THE DAY I COMMITTED TO A FUTURE, HEART DIVIDED

Hey Palak,

Guess what? It’s happening – I’m getting married to Pallabi. Yeah, our parents met and everything’s set.

But, oh boy, I’m freaking out a bit. You know, I’ve realised something kinda big. Pallabi, she loved me with everything she had. And me? I feel like I loved her with whatever was left of me after loving you. I’m not sure if that’s going to be enough, you know?

There wasn’t really another option. Her folks found out about our live-in situation, and they laid down the law: no marriage, no more Bangalore for Pallabi. And she loves Bangalore. I just had to step up, to save her from losing what she loves.

But the fear’s real. What if I mess this up and lose my best friend? Pallabi always says we’re great as friends, but as a couple? Not so much. How could we be, when my heart’s not fully in it?

I wish I could talk to you, hug you and cry.

With love, hugs and other things,
P
