Introducing my life partner through this post,Rag,the only person with power to make me sob and smile within seconds.Yeah,he is the hero of this story too.
Its typical Ragism to make me wait everyday before he picks me form office late evening. As per him,reason for his late arrival includes crash meeting,emergency call,urgent report requirement,traffic & yeah,missing car from the parking lot too,which wraps up the truth that he forgot where it was parked in the morning! Being used to all his nakras,I patiently wait for him each evening while calling him every 5 minutes to trace his where abouts.
One such evening was today and I stood at the office lobby sweating & watching couples walking together with envy. The first call at 7 said he is busy in a meeting & would reach me within 15 minutes. The second call at 7.15 found him waiting for lift and next two calls drove him across two streets draining 10 more minutes of my precious after office hours. Just a second before my patience burst,he stood there with a pale face,doubting wheather to smile or not. Trying to hold my anger,I tunded to FM & went blind & deaf to all his woes.
Not knowing how to soothe my anger he stumbled and trembled with fancy words until a brilliant idea hit him. I was taken to surprise when we stood infront of a chat counter,my recently found love,a place that serves the spiciest Pani puris(PP) in whole city,just the way I want,with crispy puris filled with mint water,finely chopped onion & baked beans.It will take all another post to describe my love for PPs & my struggle to find them in this desert.
Furious mind had almost calmed by now and the moment the yummilicious PP quenched my desire,I was full of smile & peace. More PPs completely cooled me down leaving water in eyes and nose,the reason for which is well known. There stood my man,beaming with victory smile,of conquering my anger, without a sword or word. We both returned home,wiping eyes and nose with satisfaction,though the reason for both were different.
And you thought I cried because he made me wait?? Silly you :)
