Just 10 Bucks for Dinner

  

Their eyes were showing thirst for the green fountain juice being poured in the glasses. The couple was old and skinny, may be in sixties. The lady looked extremely tired and traumatized, her sunken face and dried lips showed as if she was hungry from days. Weak limbs and wrinkled skin, might be walking from ages. The man wearing the scars of hardship on body and a muddy, ragged white shirt over it. Both gazing at the people gulping the chilling liquid and putting the empty glasses on the counter. Holding whatever assets they have in their life, a blanket, some utensils and few clothes.

The old man checked his pockets and got ten bucks out from the treasure. The couple was talking through eyes and the lady broke the silence and said, "we need to have something for dinner". They looked around and decided to take few chapattis and that was all the food they will have. The lust for the cold liquid was compromised for money, they turned around and started moving, don’t know where. Heads fallen and lost in their path.
