Pub To The Fun - Part 1
Greetings to all you readers. My name is Justin, aged 27, 5ft.8in in height, athletic built, and this would be my third story. You can follow up my other two by the names “How the unexpected became a beautiful beginning” and “The mysticism of autumn love”. I’m from the City of Joy, and yes it’s Calcutta; The home of rich culture and beautiful women. There’s just something about them that gives them the divine sex appeal. I guess it’s their unusual tan. ;) I value feedback, and should anyone email me then the conversations would be in utter secrecy and privacy. For contact, you can email me at [email protected] . The following story is fictional just as the first two. The whole idea of this story is about the developments of two people when they met on their way to the pub. _________________ The heavy downpour was almost a certain blow to his plan of visiting the pub tonight. Being a weekend Saturday he definitely wouldn’t want his pub-schedule to be thrown off the list. It didn’t seem to stop and the clock was already showing a 10:00pm. Waiting for the rain to cease was killing him for he desired to visit the pub after a whole week of work stress. He wanted some time to relax… To unwind. Little did he know that he would be getting more than what he had expected. The time passed so slowly… Minutes felt like incinerated hours. Finally, he decided to wait no more and drove out of his garage in his shiny cherry-red sedan. Usually he visits the pubs with friends but unfortunately this week they all had other commitments. Nevertheless, he decided to go as a stag. He always had a specific choice of dressing for times like these. His attire would be jeans, leather party shoes and a formal shirt with its sleeves folded up just a little above his elbows. Who needs swag when you can have class, eh? ;) As he drove down the road towards his destination he plugged his phone to the stereo and let the music blare all the way with the windows rolled up and the cool AC giving the interior a comfortable feel. A police checkpoint stopped him midway for routine surveillance and as soon as he rolled down his window he received a “Salaam Boss!”. He didn’t give it another thought but just handed them a couple of hundred bucks for their snacks and tea. With this, he drove on. He hummed to the tune of the music and tapped the wheel with his fingers like playing the background drumming. Oh! He was so on for the night! Must’ve been his lucky day too as he encountered no red traffic lights so far. “Dafuq…”, he thought to himself. His luck would be rising to a whole new level in a few moment’s time. There came a sharp right turn and as he took it his sight caught a glimpse of a stranded cab just a few yards ahead with its hood popped. The driver was frantically attempting to diagnose the car’s illness while a pretty young bengali lady of about 26 sat at the backseat with her eyes glues to her cellular phone. He intentionally drove slower and noticed that she seemed to be upset and was typing so fast with frustration as if her fingers would poke through the screen. Just when he passed the cab he thought of assisting the stranded damsel. Instantaneously, he punched the brakes and sent his tyres screeching to a halt. The gear stick was now switched to reverse and he backed up slowly till his window was exactly opposite to hers. The window pane automatically rolled down and he found the mesmerizing bengali beauty stating right at him. She was silky smooth… Her make up was just about perfect. He could hardly see much as it was dark inside the cab. He glanced at the cab driver and then darted his eyes back at her. Him: Good evening lady. Seems you’re in some trouble… Perhaps, I could assist you in some way… Her: Hello. The cab broke down and I’m getting late for a get together. I could hail another cab only if I could find one. Him: Oh bhaiya! What happened? Driver: I’m not really sure… There was sharp ping sound and immediately the engine died. I’m afraid I don’t think I can drop the lady to the place she asked for… (saying this he plunged his face back into the hood) Him: Well… Miss… If you’re comfortable then I could drop you wherever you intended to go. Would you be interested? Her: It’s Ms. Sohini. I’d be grateful but I hope it’s not too much of a trouble for you to go out of your way since I’m heading for XYZ pub. Him: I’ll be damned… That’s actually where I’m heading to too. I usually go there on most weekends. Come on… Hop in! Her: Sure… Lemme grab my things… Be there in a minute. As she collected her belongings he came out of his sedan and approached the driver and clear her fare without her knowledge. While returning back he noticed Sohini had just got done with powdering her face and applying a fresh coat of creamish-red lipstick. He walked to the other side to wait for her and observed her actions. She came out in her red-one-piece-knee length-body hugging party dress. “Daaayuumm”, he thought to himself. She was fiddling with her purse to pay her fare when the driver intimated her that it was already clear by the gentleman who spoke to him a while back. She gave a smile as it was all she could do and gracefully walked towards him at which he swung the door open for her to get in. As he walked across from the front fingers could sense her eyeing and admiring his chivalry and manliness and the way he carried himself. In a way, she was impressed. He got into the driver’s seat and rolled up the windows once again. The AC began to blow waves of cool breeze at her which sent her straight shiny hair floating back and forth. Her satisfaction was hard to go unnoticed by him. The initiated a formal conversation and spoke about an assortment of matters including work, boyfriends/girlfriends, family, etc.
