Conversation XXVIII

 Farooq... 

"What?"

Finally, I am happy

I am happy to leave the city

I have been immensely tortured here. 

 

Farooq was busy eating oranges;

We sat on the roof

enjoying the bright sunny afternoon

But he did hear my words.

Farooq...? 

--Hmm...

His mouth was filled with oranges. 

His words on the last day were not coherent.

Did you know that I would find the inconsistency? 

Faroq did not reply

He never did

He was a good listener 

but not an eloquent speaker

Farooq completed eating a whole orange

and reached for another one.
