Barter-the life is- 8 Booster

,"No, there is no catch, both the facts are true...and that too excluding foreplay and that ridiculous after-play,". Bansi spoke.

Vipin opened his mouth to say something, but just then someone announced in a loud voice ,"We just have an hour or so gentlemen, so make most of it,". Bansi turned behind to see who he was and found it was Samar, standing on a table situated almost in the middle of the lawn. ,"Need I explain that?," He further added. 

Bansi turned towards Vipin and found him staring with an open mouth and wide eyes. His facial expressions resembled those of someone who got stuck in an elevator on his very first visit.

,"Hey Govind," Bansi could only whisper to himself, though he kept looking at Vipin as if something catastrophic is about to be delivered any moment, off course with his fingers crossed.

On the other hand, Vipin appeared soul-less, utterly dumbstruck.

At one point or the other in life, all of us find ourselves standing at such a juncture where taking a decision is however, least difficult yet we create a dilemma out of it, unnecessarily.

Bansi sensed that Vipin is at his wits' end just for nothing. On the other hand, he didn't want to take a decision for Vipin. Bansi also knew that it was a vulnerable moment and what Vipin needed was only a feeble suggestion to take either turn. He also noticed Vipin put both his hands on table and it was clear that he was going to get up.

,"Cottages and parties shall always be there,". Though shaken inside, in a plain voice Bansi uttered, without losing sight of Vipin. Hearing it, Vipin aborted his attempt to get up mid-way and let loose of himself, falling back at the chair.

,"Is it the right moment to continue on the topic with him?," Bansi thought. ,"Let's see,". He assured himself.

,"Excuse me," Vipin got up with a jerk and turned aside. Bansi, without having any second thought, also jumped up from his seat in such an abrupt manner that he spotted a snake crawling under the table. ,"Hello,' was only thing he could speak and his right hand moved ahead to grab Vipin from behind.

,"I am going to washroom," He turned towards Bansi and said but he found Bansi abnormally closer. That was strange for him so he said ,"Yes, ...,". 

,"No..nothing, I also have to,". Bansi replied, maintaining composure.

On way towards washroom, Vipin asked ,"What should I do? ....What is the right course in fact,".

A wide grin, the widest it could be, appeared on Bansi's face, as if a fountain sprang inside him. Bansi appeared at his happiest best. Perhaps, like a father who hashears his infant child uttering Dad or Papa, for the first time.

,"Are you worried about what your friends would say tomorrow?," Bansi asked like he wanna ensure himself of the level of patience and perseverance in Vipin.

,"Hell with them, I am least bothered about that," Vipin replied, moving his head aside.

,"But tell me one thing sir, you stopped me today...and I am thankful for that...hope you understand and are not going to take it otherwise...,". Vipin halted a few steps before the washroom entrance and looked at Bansi in an inquisitive manner.

,"Do you know what I am looking for?," He shot the question as if it was impossible to handle for Bansi. On the other hand, it resulted in a wider than the earlier widest smile on Bansi's face because it was something he was waiting to happen for all this while. Bansi couldn't stop anymore his ecstatic and uncontrollable  laugh waiting for a let out for quite long. As if in a trance, with eyes half opened, Bansi put both his hands on Vipin's shoulders and told him ,"Who am I to save or not to, my dear. It all happens only by His Grace. And listen, I...., only by His purposeless, unconditional  and all pervading Grace, not only know but also have witnessed myself, what you are looking for,".

,"What the hell this man is made of?," Vipin could thought only this much as the call of nature prompted him to get into the washroom as soon as possible.
