While we were having lunch we had decided that we would spend
the evening at Draupadi. The crowd was good, ambiance attractive, though the music
was nothing exceptional. I had liked the
music of “The CafĂ©” better.
The interesting part about Draupadi was that the restaurant
had huge sea facing French windows and you could simply sit there and enjoy the
sea..
We took mixed sea food fry as snacks, as Anu wanted to have
some local beer with it. I took a few bites of it. But today I was desperately craving
for something sweet. So we ordered a Banoffee Pie which had been recommended in
their menu. It was sinful and I think it would have been a big mistake if we hadn't
had it.
Anu was making fun of me as I had ordered dessert before the
main course but I had to give in to my craving.
Some foreigners were sitting at a table in front of me. It
was a family. The husband was a middle
aged man who was looking too old for his age, his wife/partner was really
beautiful and the man's teenager son was also with them. On seeing the age difference
between the lady and the teenager boy we decided the boy definitely wasn't the
son of the lady.
After observing them for some time we noticed that the teenager boy hardly kept his mouth shut. He just talked, talked and talked. Even
with a mouthful of food he had the strange ability to talk without any problem.
It seemed as if he had been born with a God gifted quality of talking nonstop.
We were amused by his style, gesture and energy, suddenly
Anu asked me, what I would do if we have to bear such a talkative kid. I told
him that I would have to put an ice pack on my head instead of my back J
We were enjoying Greek Crepes for dinner when suddenly a
chocolate cake with candles arrived for the beautiful lady sitting at the table
in front. It was her B’day and the man and the boy had arranged a surprise
treat. The lady was blushing with happiness and it just made her look more
beautiful.
We finished the Greek crepe, but Anu was still a little
hungry. So I suggested that he should take coconut lassi.
In the meantime I went to the beach for a stroll. Actually among
all the good things in such restaurants, there is one disadvantage. People openly
smoke as most of the restaurants have bars. So, yeah as a pregnant woman you
may sometimes feel uneasy..
As I was taking in some fresh air in the beach a British guy named Sam came over and introduced
himself to me. Sam was pretty drunk and he told me that he and his friends along
with some local people had lit a bonfire and they were enjoying fireworks on
the beach. I saw that the bonfire was pretty close to where we were standing
and Sam now wanted me to join.
I declined, as I am prego and had come with my husband. Sam was desperate (every drunk guy is always
desperate). He requested me to come with my hubby, and so I pacified him by telling
that I would surely come. I was pretty confident that like all desperate drunk people
he too had a short term memory and would
soon forget about me.
After that I noticed
that Sam was going to almost all the tables in Draupadi where girls were
sitting and requesting them to join the party.
I don’t know the rest of
the story but throughout the night we were able to hear the sound of their fire
crackers. I just prayed to GOD that Sam and his friends should end up in jail
for disturbing the peace of such a nice place. But I don’t think it was not
granted L
This much for today……
