The first meeting

It was December 2018, I was pretty busy with my life, living in the city running errands and coping with my exams..

And having a normal long distance relationship with Valte, so I planned on going back to my hometown which is located in Northeast India, Manipur. while my boyfriend was still in Kolkata. we plan on our first meeting.

After the exam's done, I booked my ticket and went home.. It was customary for us folk to reunite with our family during the winter break and spend Christmas and New year.

I used to post some contradictory stories and political issues which prevails in our society and it somehow got forwarded in several WhatsApp groups and all..

I received a text messages from unknown person, that he appreciates my post and that he want to meet me and had a talk with me over a cup of coffee.

I replied instantly, judging from his text, I sense that he was well educated and I could discuss my upcoming dissertation with him.

I told my boyfriend that I was going to meet an acquaintance from our hometown and had a talk with him about my upcoming research. He didn't argue or say much so I think he approve me...

After the church programme of 22/12/18, we planned to meet with the unknown person, it was night and he picked us up, He was slightly tall, and stout with a deep eyes and in his late 30s. At first I don't know it was him, cause I don't expect he had a car, and so I was looking for a man with a bike or the likes.

I'm tagging my best friend Kate. And we go to a nearby local restaurant, placed our order.

And introduce with the formalities and all..

He told me he was from the Hangzo clan and I told him I was from Hauzel clan. And I address him so.

I had with me 'The crusade of Europe' a gift from my boyfriend. We discussed about the book for awhile about king James and Constantinople.

Kate got a call from her dad and she left us leaving both of us.

So we talk and talk, about our local politics and feminism.

The conversation was really deep and we're lost on our talk. I can see that he was really amazed to see a girl my age who have interest to such a bold subject.

And I'm amazed with his life experience and knowledge. Soon it was 10:30 pm and my mom called me several times.

I excuse myself to go home, as it was late for young girls to hang out, late at night.. He insisted on dropping me. He did, and when we reached my house, my parents and siblings were having a conversation by the fireplace and we join them.

We had a warm night and so on, he left late in the night. It was an amazing night with him.
