Pessy - Possy tête-à-tête.

This is a short story about friends Miss Penelope and Miss Portia. Their friendship runs deep and long even with little dissimilarity between the two.

Miss Portia is a sweet charming girl whose smile is very infectious. Every time she smiles, the twinkling eyes mesmerizes people around her. Miss Penelope is a girl with a staid face. She always has an air of contemplation around her. Portia is known as Possy or Pos among her friends while Penelope as Pessy.

New Year has arrived and Possy decides to pay a visit to Pessy and calls her for a tea at the Central Park Café. Below is a transcript of their tête-à-tête.

Possy: Hey Pessy. Wish you a very happy new year

Pessy: Hey Pos, wish you a happy new year.

Possy: What’s up Pessy? You don’t seem to be happy about the New Year.

Pessy: Oh its nothing, I am just worried as to what might happen in this year. You know last year hasn’t been good for me.

Possy: Its alrite Pessy, last year is past, move on and look at the new one. You remember your promotion is due this month and so is your birthday. Shouldn’t you be thinking about all these new things than worrying about the past?

Pessy: Oh well that reminds me that there is going to be more work, moving up the ladder comes at price Pos. And who is worried about the birthday anyways I don’t think I can take a day off with so much work on my head.

Possy: Don’t worry Pessy, your birthday is on a Friday, take off and have a nice long vacation I am sure your team would understand that you haven’t had a vacation in sometime now.

Pessy: Gosh, it’s on a Friday I would be driving out. Who would want to be traveling on their birthday Possy and spend so much on a short vacation when there is work at the back of your mind?

Possy: I think you are overtly negative Pessy. Look at the sunny side of life.

Pessy: yeah I am sure there is a sunny side but right now I am down under an umbrella Possy.

Possy takes Pessy for a stroll around the park to change her current mood.

Hopefully Portia manages Penelope to go out of her umbrella and enjoy the sun shine in her life.

Wish you all readers a very happy new year and do remember to always look at the bright side of life!
