Chapter 38

He walked back from the bar and sat on the table at the corner to have a peaceful drink, away from the crowd. He just wanted to relax and for a change watch others dance. She noticed someone in the crowd and thought nice dance moves, but she disappeared in the crowd. He was remembering the last minute call from Bhatta and his arrival here and his presentation and how much he had loved doing it. He turned around and started to look at the hall and noticed the architecture on the walls.

The sculpture was beautiful and the hall had marble pillars every three feet giving the room a palace like feel. The ceiling had a detailed painting which he tried to make out, but the dim lights in the room made it very difficult. His neck started to hurt and decided to let it go. The silk drapery was dancing to the tune and the crowd in the room and his eyes moved towards the bar and was contemplating weather to get another drink or not.

She excused herself and stepped out of the dance floor. Couple of more men asked her to dance with them. She was thirsty and felt she had had enough fun and turned down their invitation and walked towards the table where she had left her scarf and her bag. When she was about to sit, she noticed that someone had left their jacket on the chair opposite to hers and wondered who that was. She sat down and poured herself a glass of water and slowly started sipping it while watching others dance.
