Customer (to her friend): Let’s go to cafe “Room no 13”, I heard that the interior is very nice there. It will be a nice place to click pictures.
After they entered,
Welcome Ma’am.
Customer: Excuse me menu, please.
Waiter: Yes Ma’am.
Customer (After viewing the menu): What to order, everything seems delicious in the pictures.
Excuse me, give us the best dish or anything we can from this cafe?
Waiter: Okay Ma’am.
(After few minutes)
Waiter: Excuse me Ma’am, your order.
Customer: What is this, ‘A cup of tea and a cigarette’?
Waiter: Yes, Ma’am, You have ordered the best dish and this drink I mean the tea is the best and we ask a cigarette too with that tea.
Customer: Is this a joke? Please call your owner.
Waiter: Ma’am, we are sorry. No one is here, they are out of station.
Customer: They? What are you mean that?
Waiter: Yes ma’am, this cafe has three owners.
Customer (by screaming): Then call atleast one of them.
Waiter: Okay ma’am.
(After a couple of minutes)
Waiter: Ma’am, owners are coming please wait for some time.
(After an hour)
Two women arrived, one of the two had “Patricia look” beautiful and elegant as always and another one was dressed in a smart navy blue suit.
Owner 1: Hello, ma’am
We are the owner. How may we help you?
Customer (again screaming): Is this a joke? A cup of tea is your best drink! How’s that possible? And apart from that you guys are offering us cigarette with it? You guys are insulting your customer.
Owner 2: No, ma’am; we are not insulting our customer. Believe me this is our best drink, if you guys don’t smoke then leave the cigarette and have a cup of tea.
Owner 1: Yes ma’am, it is a humble request from both of us.
Customer: Okay fine. If you guys are insisting like this then okay.
(After having a cup of tea)
Customer: Agreed, the tea is really good to taste. Sorry for the behaviour. But we have a query.
Owner 1: Sure ma’am.
Customer: Why a cup of tea?
Owner 2: Well, then you have to listen a small story.
Customer: Yes, we have much time.
(Both the owner looked at each other and smiled)
Owner 1: You know Room No. 13 is not just a name of a cafe, once it was a hostel room or you may say a small part of life of three girls. A golden cage, with uncountable memories; although 13 itself is a unlucky number but for them this 13 is a lucky charm.
Customer: A hostel room, golden cage, three girls! What do all these mean?
Owner 2: Yes a hostel room.
Their morning starts with ringing of alarm, “jisne lagaya hain woh so raha hain aur baki dono ka neend gaya. One of them are screams at the 3rd one – “Guddi alarm bandh kr de please”
Don’t look at us like this she was an architecture student,she used to work till late night.
Customers(looking at each other and smiling)
Owner1: Okay so where we stopped, Guddi did stop the alarm and the two woke up. One of them used to smoke so she went to the balcony and started smoking.
One thing I forgot to tell you. One of them was senior (owner1 is smiling) you guys are thinking, how does that possible, senior-junior wala bonding, which doesn’t make any much logic. “Guys duniya meh kabhi kabhi logic nehi magic kam karta hain, yeh wohi magic wala bonding hain”.
Customers (smiling)
Owner 2: So one in the balcony was smoking. The elder one screamed “ Shiropa kitni bar kaha hain subha mat fuka kar”.
Then both of them got freshen up, had some breakfast and went to the department. While going both of them shouted “Guddi bye, department jana hain uth jah”. Then in the evening, after they came back from classes...
Owner1
(Intermeddling): One thing, apart from Guddi the two were from the same department.
(Looking at the 2nd owner, you carry on.)
Owner 2: Guddi hugging from behind “ didivai pata hain aaj kya hua, aaj Gazi neh bohot taraf kiya”, the other one from side “ Gazi, kaun Gazi, woh chotu dikhne wala professor, jiska height tere jaisa hain”. Guddi “ tujhe mar dalungi chutiya saali”.
(Owner 2 smiled)
After that they had a small conversation and went for so-called attendance. After coming back to room Dimpi, the elder one “Chal fuk lete hain thoda, chai piyegi kya”, two looking at other – yes why not. Then they went to balcony and had a cup of tea with sutta.
Customers (smiling and asked with curiosity): After that,
Owner 1: Then what, it was their dinner time so they were going to have their dinner...
Unexpectedly someone hugged from behind and asking, “ Oye kaise ho tum log, kya reh Shiropa aur kitna chutiyapa karega tu, didivai pata hain aaj kya hua......”
Customers
(Look at them with bug-eyed): OMG! Those three girls are you guys and this cup of tea is your speciality (looked at owner 1 and said).
Owner 3: Yes we are the three girls and this cafe “Room No. 13” used to be our hostel room.
Owner 2: And yes, a cup of tea is her speciality.
(Looked at owner 3 and said) Did you remember exam ke time dimpi ki chai aur chai k saath company dene wala sutta and three of us. Those memories are really precious.
Owner 3 (grinning): Didivai ek cup chai ke saath sutta hojaye?
Eventually, all of them ended up having a cup of tea with cigarettes and of course, clicked pictures with the interiors.
