Catching UP!

I know it has been a very long time. I was busy I think. Or may be not, I was just not in the mood. Here I am. I have loads to write about. Many significant and not so significant things have happened. Let me begin where I left. As planned I left for Seattle on Jan 6. The planning and shopping was very cool. J took me shopping. I bought some cool stuff. That was fun.I also got my haircut. I dint intend to make it any shorter but thats how it turned out. But I think it looked alright.Sid teased me real bad over the phone when I told him.Finally the day came. My flight was at 7. I left home at 1:30 as I had to take the Greyhound to Chicago and the only bus was at 2:40. And I was extremely mad at Sid. He had not called all morning that day.And I was fuming. I expected him to check with me if I had taken everything. But no. That didnt happen. Finally he calls me at 2:00 p.m. I let him know that I am mad. He had some excuse that he was busy or something like that. Maybe he was busy.

Anyways I was feeling a strange kind of nervousness. It was not like I am meeting him for the first time. Anyways I got to the airport on time. And Sid made sure he checked on me regularly. And the flight was delayed by more than an hour. It was a 4.5 hr journey. I read for an hour, I slept for a couple of hours and I cried for for close to an hour. I was by the window looking out to a clear sky with stars everywhere and I couldnt help but cry. Cried for all things I wanted and will never have, Cried for all things that could have happened and never did. It was good thing it was the middle of the night and everyone next to me was asleep and I was with my face towards the window. I was a very peaceful experience, just me, the sky and the stars.

Finally my plane landed. I didnt know what to expect. He was to meet me at the Baggage claim but it was a big airport. I called him and was trying to look for him. And he was right behind me. I got a big hug. And he liked my hair. I could see that he like it. That felt real good. I let him carry all my stuff. We got into his car. He asked me if he is to give me the kiss he owed. And I said ofcourse not.

Anyways it was a nice ride home. He had gotten samosas for me. I had one and we retired for the night. I couldnt sleep, he dozed off. I was tossing and turning. Tried to read, tried all sorts of things. Finally I slept at 6 a.m. And then he made me tea in the morning, he had also made tapioca for me. Introduced me to his roommate. He was a pretty good guy too. And then I dressed and all was good. But what was I thinking, could I be happy for long. NO.

I will continue in a few hours .......
