The holy beer and a lonely bar

(a bar table
two bar chairs
two small heinekens
and an empty glass)
he say "hey chief...one heineken please".
Bar man say "sure sir...would u also like some nachos with cheeze".
"no thanks...only beer".
"sir u want it now or should we wait for your peers".
"no one is coming chief, dont you know its the festive day of the year".
"ok sir, here u go".
"can u just play a song having a rythm bit slow".
"sir..dont u like this one, its the in thing".
"no ....i just hate this ding ding".
"how was ur day sir, u dont look so good?".
"aah it was ok...i am just not in the mood".
"i am sure u r missing home this day".
(pause)
a thought in his mind, a smirk on his face
but nothing more, he could say
(blank)
after a while, he says,"bill please?".
bar man says,"just a minute sir".
"can u make it quick?".
"sure sir, here it is".

he gives the bill
finishes the last sip
take a deep breathe
get up walk to the door

before he could go out, the bar man just yells " Sir !"
he thought may be he left something there
he looks back at the barmen
barman with a smile on his face says," happy diwali".

surprised, he could just reply "thanks chief",
and walks out, closing the door
with a smile on his face :).
