Not even my close associates know about this, that I fell in Love. Even they would be surprised when they come to know about this. You might raise a question now “why I am revealing it here?” and “now”. Well the time has come before it gets too late, and revealing it in this public forum!!!!!….. So that I don’t miss anyone.
It was last July when I first saw her……. Since I haven’t had a break from my work for the previous 3 months, I was waiting to get back home. That’s when my college mate called me up about their plan for a get-together. That’s how I was destined to meet her….
It was a beautiful evening, as should be said. It would be a surprise for anyone who knew Chennai before, to see such a climate. It was so pleasant or may be I felt so….The plan was to meet at Besant Nagar beach, a heaven for lovers.
Even though there weren’t any girls or any pairs in our gang it was a custom for us to meet there, just because of the pleasant atmosphere and the cool breeze which would soften even the tough hearted fellows.
There I was, waiting for my friends to turn up……not wanting to waste time standing there, I decided to walk around the beach. Everything that happened the other day was like a dream. While I was walking on the walkway, noticed an ice-cream counter at a distance. Picked out my purse to check if I had some change, but while doing so someone from behind knocked me off the edge of the walkway. It was one of the trademark scenes of Indian movies; I fell off from the walkway just to land on HER. She was there at a marketing stall, unable to bare my weight she fell over landing on her back. It must have been painful. The Guy standing at the counter stared at me, may be he thought I was one of those guys who prank people. I was so embarrassed to be in a situation like this, people staring at me with a wicked look in their eyes. I stood up and helped her to get on her foot, that’s when I had a good look at her.
I couldn’t take my eyes off her for a min or two, but came to my senses when some one tapped me from behind. It was the counter guy, I realized that he was saying something to me but……..my eyes and thoughts were still at her. The guy pushed me aside and went up to her; she must be a model for advertising their product. He looked so tensed up and was in anxiety. I moved away in-order to avoid anymore embarrassment, that too in front of what I call as my First Love. Yeah its true people fall in love, even at their First sight.
As I walked away, I couldn’t resist but to turn around to stare at her. But came to a halt when she responded with a smile, which sent waves through my heart. But as per the law, every love has a Villain and he arrives at the right time. There was one for me too and he was none other than my friend……. He was there staying few feet away from me, I walked across to him.
I was happy that day not because I met my friends but it was that smile which made me so. For the next two days I was lost in thoughts thinking about the incident, things weren’t normal for the next two days.
It was the last day when I met her again, and this time with a guy. My heart broke, that’s when I could feel the pain of those lovers whose loose their guy/gal. She looked at me but didn’t seem to remember me. The happiest trip of my life, was broken in a minute, I left Chennai with a heavy heart…….
Her thoughts never seem to vanish; I wasn’t able to work for days together. This time I was determined to speak my heart out to her, but the funny part was
I had a lucky break then when I noticed her in
Everyone around us were shocked at my reaction, even my friend who was there terrified by my actions. But I never cared for those, since she never refrained…..I moved further by brushing her face against my chin. My fingers moved across her hips and then……….
I started DIALING my father…….that when I heard a voice; it was the boy in the showroom “Sir!!! There’s no SIM in the mobile”. Try calling from here, he pointed to the booth.
It was a happy ending after all, after getting the approval from my parents I bought her from a showroom in Chennai. Looking back at the turn of events, am having a smile at this very moment as am typing. She’s there right on my desk, just across my left arm……. My Love, my NOKIA N72
