Chapter 16

"Bahia ek Benson Light ka carton aur ek T dena" , the paan-walla gave her a pack of the imported Benson lights which he kept only for his special clients and a another small box of Cavanders which had one tola of Mallana in it. She wasn't a regular hash smoker so he knew she wanted only the best and also the fact she worked for Aamir who would make sheesh kababs out of him and then feed them to his Rottweiler . She took the packs and stuffed them into her purse. The weather was getting pretty rough and little droplets of rain fell from the sky and she thought to herself "Real swell girl! who needs a helmet u said I so hate you and if you weren't my favorite I would've just kicked you".She could feel the effects of hash just by holding it.
She drove her scooty a little faster than usual she did not want to get wet in the downpour.She loved the rains but somehow today all she wanted was to get high and fall asleep and forget what she liked and disliked. It was her way of tuning out of this world.
But like always god the almighty the story creator of the Masses the one who makes a man out of a mouse and a mouse out of a newly married husband.
"Sississsisss" came the sound from her tiny rear wheel and she shouted "Fuck off" and parked her baby Lolita under and old Peepal tree. She had no choice but to abuse in every language she could think off because the small shortcut she took through the road adjoining the old park which was a park only in name and actually a shaadi ground and at this lovely time of the year no lovestruck couple was getting married.
She looked at her poor Lolita and prayed it would fix herself on her own. But, she was a lady and needed a man to handle her and in her case a greasy mechanic who would puff beedi on her lovely black tyres but she loved them and at the rate she was getting flat tyres maybe she was in love with one.
"Just my luck I mean god for once can I just do what I want why is it so fucking hard for you to make my life smooth you hated me when i was a little girl you hated me when i was young and now you hate me coz i sell my body...even you are a whore you help only those pleasure only those who shower you with gifts and buy gold for you or feed you sweets... if you hate me so much then take me away you coward asshole you don't even have balls to come down and confront me..." she shouted loudly in her mind and she kept on swearing for a good half an hour before she slowly started to feel weak she couldn't feel her legs and her head went heavy she could feel her breathing going faster and faster and then she could feel her body was afloat like the winds had carried her away in her arms.
