Chax

It was 1:43 am. He had said that he would be there. We just couldn’t go to sleep when he had said he was going to come. After all, it was Chax, that we were talking about. Chax was our hero. Correction: Chax IS our hero. Besides, his phone had been busy about half an hour ago. He was having a fight with his girl I figured. Chax and his girl. Long relationship. We even tried to test it! Only he doesn’t know it yet! He wouldn’t mind. It was harmless. Well we had to stay up. We had already been up the previous night. I guess we were getting used to it. We decided to play cards. 29. Fortunately four of us were awake. It was funny, that we knew when Chax came over, we were going to play cards anyways. Maybe through the entire night. Well that’s 29 for you. Addictive. Then there was a phone call. Chax. “Open up the gate, am coming in”.

Somehow we managed to wake up the night guard. He was too shocked to be pissed at us. He simply opened the gate so that we would just leave him alone. And Chax came. On that snazzy two wheeler of his. Yeah, we loathed it!

29 29 29 29. 3 hours of 29! And then we could not take it anymore. Chax played well. Yeah he did. But Lokman and I had too many tricks up our sleeve. After all, in cards, he who cheats best prevails.

And then we lay down in the dark. And we listened to songs. Songs on our cells. Lovely songs. And we talked. Talked about life, love, money. Talked about the songs. Talked about making it big. Yeah we talked our hearts out. No age difference stood between us. And that’s why we love Chax. We saw the first light of day together. Just like we had with the others last day. And then he had to go. Personally I think he just felt early morning pressure in his bowels.

And when he turned up at the plant that afternoon, he was as smooth as always. Chax.
