A sudden visit

'K' called me yesterday evening telling that she is coming to KL. I wasn't quite surprised because shee had told me that she intend to come a few weeks ago. I sensed that trouble is in the air. And I sensed right. It is big trouble. When you can travel overnight from JB to KL just for a chat, it has to be a biggie, right?

After we met at the lobby of M&O, clearly, from the look on her face, she's in trouble. Well apart from being a bit chubby than before, this girl has transformed herself into a strikingly attractive young lady. The last I've seen her, she bears the look of a young schoolgirl eventho at the age of 22. Well, that's almost 5 years ago. Interesting how people change.

We went for dinner at this Italian joint. Then she talked.

"I'm in love with someone's husband."

I was taken aback. Seriously. I have that feeling of a schoolboy who was told by his teacher that he had failed his exam. My mind was scrambling to find the meaning of her words. I thought, she's gotta be joking. But she wasn't.

To make long story short, she's in love with the guy and vice versa, the wife knows and doesn't approve, she wants to marry him, but after a lot of thinking, he decided to quit. Hmm..kinda typical, ain't it? Now, she's blaming the whole population of male for being selfish. Well, she does have a history with selfish men. I don't blame her for thinking that. The intriguing thing is, many a times woman of her age will try to find a partner who already tied the knot with another woman. I dont mean all women but, some. Why? Is the population of men of the same age or a few years older is not good enough or rather somehow doesn't fit the bill? What do they want actually? And what is this thing bout infidelity and turning down the poor girl just like that? Maybe I'll delve into that soon. Guys, waddya think? No, I'm not doctor Phil...
