**When I opened my eyes again, it was dark. The lights in my room were dim, but it was obviously night with the darkness of the evening clearly showin... through my window. I looked over, this time being able to do so without too much pain, surprised to see mom sitting in a chair next to the side of my bed, obviously asleep. "Mom?"She immediately woke at the sound of my voice. "Brian? Are you in pain? Can I get you anything?" she asked worriedly.I was, but I wasn't about to tell her that either.. They select a place at the far end where there is lot of privacy. Now both of them have settled down on a table which gives them lot of privacy. A few minutes later, a waiter comes there and Jyoti’s young friend places order without bothering to ask Jyoti – he is familiar with Jyoti’s habits. Now that the waiter has left after taking their order, Jyoti is offered a cigarette by her friend which she willingly accepts. She lights it and he too starts smoking. Now both of them are busy chatting –. So what is a ninja?" I asked serious. I could have looked it up but she needed to know how I rolled."Oh yeah, I forgot." she said."I was furiously looking in my index and then daily log. I found several entries in the daily log for fishing. "Have you ever taken Shawn fishing?" I asked."No, I never thought of that. It's something a guy would take his son to do," she said."Bullshit, if you will drive we can go fishing, but we have to hurry." I informed her honestly."Just a minute," she said that. After a while the cider began to catch up with me. I went back to the bathroom, feeling sure she must have finished up in there by now and knocked on the door. "What do you want?" She asked."Are you going to be long? Only I need the loo." I called through the door. "You'll have to wait a minute." She said.A few minutes passed and the cider was really pressing me. I banged on the door this time. "Have patience." She called. Oh god, I thought as she turned on the taps. The sound of all that water.
