The relief of having completed the training program could be seen on the face of the trainees. They had successfully passed the main exam. Fresh from college, a gruelling 4 month experience had made them see a lot of ups and downs. They had been amidst passes and failures alike. The batch party was about to start. The Batch owner, a towering figure, walked into the hall amidst a lot of boos. He managed to have a sheepish grin on his face and looked more like a doll. He was not exactly the popular of figures, his demeanor not being amicable; the students were not exactly happy with the way he handled them.
"When is this *^&%$#@ batch party commencing?" remarked my friend.
"I hope it is on soon", I replied, shifting myself to another chair, to enable me to get a better view of the proceedings. "Hey....There's your girl, man", I started to pull my friend towards seeing this lovely female dressed in orange.
"Good Evening, Everyone! . I would like to thank you all.....", the Batch Owner commence the prologues.
"Man, she looks great today", drooled my friend. I chanced this occasion to have a glimpse of the female in orange. "She does look beautiful dude".
"Of course she would, that's taste my friend", prided my friend.
"Hey, she is still not yours", I pointed out.
"Taste is taste, my dear. That's class", my friend replied, smiling.
"On this occasion of the first batch at........"
"Can't he just finish it off? I am already hungry", I chided.
"This is the last occasion where he can talk something and get away with it. Let him, for one last time, talk", my friend replied.
Not wanting to see him, I then turned my head to the female in orange. I couldn't remember her name, although I never made an attempt to find that out. 'Nature and its beautiful beings are to be admired', I thought.
"The following members will receive awards for their excellent performances in the training programs", the Batch Owner readied himself to call out the names.
"Here go the studious ones. I bet they wouldn't know how the outside world looks", my friend remarked with a tone of anger.
"Who cares, anyway? Hey, what about a party tonight? For completing the training successfully? What say, dude?", feeling good about the idea of a party. Party meant booze and hangovers, of which I loved the former. I was chugging him in.
"No man, not today. We have a session after this entire program, to inform us about our postings".
"We can go in the night, then", I quipped. I was getting annoyed with the fact that it had been ages since I had drunk and I wanted to feel the heat of it. I was not a drunkard, but I loved the idea of passing out. I also loved the idea of calling up my girlfriend when drunk, and talking things. My friends were unaware of the existence of my relationship. I had managed to hide it all the way through. My girlfriend, it was a comforting thought to think about her. Inspite of the umpteen fights we have, we still manage to fight more. It was pretty amusing and my thoughts wandered off to my girl. I loved her. It had been quite sometime since we had met. I was planning to go to my hometown once the postings were to be released. I then gleamed about the opportunity of getting to meet my girlfriend.
"Tea Time folks!". The whole audi reverberated with a sign of exasperation as the batch owner finally called for tea. I was in a world of my thoughts, which were harshly halted in its steps.
"There she goes, my pretty one!". My friend remarked on seeing the girl in orange. Girls are girls. And boys love seeing them. A missing gospel truth, I suppose. My eyes then shifted from the orange one to a blue one, which was quite plump to look at, but had this cute dimple. My girl too had a dimple, not a big one, small, but it was beautiful in its place.
