Kirti's Boyfriend
It was a rainy Thursday evening, and the unanimous decision was to have beer. We decided to call Kirti over. 3 of us called Kirti but the calls went unanswered. After an our and 2 beers each, I got a call from Kirti. A strange voice asked me who I am. I asked (and as DADA likes to put it) - 'Who are you?' instead of 'Who is it?', as the person on the other side of the phone was definitely not the polished kind. Here is an account of what I remember of our telephonic conversation.
Me: Who is it?
Random Guy: Kaun bol re? Who are you?
Me: Who are you?
Random Guy: You say, who are you, first of all?
Me: I am Kirti's friend. And who are you?
Random Guy: I am Kirti's boyfriend.
(This came as a surprise to me as we did not know Kirti had a boyfriend. This is when I decided to go on speaker)
Me: Kirti's boyfriend? Are you sure?
Randon Guy: Yes, what do you want, first of all?
Me: I want to speak to Kirti.
Random Guy: Who are you, first of all?
(He was clearly suffering from a first-of-all syndrome. This is when somebody woke up, and informed that Kirti lost the cellphone 2 months back)
Me: Please give the phone to Kirti. This phone does not belong to you.
Random Guy: Hai Kirti meri girlfriend. Kya fijool baataan karte?
Me: How is that possible? Kirti is a boy. And the phone is stolen.
Random Guy disconnects.
What followed this are more calls to 'Kirti' about the stolen phone and SIM card, and interrogations by a certain Inspector 'Guy'tonde. Unfortunately, when I call on the number now, a girl takes the call and says - 'The number you are trying to reach is currently switched off'.
And I was right about his orientation. Kirti does not have a boyfriend, after all. Moreover, he is not someone's girlfriend. Thankfully!
