The Ring !!

This ring was part of my life many years ago…. It has a stone in it “supposed” to be lucky…. Why do I write about this ring … cos every time I wore it I had bad luck. And not just bad luck it came in many colors too vivid to remember!!!! I mean I remember wearing it in school and trust me those were the worst days I don’t know how or why!! But somehow that ring is cursed. I hadn’t seen the ring in years. Then suddenly last night I found it while mom was doing her packing and all that!!! I was intrigues by it and again pulled towards like those old days… It does have this very antique kinda feeling towards it which makes it all the more desirable. Well my mom was like u can wear it as long as you don’t lose it. So finally I wore it and was feeling on top of the world. I always wanted to play on the decks with a ring on my finger especially something like this. I didn’t wear one before cos I am allergic to artificial ornaments. Well this was in silver the old school types. Anyway so after I wore it and dropped my parents downstairs and my dad’s friend took them to the airport. Well finally them gone I started searching the house for the elusive bottle of Chivas Regal which my dad had kept somewhere. Well eventually I found it and my joy knew no bounds …. I called up people in random to share my happiness. And people not in Kuwait but in India, Dubai, London, Amsterdam and Singapore. This is crazy cos when my dad gets the phone bill he will probably kill me. Told you that ring drives people crazy. Ok fine so I called my parents and they said the flight was delayed so they will call me when they leave. I started having my drink after having a shower and all the getting some Diet Coke. And after a few drink played some music and was having a good time. It had been almost 6 months since I had a decent drink, so I pulled out the crystal ware glasses and decanter and after a few drinks I was feeling nice and happy in my tummy. I actually had a very very nice feeling ……and then is started feeling hungry. Burger king was the only number I had and a Hershey’s Pie was all I wanted to eat cos last time I had bought it, it had fallen down somewhere while bringing it home. So after waiting for them to deliver and with one king burger, fries and Pepsi I sat talking to few friends online. Now all done and everything fine I decided to go to sleep. Besides I had office the next day and didn’t wanna be late especially with the extra work load these days. So I promptly switched off everything and was going to sleep when I got a call. Thinking it was some kid calling a restaurant but instead it was my dad. JOJO we are coming home the flight got cancelled. SHIT!!!! My room was in a mess … the crystal ware was still outside and smelling like booze. I think that was the quickest clean up operation I had veer done in my life. Hurrying away to glory cleaning and that also after being roused for a deep slumber I kept cursing myself thinking what had gone wrong when I saw the ring on my finger. Quietly I removed it place sin on my moms cheat of drawers and went back to sleep hoping to god dad and mom never find out about what has happened. They sleep in peace now as I am in office now and thinking what reaction awaits me when I reach home. If nothing happens I will see another day of drinking alone in this desert of prohibition. Otherwise its dry days again :( and the unpleasant memory of the night I wore THE RING.
