Beyond The Tales Chapter 13


“The breakfast was great, I will catch you guys tonight.” says Ryan who has to leave for work. 
“Tonight? why are you not coming this afternoon.” says Emma 
“What is happening this afternoon?”
“Duh, Harman’s workshop.”
“Oh I am so sorry. I forgot about that, but I can’t.  I have a meeting this afternoon.”
“It is okay Ryan, you have been to my workshops before it is all the same.”
“Harman how dare you, each workshop you conduct is so different than the other one isn't it Jo.”
“Yeah I couldn’t agree more to Emma, but sadly even I can't make it I have to go downtown for a conference.”
“Really? I guess you are stuck with me Harman.”
“Just the way I like it.”

In the afternoon Emma puts on the dress Harman had got her for her birthday and then walked towards Harman's room.
“Hey you, you are early.” said Harman a little surprised to see that Emma is ready before time.
“Don’t look so surprised, I wanted to come here before you got ready. There you go, this is for you.” saying that Emma handed a bag to Harman.
“For me? Emma you didn't have to.” Harman  pulled out a shirt and t-shirt from the bag. 
“I didn't get it for you I got it for me, I am bored seeing you in that same old shirt at every workshop.”
“Easy there, you know I love that shirt.”
“I know I was the one that got it for you, so here you go now you can pick your new favourite one.”
“Emma you are the best.” saying this Harman hugged Emma.
“Now don’t go all mushy on me, go get ready you know how I hate being late.”

They reached the venue a little before time while Harman went back stage and was looking into the arrangement Emma sat there patiently waiting for the workshop to start. It didn't take long for the venue to be packed with people who were excited for the workshop to start. Emma was sitting in the last row when someone touched her shoulder when she turned her head there he was “Ryan, what a surprise what are you doing here? come sit down. ”
“I knew you were alone so I thought I would give you some company.”
“And the meeting?”
“I rescheduled it, are you not happy that I am here?”
“I am more than happy and I am sure Harman will be happy to see you too.”
After the workshop Harman could hardly catch a breath people kept coming to him for pictures and autographs. Emma noticed that Harman was struggling and she had to go for his rescue.
“Phew, thanks for that. Where is Ryan?”
“Oh you saw him coming? I thought it would have been a good surprise. He has gone to answer a call, you were amazing Harman as always. This one was one of your best workshops that I have ever attended.”
“Was it cause of me or Ryan?”
“What kind of question is that? It was your workshop.”
“Like for once you had some company, so I asked.”
“You ain’t that horrible I can survive your workshops without any company.”
“Hey Harman, you were great mate. Emma was right all your workshops are different.”
“Thanks Ryan, I am glad you could come.”
“Guys I need to rush back to work, I will see you'll tonight then. Do you guys want me to drop you'll back?”
“Thanks Ryan but Harman and I need to be somewhere, we will see you in the evening.”

“Emma where are we going?”
“To have a pizza, so what if we aren't in Dublin traditions don't change, to the pizza parlour we go.”
After a long time Harman felt like things were back to normal and this trip was actually not a bad idea. That evening everyone was suppose to meet at a downtown restaurant that Ryan had picked. 
“Has anyone spoken to Ryan? he doesn't seem to pick up my calls?”
“What did you do this time Jo to scare him away?”
“Very funny Harman, super hilarious.”
In the mean time the staff at the restaurant gets them seated. 
“Ladies and Gentleman I would like to welcome you here this evening, my name is Ryan and I am going to be playing a small acoustic set for you all.” 
To everyones surprise Ryan is on the stage standing with his guitar ready to play. 
“Did you guys knew about this?” asks Jo who can’t control her excitement. 
“Not really, but I can’t wait.” said Emma. 
As night went on and for the last song Ryan stepped down from the stage walked towards Emma and asked her to dance with him which she couldn't refuse. 
“Ryan you were marvellous, Thank you so much for such an amazing night.” said Emma.
“Anything for you guys, you and Harman should now get some rest it has been a long day.” 
After saying good bye to everyone while walking towards the lift Harman looked at Emma and finally told her what he was meaning to tell her the whole day “Emma, I think it is time for us to go back.”
“Already?” 
“It was my last workshop today, I don't see a reason staying any longer.”
“There is Jo and Ryan here are they not reason enough?”
“Emma I am sorry we can't stay any longer.”
“So when are we flying back?”
“Tomorrow, I have booked us the night flight.”
“Thanks for the heads up Harman. Goodnight”

Treat Others As You Want To Be Treated

My motto has always been when in doubt write it out, I have been thinking about this for a really long time and I think I have finally  found the words.  You got to do something for me, think about the last time you bumped into someone or someone by mistake hit your hand. I doubt you can recall this instance now think of the time when someone said something to you which made you feel really small or miserable. I am sure you could think of at least one or two. Look at it this way when someone bumped into you it must have hurt you that time may be it even left your skin red, got a few reactions out of you. On the other hand when someone said something to you, randomly used a few words which left no physical scar on you it is this instance that you clearly remember, you know why because it is the way they made you feel.  The sad fact is that we have all done this, we have become the generation that doesn't think before we speak. We all have this friend who thinks he/she is so coo

Airport Romance- Chapter three

This is the moment I know I should say something to her something that would make her feel better, but I am out of words. It is so refreshing to see someone who is so in touch with her emotions. “God, here I am telling you my life story and I don’t even know anything about you. So what are you running from?” saying this her switch has worked again, there is a massive smile on her face and the spark is coming back. “I am running from my work, same old boring story.” “It cannot be that bad, what do you work as?” “ I am an actor.” “An actor, I haven’t met one before, are you any good.” “ Decent, I have a few fans here and there.” “Give me you phone.” “Oh okay, here you go.” I am not sure what she is looking for, but I can see her trying to google something. “You call yourself decent? God how many awards have you won?” “I have  a long way to go trust me.” There it is again she knows I am an actor and just like everyone else she is going to act all weird now. “Lon
