O' Suzzanna - Part 3


They laughed. They giggled. They watched intently their favorite show. They didn't realize when the time had passed. One of Sue's cousin called her for the dinner. She was about to switch off the TV when Jacob's special commercial arrived. "Wait! Wait!", he squealed. Sue jumped to see what captivated her new friend's interest.

It was the Rasna. Sue wondered what was so special in this ad. When the ad was over, he sighed his dissatisfaction. Sue switched off the TV. They walked towards the dinning hall. "You like Rasna?", she asked out of blue. "No, she is Suzzanna.", he said proudly. "Who is Suzzanna?", she asked. "The girl in the ad.", he said irritatingly.

Sue laughed hysterically. "She is not Suzzanna. She is Rasna, dumbo.", she corrected him. "You are dumbo. Her name is not Rasna. Rasna is the drink.", he argued. Their fight continued till they arrived the dinner hall and were having their dinner. "How do you know her name is Rasna? Is she your friend?", Sue asked.

"No, I don't know her. But I know her name is Suzzanna.", he said. "How can you say that? You have not met her or know her. Her name can be anything. Her name could be Rasna too.", she argued. At this point, Jacob's anger was in verge to explode. "You are a bad girl.", he growled. This gathered everyone's attention and Sheena arrived at their table. "What happened?", she asked gently.

"Sue is a bad girl. She is fighting with me. I don't want to talk to her. I want to go home.Where is my mother?", he started weeping. Sheena felt sorry and caressed his cheek. Sue looked sad. "Don't worry child. Your mother will be here soon. She will be done with her dinner soon.", Sheena said. "What did you, Sue? Why did you fight with me?", she asked. "I didn't fight. I was only talking", Sue said softly.

After dinner, it was time to leave. Jacob was relived that they were going. As his mother bid goodbye to her friends and family, Sue arrived from nowhere. She hugged Jacob and released him from her embrace. She said, "I am sorry, Jacob. I didn't mean to hurt you." Jacob smiled and waved goodbye to her as he left. This is how her one sided love story began with Jacob.
