His First date
Disclaimer :All events depicted in this short story can be considered as purely fictious....but may not necessarily be ...!!!
Well what is date? As per wikepedia it is "the act of agreeing on a time and "date" when a pair can meet and engage in some social activity" Well Social activity... here the activity was watching a movie.
The D-date finally arrived.On the day hw was up late as usual since it was the first day of the weekend.The date had been fixed and the plan was to watch a horror movie in the mall.
He called up his date as soon as he started on the journey towards the mall. Two rings and she picks up the call...
Him: "hi, i just left now....where are you?"
Her: "hi, will leave in another 10 mins."
him: "Ok, Will take the ticket if i reach there ahead of you"
Her: "Ok", so see u there,bye"
He hears a click sound.The phone was disconnected.He contemplated to go the mall in an auto or catch the bus to the destination. Finally the decision was made and he boarded the bus.On the way he called up his college buddy. They spoke.....spoke and spoke
at length of earthly matters(the usual things.. feeling boring da....etc etc)
Him:"Hey, me going for date da"
Friend: "cool man, with whom da?"
him:"hey my school friend's friend"
Friend: "Cool da, enjoy"
Friend: "Cool da, enjoy"
All this time the bus had traveled few kilometers and had come to halt at a major traffic signal junction.Now the journey from here was slow....the traffic was moving at a snail's pace. He was thinking....what was he thinking
Him : "Well this will be the first date of my life....am i really ready.. yeah. i am!!"
Well...some thoughts were running through his mind.But due to heavy firewall around his mind the penetration into those thoughts were not possible
Well the journey continued....the bus navigating the heavy traffic and finally reaching the destination where he has to get down to board the next bus. There the phone rings.... a vibratory feel in the pant pocket.He picks up the call.Well now its his school friend. A very sweet and crazy gal.
Him:" Hi da...."
Her:" Hi, where are you da?"
Him: " i am outside....going on a DATE.
Her:" Oh ho, who is the gal?"
Him:" Well you also know her....she is your friend also."
Her: " Oh her....well ok, carry on then"
Him: "Ok da,bye"
The call ends and the bus to the continue the next leg of journey comes and halts at the bus stop where he was standing.He got into it and continued the onward journey....
The next leg of the journey numerous thoughts were running through his head, but i will not dwell upon all these.Well bus travelled on the road navigating all the traffice and finally reaching the point of no return for him. He got down and called her .Tringg..tringg.... the rings continued but there was no answer. He wondered "Why is she not picking up the call?Well the answer to the question "Maybe she is in a crowded bus and did not hear the ring" .Thus he consoled himself. He made his way to the ticket counter.He reached there and discovered that there were just ten tickets left for the show for which he had a date.Now he was in a fix. What should he do? should he take the tickets?Should he ask her?Inspite of all these ....he decide to make his move. The move that would make this date happen. He bought the tickets!
The salesman at the ticket counter said "Well here you are sir, two tickets for the movie","Remember sir ,it is a movie certficate with "A" certificate." Well he knew that as it was an horror flick the censor board had given it a "A".He just smiled.There was still an hour left for the movie to start and yet "SHE" had not come. Where was she? what was taking her long?The phone rang...."Hi ,i am just 15 min away...will join you soon" ......Well she had called and finally he knew she would be coming soon
