It was not raining! a cold breeze was not blowing, it was not a pleasant day and the moon wasn't even visible to comment or describe it, thanks to all the pollution! It was scorching hot! it was humid and the air was just filled with carbon, He was sitting there when I spotted him with excitement! the itch was killing me, so was his I believe. It was there for quite a long time and it just needed that last touch! Probably It was the day, my mind told me when I shook his hands with a sense of fear in mind! What if he rejected to do? he smiled while I tried to explain, he was not in a mood to listen while I almost craved for it. I think the wait was longer than I thought, "Will you have a lime tea?" he questioned me, "Of course!" I answered, it was just my effort to please him although the lime team in itself tasted life heaven that too with all the thoughts in mind. He smiled at me, I thought it was just the right time to ask but how? It wasn't easy for me, in fact it is not easy for anyone to ask, we are all conscious. I took it slow and decided not to hurry on him, I thought, that was the best thing to do at that moment. I am sure he would have done it out of pressure but I wanted him to understand. Just as when we were about to finish the last sips of lime tea, I made a brave move and asked him! It was just out straight from my mouth! Probably for the first time I never backed out in my life. I felt good that I finally asked but there was a new fear, Fear of rejection! but just after I had asked him finally he replied instantly "Lets do it here!"
"What??? on road" I exclaimed! he replied back "Yes, right here, right now..what do you say?" I was perplexed, I was clueless, My heart beat was raising and so was his his I bet.. "So what did you decide?" he questioned back, "Come on! lets do it here, may be its the last chance before the itch gets bigger!" he warned, he had a cruel smile on his face, it was inviting me to accept his offer.
I said, "Yes"
"Are you sure?" he confirmed just before we did the crazy thing on road, I uttered "Y...es" with a slight hesitation in my tone. I was just concerned about the onlookers. In a country like India where people gather for even the minute thing that happens on road, we! here trying for something as crazy and as wild as it can get!
"We need to find a medical store..." he exclaimed, "of course yes" I whispered, after all safety and precautionary measures are always important, no matter the mood you are in. Soon we were lucky to find a chemist, "One roll full of cotton..", "One antiseptic ointment and a pair of cond...." I was not bothered to listen, all that I cared was to minimize the itch, something that had cropped in me for last 15 days, it was time for me to get the itch removed. I was lost in my own thoughts at that point of time and just then a voice disturbed my thoughts
"Are you ready?" he asked me..
"huh! it will pain.." I replied,
"Of course! It will, now don't be a dud, you have decided to do it.." he convinced
"But on road? are you sure? I mean.... " I puzzled....
"Why don't we go to my room and do?" he questioned back....
"Nope! lets do it here..." I replied...and closed my eyes..
"Okay.. take it out....and leave the rest to me..." he whispered in my ears!
It was probably the most painful experience of my life and why not? but the pain in me made me realize a lot of things, as he pressed hard, I could feel every part of my boy reacting just to stop me from shouting in pain and agony, he pressed hard until he was satisfied, as the onlookers stood there completely amazed and clueless in shock, the chemist did invite us to do inside his store seeing our condition, we just rejected it, there was a new adrenaline rush to do it right there outside and show the world what he was capable, infact I realized that it was a matter of pride for him. Finally after most of it was drained, he stopped it and said "That is it...I am now satisfied.." that's when I opened my eyes to see this cruel world... We both looked happy that we had done it, we both were satisfied, however we pledged that we will never do it again on road! It was probably my most memorable evening and so was his, I believe..."
As I pen my memorable I feel that it was......Wait a minute.... Have I misguided the readers here? Err! aaragh! I Mean... huh! ummm.. @$#%&*() god! Hang on! I was just writing my experience with my DOCTOR FRIEND whom I met the other day in Vijayanagar and asked him to remove a slight large puss filled pimple by a surgical incision i.e cutting across the pimple using "Conditioned medical razor blades" and draining out all the puss in it by pressing the cut wound hard, just then the chemist asked the doctor to do the procedure inside rather than inside as it might attract numerous other infections! but I insisted road as it was cleaner than the Doc's room! And the Doc was very happy as it was a matter of pride for him that he did a surgical procedure on road without much hassles, he was regarded as a Mobile doctor in the end.
By The way, what did you guys think?
