April means summer. Stupid… Stupid… Stupid… it means SPRING… the trees with the new foliage, flowers blooming… it seems fine…
This April fooling someone was not on my mind, not even remotely. And its only the 1st of April that one is supposed to play dirty pranks on everyone … for me the day came and went by just like any other day.
It was just the other day when Boon was about to leave when I did the much belated April Fool thing to him!
Its very routine for Boon to come to our home directly after work and share a few drinks & smoke with Nirav and leaves by nine-ish.
On that day he decided to leave early as he had to take back home some chicken. And then the devil in me came up! I asked him to finish of his drink before leaving. He was certain that he had done the “bottoms up” to his drink but I insisted that he hadn’t finished. After adjusting his ear phones to his cells phone he turned around took the glass and gulped it only to realize that it was empty! And I shouted APRIL FOOL!!!
We all had a good laugh and he left…
I was thrilled like a kid to have played a prank after so long.
I completely forgot about this episode and got back to my regular life as the days passed. Yesterday afternoon I received an sms from him. He seemed annoyed with me. He mentioned in his sms that if I don’t like his coming to our house so regularly I should tell him on his face directly. I was taken aback to read this and thought of all the possibilities, if I had something rudely in the last few days. I thought for a long time and couldn’t find any reason. I immediately buzzed him. He took a long time to answer. And when he did he just said one thing, “Are you the only one who can fool people in April?”!!!!!!
That was fun! Its like the saying….what goes around … comes around!
