5:59 PM, the watch displayed. Cautiousness
and anxiety struck him simultaneously. During the next 60 seconds, he could not
help but stare the door. “Heavy traffic she must be in” he whispered and
believed this for next 23 minutes till he dropped a text. “Hey. Where are you?
I’m at BBN.” “Shit. I’m so sorry. I am with a friend. I totally forgot.” was
the reply.
He was dumbfounded.
Exactly at the same time, his
order: meal for ‘two’ got delivered. Blankly he looked at waiter, passed on the
card for swapping and left.
Maybe the distance had amplified,
maybe he had expected too much!
