The Last Supper
“Hey I forgot to tell you, I am seeing Raj”, she blurted out…
“Hey that’s a surprise, great news since when?”
He asked in broken sentences…
She smiled, Blushed a little and said, “It’s been a week”
“Wow I am happy for you, really I am very happy for you…”
He picked up the pink rose resting on the table and gave it to her…Later he realized that it was her favorite color. He looked at her with a pleasant smile and said
“Its been a week? You should have told me before… but any ways I am glad that you did…”
The waiter disrupted their talk and brought the food… he excused him self to the washroom, while the waiter served their favorite Chicken Biriyani.
He came back to see Lavanya on the phone…guess she was talking to Raj…
He had returned after long…after college he had shifted to Delhi and she was based in Mumbai…He had returned after a year to find a changed Lavanya…This was their second meeting since he had landed in Mumbai…he wanted to talk to her about a lot of things…wanted to talk about all the nothings they used to when they were in college together… but then now it was like some stupid cat had got his tongue. He wanted to tell her… ask her …convince her about lot of things…but then he couldn’t. He used to blabber a lot….but he couldn’t…all he did was, smile, eat his chicken Biriyani and sip his Coke…She coaxed him to speak…she tried to strike a conversation but he didn’t want any…he was content …he didn’t want to speak any more…
The cab stopped right in front of her gate…and he opened the door for her…
“I want you to hear this song before you leave”
Billy Joel hummed blissfully through the ear phone….
“You never close your eyes any more when I kiss your lips…there is no tenderness like before in your finger tips…You are trying hard not to show it but honey I know…you have lost the loving feeling…which I knew…”
“You know I won’t be able to meet you anymore… I am happy for you but I am not that strong. I still love you.” he finally blurted out…
He saw her vanish in the elevator…and started to think about which train will take him back home.
