Oh! Why didn’t you come for lunch?
You called day before yesterday ,
And said-“I am coming .I will have lunch”.
I was super excited.
Ma made all your favourite dishes.
From morning I was very excited that you were going to come.
We cleaned the house, dusted every nook and corner.
A new dining cloth was laid as it was a grand occasion that you were coming.
Ma had arranged the drawing room beautifully and we were waiting for you.
But when the lunch time came, you didnt come.
We waited and waited.
Then you called and said-” I am not coming for lunch”.
And the line got disconnected.
We called you up several times and it said that the number was switched off.
After waiting for an hour more, we had our lunch.
Then I felt sleepy, so I went to sleep.
In the evening, I woke up and saw that Ma had made bread- jam and milk.
I gobbled it up fast.
After half an hour or so, the intercom bell rang.
The security guy said that someone had come.
The doorbell rang and I opened the door.
It was you who was standing infront of me.
I hugged you tightly.
You said that you were sorry.
And that you were in a hurry.
But Ma and me, we wouldn’t listen.
We ordered that you would have to eat dinner and you could only leave early in the next morning.
Baba came home and you two had a long and deep chat.
Then Ma served dinner, I helped too.
Even after having such a sumptuous dinner, you didn’t tell us that why didn’t you come for lunch.
I got angry with you, but then I remembered that you hardly come so I cooled down my anger.
Then you revealed the reason why you couldn’t come over for lunch.
That’s because you were constipated.
Ha, ha, ha.
Well no problem, constipation is a regular feature in our lives.
Well good night and do sleep tight.
Early in the morning you said bye and went away.
We all had an awesome time, when you were here.
But, who were you?
You were my uncle. Who had gifted me a big cycle in my childhood. Since then my love for you increased three-four times.
Adios!
Before You Travel.
