Life is in Moments!

Just a small true episode! All real-life episodes will be posted under this title. I hope I find more!

"Hi darling!" As usual, he calls her around 1.30 pm.
"Hey there... wassup dude... hahahaha". She's bubbling because she has not much work in office.
"I just called to say 'I love you'" He sings. "Done with lunch?"
"Yes, I'm done... what about you?"
"Hmmm just had a quick bite. Nothing great!"
"That means you didn't have a proper lunch again today." She sighed sadly.
"Its ok... Anyways I wanted to tell you about a new scheme in my office. Our employees can purchase any book for Re.1. The offer has been brought to us by Crosswords,
exclusively for our Company folks. I know how much you like to read so I thought I should tell you this..."
"Oh my God!!! Are you serious? How many titles are there? Which books are there as a part of the scheme? Do they have Jane Austen? What about Sidney Sheldon?"
"Hahaha... Hold on! Well, I'm not sure about the titles, but there should be a good collection!"
"Hmmm! Oh well, take all of them... Any title, any author! Please please please!" She's completely exuberant.
"Yes Shona, I'll take all of them".
Two weeks later.
"Hey what happened about those books?"
"Hmm... Oh... Ahan...Yes darling! I have told them, they'll get them soon."
One month later.
"Those books still haven't come... that is so sad ya!"
"Oh... yeah... they should come by next month dear"
Two months passed by.
"Hey kiddo, come inside the car and see whats there on the backseat!"
"Mammaaaaaaaaaaaaa... Are you kidding me? They're all mine??? Oh my God! Jane Austen! I love you darling!" She gives the books a tight hug.
"Yes Shona, they're all yours!" He smiles.
Four weeks later.
"Did you get the tickets for the movie?"
"No, I didn't. I'm sorry."
"What sorry! You should have booked them in advance. I had warned you, this is so bad!" She's completely disappointed.
"Yeah... I'm sorry, where do we go next?" He's at fault and is trying to make up for it.
"I dont know and I don't care" Angrily.
"Ok do me a favor, please take my wallet and pay the parking fellow, while I drive the car."
"Hmm" Still angry. "How much?"
"30"
"Done" She does not want to spoil the Friday mood so she smiles again, not a complete smile though. "You seem to be a rich guy! Lots of credit cards and cash...
Hahahahahahaha" She's being a little sarcastic, attempting to pull his leg.
"Hmmm". He smirks!
"Can I look into your wallet?"
"Its all yours". He gives a heart-warming smile.
"Parking tickets, bills... God! Your wallet is messy."
"Hmmm... See and throw the unwanted please... Shona" He looks at her and again gives an apologetic smile.
"Shoe bill, parking ticket, parking ticket, parking ticket, Provogue, petrol bill...You need all this?"
"Only petrol bills". Smiles again.
"This is ... Crosswords bill????"
s"Give that to me!!!" He Snatches the bill and tears the paper into 3 bits.
"Stop it!!!! What is it??? Show it! Right now! Else I'll get down from the car right in the middle of the street." She yells.
"Dammit!!! It's nothing!" He yells back.
He gives the 3 bits to her unhappily. The paper is totally crumpled. She re-assembles them and is completely flabbergasted.
"You lied to me!!! You bought all those books from Crosswords... For their original prices!!! Why????? I hate you! I hate you! You liar! Scoundrel!"
"Shona please please understand me! I beg of you. I'm sorry. I lied but I had to."
"Why????????" She screams on top of her voice. The people in the neighbouring cars are all looking at them. She is vexed.
"Shona... Shona... I forgot when you asked me to order the books, I didn't place the order on time and then... I knew how much those books meant... to you... I just
... I just wanted you to have them. Please I beg, I'm sorry"
"You spent Rs.3000 on books. These books! I could have read them anytime and bought them one at a time. You could have just told me."
"Shona I... Please forget it! They're a gift... From me to my Shona. I love you baby, I'm sorry. I never meant to..."
"Gosh... Honey... I don't know what to...!" She chokes. Tears gushing.
Life lies in all these small moments.
