Herein is an unfolding tale of a young woman ‘K’ and a not-so-young man ‘M’ who are falling in love with each other. They know the past, they are living the present, but they don’t know what’s in store for them in the future. They’ve given each other a period of 1 year to overcome the odds, not just external…but also come to terms with their own internal contradictions, and tie the knot if the love is strong enough. The 365-day countdown has begun... K & M

348: Getting too possessive


K was concerned that I was upset last night…and yes, I was quite upset until her missed calls started piling up. Made up with her…in less than a couple of minutes. I was missing her too badly, anyway…and just needed a fig-leaf to cover the embarrassment. And K, with her lovely voice, melted away all the misgivings of y’day night. Was in the office all day…attending to a pile of accumulated files…and talking to K whenever possible.

My Bangalore friend wants money again. Seems the credit card company has sent her a legal notice to pay up. She wants me to loan it…a “long term” loan, she says. She could also pay in kind, she says…with a wink! For the first time, I told a person to just F*** O** and that I am not in the business of money-lending. Felt bad for her, but I can’t be an eternal lender. She has to manage her own finances…or live within her means. If I bail her out now, she’ll again spend recklessly…and come back for money in no time. Hope she manages somehow.

Talked to K in the evening a coupe of times. She was in such a nice mood today. Everything was hunky-dory until we met online again at 11 pm. This time, a different reason. I could have handled the situation in a better manner, but the idiot I am, spoilt things again by acting the quintessential possessed lover! She was very upset…and wished she were not in love… at least so that I won’t be so possessive of her. Thankfully, we patched up again… before we hit the sack!
