Mark This Day
I always wondered when the day would come when my mom would set me up with some random Indian boy with the hopes of us hitting it off.
More importantly, I've dreaded the thought.
But lately, I haven't been very worried about it cos I thought my drunken begging last January bought me some time.
Well, I was wrong.
Mark this day: July 16, 2007
My mom just called me at the office and asked me when I was leaving for India. Then started talking about some boy who's in town until Sunday.
I didn't pa get it at first eh.
I was like, 'Uh, ok....' Thought bubble ko, for whom...? Surely not for me...?
Shungakers.
She wants me to just meet him daw *cringe*.
Of course I agreed but only after throwing up in my mouth. How could I say no to my mom naman diba?
But that's not even the best part.
The best part is that he's from Accra.
Bet you can't guess where Accra is.
West Africa, pare. Not even South Africa ha. WEST AFRICA.
Lord.
He just tried to call me but was in the banyo. Thank god I had to pee.
Cut to another phone call from my mom. He tried to call me daw, why am I not picking up.
Friggin' Gestapo ito ha.
Sabay text siya, "Hi Bhavna I'm bleh bleh bleh. Please give me a call at bleh bleh bleh."
I'm gonna call HIM? I don't think so.
Time to flex my bitch muscles. Tutal, I already have experience scaring Indian boys off. Might as well put it to good use. Mwahahah.
I still can't believe this is happening though. Very surreal.
I already made plans with sina Mai na whatever night this week I meet Mr. Accra, we're going out for drinks after so I can purge myself of the experience.
Why can't people just leave me alone? Does the thought of a single and somewhat independent woman scare them THAT much?
