The answer

The door of repentance is open until the Hour (Day of Judgment) is established. The questioner must repent, regret his sins, and resolve not to return to them. If his repentance is sincere, then Allah will accept it and pardon his misdeeds, and he will become as one who has not sinned. He must completely sever his relationship with the girl and not communicate with her.
