A Night at the Bar - 2

"While he drove slowly back to his office anticipating another pissed off day, his mind was at unrest and through the clouds

of last night's hangover he  tried to remember everything again, the face of the girl, her smile, her eyes.And suddenly as usual he began to talk to himself"

Jay: The girl,those dance moves and that sweet kiss! Dude everything might be a dream. I was so drunk yesterday.Lets snap out of it budd...

Or was it a reality??Gosh!My head will burst now."

"Tringgggg!The phone rings suddenly, he frowns upon the screen and its the boss again!He unwillingly picks up the call"

Boss(yelling): Shall I send a copter for you? Report to my chamber within 10 mins"

Jay(in a meek voice):Ummmm sorry sir trafic...... I'll be there in no time"

"He took a shortcut,his car accelerated, and as he neared his office, his mind got occupied with rants about his boss and his job.Everything was in place again

as usual"

"Back in office, it was not a typical day for him. His mind it was completely lost somewhere. Even his favourite "Sharma Tea" couldn't make him feel better.

The day was almost ending and his restlessness was at its peak.Suddenly his buddy walks in."

Buddy: Waasup man where ya lost ? Is it the boss again?"

Jay: No its just I'm a bit off today.

Buddy: Okay mate!We are going for clubbing today.You'll feel better,com'on budd join us!

Jay: naah I'd probably stay at home today.Its already too late.You guys carry on! have fun hun."

Buddy: Well sure see ya tomorrow budd.

"Jay drove his way to home but the thought of Beer was killing him from inside. At the traffic singnal, confronted by his inner voices, his autosuggestion came

into play"

Jay:Let's give it a try! I'm not gonna hit my place tonight, just can't take this restlesness anymore. Ehh,head to the bar and wait for that mysterious gal?

Yup!Sounds good!That's it I'm coming."

"His heart skipped a beat,he took  left and in no time he was at the same bar."

Jay: Hey Avinash, right?

Bartender: good evening sir.

Jay: A beer please.

Bartender: sure sir!

Jay: you know what Avinash i am waiting for the girl, what do u think she's gonna come tonight? 

Bartender: I don't know sir, I hope.

"Jay starts sipping the beer slowly while he plays some game on his phone.In between his impatient eyes keep on glancing in room,searching for the same girl.

The same romantic track hits and Jay seems to be lost in the music.."

"Its almost 11 now and there is no sign of the girl.Jay decides to leave in another 15 minutes.Just he got up from his seat he see her. The beautiful her!

Both see each other and he waves at her with an infectious smile."

"Beer walks towards him.

Jay(smiling): Hey sweet lady! I though I lost my beer.

Beer: hey, you are funny.

Jay:Sweet lady,I am honoured to see ya again.

Beer(giggles):Ahaaa!Same here Jay. Btw you could have atlest told the color of your car man.I couldn't find which one was yours and man I had to take a cab to home(faking a sad face)"

Jay(seeping his drink): I apologise sweet lady! I will make sure you have a short midninght ride in my car(winks).

Beer:sure Jay!Sounds so cute and romantic!You are the man!

"Both laugh as they drink"

Jay:Sweet lady,this last sip for our second meet.Cheers!

"Both raise their glasses and clinkk!The sound fills both of them with joy and their eyes met for a while. Slow music is playing making the environment extremely romantic."

Both smiled at each other and drink the last sip.

Jay: do you know more beer? Sweet Beer? 

Beer(giggles): thanks jay, I think its enough for tonight.

Jay: Avinash bill please.

Jay(breaking the silence): So pretty lady wanna shake legs with me on this tune or have a midnight long drive?

Beer: of course a long  drive!Sounds exquisite.You are the man Jay! heyy one thing ,the playlist will be mine"

Jay(smiling): Sure sweet lady.The entire music system will be yours tonight"

"He pays the bill and quickly turns to Beer,holds her hands gently and both slowly start to walk out of the bar.

 Jay: There you see! that's my car sweet lady! 

 Beer: Man,I'm flattered now!

"Both get in the car and he starts driving. Beer takes over the music system and romantic numbers start playing. Love is in the air !"

Beer: jay, stop the car, there's my spot.

Jay stops the car and open the door for her.

Beer: thanks for the ride, jay. 

Jay: when can I see you again? And where?

Beer: do u believe in destiny? 

Jay: i believe in making destiny. 

Beer: haha, funny you. I have to go now.

Jay: beer will you tell me one thing, if you are comfortable in telling?

Beer: yeah, ask.

Jay: you left yesterday night not because you were not able to find my car, but you don't wanna come? Why you dissapear?

Beer(Spanish): A veces es bueno dejar que algunas cosas no dichas...

Good bye Jay! Believe in destiny.

She walked in the mist and disappeared.
