I know this guy from a friend who was working in one of the telcos. It was a very casual chat, a hi here and a bye there. I as usual, do take whatever people say without questioning, there is no reason for questioning as it does not matter to me what your life is about.
Anyway, one evening after movie with KA and Vasu, we were having dinner and Vasu asked KA how come she is not married. I turned and looked at KA and there was this moment of bright light bulb flashing in my head. Why not introduce this guy to KA. They both have the same faith, age is more or less the same, why not?
I went on immediately on the introducing process, this was before end of last year. Arranged a meeting when both can make it but alas at the last moment, KA couldn't come, thus I ended up meeting Telco Guy and chatting with him. He was telling me his story, I just listened, I didn't ask for further details. Anyway, our chats were a usual good morning and how are you. I was keeping the communication open as I was looking for suitable time to get KA and Telco Guy to meet.
About mid of February, one lonely night (I am just creating drama here) Telco Guy texted me at the middle of the night, asked what I was doing. He started talking about being lonely and etc. and that was when he made an indecent proposal. He asked if I want to be in a relationship with him, a relationship where it consist of hugs and kisses.... I was flabbergasted, first of all, I am trying to pair him up with my KA and this was so not right, it felt like I was betraying my friend. I immediately told KA what was happening, we laughed, I kept telling her I did not flirt with Telco Guy, I was trying so much promoting KA to him. She between laughter said she knows me well and I don't even have to explain anything to her. Anyway back to Telco Guy, I told him am not looking for that kind of a relationship, am open for a relationship, a relationship that I don't have to hide. And what I am looking for in a relationship is a partner who shares his life with me, not to hide about me. I don't need to announce my relationship to the whole world but at least I don't have to hide it from my friends... Well, why am I giving such a long explanation here? Because, after me telling him this, telco guy just disappeared. No more morning messages, no more phone calls, it was total silence. Of course KA and I had a good laugh about it.
Two days back, telco guy emerged. Sent me a good morning message. I asked KA what shall we do now? I was just curious to know why did he disappear. Yesterday evening he called, asked if can meet, I said yes. I need to get my answer...I am just a curious cat, am guilty as charged.
He started the conversation by saying his granny passed away the morning after he chatted with me and he was completely devastated. I just listened. He was talking and talking about his granny's passing and also his cousin's passing. He said he went off to India (Ooty) for 2 weeks to find peace as he was totally going bonkers. I just listened. I only said I am sorry for his loss. I didn't ask why he kept silent, he could have just replied my message telling me his situation. He blurted out saying he miss his son. Now that was something new to me. I just kind of woke up! He told me much earlier on of his divorce....and that he has never been with a girl, ever! Well, Telco Guy was married twice and divorced twice and has a 2.5 year old son.
I went back home and told KA about this. She asked what was my conclusion about this..I had a few, first, Telco Guy is a write off. I don't entertain people who lie, he could have just said he has a son and he is divorced. Nothing wrong in that, he lied saying he has never been with a girl! Secondly, I need to do more digging before I introduce someone to someone. I am dumb to think people are genuine, I don't question people when they say things about themselves. I noticed that I question alot when it comes to work or anything theory etc but not when it comes to people and their selves. Third conclusion, I am not into indecent proposals!
