I had gone to boarding school in Singapore in the late 90’s. I was there for 4 years in total from 9th-12th grade. Since it was a boarding school there were people from all over the world literally. From Swaziland to Norway and Japan to Sri Lanka. The girl who is the centre of this story was an Indian girl called Aditi. She was there only for the last 2 years I was there. I remember it was a daily thing for me to try to hang out with her … get her small stuff when ever she wanted …. but I never got a chance to go past a few kisses.
Fast forward 20 yrs were are all in our late 30’s now and I was visiting Mumbai for work and was going through my FB on the plane over. I already had her as a friend and dropped her a message saying I’d be in her city for a couple days and it would be fun meeting up some time. She replied surprisingly and suggested we meet for a drink the next evening at my hotel bar.
