Vyas,
about 28 years old,
architect,
short,
slim,
shaven head,
with a goatee
and his raging guitar.
Vandana,
about 24 years old,
fashion designer,
short,
slim,
bobbed hair,
with a shy smile
and her swaying dance.
What bliss it was for Vandana
to take Vyas down to the kitchen,
and with a wife’s kiss
coerce him to have some cold fried rice
after six hours and more
of his continuous strumming
on countless shots of rum
on the Saturday night.
What bliss it was for Vyas
to just drop his plate down
the moment he heard them
begin a favorite tune
and run back upstairs,
back to his bewitching guitar,
after planting an elusive kiss
on Vandana’s forehead.
