A phone call from an old aquaintance/colleague:

“Hi” – a hesitant male voice before telling me his name.

“Hi to you too”

“So how are you?”

“Good.”

“I saw you in Kerala sometime ago”

“Really? In February?”

“Yeah. At the Kovalam beach. You were with some guy there, I thought of saying Hi, but decided not to interrupt you”

“Thank You. You see, I was on my honeymoon”

“Really, congrats”

“Thank You”

Pause.

Longer Pause.

“So, erm, who was the guy with you on the beach?”

“!!!”
