The cute couple for a cup of coffee | Samdrup Jongkhar

Holy rabies! zing can also happen in Samdrup Jongkhar. zing! zing!

I spotted a young couple on a date today. Other times, it is granny and grandpa on street. And sometimes, weirdo-matched couples: old-young, and young –old, a total unfit jigsaw, are seen swinging their hands on the pathways.

And also, single like me stray around at these odd hours to study sociology practically. I am pragmatic in nature.

Everyone should agree that COVID has saved many families in the town from breaking. Everyone comes out on the street face-masked. Even if a husband and wife cross each other with their boyfriend and girlfriend, whoops! They would not know that it is their alter-ego.  Thank you, FACEMASKS!!!

Well, my struggle remains around losing weight. Taking walks, running, and intermittent fasting like the Thai monks. However, none of these worked.  I remain unmoved.  But, I stick to my commitment. So, I go for a walk every evening, check on every person walking on the street, eye-shop goods, and sometimes steal girls’ gaze-I am really good at it, believe me.

Same time, today, I walked on the street, moved around, watched the people, and stopped by a bakery to chug a cup of coffee- sugarless, black heavy- milk coffee, fat sensitive! This is where a cute couple made a shy and innocent entry into the bakery.

A cup of coffee is five minutes; I don’t sip but chug and make it three times. I am stingy regarding time. I learned this after I have begun to earn.  

But, I sipped the coffee today. My eye followed the couple’s feet. They sat at the next table. I side-watched them with full interest like I have to give an exam on them tomorrow. My ears were all to them.

Their love is just growing. I can make it out by their distance-it was five feet away.

I laughed aloud inside. Love is a thing!

I snake-slithered out.
