Have you ever thought of feeling your bed? I know no one does that unless you know for sure you wont sleep on that bed again. Trust me its nice, try it? just dont get erotic. It reminded me of all the other things I did on it :-) your guess.
I went strait to the kitchen, I usually dont do that. I brush my teeth first. When I came here we had 3 fridges, the smallest one dint work so no one used it. Then some day it began working, some one should have repaired it. I was the first one to use, being so small Chrles,Moo and Zoo never bothered to use it. So I had my own fridge. Chrles, Moo, Zoo and Zayed where my flat mate. Zayed was the invisible guy.
Damn, there is nothing to eat. I mean I did have some noodles but whose gonna coock today? So! no breakfast.
My original plan for day was to visit a distant waterfall. Nithya happened to be there couple of times and Sandhya knew this, She happened to be there too but after Nithya. Sandhya is our Day Out analyst. One of my cousin brother happens to be like her. Another common cousin of ours told me it seems this cousin of mine mugged up the whole bus route of Kolkata. Which means you be any where you want within the city, call him and tell him where you want to go. He will tell you which public bus to take. Impressive use of human memory!!! And with Sandhya, just tell her where you are thinking of visiting and she will tell you how nice trip it was when she visited,
Lunch was quick, basically dint have much things in the fridge after Subir Roy stole every thing. Ask him he would say I gave away every thing, ask me, I would say he stole my last lunch :-)
By the time I finished my lunch and saw the first half of Forrest Gump it was already 3 pm. Time to complete my house which I planned to gift the most beautiful Chinese girl I have ever met in ..Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, .. basically in my small living world.
The first ten days of making the house was the best working days, I completed the basic plan and laid the foundation but slowly my true me came out ... I became lazy. It has been already a month that I am thinking of completing it but today I working at double speed. Guess why? On two reason. First reason being that I am an invitee for dinner at her place (Yoho) and Second reason being that as any one would have expected this should be our last meeting and I dont wana look stupid just going to her place with a chocolate. Well, to be frank, at back of my head I did have a small doubt how she would react to such gifts?
Tick Tick Tick 7 pm (Clock ticking)
My expected time of arrival (ETA) has passed, I had call her to borrow some more time as I was still busy in completing the house. Actually, I was packing it. The house turned out to be a little more taller than I expected it to be, so me and Subir in the morning went to Liddle to buy a packing box. They dint have it, I mean they do but they dont sell it. So it took a while for us to beg/borrow/steal one of their packing box.
It was huge one. I mean much much larger than the house. I liked it's size though. From past experience I leant when it comes to gifts, to her, the excitement of a surprised gift is so similar to the gift it self. That would mean, the surprise from the size of the gift pack and the gift would be actually be a double gift to her. I like such girls they make life so easy for dumb guys like me.
Tick Tick Tick 7.30 pm
Packed. I did a quick closing ceremoney of my last months pending work. As I walked on the street, believe me, every one looked at me surprised ... some even commented "oh look, that must be a lovely gift" and of course some people did look at me suspiciously but who cares? I have a dinner to attend and she is indeed a lovely cook. Last time when she cooked, I had a call from my part time job so I could not enjoy much. This time I was determined not to ruin this opportunity.
Tick Tick Tick 8.00 pm
I landed in the exact bus stop which she told me to, with a broad smile. I have rarely been on a right direction when ever I have been given a map and asked to be there on a specified time. So far, this time, it appears to be different. So, I do have good reason to have a smile on my face. It was a lonely street, there were not to many people, so I looked for the mobile phone in my pocket because I still need a bit more direction from her.
Tick Tick Tick 8.30 pm
I am back to my room. I have two miss call from her. I quickly called her back.
Me> Hi
- Hi Gosh, where are you now?
Me> umm listen, I was there near your home but forgot to carry my mobile with me so had to return, I will be there as soon as possible
- Dont worry, just come over.
Sorry folks, to be continued....
