Change

Jimmy went through the wine menu one last time before he chose a Beaujolais. Only after he had ordered the expensive uncommon vino, did he realize that he didn’t know whether the person who was going to join him would even drink wine. Cursing his irrational thinking process, he decided to take a chance and stick with his call. Drinking wine was nothing to be ashamed about.

The restaurant was dimly lit and honeyed romantic tunes played supporting cast to the several ornamental candles that adorned the tables. This was definitely more a lover’s spot than a rendezvous for two friends. Friends? More like two individuals who used to be friends and have not met each in over 5 years.

Jimmy was growing impatient with every irritating minute that passed by as he waited. He started playing with the fork and his spoon much to the chagrin of the other patrons of the bistro. At one point, he got so loud that he was treated to the harsh cold stares of two sisters who had incidentally come there to bitch about how annoying men were. Jimmy just gave an awkward smile and turned his head down sheepishly towards his empty plate. He was actually feeling a bit hungry.

The last time these two had met, Jimmy was still in college. Final year, in fact. Jimmy was having the time of his life with nothing to do or rather procrastination being his passion. It was under really strange circumstances that they had met for the very first time. They had bumped into each other in a coffee shop, quite literally. Jimmy ended up paying for an extra cup of steaming cappuccino, much to his personal disgust. And he had a coffee stain on his favourite shirt, which was really hard for him since he didn’t have too many shirts he liked. It turned out that they were going to the same interview, which he ended up getting through in. But they had remained in contact ever since.

Jimmy wondered how much he had changed since his days at the university. How he had grown. Evolved. For better or worse. However his life had been a walk in the park compared to what his friend had gone through. Mostly only rumours that he had heard. Still, he had no idea of the person he was going to meet. Moreover, he didn’t know which Jimmy he was going to be – the traditional, sober and intellectual or the fun-loving, partying and happy-go-lucky Jimmy. Personally he hated to pretend to be someone else but as life had taught him, sometimes it is necessary. If not for your sake, atleast for the others’.

Jimmy hated hypocrites. And he positively abhorred himself for being one. He detested that he had to act differently depending upon who was around him. He thought that Man was being an ass when it came to protecting Nature and instead plundering it but at the same time often did not care where he threw his trash. He believed in every person’s right to education but found broken or locally accented English repulsive.

Just across the table, a family of three were having dinner. Looked like they were enjoying themselves. At the outset atleast. Then he realized that there was hardly any conversation. The couple, who looked quite young, was eating with their faces down and the lone son, who had finished his meal a long time ago, was looking at his parents with a forlorn countenance. He looked hardly five years old.

At the table opposite, a smitten pair was enjoying a moment of silence which only those who are really in love can be comfortable with. Sitting close together they ate, morsel by morsel, with brilliant smiles on their glowing faces. “Try as they might they can never define, what’s been said between your heart and mine”. Jimmy hummed the tune to himself. He loved such stupid songs though frankly never had a chance to really understand them.

Jimmy brushed his hair and closed his eyes and smiled. Just as he was about to open his eyes, he heard a vaguely familiar voice, call out and say, “Sorry darling. Got held up. The traffic was really bad.” “Of course, I understand, please sit down.” “Wow, Beaujolais! You have excellent taste!”, she commented as she sat down. “Yes, I somehow knew you would like it”. “So, tell me everything.”

She hadn’t changed a bit.
