ladkiyo ke sath **philander** (readily enter into casual romantic relationships) karta tha, lekin yeh sab faltu **dalliance** (a casual romantic relationship) tab khatam ho gayi jab uski zindagi mein Clara aayi.

Unka pyaar ek grand **symphony** (an elaborate musical composition for a full orchestra) jaisa tha. Clara ko apne purane **turntable** (a revolving disk on which a record rests) par gaane sunna pasand tha. Clara ke aane se Leo ke past ki sabhi takleefon par **erasures** (the removal of writing or past memories) lag gaye, yaani sab purani yaadein mit gayin. Clara bohot **photogenic** (looking attractive in photographs) thi aur ek **picturesque** (visually attractive, especially in a charming way) cottage mein rehti thi. Woh ek scientist thi jo **photonics** (the science of light generation and detection) par kaam karti thi, jismein woh check karti thi ki ek biological **photoreceptor** (a structure reacting to light) kaise light par respond karta hai. Woh Leo ko **phytoremediation** (the use of plants to clean up polluted environments) aur **phytotoxic** (toxic to plants) chemicals ke baare mein bhi batati thi.

Leo ke dost pehle use mazaak mein **polygyny** (the practice of marrying multiple wives) ya kisi purane **paganism** (a religion other than the main world religions) ke culture ko follow karne ki salaah dete the, lekin Leo toh Clara ke pyaar mein tha. Woh use bade-bade **polysyllabic** (having more than three syllables) words wale love poems sunata tha.

Jab Clara beemar padi, toh Leo uski **recuperation** (recovery from illness) ke dauran uska sabse bada sahara bana. Jab Clara ek **convalescent** (a person recovering from an illness) ki tarah theek ho rahi thi, tab Leo ka caring **deportment** (a person's behavior or manners) dekh kar dono ke beech ek bohot pyara **rapport** (a close and harmonious relationship) ban gaya.

Apne **preparatory** (serving to prepare for something) proposal plans ke dauran, Leo yeh **presume** (suppose that something is true based on probability) kar raha tha ki Clara 'yes' kahegi. Woh cheezon ko jaldi mein **precipitate** (cause an event to happen suddenly) nahi karna chahta tha, aur na hi kisi darr se apni khushiyon ko **forestall** (prevent or obstruct by taking action ahead of time) karna chahta tha. Woh jaanta tha ki Clara ki ek **predisposition** (a natural tendency or attitude) thi shaant jagahon ke liye, jo unke future ke liye ek accha **presage** (a sign or warning of a future event) tha.

Leo ko aage ki kismat **prognosticate** (foretell or prophesy a future event) karne ke liye kisi baba ki zaroorat nahi thi; uska dil khud bohot **prescient** (having knowledge of events before they take place) tha. Uska pyaar koi **pseudolatry** (false worship or false devotion) nahi tha, balki bilkul sachha tha. Ek shaam, taaron ke neeche, Leo ne Clara ko ring pehnayi aur unki love story hamesha ke liye poori h

o gayi.
