One fine evening, listening to my umpteen failed love stories, my friend had remarked  as if  pronouncing the verdict of the century, "You are the greatest foolhardy, flirtatious, idiot that has ever walked or that will ever walk on earth."  And he opined that the character of Charlie from the TV series “Two and Half Men” is inspired by me. But little does my good friend know, I am in a secret affair with somebody. However flirtatious I may look, at least one affair of mine, which is till today a secret affair, is going on smooth.  And I am going to write down the date I had yesterday with that special someone.

Yesterday, that somebody was with me throughout the evening. We met at around 6.30 PM in my room. The moment we met, the ambience became romantic in a different manner. My love always brings a different aura whenever we meet. This aura is romantic in its own way and my love likes it so much. So when we met, the power went off and it started raining heavily outside. Then lovely cool breezes made my room cool. As power was off, we decided to go to a pub. While my love was waiting in the living room, I opened my wardrobe only to find, all my clothes are dirty and stinking as they have not been washed for quite some time because of my laziness. Any way I put on something which is less stinky as I was planning to put on some good quality body spray to cover up. But the body spray was over since a week and I have never bought a new one.  I was frustrated, but not my lover. “My darling, don’t worry, I am not going to leave you for your stinky clothing!!”—and I felt I am the luckiest person to have such a nice considerate lover.

However, we started on my pulsar. It was raining cats and dogs, the mud was being splashed all over my bike, and all over our legs and thighs (thanks to the speeding four wheelers); but little did we care. The two love birds riding on the chariot of Athena oblivious of the surrounding. But hardly did we reach the Magarpatta signal, my bike ran out of petrol. It was a moment of great frustration for me, as I was afraid that my sweet date was going all wrong. But zap comes the sweet voice, “My darling, don’t worry, I am not going to leave you because of a failed bike on our date!!”- --and I felt I am the luckiest person to have such a nice considerate lover.

I dragged my bike in the middle of heavy rain to the nearest petrol pump which is three kilometres away. But never did my love say, “OK you go! I will be waiting here”—always accompanied me through all my travail and despair. I murmured to myself “this is called true love”.  At last I reached the petrol pump and filled my bike full. I gave my HP petro credit card to the Petrol boy, but he said, “Saab! Machine kaam nahi kar raha hey, cash dena padega”. And I did not carry enough cash. The only option was to leave the bike at the petrol pump and walk to the nearest ATM to draw cash. I looked at my love apologetically, and pat comes the sweetest reply, “My darling, don’t worry, I am not going to leave you because the stupid swipe machine is not working in the petrol pump and we have to walk another one kilometre to fetch cash from ATM.”---and I felt I am the luckiest person on earth to have such a nice and considerate lover.

Finally, we drove to Hard rock cafe, which was closed because of very heavy rain. Then we went to ABC farm, and none of the pubs were open. Then we went to “ten downing street” in Gera Park and the bouncer said “The floor is full”. Then we went to SOHO and luckily it was open. I heaved a sigh of relief. But as luck would have been, both of us were not wearing shoes, and the bouncers did not allow us. I pleaded with them in fact literally begged them, but we were not allowed. I was looking really miserable; I was thinking what my beloved will think of me. At that moment I hated myself the most. I was thinking, “I am good for nothing, my love has come in the middle of such heavy rain half...no no fully drenched just to meet me and I am the useless person cannot arrange a simple romantic evening.” Then I hear the same sweet voice, “My darling, don’t worry, I am not going to leave you because you cannot get entry into a pub.” and I felt I am the luckiest person on earth to have such a nice and considerate lover. I said, “Let’s go to Carnival Bar.”

Finally, we reached Carnival, but the waiting was too much. The bar manager asked us to wait for forty minutes and it was around ten. So we decided that we would go to my room and have a drink instead.  We drove back home. On our way, we bought one half bottle Teacher’s Scotch, some chips to have with the alcohol and one plate chicken kebab. But the eternal idiot I am, I forgot to buy candles and I did not remember it till I reach home and try to put lights on. I was feeling as if I should bang my head on the wall. I excused my love for 5 minutes, ran to the nearest shop to buy one packet candle and match stick. Then I arranged the dining table in a romantic way, lit three candles in a make-shift candle stand. I opened the scotch and lo! I have forgotten to get some cold drinks. I prefer scotch on the rocks but my love cannot. I again ran to the nearest ice cream parlour to get a full bottle of Thumbs Up. By the time I reached home, I was completely frustrated but I again here the soothing words, “My darling! Don’t worry, I am not going to leave you because you could not manage properly”--- and I felt I am the luckiest person on earth to have such a nice and considerate lover.

Then I made two brilliant pegs, added thumbs up to my love’s glass, and I was searching for ice cubes and “Oh Shit! I forgot to get ice cubes”. But then I thought, who would go outside now, and I thought I would manage without ice. (Scotch neat, without ice, yak yak...but I did not have the strength to run outside again). I was feeling extremely nauseate to gulp those hot liquids but I got a feeling that after two pegs I would feel okay. Then I opened the starter only to find that the hotel boy had given me chicken butter masala instead of chicken kebab, and neither I nor my love like this piece of shit. But what to do, we tried a bit, but it was too bad and I got so frustrated that I dumped them into dustbin. Then I made one egg omelette, but by mistake, I poured a little bit more salt. Now I was on the verge of crying but my darling said, “My darling! Don’t worry, I am with you”---and I felt I am the luckiest person on earth to have such a nice and considerate lover.

The evening was all messed up, the drink was all too bad (worst drink of my life), the chips were too damp, the omelette was too bad to be eaten and it was too dark and too cold inside because of heavy rain. I frustrated to the extreme. But my darling was smiling and unperturbed. Finally, I understood, I could not go beyond the first peg. (It is of wide knowledge that Mitrabhanu Mahapatra like to have 6 large pegs at a time, but the time was so that I was unable to finish a small peg) I finally said, “Let’s go to bed.” I tried to put on the blanket but “My Lord! It is all too drenched in the rain, as I have forgotten to close the sky light in the bedroom, the blanket was completely drenched and along with my cupboard.” I yelled, I shouted, I cried at the top of my voice. But I hear the soothing voice in my ears, “Darling! Don’t worry, I will never leave you so easily, you have to bear with me. I am Murphy. Let’s sing our love tune, the tune that we have sung on our first date.”

“Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.”—chorus.
