Clang....CRASH.......
What?? Kev?? What did you say????
Who????
The glass from Jerry's hand crashed with loud bang. The waiter came rushing to check hearing the sound.
Blood was oozing out from Jerry 's hand and he looked dazed and looked sick and with sinister eyes ready to snubbed somebody's life.
"Gosh! Jerry Liang your hand is bleeding ."
"How could you cut your hand?"
"Let me!"........
Kevin took the tissue and passed on to Jerry.
Meantime the Steward brought the savlon anticeptic and wiped the cut and asked him politely...
" Sir there's a Resident doctor in the chamber."
"Better to bandage it properly and he might advice a shot of anti Tetanus."
Kevin beckoned the Steward towards them and told him..
" Yeah! check the Resident Doctor quickly and we are visiting him."
Jerry:. "Forget it ! It's a minor cut and no glass pieces."
"Blood will clot after sometime."
And sure, after sometime the bleeding stopped except for dull pain but his throbbing pain in the heart continued.
And he refused to see the doctor vehemently.
Now, new trouble had cropped up in the face of Kevin Li.
Jerry would somehow get rid of Johnson from the way.
But Kevin Li?????????
Gosh! One down and another sprang up.
"Please clear the table and serve us dinner."
Kevin instructed the Steward.
His words brought back Jerry from his unprecedented thought.
" He lost his appetite suddenly but to keep up the facade he struggled with the dinner somehow everything tasting like sawdust.
His mouth ached like anything smiling to the monotone of KEVIN'S STORY.
He wanted to snub Kevin Oh! What the Fu....Shut up....but he had to listen to his story which pierced his heart deeper and deeper.
Kevin Li started like this......
