Tequila Night

The sun was in his eyes as he woke up and he was startled by the surroundings in which he awoke. He had never seen this room before, and was in a haze about where he was and what had happened last night. 

He slowly got out of the bed and looked around, it looked like he was in somebody’s living room. He walked around and saw a kitchen which was empty and a bedroom which was empty as well. The inhabitants of this house were clearly not at home. 

He went to the kitchen and got a bottle of cold water from the fridge. He gulped half of it and felt refreshed. He went back to the living room and sat on the sofa and tried to piece together what had happened last night. 

He had been invited to a birthday party in the loft of a recording studio. He remembered that there was lots of whiskey followed by lots of tequila interspersed with a few joints. He had to stop living like this and rethink at what cost was he trying to regain his youth after his divorce. If things continued like this, not much of it was going to be left. 

He remembered slamming his head on a low beam in the loft and had been quite dazed by it. Oh yes, he could feel something and he felt his head and surprisingly there was no bump on his head. 

He remembered that there had been two girls, lesbians maybe, whom he was trying to get friendly with. They were joined at the hip and took no notice of him. Definitely lesbians, he thought. 

And then there was the life of the party, JJ, who was there with his guitar and had sung all through the night. That was the good part of the evening. Ah yes, there was Chinese food and delicious chicken wings. He was glad to be back to being a carnivore. 

He had spent a year and a half supplicating a higher power to restore the balance to his marriage and during their separation he had given up smoking, drinking, non vegetarian food and of course he did not get any sex, but that was just an unlucky bonus. 

The divorce was a good thing. He was back to enjoying the things he liked most, and was feeling happy; as happy as a dog with a boner. 

But he still did not know where he was and how he got there. He saw his car keys on the dining table and said Nooo! “I certainly did not drive last night” he said aloud. “Could not have.” 

He searched his memory a little more and there was a fleeting memory of him being held by two people while he threw up over a gutter. Now it was starting to make sense. He remembered not being able to stand straight on his own and was led to his car and put in the back seat. 

Just then the door opened and the  two girls from the party walked in. He looked at them and laughed, “What the hell happened last night?”. 

“Nothing much” said one of the girls. We wanted to have a threesome with you and you drank too much tequila in the car in your excitement and that when we got here to our place you were wasted and could not perform.” 

“Damn the tequila” he said and started laughing.

Passing Through A Village

It was a dark moonless night and Nick had just got off a truck which he had hitched a ride on.  He looked around and found himself standing on the outskirts of a small village. He wanted to get another ride but it looked like it was not to happen for a few hours.  He was used to this and just sat on the milestone by the side of the highway. He looked at the time on his watch, it said 2:15 a.m. He lit a beedi, a taste he had developed on his rides on the highways.  He was hungry and his stomach growled. He checked his satchel and there was nothing in there that he could eat.  A villager was on a bicycle and he was passing Nick when he heard Nick’s stomach growl and stopped and said “You look hungry sir, please come to my shop. I will get you something to eat.”  Nick was not surprised by this sort of thing anymore. Being hospitable was a way of life in the villages and small towns. Nick followed him and they reached a small shop that was shut.  The villager o...

Aisha's Family

This was not the end. Aisha had seen this sort of thing in movies, but she had no idea that it would happen to her and thought that this too could pass.  It must be just a passing phase she thought. All of her pain had tied her in a knot that nothing could untie. She had to see this through to the end.  Haider loved her and she knew that he would never hurt her. He was sensitive and caring.There was not an evil bone in him.  Her father had tried to warn her about this, but she was too much in love to think clearly. All of her days and nights she had thought of him, loved him and took care of him. Now he had told her that he was gay.  “Where were the signs?” she thought.  Her father had warned her that he was much too effeminate and she would get her heart broken.  But she just dismissed it as the opinion of a suspicious man. Now she regretted not having paid heed to his words.  She had a ten month old baby and was feeling totally helpless. She did not ...
