Subject: Saturday and Sunday

My dear girl,

You are right about the bank balance. The travel agency gave me a book to look at the formalities of getting a visa to S city. There it was written that I will have to produce a bank statement. But I thought not to tell you because I don't want you to spend so much money. Yes, yes, yes, I know, it is for our meeting, but still, there is a lot of money involved in your purse. I may be able to pay this back later in terms of money, but the feeling and thanks I will never be able to pay back. That is why I don't want to tell you. The money you sent last week got credited on Friday. I thought to make the bank statement first before using it for Visa.

This Saturday and Sunday are two waste days. Nothing can be done on these days!

If you still haven't sent the money, I would say don't send it. But if you have sent the money already. I want you to promise me that you will accept the money when I come there and meet you. Ok, I want this promise and this can't be broken under any circumstances, Promise?

Another problem is if I wait until your money gets credited I may be late for the ticket. On Monday I will get the no-objection certificate from my company. I am in confusion. To apply on Monday or wait for the money. Ojas hasn't come back here on the 24th. If he was here I could have asked him to credit come money to my account. You know if we go to Germany for three months from our company, at least 3000US$ can be saved after all the expenses. So he will be having money with him. Ojas's change in plan was a small setback for me. But he can't do anything, the company asked him to stay there.

Tomorrow is Sunday, I will come to the office to read your mail. I won't get emails from you from Thursday till Tuesday. I don't know...not in touch with you in such a situation...but ok, I will call you if anything important happens. This is the second time in our relationship we are staying out of touch for more than one day. Promise me to take care of yourself.

Our group has shifted to a new building here. So till Monday, my phone number XXX will not be available. If you want to contact me in any case, you can call XXX. That is also in my room. Form Monday onwards my phone will be alright.

I too don't want to miss the first day of the millennium. We must be together in each other's arms to welcome the new millennium. I will do anything for that. Challenges have always inspired me to give my best. This is a challenge and I will try all my best, for us. Love you very much...

Yours

Kamal
