B was in love with S. And would do anything to get him. And everyone around knew that as well. And so, bastards that they were, they used to take B for a ride. They would go to B and say "S was wanting to go for the latest Amitabh flick." And B will beg them to ask S to take B along. And they will hem and haw and confer and strategise till B will tell them that there was a big treat waiting for them if they can convince S. And then they would troupe to S and beg him to take B, to somehow sit through the 3 hours for the gastronomical good of the majority. And S would go and not talk to anyone for the next 3 days.
This went on for some time. But it seemed that B wanted more. And the fates arranged for a situation where it became suddenly possible for B to have S completely. It so happened that B's parents were going on a 10 day trip to Sikkim and B had the run of the house. And so B called all S's 'friends' for lunch one day, plied them with food and begged them to convince S to spend a night there. B had some contacts in high places and promises of jobs and substantial donations for that year's pujas were hinted at. And so, they took on the love brokerage.
These guys came and it was long hard and bitter battle. S stood his ground, refusing to be pimped around but his friends were up to it. They tried ridicule (can't you handle B for one night you wimp). They tried cajoling (just a night yaar. dont do anything if you dont want to). They tried emotional blackmail (think of T yaar, he will get the job if you do this). They even tried threats (boss if you are so adamant then we have issues about your loyalty towards friends). Whatever factor it was due to, or perhaps because he was so sick of this whole thing and wanted to put an end to it all, S finally agreed.
D day came. S didn't come. A frantic B called up all his friends and asked them to find him and bring him home. B also expressed doubts about the abilty of these guys to organise the next year's pujas. If they cant convince one guy how did they think they are going to convince the people in the neighborhood to part with donations, B was heard muttering. Tempers frayed. Decisions were taken. Everyone bayed for S's blood.
When they reached his place they found a crowd outside. They pushed inside. S was hanging from the ceiling fan.
Drastic you think? You see, B was a man.

o henry knocking? but i kinda liked it. but maybe, just maybe the ending could have been written in such a way that you didn't have to spell out the twist. the denouement could have been more subtle. eh?
hmm. saddish. but when you first said B and S i though BS...
"just a night yaar. dont do anything if you dont want to"
why should S spend a night? how dare B and his cronies propose that?
i am sounding conservative. and i am proud of it.
sayantani: yeah the ending is rotten but i had a meeting in 5 minutes.
scout: what is BS?
ghetu: ki likhli kichui bujhlam na
Amidst all this ABCD can we have a good story!
As for the morality. What is wrong in B (a man) and S(a woman) spending a night together.
Ghetu: What is happening to you? Chunilal will not like this.
BS = Bull Shit
shuv,
tomar lekha jaa hi-fi hoye jacche din ke din, aamio kichui bujhte parchi naa.
kaushik,
i still don't like it. chunilal is also pretty conservative i think, his name says all.
All: Whats the difference b/w a dog and a human??
