Embarassed
EMBARRASSED
I met him in my cousin-sister’s place.
He was playing with her kids in vigor.
Sister was watching with glowing face.
She introduced me as her new neighbor.
I as in regular touch with my sister.
On office trip her husband was out off and on.
I tried to lend a helping hand to her,
when she had to stay all alone.
Onward when I visited my sister
I chanced to meet him and interacted.
A handsome guy holding nice nature,
But I never felt attracted.
After college hours direct from railway station
On short visit I used to drop to my sister.
In our young days, there was no facility of phone.
Only approach of introvert lovers happened though letter.
That afternoon I just got down from the train.
The guy blocked my path and said ‘Please!’
I was astonished. He looked so strained.
He finished’ Will you kindly take this?’
He held a closed envelope in his hand.
I was puzzled. I had no interest.
What to do? I just could not stand.
Next came up my most embarrassing moment.
He explained ‘I love your sister.
We are exposed. I am scared of scandal.
Please do me this favor.
Hand over this letter to her: urgent and confidential.’
