IXX Shame, Shame, I love you !

Children at the Santiniketan School were animated no end, someone had whispered into their ears that Daniel had given Annie a letter with the words ‘I love you’ scribbled on it and one of the girls who discussed the issue decided not to allow Daniel go Scot free for his dirty action and so went on a whispering mission asking the entire classroom to come together and at a signal shout the words “Shame, Shame I love you! Shame, Shame, I love you”! together until Daniel apologised and soon the planned chorus started the entire class 1 A started shouting 'Shame, Shame I love You! Shame, Shame I Love You'! The chorus had its ups and down with with some venturing to go near Daniel and shout the words out but Daniel simply looked at what was going on and soon he too joined the chorus least realising it was actually against him.

Poor little Annie was the only one who was left confounded as to how to react and then she did the only thing she knew best - She started crying muttering to herself ‘I hate Danny, I hate Danny’ and threw the piece of paper he had given her.

Daniel jesudasan? Danny heard his name being called out, he looked around to see where or how on earth did Mrs. Sorelily, his class teacher, managed to land at Boston ? Daniel jesudasan? This time the sound was closer, Daniel opened his eyes and realised it was the paging system at the St. Auburn hospital calling out his name, he soon realised he was not in Santiniketan and rushed to the information desk and introduced himself saying he was Daniel, soon he also saw Rachel, Annie's friend walking towards him with a tired smile on her face, She informed Daniel “you may now go see her”, as she removed a glove from her hand and then picked up a visitor tag and gave it to him while also informing him that Annie was shifted to room number 0209 and that she was still a bit drowsy bur she would in all probability be discharged in a few hours say by dinner time and that she would need at least a weeks complete rest with a full time nurse to attend on her until recovery. 

Danny, nodded his head to mean Ok and Thanked Rachel and then moved towards room # 0209 going by the directions on the corridor wall, soon he found it, knocked on the door and found a nurse coming out, he smiled at her and asked if he could go in she said Yes and so He stepped in. 

To his surprise Annie was already awake, looked a bit weak, looking as an author would have put it  'reductive' but otherwise smiling and somehow amused the moment she saw him, he returned her smile as he saw gesturing with her hands asking him to come and sit beside her on the bed. Danny enquired if she wanted anything, maybe water ? Annie smiled again and said ‘don’t be a moron Dan I’m not supposed to have anything for a another few hours at least’ Danny gave her a mock feeling of pain and then asked her what was all the action about? knowing even while asking what it was but feigning ignorance, Annie wasn’t someone to be fooled by all that so instead of replying started talking in a low but firm tone ‘listen, take a cab head straight to my pad, here are the keys, you’ll find a travel bag somewhere in the mess, pack some decent stuff that I can wear for a formal occasion, don’t forget to also pack my undergarments and yes pick up the tickets and finally bring my mobile phone, the charger and my laptop’ and then she kicked Dan on the butt playfully and without making a sound said ‘Go’ – Dan was about to protest, he was about to tell her what Rachel had told him about rest etc. but later knew it wasn’t worth wasting his energy on those things ‘coz he also knew Annie would simply not listen and as expected Annie was in no mood to allow Dan even those few minutes to think or react, she just pushed him Dan shook his head, swore under his breath and soon was out cussing.

It was around 11.0 in the night Danny was driving back home in his Chevy, he had just dropped Annie at a place near Storrow Drive where She was picked up by a hugely relieved Prof. Bernstein and then they were off to the Airport on their way to Oxford, London.

Danny was left with all hospital papers and bills thrown on his back seat, Annie had told him ‘ just keep them, may need them maybe for a week’ and then waved him a kiss with her lips curled simultaneously indicating that she would call once she lands at London before getting into the Professor's cab.

Eastern Boston had by then drawn the shutters and getting set for a good warm night, the man on the radio too had sobered down his pitch as he played a Bob Dylan number, Danny realised he needed to sleep.
