“Can you check the guys’ expression sitting at your 10’O Clock?” Aadita, his girl on the blind date said, “I am just here to make him jealous. I really love him to the bottom of my heart so you just need to have lunch with me, have a fake date and then we will have our own ways. My Sonu, he is so cute, right?”
“Why me?” Padamesh said with a realization that his question is for God too. “I mean, there are so many of them at a dating site. I know in IT organization some of them do fake recruitment and job interviews to showcase they are still in the market. Are you doing the same?”
“We had a fight recently and he said that it's him who bears all of her tantrums no one else will even date with me,” Aadita said instantly, “That’s why I closed my eyes and randomly picked the one and you became the chosen one.”
Padamesh knows that his luck for the lottery is always bad but his recent adventure of being picked as lottery proven to be quite good. He is now with full of frustration still all smile at his face. He started casual conversations and in the meantime, do check her boyfriend’s expressions as per her instruction.
“Food in this restaurant is too bad, I can cook better than that” Padamesh said it while having his food, “Don’t give me that look, I really can cook better than this.”
“That’s my boyfriend’s favorite restaurant and we thought the food is really great.”
“I don’t think so. You can either call me great cook or this one as disgusting food, your choice.”
“I fully agree, Sonu only like to eat chicken legs and don’t have a developed taste bud …” Aadita nodded with acceptance, “and I have to accompany him no matter how bad the food is.”
Padamesh glanced towards her boyfriend finding him too engrossed in eating a chicken leg. Being curious how good it could be, he picked up one lying on his own plate. He thought to advertise himself further, in case she has any friend whom she can recommend.
“I love cooking, cleaning dishes and washing clothes.” He said it in proud voice, “I actually spend quite some time to clean my house and everything around.”
“Wow! with a quality like this you are sitting on Goldmine,” Aadita said with a surprise and Padamesh looked towards his crotch on the chair then realized Goldmine was for the literary purpose only. “Your girlfriend might be so lucky or are you single?” Aadita asked.
“I am single… Technically.”
“What does technically means?”
“We recently broke up and thought to follow breakup process based on IT industry. I am serving notice period and almost two months left, after that, I will be fully single unless in industry terminology received a new offer letter.”
“That’s great concept. Looks like you are creative too. I wish things would have been different between us today. You are a very nice guy and someone will soon find you.”
“These words are equally beautiful as you.”
“Don’t remember Sonu is watching us,” she said with a smile and stood up “I am coming back from the washroom.”
He checked her out and thought she is equally beautiful from the back and the very next moment he realized that none of his dates who went to washroom ever came back. She also had the company of her boyfriend who will rip him apart like the way he is ripping chicken legs. He thought this is the time he had to run away so started quickly finishing his chicken legs.
“I want to say you something,” Aadita said.
Padamesh didn’t realize when she came back standing in front of him. “You came back?” Padamesh said with a surprise “Yes, go ahead.”
“I love you,” Aadita said.
“What?” He can’t believe what he just heard and is mouth stayed wide opened.
Aadita bends towards him and gave a tight kiss to the gaping mouth. That’s a surprise attack to him and the chicken legs are still on his hand and her tongue is totally inside his mouth and vigorously searching for something. He opened one eye and looked towards Sonu, he stood up from his seat with all surprised and still have that half-eaten chicken leg in Sonu’s mouth and the remaining portion in his hand. Padamesh, while still being smooched showcased the chicken leg towards him with a gesture of ‘Cheers’ and focused back to the kiss by closing his eyes again. He realized if Aadita doesn't stop her tongue traversing inside his mouth he may get choked soon and on second thought “Is she searching for his tonsils?” really scared him up. When she finally stopped, that eased both the boys on that restaurant. While Sonu still can’t believe in his eyes, Padamesh looks confused not only because of her action but also which one tastes better, Aadita’s lips or chicken leg along with so many tastes of food in his mouth.
“I am the damsel in distress,” Aadita went back to her chair and said, “you are my prince charming.”
“Where the hell this is coming from,” Padamesh said, confused and agitated. “Is this dialogue from Disney movie, ‘Finding Nemo’? That’s why you are finding something inside my mouth?”
“No, not from that movie. The skill set you possess, I can’t let you go. What I have given you just now at your mouth, is the offer letter.”
“Now I get it, you are actually signing the offer letter inside my mouth with your tongue. You have pretty long signature”
“You also have a good sense of humor.” She said with a shy “I will ensure you that I will have a breakup with Sonu and give him two months’ notice period, to be with you.”
Padamesh looks all delighted to hear these words and took the chicken leg in his hand and said, “I accept your offer, Cheers” and she also reciprocated with another chicken leg lying on her plate.
