Metro station fully crowded, something I hadn't hoped for but was getting used to. It was pretty hot in Delhi during summer but on this particular day I was almost roasted. I was behind a big crowd waiting to get out of this place looking around & definitely not enjoying this brutal weather. Even the a/c in the metro wasn't able to provide any cooling. The person infront of me wasn't able to put his token in the exit slot & I was really getting a bit frustrated now.
Someone from the metro department who was standing nearby came & helped him. Atlast I was out of this crowded oven.
I just stood underneath a big fan for awhile to get myself a bit cooled down then headed my way. The walk from metro station to the massage parlour normally takes 10 minutes but for some reason today on this hot day under the sun it took me almost 20 minutes. How about that, this heat even made me slow.
I finally reached the parlour, it was not a really big or famous place but rather it was mostly for the upper middle class people due to its fairly moderate rates. The lady at the front desk saw me & gave me a warm smile & I reciprocated it.
''How are you today?'' she asked me giving me that big pleasing smile. "I'm roasted."
She laughed a little "the weather is really hot today," I just looked around, it was fairly cooler inside & she was sitting in a fully a/c room. I thought she should go & take a walk outside to know what the weather really is like. "Yeah! It is pretty hot outside."
She just nodded at that, "So you want your regular massage?"
"Yeah, I just want a nice back massage. Its been awhile now. I wanna relax my muscles." She gave me one of those fake sympathetic smiles and said, "well, you would have to wait for a few minutes."
I looked around and there were already 3-4 people sitting around on the chairs and couch. "How long is it gonna take?" she just looked in her register and then back upto me "maybe around 30-45 minutes. We're actually low on staff today."
I just shook my head
low on staff, what does that even mean? How many people they actually have here 50? I guess not.
"two of our main masseuse didn't come today. So we're having a bit of problem."
Yeah that's what I thought. You guys only have 4 people and two didn't come. What do they expect me to do in the meanwhile. Shit this ain't happening.
"That's okay. But where do I wait coz I can't find a place to sit here?" she looked around "We have two massage rooms empty with the table already there so if you want you can wait there. Maybe relax a bit."
She must be out of her mind. She wants me to relax while I spent an hour in this crazy weather and now she wants me to wait one hour. Shit! This day just keeps getting better by the minute.
"thanks I'll do just that."
"You're welcome," she said with another fake smile. I just hate these stupid fake smiles, don't they know it makes them look stupid smiling for no fucking reason.
I went towards the waiting area and was about to go past the door into the massage rooms area when I looked and saw a beautiful woman come in. She was wearing reading glasses that's the first thing I noticed, her hair were open and falling over her shoulders and she had a pretty smile. One of those genuine smiles and not the fake one that this stupid girl behind the desk was giving.
"Hi my friend recommended me this place to get a body massage," she said to the stupid girl. I don't know why I keep calling the desk girl 'stupid girl' but heck! She is stupid. "I'm glad you could come. My name is Tina." she presented her hand to the pretty girl in glasses.
"My name is Naina." She shook her hand and gave her another genuine smile. I was really liking watching her smile.
"Well, you would have to wait for sometime maybe 15-20 minutes. It shouldn't be a problem?" Tina said, I couldn't understand if she asked a question or just said something.
But what the ... She told me to wait almost an hour coz I'm a regular and 15 minutes to this new one. She definitely climbed a ladder of stupidness in my eyes.
"Okay that's not a problem I can wait."
"You can either wait here or you can go past to the other area where there are a few extra massage rooms empty with the comfy table there so that you can relax."
Naina looked like she was pondering over what decision to make, "I'll go to the empty room to wait."
"That's great. The area is through that door," she pointed to the door separating the area from this waiting room. Naina stepped away from the counter and took a step toward me when Tina stopped her.
"You have to fill this form," she took out a piece of paper and a pen and handed it to Naina. Now I had a clear view of her, she was wearing a yellow skirt which ended at her knees with flowers printed on it. Nice calves I thought as I looked at her she was wearing a casual slipper underneath. She wore a white sleeveless top but her shoulders were hidden by her black hair which hung down around her shoulders and there was a green bag hanging on her shoulder.
I don't know what but there was something about this girl which made me want to do something to her, infact do everything dirty with her. Just then something came in my dirty mind and I made my way to the massage rooms through the door. It was a long hallway with doors on either side of the wall. The first two doors had a sign on doorknob sayingmassage inprogress that was interesting so I went ahead and went into the one which had no sign.
I turned the knob and went inside, it was a small room with nothing but a massage table in the centre and a cupboard on the side. I liked the lighting and smell of this room, it was very relaxing. I opened the cupboard and there were lots of towels, some oil bottles and a few clothes and sheets.
