statutory warning: smoking is injurious to health and abt beer im not sure
"Five Hundred".
i was surprised at my own voice and the confidence with which those two words blurted out of my mouth. i was on teh verge of finishing my second beer of the day and the last gulp of it having a full toll on me. this thing was going on for the fourth time and i donno if i should stop. my inner voice told me to stop but after 2 fosters i guess ive gone deaf to my own self. i was banging my hand on the five hundred note just to give myself some more confidence or to see if i can scare the other guy outta his wits.
but heck!! if the guy was scared i dont hav any idea abt it atleast his face revealed nothing. he was smoking like a chimney and i had trouble reading his face which was impassive(carefully though) .im sure he was an expert in this game but all the same i was pretty confident with me having three queens in my left arm. the spade one dark and beautiful the hearts one sensuous and appealing and the diamond one is my all time favourite.
we both are too much into the game and i though it was a point of no return. with every moment the stakes were reaching sky high and tensions kept building on both sides.
"Belive me dude!! if im gonna get this we can drench ourselves in beer that my friend is a promise " i told my friend who was a silent witness to all the excitement.
"enuf is enuf" was his reply as always has been the case wid him
"goddamn loser" i scowled at him.
"in just a moment dude..just a moment. we'll get to know who the goddamned loser would be and if by any chance it happens to be you that wud be the moment im gonna say ADIOS AMIGO" he said and burst out into fits of laughter. for once i cant control myself doin the same.
once again it was my turn.
"Five Hundred again" I said this time it was a bit meek or i felt so i donno y
"well how about showing me the money??" He enquired
"How about showin some trust?" i retorted.
his lips twisted themselves into a slender curve from which smoke came out in viciious circles and i thought that it was his way of smiling in an extremely sarcastic manner
"I dont bliv ppl especially on the fourth week of any month" face once again impassive.
i muttered a curse and suppressed it under my breath. Hey!! he was well built man!!!!
so finally i have gone for it. i cannot contain myself and placed the three queens on teh table with a bang which i considered could have consumed the whole amount of food i ate during the entire week and the sound emanated from it might have stopped two or three hearts if the room is in the proximity of a hospital.
all these heroics failed to have any effect of any kind on him. he was just his usual self and for a change gave me a broader grin and thats it. he has driven the point home directly and all i can do was to curse myself for teh remaining week and hold my friend responsible for this whole thing ofcourse he isn't well built. but still some part of me told that this was all my dream and that he might be kidding me so i asked him to show him his cards and though i refused to believe he got himself three kings and the description of them would not be proper atleast to me at this point of time.
a dejected me was strolling back towards my room and woke up next morning to see my bank balance which read a paltry 297/-. i had a whole week ahead and seriously dont hav any idea wat to do for this weekend.so ive made some resolutions
1.i can go for shopping only to admire things but never to get my two hands out of my trouser pockets.
2.i can claim that bollywood films these days come with so much promise just in trailers but not in the actual content in them (this ofcourse was to do with me not goin to see TASHAN this weekend)
3.neva to trust women..(remember those three queens..errrr)
