361: M is green with J

Everything’s green. Or in various shades of green. A green spark was lit when she mentioned she had spent the evening with her latest crush! Didn’t help matters that she was in the company of a few other friends too. And…when she mentioned that he was “too good for her”, the green volcano of jealousy erupted in thick waves of sarcasm and illogical thoughts. M is Jealous. He knows it isn’t a “crush” that should make him feel “crushed”…but the term crush itself is devastating for him. He just couldn’t take it that K could be interested in another guy. She assured M that the crush is just an eye-candy. That made matters worse!! Then she reminded him that he was behaving like a typical green Indian boyfriend. And for good measure, told him that she ain’t his property! He festered and fumed…virtual green smoke seeping out of the chat window. In his view, a crush is something serious…coz he himself was K’s crush until just a while ago. In her view, this ain’t that crush, but just a 3-in-a-week crush that she usually has! Spent the entire evening in the blues… And, she was in tears. How could M be so insensitive?

Today, am in New Delhi for a meeting, though all my thoughts are back there. She ain’t reachable on the mobile. It says…congestion in network. Drat! She can get thru…but I can’t. What to do? She said if I really want to talk to her, then I’ll somehow get thru. And, me the juvenile, tries exactly that…dialing her number from midnight to 4 am. Gave up, showered, dressed and rushed to the airport to catch the early morning flight back to Bhopal.
