I was sitting all alone when suddenly I saw a lady coming towards my table….my heart had started beating very fast. I seriously didn’t know how to react. An orange top, a blue jeans , with a simple hairstyle.
From far she was looking quite simple, but as she came closer…OMG!! I had never seen such a simple girl but beautiful girl. I could see her ear rings. As she came closer to my table, I became speechless. I said “Hi,” struggling to speak. I felt like I was giving some random speech in a housefull college auditorium. She sweetly replied, “Hi, How are you?”
I wanted to say “abhi tak toh thaka tha par ab jaise energy aa gayi ho”. But as you know, truth does not come out so easily. Calmly I replied “I am gud, How are you?. Please take the seat.”
She asked, “how was your journey”. Now Amit tried to open up. I said, “this is my first journey in flight and I was praying to god that please god jaldi land kara do”
She smiled. Oh! What a smile! I could see light pink lipstick on her lips. She asked me, “What did you have for breakfast. Let’s order something, you must be hungry.”
I was thinking “oh my god, she is such a caring lady, if she is caring so much now, how much will she do after marriage”. But inner Amit shouted, “Beta thoda dheere , delhi door hai” J.
She asked, “Hello where are you?” “Oh yes …ummm nothing” I said. She said, “ok have some juice and sandwich” . I agreed. She was going to order when I realized dude this was Starbucks, will I have juice here.
I called her “Sneha.. “. She turned and with her, everyone in Starbucks turned . And I was like “Oh shit.” She came back fast and asked, “what happened ?” “I want coffee.” “Oh I thought something happened” she said. Again she smiled and this time with a different look.
But let me tell you all her smiles were killing me. Then again Inner Amit shouted “dude you should pay.” I went behind her …and gave my card. She looked and told “its ok whole life is there.”
I was like “is it?” She said “will meet again. You can pay that time.”
I replied “I thought something else”. And again with a smile she replied “nautanki”.
We sat at a corner table facing each other. And as you all know I always give philosophy. I could not control myself and told “you know I always like to sit facing people so that I can look into their eyes” Bingo … She replied “I caught u. So with how many gals did you sit like this?” I told “no I meant, you should always look in the eyes and talk.” Somehow I managed the awkward situation but I knew Sneha was pretty intelligent.
Then we started some idhar udhar ka chit chat .. I asked about her sis …and whole family. She also asked …. First time she asked me about myself. Before this, it was only me asking her.
And I started, “I am the only son of my parents. My dad is a senior manager. My mom is a housewife. About me, I used to be a good student in school… anyway after that I moved to Nagpur and completed my engineering in Computer Science from a chota mota college.. Blah blah…”
And the best part was, she was listening to it with utmost attention. I suddenly happened to look into her eyes….and OMG!! I was gone . I bet she had the most beautiful eyes. It looked like her eyes wanted to speak something . I was continuously looking into her eyes. And she told “Amit stop.”
I said, “don’t know when we will meet again.” She said, “we will meet.”
I don’t know how 4 hours passed and it was time for me to return. My return flight was in the evening , so I had to rush. I told her “will meet again right” and with a sweet smile she replied again “definitely”.
And surprisingly she said, “can I come to drop you?”. I was like “I wouldn’t mind”. We then took a cab. I said, “atleast now allow me to look at you.. no one is here” and she said “have u gone mad..”. I said, “yes”
She said no and this no/ yes continued – at last I tried and convinced her. But after few minutes, I said, “Ok fine leave it if you are not Ok”.
She said “you are a gentleman know….?”
We reached the airport and it was time to go.
And then I realized her eyes were talking. They were telling me not to go. But…..shit, it’s too late….
To be continued …..
