Chapter 28. Waiter, waiter.
Zeeshan's P. O. V.
I was standing in my room's balcony enjoying the outside view.
" Hello." greeted Samar from behind. I just nodded in response.
" So, how is Ruhi? " I asked him.
" She is not fine. Though she has gained conscious, she is still weak." he informed me.
" Poor kid. " I sighed.
My stomach grumbled. True, I had not eaten anything since two hours. I looked down and saw three four waiters pass by, my room being on the first floor. Right below my room was the club where they were enjoying sea food.
" Waiter. " I shouted from the balcony. Samar's eyes widened.
" What are you doing? " he asked me.
" You are witnessing everything, aren't you? "
The man carrying the tray of Tuna Kebab looked up. Perfect.
" Yes you, what is your name? Or leave it. Come-on get that tray up here in room no. 111. Quick. Don't stare at me. Come. " I ordered.
He stared at me for a couple of seconds more and then shouted, "But sir I am not in the room service duties. "
Are you kidding me?
" Oh master of the island forgive me. " I drawled. " Dude, you are in the customer services. Your customer want you to get it up here. What is the big deal? See I am hungry. Get it fast. Put the bill as Zeeshan Tirupati. " I screamed back.
Then his eyes widened in realization as he mouthed Tirupati trying to remember when he heard it.
" Oh sir. I am sorry sir. I will bring it now. Please wait sir. " he said and vanished from my distance of vision.
" Zeeshan you are so arr........impossible. "
" What? I was hungry and I know you wanted to say arrogant. No problem, I know. " I waved him off.
Then within five minutes the kebab arrived. " Come in. The door is open. " I instructed.
" Sir the kebabs. Sorry sir. " he kept on saying as he placed my hunger destroyer on the table.
" What's the bill? " I asked him.
" Sir. How can I..... " he said.
" Brother, I will not repeat myself again. Bill. " as it is I was mad with hunger.
" Sir 900 rupees. "
I saw him from top to bottom. Clean face, tired eyes, set hair, regular costume and torn shoes. Probably in his twenties. I took out a 2000 rupee note and handed it to him.
" Sir pardon. I will bring the change in no time. " he said while taking the money.
" Keep the change. " I said.
" Sir. " he looked at me as if I had said ' From today I declare you knight of the United Kingdom'
" Thank you sir. " with this he gave a courteous nod and exited the room.
Samar and I attacked the kebabs. After I had eaten like ten of them and had a lion's share from the tray and had burped only then did I realize that my stomach has something in it. Fine I can manage till another two hours easily.
We began chatting. Mind it there is a differance between chatting and gossiping.
" Zeeshan I want to tell you something very important. First promise me that you will not hit me. " Samar said.
I nodded. If he said something terrible then maybe I will hit him.
" I...... I " he stammered.
" Yes, you? " I asked.
" I..... I..... I like Apeksha. "
Oh! He likes Apeksha.
Wait, WHAT??????
" APEKSHA as in MY sister? " I asked him with my eyebrow raised.
" Yes, of course. "
" Really? Have you told her. Or wait have you touched..... "
" NO. " he shouted.
" No as in not told her or not touched her. " I inquired.
" Both. " he said and I sighed.
" Zeeshan, will you help me? "
" Two conditions, Number 1 Apeksha must be happy with you. And number 2, you break her heart and I'll break your bones. Clear? "
" Certainly yes. " he nodded and I searched his face to decipher a lie.
" Did you have had a girlfriend before? " I asked him.
" Yes two-three. "
" Excuse me. " I said, with my kebab hanging in mid air.
" But I am serious about her." he added.
Finally someone really, really does like my sister. Samar is a good person and my friend too. Let my sister enjoy her life. I will help her set her first relationship. Oh yes.
" Fine. But no touchy touchy. " I warned him.
" Sure. "
" So you hitting on April? " he asked me.
" Dude, she is the one hitting on me. " I replied in a sardonic voice.
" And there is this guy, Alexander. They say that he has developed a liking for Navya. Wow. Never knew someone can fall for her too. " he stated.
Well then, as a matter of fact never knew that I can be friends with someone like you too. But as you see miracles do happen.
I felt my stomach churn and tie into knots.
" Navya will never accept him. No. She.... She won't. I am telling you. " I told him while half smirking and shaking my head.
I looked down the balcony to avoid his gaze only to spot someone called Alexander McQueen. What a jerk, I mean who eats a full tray of Salmon fish? Starving meercat. Dumb fellow. Who said his father is rich?
" Is he....... he Alexander. " I asked Samar while pointing at Alexander the Slug.
" Yup. "
" Perfect. " I grinned. Then I shouted, " Oh hoye waiter! Yes you. Why are you looking here and there, you the one wearing black and white shirt. Look here. Up here. "
"But he is Alexander. " Samar warned.
" Shut up. " I shushed him as Alexander finally looked up, actually kind of scowled at me, "You lousy bratt. I am no waiter you...... Zeeshan. Zeeshan Tirupati. " he said in shock.
Yess, that's me. Idiot.
" Oh! McQueen. You are also here. But why did you look up when I said waiter?" I asked him while sounding as calm as the ocean. "Sorry man, but you have strong identity crisis. I was calling the waiter not you. And woah! What's this new trend of eating in the tray. ?" I asked with a pinch of disgust, he immediately kept the tray on the table and coughed. I know I did the same thing but then I am me and he is he.
This is what you get for hitting innocent girls, Alexander the great waiter.
**********
We were sitting outside and eating the dinner. April was sitting beside me and was ranting something about something. I wasn't quite listening to her cause I was busy eating my food. Okay, okay I admit....... I was burning holes on Alexander's head for flirting with Navya. So?
June and Rehan were engrossed into a deep conversation and of course, Rehan was taking full advantage of the situation. Flirt Freak. They were smiling and doing all those stupid things that 'lovers' do. They did look good together though. Suddenly someone banged the table. That someone was: Apeksha. What has happened to her nowadays? She had been acting all wierd. She was never this way.
I stared at her. In seconds she got up and spoke, " I want to go for a walk. I don't want to eat further. "
Okay.
" Fine. I will come with you. Infact I am also done. " Navya said while getting up. At this my eyebrow rose and an idea clicked me. I nudged Samar and with my eyes I gestured towards Apeksha. I think he got the clue.
" I will come with you Apeksha. I also wanted to walk after the dinner. You know it's too for digestion. " Samar said. Good. Now I will play cupid here. I know... I know I am great. Please don't praise me.
Apeksha remained silent then Navya spoke, " But then I also want to go. "
So, why was I born?
" I will go for a walk with you." I said haughtily. " As it is long night walks with a handsome guy can improve the health status. "
I said while showcasing my famous smile to Navya and she just scoffed and rolled her eyes.
Really woman?
" Perfect. " Samar said.
I heard a glass shatter. I glanced at the direction. It was Rehan's glass which now layed broken on the ground.
" Sorry. It slipped. " he apologized.
" Must take care of one's things." Samar proffesed.
" Oh yeah of course or else other people take no time in stealing it." Rehan said. Well said.
" When one leaves it's possession behind and runs after more good looking things then the person is bound to loose that valuable possession for an object that just looked good from outside." Apeksha said. Alright. When did a debate start?
" When the valuable thing does not favour the owner but the other person then why will not the owner run after the other object?" Rehan asked.
" Because the owner is a brainless jerk who never LOVED his valuable possession who took it for granted. "
Apeksha said angrily and by now breathing heavily.
" STOP IT YOU TWO. We were going for a walk, weren't we? It was a mistake not a bloody debate. It's fine guys. Let it go" I snapped now getting far annoyed. Everyone was as if under a shocked spell because of Apeksha's and Rehan's minni debate.
" Let's go. " Apeksha said while looping her hand around Samar's arms and dragging him along. Long live Cupid Zeeshan.
" April will you please remove your hands from around my arms. You see I need to go on a walk. " I said.
" Oooooo... I was having fun with you. Why are you going so soon? " she pouted like a child.
" April, I will come back to you in half an hour. " I said while winking and throwing at her my 'same' drool worthy smile that I threw at Navya.
She sighed, " Promise. "
I am impressed it has an effect on her. At least.
" Promise. But for now I need to go with her. " I said while pointing at Navya's direction. WAIT, WHERE IS SHE? She was far gone not even waited for me. Great.
I quickly hurried and ran behind her.
" Hey, Hey wait. " I shouted.
