girl friend-no chance

“Hey bro, don’t you have a girl friend?” Fathulla asked looking at me.

We were out of tavels and discussing the rain. Suddenly when he asked me this, I was taken back.

He was still looking at me. I hesitated a little thinking what I should tell him. (Every Maldivian had –which I get to know later)Before I could decide what to say, he added, “You know, with the glamour of yours …”

He shouldn’t have said that.

“Yeah. I know it and so do you. But these girls, they don’t know it. Idiots!”

I was smiling when I said this.

He was smiling too. He knew he had company.
