Call counter for the booth phone<br />
Hanuman’s picture<br />
Suddenly Axle felt something wrong with one of the<br />
l<strong>at</strong>est objects and retraced the trajectory of his eyes.<br />
Hanuman’s picture (nothing wrong there)<br />
Call counter for the booth phone (7347 seconds 351 rs)<br />
“Are bhaiya yeh counter kharaab hai kya??”<br />
“Nahi bhaiya. Ekdum perfecttt chalu hai. Ee to woh<br />
andar wale bhaiya hai. Do tho ghante se andar baithe<br />
ba<strong>at</strong> kar rahe hai. Aapke pahle ek aur bhaiya baithe the<br />
40 min. Phir uth ke chal diye.”<br />
“Perfect” Axle said to himself. The words utterred by<br />
charu gupta suddenly started making a lot of sense.<br />
Those were for the guy sitting inside the glass booth.<br />
Cursing bene<strong>at</strong>h his bre<strong>at</strong>h Axle was getting extremely<br />
imp<strong>at</strong>ient. He was shaking his legs uncontrollably and<br />
looking here and there <strong>at</strong> a frantic pace. He continued<br />
this for a while and finally got tired and relaxed a bit<br />
when the meter got to 7757sec. He could hear muffled<br />
voices from the guy inside the booth.<br />
“No…………….i…..didn’t…..go…….……..th<strong>at</strong>…girl………………….<br />
she……………nothing……………………you everything”<br />
“Are maan jao bhabhi jee” Axle uttered under his bre<strong>at</strong>h<br />
with his hands outstretched and looking upwards. He<br />
seriously was in a nick of time.<br />
“Bhaiya bahut haste hai aap” Axle said out loud to the<br />
young <strong>at</strong>tendant who apparently had heard him utter<br />
those words.
