It was a quiet afternoon in the courtroom. The fan was buzzing, and people looked bored.
Then the Judge came back from lunch. He sat down, looked serious, and said, "Next case."Everyone sat up. Something was about to happen.The young junior lawyer stood up. He looked nervous—like he just saw a ghost in his file.No one knew it yet, what was going to happen.
That young junior lawyer stood up.He looked nervous.Very nervous.This was the second time he was asking for more time from the Judge today.In the morning, at 11 o'clock, he had said,"My Lord, my Senior is stuck in traffic. Can we take the case at 2 PM?"The Judge smiled and said,"Okay. Come back at 2 PM."
Now it was 2 PM.Everyone was waiting.But the Senior Lawyer was still not there.The Judge asked,"Where is your Senior now?"
The junior lawyer said,"My Lord… now he is stuck in another court."
The Judge looked surprised."First traffic, now another court?"
The junior nodded fast."Yes, My Lord. He got stuck again."
The Judge said,"This is not a train station. I can’t keep waiting all day."
People in the courtroom giggled.Then the Judge asked,"So when will your Senior come?"
The junior smiled nervously."Tomorrow, My Lord. At 2 PM."
The Judge stared at him."Will he appear like magic—poof!—from the air?"
The junior laughed and said,"If he doesn’t, My Lord… I will become invisible!"
Everyone laughed!Even the Judge smiled and said,"Okay! But if you vanish, we’ll send a search team!"
The whole courtroom laughed.Even the peon near the door was smiling.
