The Drink

“But see people are enjoying here,” Sanjana said in an attempt to coax Khushi to have a drink. “I am not able to hold both the glasses. At least hold one of these,” she said while moving her hand towards her friend in an attempt to make her hold the drink.

All Khushi could say while taking the drink in her hand was, “according to me they are just creating noise pollution and dancing at their stupidities. Trust me they are stupid.”
“Oh come on, don’t be a spoilsport,” Sanjana defended.

“Hey, let me use the ladies room,” said Sanjana and abruptly walked away from the dance floor.

“Sanjana, I hope you spiked her drink,” asked a rouge voice as she stood there, next to the ladies room.
“Yes.”
“That’s your cash, you may leave now.”
Sanjana’s eyes lit up as she saw so many currency notes in front of her.
“Thank you, she said while offering him the drink she had been holding in her hand for some time now.”

Sanjana quickly went into the ladies room and made a phone call.
“You, spiked his drink?” Asked a voice on the other side of the phone.
“Yes.”
“Great, now let’s get out of here. Didn’t I tell you, people here are stupid?”

 

 

Good News

She wanted to break the news to Anish while he was still on a vacation but decided otherwise.
For she wanted to see that joy on his face.

The phone rang and she answered cheerfully, “yes I am going to tell him today.” standing in front of the mirror, she caressed her belly. It was difficult for her to contain her excitement.

As Anish reached home, she told him that there was something she wanted to tell him. He looked at her with curiosity.

“You are going to be a big brother soon,” she announced.

Lovers

“Hi it’s me Nisha, remember we went to the same school?”
“Yes, can’t believe you are here,” said Ranveer.
“I can’t believe it either. So, you are a surgeon now?”
“Yes, but what brings you here?”
“My daughter has a surgery and I was told, you are the surgeon.”
“Oh, I will take good care of her.”

In the Doctor’s Room

“I told you Amit, she must be married by now. Look she has a daughter. Good that I am leaving for America tomorrow itself, right after the surgery. I can’t stay in this place where I spent all my childhood just loving her.”


In the Waiting Area
From a distance Nisha looked at Ranveer. He was talking to a fellow doctor in his room.

“How I wish I would have told him about my feelings back then. He must be married by now. That’s why I adopted Shreya as I knew I can’t give his place to any other man.” She said to herself.

Screen Time

Glued to the TV screen, Rohan was laughing aloud in his room. Today he was allowed to have 2 hours of screen time.

His laughter distracted Reema. Curious, she came from the other room to find out about his subject of amusement.

“Hey mom this new show is really cool. It’s the story of four college friends who meet at their reunion after 10 years,” Rohan said in enthusiasm as he saw Reema at the door.

She stood there stunned. All she could do was to look at Rohan and wish that her 29-year-old could grow up to create his own college memories.
