His and hers..

After a long run John came home late at 11.43pm, he tried opening the door already half slept… before the sound of the keys entering the lock, his pet Labrador smelled him and started woofing from the other side of the door, “I’m coming spooky!” with a mild voice and a smile on his face, which only shows up for his loved ones…John opened the door, completely drained… placing his briefcase case in the sofa and now the phone started ringing, “it should be her…” taking a depth breath john picked the call, “Susie you must be sleeping?” no words from the other end, “Sunshine! Still there?” and that word lightened Susie, a high school teacher, sharp eyed. “don’t call me sunshine john, you are always away from my sun light!” that little phony fight again… call lasted for just 6mins, and john slept while she kept speaking, Susie had to hang-up the call with the same text message: “You did it for 116^th time, sleep tight!”...

When the morning rays entered thru the unlocked window, spooky was running around the hallway. John started the day with a toast and an egg roll, getting ready for another long day. John, 27, young sales manager of a private organization, a charismatic person carrying a big dream of starting his own business. When he took the keys to leave home, spooky ran toward him to get a warm hug and john tapped on its back saying “be safe big boy, see you tonight” … doors locked for the day.

While waiting for the cab, he phoned to her, when he dialed the ring, john could already feel the sound of her voice, smile in his mind… Susie picked the call “Morning John, you must be in office?” … john with a big beam “hey sunshine!! Good morning, am starting to the office”... that word sunshine lit up Susie again... “Have a good day john, I gotta rush, class is about to start” school teachers are always ultra busy in the morning, “you too!” john placed the call off. When the cab started to roll down, john sent a text as: “I know you are super busy in the morning, but I want to start my day with your wishes” … he reached the office and held himself firm enough for the tough day, but john loved it, yes…. Making sales, meeting new people every day, speeding up towards the targets these things kept accelerating him every day, more than Susie, of course…. John displays a complete different personality when he steps into the office, when he starts pitching for the sales he keeps his mind in meditation and gives another good shot!

When the day is half ran… he flashed his mobile phone to see the time, message popped from Susie “dinner?” John smiled and hustled up to another meeting. After few meetings the day came to an end, signing off from the office.

At the hotel, Susie was already there at the same place where they usually meet. He came around her holding her shoulders kissing in her head “sorry I’m late again, you know it’s a big day! Did you ordered for me?” … Susan sighs.. John smiled and said “what happen!?” Susan was not ready to reply, turned her face away, starring at the traffic lights thru the hotel glass…. “Are we good sunshine?!” John with a soft nod…

“No John! I’m not ready for this, you must understand I’m already heart-broken” with a vague impression Susan closed the conversation and got out of the hotel and he was not surprised as this happens every now and then…. She walked aggressively towards the road, not noticing a speeding car came out of nowhere, and then it slammed into her. she screamed as it knocked her hard with a drifting sound, and thrust her onto the pavement. John saw her thru the hotel glass and .. Needless-to-say … shouted “Jesus! Susiee…!!”
