Subject: planning...

My lovely lover,

This week I will check with a travel agency the schedule and charges to fly to S city. But before that, I have to check whether I can get the leaves. And finally, I have to apply for Visa. And as I have said, I have to raise the money needed. I know you are ready to finance the charge, but still, at first I should pay, right? I wish I had met you earlier or we had planned about meeting some more months back. That would have given me enough money to buy the tickets.

You are absolutely right, money should not come between us. It has always been a problem among couples. I am very well aware of that. And so I too am very careful not to let that affect us. You are my sweetheart. I want to give you everything, not to take from you except love. But I know that it is not practical. I have to ask for your help. Money doesn't mean too much to me too. If I was after money, I could have had a good bank balance by now, one year. But I had given the major portion to my family, to my parents and my brother and sister. I bought a car for them. (I don't have a driver's license, I had never had enough tie to try our car. I am fascinated by bikes, so I bought a bike too, all this in one year and now you know where all my salary went!)

And when we live together, I will earn for you too. It won't be my earning, it will be our earning.

Aaahh!!! Just now good news has come in for us. To the third country from here, it is 14,000 Rs (round trip). This is much amount I can find anyway. This Indian Airlines. The flight will take around 4 hours. I wish Indian Airlines had a flight to S city. I don't, will check out soon. Yeeeeeaaa, I feel like jumping all around here. How far is S'pore from S city? My friend says it will be very expensive to live in S'pore. So if there is no direct flight from here to S city, we have to think of the S'pore S city trip. Will you please check it out? S city and S'pore is in the same time zone. So it will not be much of a distance, I feel. Please check all the possibilities for us, OK?

Still, I can't believe, we are so close to meeting each other! I am going to see you blushing in my arms. We will act out every fantasy and dream we had. You made me blush a little, hmmm...count this too, I am not going to forgive you. You will be punished. You standing only with my shirt! You made me excited again!

Well, this is your time at 8:30. Today also I couldn't write to you early, because my project was under audit. It took the whole day. So I didn't get time early. If I delay this again, you may not be able to read it today. And we have a lot of plans. So bye for now...

Yours always

Kamal
