Small world....


She reached work around 10.10 after a week break n was thinking from where to start.. n the PM called her..

He.. hey,good morning.. i need a favor


She.. very good morning.. sure tell me..

He.. i got call for an urgent meeting rt now n this guy is coming for an interview but i'll be few mins late so can u go n attend him for me plz..

She.. ok no problem as long as i dont have to take an interview..

He.. haha sure u dont have to..

She.. ok whats his name..


n then when she heard that name her heart skipped a beat .. n she was like is it possible?? n mind said its not impossible either.. its been a long long time.. she almost hv forgotten that name.. altogether it was a strange feeling.. with a little excitement she headed towards reception.. from the lobby of 2nd floor she looked down ..
..there he was sitting n lost in sm book.. same o same handsome boi.. not too much changes in looks ..her school mate.. her rival.. n her FIRST CRUSH.. bubbles of memories started popping around her as she went down the stairs... she was amazed ..she was surprised.. she was thinking how to greet him.. they never were friends.. they always used to fight or stare eachother silently.. lost in all this she was standing just a feet away from him..

Hi.. slowly she said..
Hi.. he said casually while looking up.. for a sec he was still as trying to recall smthing n next sec he jumped up with a big YOUUUU OMG.. same o same old expression which she used to call nautanki.. but today it wasnt drama she knew that.. he was really shocked.. they both were blank what to say.. so next few minutes they were just smiling.. n before they would hv said anything his call came.. so she wished him good luck n he asked her to be around..
she came back to her cubi.. but it was hard to concentrate.. she wanted to talk.. she wanted to listen.. to know that where was he all those 9 1/2 yrs.. hows life treating him n all..

she met him in summers after 10th exams when she joined coaching.. he was one of the most handsome boys she ever seen.. he always used to be so quiet not talking much to anyone.. just lost in his books n notes.. so the gals said he is proud thats y he dont talk... mmm interesting she thought.. as she was one hell notty gal that time who used to enjoy taking pange with guys ..n slowly slowly she manages to irritate him everyday in class smtimes by her smart brain n smtimes by her silly sweetness.. n he started talking or u say arguing.. they used to argue on every single Q whether necessary or not they just dont hv to agree to each other... now that was news to others.. guy who runs away from gals all times n who always refused to give his notes to others ..started sharing at last.. but guess what.. she never asked for his notes when she missed the class.. n the frustation was clearly written on his face..

sitting in front of pc she is trying to push thoughts away.. n want to do some work but again n again memories pulling her back n she remembers once when she was about to sit on chair in class n a mate pulled the chair.. how embarassing it was ..she fall on ground n later on he slapped the guy.. after that peer teasing increased n their argument reduced to some extent.. now they used to discuss things with open minds without looking for points to compete with eachother on every step.. but they never talked anything else out of their curriculum.. rivalry redused but the one thing used to irritate her most was those two eyes... eyes following her everywhere all times.. doesnt matter where he is sitting his eyes following her every moment... jeez smtimes she wanted to punch them... n he always enjoyed n always smiled when she showed her angry face.. once her friend suggested u stare him back.. she tried that she kept staring him for sm time he smiled n then winked... damn she blushed ..n gave up that silly thing.. n those eyes followed her till the very last day.. one day suddenly he told that his father got trasfered to other city n they leaving in a week... n he left just like that following her silently ...

n finally she got call from reception.. n she went downstairs.. she asked wanna go for lunch as it was 2pm.. they reached olive gardens n placed orders.. still searching for a string to start... n then slowly they walk down the memory lane... they remembered teachers... friends... sm talks.. they laughed ..they teased each other.. he told her how guys used to tease him.. she told him how gals used to feel j... they were talking talking... by looking at them u cant say they meeting after long time.. n they hardly used to talk to eachother earlier..

they shared 9 yrs of life... their college masti.. professional challenges.. their friend circle.. family.. 3 hrs passed n still there was so much to say n listen.. he told her how he fell for a gal n y he left her... she told him how much she is in love.. n how she screwed up everything... she thought he hvnt change much in any way just like he is much open in talking now n think gained few inches in ht ... one thing was still same those eyes.... they were still staring at her without a blink as they were talking... so today finally she asked.. u used to stare me that time n u doing it today too.. is it just to irritate me or... he smiled for a sec n said.. earlier it was to irritate u n now..... n he just shook his head.. she blushed a little coz she knew wht he mean... so it was time to go as he had to catch the flight.. so he called the cab.. n while going he said.. i wanna tell ya smthing i was hving a crush on u that time... n she smiled without uttering a word.. n he asked u knew it dont ya.. n she smiled again n teased him what about now.. haha he laughed n said will tell tomrw.. n they assured each other to be in touch n to be friends...

this was her first date with her first crush but after 9 1/2 years... *SMILES*

The world is really small, and scribbles would agree with me, right dm?
This is one of the most beautiful posts I have ever read. Honestly.
So much so that it evoked an emotion(s) and not just a comment.
On one hand I feel envy as you got something we all so desire...and on the other I feel happy that such things are not figments of imagination, but true. Atleast for someone.
We all have a utopian dream somewhere within and you are blessed to have realsied yours....

Cheers

ps- Awesome word prowess you have. Very well written...
