It is precious

He was shocked.. how could he let that precious little thing slip out of his hands.. Now what should he do? How can he be so irresponsible? Idiot! Don't you still know how to hold on to a thing. Confusion combined with despair ran cold through his spine. At the same time his mind raced on ways to salvage the situation. It was repulsive, it was point of no return. He blamed the entire episode to the drinks last night. The mind was still numb from all the effects of cheap liquor, but thats all you can find in this dry part of India. His reflex sure was affected in a big way or should he blame it on its contours..All this happened when he was just usurping the soft and the virgin fragrance.
He stood staring at it. Should he run out to get something to help him to get it out..but what if somebody comes in at the meantime..Well now the question racing inside him was how to retrieve it. Nobody might have done it… He will be the first one to do this..Then without any further thinking he scooped at the item.. his fingers reached the unfathomable virgin hole and with one swift action gathered it… So disgusting was his actions that he could taste the bile on his tongue, but there was a sense of achievement. He could use the money saved to buy a lunch. He will double it up with his usual lunch expense to get a sumptuous meal.. That was not bad.. after five minutes of thorough cleansing he smelled it again and closed his eyes relaxed to get in as much of that virgin fragrance. He swayed.. He got out with a resolution.. to buy a soap case for this expensive soap.. At this time of the year during summer season in Ahmedabad when water is scarce, he may not be able to retrieve such a beauty from the bowels of a eastern commode…
