A Usual Story

Scene : NY city
Cast :
1. Freddy, Working for NYPD,
2. Max, Trauma Therapist in NYU Hospital,
3. Sam, Member and Service worker with Red Cross
4. Maggie, rich, cute, adorable, smart, adjective, adjective, adjective...

Freddy, Max and Sam have lots in common, but, each one is so different from the other! Though all their ancestors had migrated from Europe, especially Germany, during WW-II, they are all so American. All three of them are so molded by the nature of their work. They are, what their work demands, and are very good at that too.

Max, is all fun, cool, extrovert and relaxed. May be, his job demands such a disposition, but he is so typical. He never frets over anything.
Freddy, is a very responsible chap. He means business in all his approach. He's so professional, chats less and is very wise.
Sam, is compassionate, patient and fun-loving. Anybody can approach him for help and it will be given a best shot.

Of course they had a few things in common too.. All three loved their jobs, and they also had a habit of beginning their day with some work-out in the Central Park. Yeah, the same park that has played an important role in may Hollywood flicks. To make the long story short, they soon became acquaintances and would spend sometime together everyday.

All was well until Maggie walked (rather ran) into their lives! She had just moved to NY from LA, and comes jogging in Central Park. Can there be a prettier dude in the city?! She was not only pretty, but also very, very rich. She came to the park in different high-end model cars, more often in a huge shining BMW, visited best of the salons and was royally mannered!

Now the story becomes a run in the mill. All three get so psyched up and spent most of the day planning to please and acquainting her. They started competing and out-smarting each other to grab her attention. She was friends with all three of them and did not give a clue on who she liked the most. But, Maggie, definitely was eating up quality time of Max, Freddy and Sam!

Freddy, once, while at work, thought of the perfume Maggie uses and as a result, missed to catch a marijuana trader.
Max, was so upset, when Maggie sprained her petite ankles, that he just couldn't cheer a group of kids who met with an accident
Sam, started, expecting and accepting trinkets in return to his services. He wanted to flash and gift them to Maggie!

Such was an impact of their infatuation! and Maggie, being smart, realized it soon! She liked and respected all three of them, more for their work and service to the community than for their affection towards her. She decided to teach them all a lesson. She said, she liked all three equally and would court one of them who could do what she asks for. Her demand was simple, but made Max, Freddy and Sam understand things better.

PS: Maggie's demands, and star cast in the next post.
