The Bridges Of Constantine (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
Si Sharif was on the line. His warmth and excitement delighted me to begin with, breaking the monotony of my nightly silence and loneliness. His voice itself signified a celebration: it was my only link with you after all avenues had been blocked. I took it as a good sign, always bearing the possibility of a chance meeting with you. But this time it brought more than that. First, Si Sharif apologised for not being in touch since our last evening together. He had been very busy dealing with the non-stop flow of official visitors to Paris. He then added, ‘All that time, though, I haven’t forgotten you. I hung your painting in the living room and now I share the house with you. You know that your gesture has left a big impression on me and made people envy me. I keep having to explain that we’ve been friends since childhood.’ I was listening to him, but my heart foolishly raced ahead to you. Knowing that the conversation originated in the house where you were was sufficient to unleash all the emotions and folly of a new lover.
