Chapter 8

She had made up her mind and she knew what she had to do , if fate wanted her to be one she would become one , she knew what was asking for but she also knew the ground realities.She went out with Isha that night and she met Sweety in a Chinese restaurant in Janak Place . Sweety had a private table there which was upstairs and she and Isha made her way up through a small dingy staircase at the back side of the restaurant.
She was wearing her only pair of good jeans and a nice turquoise high neck sweater , it was a little cold that night and the wind was blowing gently and the stars were out though she couldn't see many stars in this bright city. Isha asked her to wait outside a small door which had Privat written on it , she snickered as the e was missing from the word.
Isha went in and there she saw Sweety and she told him everything about this girl and he alomst had tears in his eyes , he wiped them with his silk handkerchief.He asked the waiter to send her in and leave for a while . She came in and Sweety stood up he was wearing a bright Fuschia pink shirt and a blue jeans. He hugged her and asked her to sit down .
Sweety said in his broken English "So u wants to work with us??", she said "y..yess" , Sweety told her about his Parlor and how much she could earn the cut he would keep.Sweety looked at her and said "Main aapko har baar koi good looking man nahi guarantee kar sakta, sometimes he could be 60 or sometimes he could be only 16 , aapko koi problems to nai?" , she snickered and said "sixteen , isn't that a little too young" at this point Isha intervened and said "They are the best , they pay more and do less and its easier to please them, horny kids are much better than a horny sixty year old who waits fifteen minutes for his pill to help him stand up " sh winked at her and had sip of water.
Sweety asked her "aap version ho??" , she didn't get it and she looked amusingly at Isha who smiled at Sweety and said "Vir ...Gin" , he smiled and said "ek hi baat hai" , she said "yes I am", she lied as Isha had asked her not reveal her past sexual escapades to anyone anymore.
Sweety asked her to come with Isha to the Office around 11 am tomorrow morning. She thanked him and he got up and said "Ab ham friends hai , and no thank you and sorries in fraandsheeps ", she got up and hugged him and he took there leave and went downstairs and left the restaurant.
Isha looked at her and said "Well Miss Ver...sional ..." she smiled at her and said "I liked him he's sweet , is he married?" Isha smiled and said "No honey he's gay!!" She was shocked a little and she said "He is ?? muje bhi laga but i thought he was just drunk i guess"
Isha winked at her and said "He is a good guy and you'll learn a lot of things from him..."
The waiter knocked on the door and brought in a tray laden with almost everything that the this small restaurant had in its menu. She looked at Isha and said "are going to eat it all??"
, Isha said "nai re , we take the rest in a doggy bag , tu kha jitna bhi tu kha sakti hai"
Between the two of them they ate a bowl of Garlic noodles and chicken and had some beer and rest was packed and ready to go, they lugged these heavy food bags downstairs and took an Auto and went home. Isha took all the food bags and threw them in the fridge and asked her to change as she needed to tal to her about some serious business.

Liked the simplicity, the whole idea of carrying the rest of the food back was very creative... I mean, people who come from the poorer sections of society wouldn't dream of wasting food ever!
