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

354: Can friends become 'too' protective?


It was just a debate. Could friends become possessive enough to exclude any other...including a mate from infringing on their domain? It was cute to see how friends turned aggressive and a bit overprotective...goin to the extent of making sure that K's not alone with me...but is suitably chaperoned...! Or, when one churlishly refuses a drink claiming that he drinks ONLY in the company of his friends...:)

Seen this plight happen with a friend of mine who got married to his love. The papa was so possessive and protective that he used to plonk himself right in between the couple at every occasion he was around...to the extent of sitting between them even at a movie the whole family had gone out to watch!! Took a while for the papa to reconcile himself to just a papa's role, thanks to the discreet nudgings of the mama. :))

Guess that acceptance takes time...and that the current attitude is just a reflection of their deep-seated friendship with K. Probably, it's that they are still unaware of the intensity of the relationship that K and I share...:) And that she's certainly past the "checking-him-out" phase! Guys, we are in love!

P.S. The picture posted above is dedicated to "H" for his affection and real concern for his cute lil' friend, K
