drabble #2: double dribble, er, drabble


"So sad. Ah well, back to work. Its always someone else. But its a completely different matter if it happens to you.", said the voice at the other end of the phone.

"But what happened? I didn't hear from you all day. Was it an accident?", I asked, worried.

"Nah, nothing like that. Those things happen to other people."

"Then what? You fell in love, didn't you?"

"For what, the millionth time? How is that even a new occurrence?"

"Then what? Got stuck in the rain without an umbrella?"

"No."

"Got pushed out of the train by an angry woman with three babies, one on each arm, and the third dangling by her neck with a cartload of fish by her side?"

"No."
I could feel her smiling that wry smile of hers on the other side of the receiver.

"At least give me a hint. Is it good or bad?"

"Well, its not a particularly nice experience..."

"Theft?"

"No."

"Fraud."

"No."

"Rape?"

"No! Have you gone nuts?"

"I give up. What happened? Tell me. Else I shall die of either impatience or old age. Most probably old age. But still..."

"Nope. Guess."

"Oh, come on..."

"Loose motion..."
