Chennai

The last night of the Crusade, her purse was stolen. It was taken and
in it were her passport, her plane ticket, money and various forms of
ID. I found out, and when I could I came down to see her. We then
had to go to Chennai to the US Consulate to apply for a new passport.
Since she didn't have any ID, well she had one ID from her college,
they thought if I went as a US citizen, it would be better. So we
decided to go to Chennai together. No one seemed to mind, and I asked
the pastor she was staying with, whether he wanted to send a chaperone
with us. He declined. So we went off to Chennai, and by the time the
work was done there, and we applied for the passport, I started
running a fever. The passport would come in about a week or so, so
there was nothing to do in Chennai. but I was sick many times in
India, and we were afraid that perhaps this was another sickness. I
wanted to drop her off in Bangalore, and then go to Hyderabad myself.
But since I was sick, she didn't want me to do all that travel. So we
left to Hyderabad, straight from Chennai. By the time we reached
Hyderabad, my parents, ,who were looking for me, had called so many
people they found out we had left to Hyderabad. Needless to say,
there were not at all pleased. Then they started destroying her
reputation. They called her pastor and her friends and told everyone
what she had done. She was supposed to be on a mission's trip and yet
she did this. I must say we did not sin, we did not have sex. We
read the Bible and prayed and we had fun, we went through Hyderabad,
and enjoyed each other's company. It was actually a relief that my
parents knew. I thought that it would be the best thing, ,and that
they would be forced to accept the relationship.
