Subject: age?

Dear,

The moment I wrote that, you had 8 years' time to decide the course of your life, I knew that you will misunderstand it. But there was no other way to write it. I didn't mean that your age is a factor in our relationship. What I wanted to tell was I am slow because I am not used to taking major decisions in life. That is because I was always with my parents till 2 years back. Don't think of our age difference as a factor between us. It may be a factor for our relatives and friends, but for us, we have known and accepted it. It may become a factor in our future, (let this not happen) maybe after 10 years, but not now. This age difference should not become a problem in our communication. From the very beginning of our relationship, I have always treated like a girl of my own age and I want to get the same treatment from you. If you want to ask me something you should never think about my age. I have my dreams and so have you. To achieve them together should be our aim.

You asked me if there is anything that I don't want you to talk about. I never felt bored while talking to you. Your work, your colleagues, films, your Buddha, everything was interesting to me. Really. And the other important thing is if I am not interested in what you talk about, you may also feel uncomfortable. I don't want that too. But when you talk about our age difference can all, we both feel uncomfortable, right? We may have to face the issue later, but let us not talk about it now.

The night we drunk, you asked me specifically, about my feelings. And I felt that we were close enough to tell you frankly. So I told some things and you cried. But in a way that was good, we both showed and cleared our minds. I think that this might be a reason why we became happy during the last few days. You asked me how I can love a person at the first meeting. My answer was that I had an image of you, not your appearance, but your mind and your feelings. So I didn't feel strange to you.

Ok, enough of this. Now we both know each other in reality. We can give shape to our fantasies now. And I want to tell you again, that I want you to be with me.

I have got a fever now. My throat is itching. Maybe the start of a regular cold. I don't feel so well. Ah, I forgot to tell about the bike accident. I didn't fall down. I hit the car and stopped and had a small exchange of words with the driver, that is all. My bike lost a piece of the front mudguard.

You didn't give me your account number and bank name. Do it soon, ok?

Love

Kamal
