Meeting.
The house of Jackie was huge; it was encircled with stile and a garden, the car parked at the huge porch, the house was coloured in brunette, and its garden was filled with weeping willows, pansies and daisies. The house had large windows, it was a one storey house, and the terrace was filled with flowerpot, as I could see the plants peeping out of the parapet of the terrace, and at the right, there was a chimney. I got down from the sedan, one of the servants came, Jackie ordered him to carry my bag out of the boot of the sedan and place it at the guest room. Jackie and I went inside the house; the room was extremely large, which had a polished table with chairs at the left; while on the right there was a hearth, with two overstuffed chairs at opposite, and beyond that there was a huge settee. Jackie told me that, my room is at first floor, and after a while we will have our talks on tea. Jackie escorted me till my room, and I stepped inside. The room was big and clean, there was gloomy carpet on the floor, but it was attractive, the room had two windows opposite the door, at the left there was a study table, and beyond that there was a huge closet. At the right there was a huge bed with spongy duvet over it, there was a cabinet where a lamp thrust on it. My bag was kept on the cabinet, besides the bed, and there was washroom adjacent. I unzipped my bag and picked my clothes. After having a bath, I pulled over my plaid shirt, and navy-blue trousers and I went to the table at the hall. There were many scrumptious breakfasts kept over it, there were fricassee, pho, omelette, tortillas, hummus and fish sandwiches, also there was a tray, where the tea kettle, cups and saucers were kept. I sat on the table waiting for Jackie. He came quickly, rubbing his hands.
Jackie uttered, "You should have started to eat." I smiled and answered, "It's better to have foods with your family and friends.... You know we use to go together in cafeteria at office." Jackie chuckled, and replied, "Yes buddy, we can't forget those days." We started gobbling our breakfast, and after tea, we sat on the large settee, and we started talking about our old days, we too talked about my old love, and he sympathize with me, I told him that, it's time for me to go ahead in life, he was glad that, I had moved ahead. Jackie told me that, after lunch, we will lumber around the village. We had our talks, till afternoon, we shared our emotions, however, I never talked about my meeting with the Saint, perhaps, he would never believe me, as there was nothing concerned to him. I remembered the scoffers, who were taking jibe on me during my school and college days, however, now I guess there is nothing bothering me. Later that afternoon, the servants arranged lunch for us, I would say the hospitality given by Jackie and his servants were awesome. At table there were variety of dishes, there were lentils gravy, tortillas, rice, mackerel and sardine's gravy, fried prawns, mullets and golden anchovies. We devoured the lunch, and later, Jackie and I sat in the sedan lumbering around the village.
