That made things easy for us. I had a nice morning session with Jaya. Jaya had to go out for some bank and passport work. She lef the house saying she...will be back in the evening. I was preparing my self to go to the office, planning for the evening to be spent with Jaya. The door bell rang. I opened the door guesing who it will be? It was Sudha (Jaya’s daughter). Sudha is 19 and doing her engineering in Bangalore. It was a surprise to me as neither myself or Jaya know that Sudha would be. But a few things caused me to reread it several more times. There was the obvious appeal of an ad with sexual overtones placed by an older woman seeking a younger military guy; but what struck a nerve with me was the phrasing "who has a breast fetish and is willing to follow directives". What exactly did this mean? What was she driving at? What did she hope to get out of this? I couldn't stop thinking about it. I decided to answer the ad. I sent this carefully crafted response: Hello! My name. Michael could tell that she was not happy with his decision to accompany them to the zoo. If looks could kill, he would be a dead man standing. ‘Is Ryan asleep?’ ‘Yes, she zonked out on me ten minutes into the movie?’ He looked over at his daughter asleep on the couch. ‘I can put her to bed if you want.’ ‘Second door on the left,’ she replied without as much as a glance in his direction. Isla needed space. She was ready to throw something she was so mad. Michael had invaded her space and she. "Maybe you will," my wife slyly replies.But like the little cock teases they are, their conversation moves on again and I am again lost in the thick of the meaningless meanderings of longtime friends talking about everybody they've known in the past. We finish eating our lunch and I pay for all three of us. Not out of any chivalrous sense, but because it is easier than splitting the bill. Linda is effusive with her thanks, giving Larisa a kiss on the cheek and giving me a big hug where I swear.
