Met VK today yesterday. She did not have a lot of time but whatever little we had, it was enough. After all no trip to Delhi is complete without meeting her. Plus, she is probably the only person who I can meet all the time and not get bored of. AND I don’t get depressed or sad or anxious when she has to leave.
To be honest, yesterday, I was more than happy to see her go because she forced me to eat a Subway. Yuk! Let me put this on record. For the last time. I do NOT like Subway. I don’t hate it per se. But I just don’t like it. Hope you get the difference. Especially VG. Reading this? Thing is, its just too messy to eat and its exorbitantly expensive and it doesn’t taste all that good either.
Anyhow, coming back. So we had very little time and after we were done with gossip, we came back to issues with her life. And issues with my life. Of course all those things are off the record. For the record however is her opinion on the colorful (or colorless, depending on how you look at it) life of sgMS and me.
So, she said something funny. She said that if there are 10 steps required to “get over it,” I am on the 8th.
Even though I take her word more seriously than I take even my mom’s, I don’t agree to this one. How could I be on the 8th step? When sgMS is my life? Am I just 2 steps away from dying? Of course not. I have at least 49 more books to publish, a WSOP bracelet to win, 180+ countries left to travel to (nah, no space or planets or stars for me) and… and… get married and settled down with… you know who. I just cant die.
But then, VK cant be wrong. She normally isn’t. And she knows the context. She knows the characters. In fact VK has actually been the only anchor, the only support throughout the relationship adventurous ride. She is probably the only person who knows it all about sgMS. I mean Neo also doesn’t know as much about sgMS. VK also said something on the lines that is she’s known about me and her for years now and this is the closet I am to letting her go.
So I don’t know where I stand. But I do know that if she’s correct and I am wrong and I am indeed on the 8th step, it would suck. Suck like crazy. So crazy that I’d rather stay stuck at step 8 if I cant retrace it to step 0. After all, she is sgMS. sg + MS. The two have to be together. They just don’t sound right away from each other.
They don’t. They can’t.
