Chapitre 16: lunch with couple
I want to introduce someone to you. He is Rahul our model Salina's friend, what do you think of him? Can he do it? Madhu asked looking at me. I didn't get their intention or what they are talking about.
Harsh get close to me and remove my glasses and give it to Madhu. He started moving around me and makes a rectangle by his hands and watch through it.
I promise he will break it. Hey Rahul! Want to work for my modeling agency. I can tell you have promising future in it. Harsh said in the orotund voice.
Wow Rahul! The owner itself offers you a job and I never see him offering anyone except for one Madhu said in a happy tone.
Please forgive me but I decline your offer. I said because I'm a bit confused and I don't interest in modeling too. It seems too easy to me and I don't like easy things.
What? Madhu said in shocked expression as she witnessed something unbelievable.
Can I ask for a reason? Harsh said
It's a personal thing you want to hear it? I asked.
Yeah! After hearing your thoughts maybe I can change your mind.
I don't like to be a puppet, moving as a cameraman wants to, making poses as he wants, and getting fake credit by my looks when the cameraman was the one working his ass off behind the scenes so I like to be more like a puppeteer who moves puppets or who really works. I said hearing this harsh face was glowing.
Fuck yeah! After so many years I finally found someone like me. Harsh shouted out loud with a cheering voice.
Two sociopaths Madhu said handing me my glasses.
I have to complete my work now. Hey Rahul let's talk again after I complete this shoot.
Yeah I want to talk to you too. I said and Madhu just leave us behind and go towards Salina and harsh go towards the cameras to adjust something and restart the shoot.
After the shoot wrapped up the four of us arrived at a restaurant called "Western-style Dining." The place was cozy and inviting, with soft lighting and stylish decorations. I guess the owner used to work in the film industry because I could tell by the movie posters, old cameras on display and stylish lighting and accessories decorating the interior seemed to be items used in some movies.
The restaurant was busy, but we found a table and sat down. The menu looked delicious, with lots of Western-style dishes to choose from. I took a seat next to harsh and besides me seating was Miss Madhu and Salina was sitting next to Miss Madhu. Harsh, told us that the food was great, and this place was so popular. As I looked around, I noticed that the restaurant was almost full.
We order food as we like with harsh recommendation.
The food was on the table. I start eating without thinking for second with my own pace. I looked towards the harsh he was also same level as me when it comes to food.
It's good isn't it? Harsh asked while chewing a bite.
Yeah it's delicious I said.
Can you two please consider eating at a normal pace. The food was not going anywhere or please consider you're with girls Madhu said looking towards me and harsh with pale face.
Huh? Calling yourself a girl when you have 2 kids and moreover you are in your late 20s.... Kha! Ow! Harsh sudden cracked a big voice. I looked at him. Apparently Madhu charged a punch at his head.
Hey don't you know its bad manners hitting someone while eating? Harsh said groaning in pain and eating again.
Look who's talking? Madhu said ignoring me and Salina they were at in their own World.
I looked at Salina who was feeling awkward moments.
Ugh ugh ummm I clear my throat to get their attention.
Oh sorry Rahul and Salina please forgive my wife for acting like that Harsh said.
Is she your wife? Miss Madhu? I asked
Yeah and moreover my best friend.
Can you please eat without taking more harsh? Madhu said in angry voice showing her fist too harsh.
Okay okay said harsh.
And then again we start to eat our lunch in peaceful environment without talking.
After 5 min harsh asked me.
Rahul do you know about Maslow's hierarchy of needs?
Yeah I do know there are five levels, from basic to advance.
The 1st one was Physiological need: Includes needs for air, nutrition, shelter, and clothing.
2nd was Safety: Includes psychological safety and the safety of the self, family, jobs, health, and life.
3rd was Love and belonging: Social needs that include a sense of belonging.
4th was self Esteem: Includes needs for self-respect, strength, competence, mastery, self-confidence, independence, and freedom.
5th and last one Self-actualization: realized the meaning of our life.
I said.
So you know, well! From the beginning I have everything. Good food, shelter, healthy body, good brain, everything you can ask for, so my life was kind of boring. I always wander around the city when I was in my jar. College.
I don't feel like doing anything in my life. I want to find my life purpose at the same time I was curious about physical relationship between man and woman and you know what I crossed my line with my best friend with her permission. I didn't committee a crime okay! I did it with her permission for the sake of my curiosity and this how I get married to my best friend. Harsh said in monotone.
So.... What's it have to be with me? I asked
Nothing I just feel like sharing my painful memories with you because I can tell you are same as me! Harsh said with serious voice. A single drop of water comes from his eyes and through running on his cheek.
You idiot! Smack.
Harsh received another punch in head.
Hahahaha I laugh you are so funny harsh.
And thus the lunch come to end. Harsh pay the bill and I was about to go home when harsh call me and give his number to me.
Call me if you change of heart I will always wait for you. Harsh said.
Thank I will call you soon. I said
Salina come towards me and said bye from the look of her face it seems like she has more to say but I didn't ask.
Yeah see you on Monday in college, bye. And I leave towards the bus to go home.
