Secrecy of Regrets

07 Get over with this

07 Get over with this

 "No you really took good care of me. Let me do this for you, please" She pleaded with puppy dog eyes. I hesitantly nodded. She jumped out in excitement and hugged me. She isn't five right?

Wow. I might have made first friend on second day in Amsterdam!!

"No need to be fancy over it. She just helped you, anyone in that situation would have done and she is still stranger." Again... This Mr. Furious here really wants to rub this 'stranger-stranger' thing on my face, doesn't he?

"Zacky, she is not a threat to me." Charlotte said it in my defense.

"She might not be a threat but she is not a friend also." Arguments... arguments...

Here goes my first friend... – News flash... just kidding. Hah!!

But I will not stand there listing to his accusation, right??

Never.

"I need you to know Mr. Zacky-"I started but immediately cut by Mr. Furious.

"You can't call me Zacky. It's not my name for you to address me." He snapped at me!! Snapped at me?? How dare he??

"Mr. Whatever (I just can't test his anger by calling him Mr. Furious, now can I?) Just have privilege to know that I just landed here in Amsterdam all the way from India. After dinner I was just wandering around the place and got your friend there in drunken state and for your so kind information I forgot my main bag there in hotel room which contains all my legal identities and passport and – and if you want to check whether I m telling you a truth or not, you can check soft copies here in my phone. And one more thing, nothing gives you a right to accuse me for which you don't have proof and - and for your peace of mind that I m not a threat to your lovely friend here, you guys can come to my hotel room to verify the things at your own."

Phew... That was the longest speech I ever delivered!!! – Great Job!!

Only after appraising myself I got a chance to look at those three maniacs.

Obviously Mr. Furious composed himself even before I could notice what his expression was! How can he recover from expressions so fast? But my speech made him speechless!!! He he!! Funny know?

My feeling of victory died just after 2 minutes when he said. "Actually good idea. We would like to check your identity proofs. You just landed here from foreign country. We can't take risk."

See... My feelings just vanished.....

And my face fell because this man here will never trust me. And by seeing my expression, his face change from static one to satisfied one!! Huh!!

"Zacky, you are exaggerating things here." Charlotte tried to convince him but no use...

"No – you don't. You are next after this so better be prepared with reasonable excuses." He warned her signaling his hand between me and her.

Such a dominant man. Huh!! (But he does care about his friends.) I don't know from where that came!

I forgot about Ethan, who just obeyed Charlotte's order to shut up. I can see sad expressions on his face and I think deep down somewhere he also loves Charlotte, but just like some movie characters, here they are hiding or ignoring their feelings for each other!!

Now 'Get to the point'

I have got this tagline "Get to the Point" since I encountered with this Mr. Furious. And funny part is that after strictly prohibiting me from calling him ZACKY he didn't tell me his real name, not that I am interested in it and Mr. Furious suits him well.

"Let's get over with this." Finally Ethan uttered a word – no no 'full sentence' to be precise.

And after that we moved from where we were stuck during this whole fiasco.
