Guess who is back, back again!!!

Finally I have come back to my neglected blog. I believe the flair of my words are all gone now. I was finding it difficult to start this post. Falling short of words. I feel worst than a first timer would feel in this world. But I am determined to write. I know I can get the words back, the flair would also be back sooner than later, the spirit would also be back again...

Afterall it doesn't matter how many times you lose but how many times you bounce back and I'm here to stay.

Can't Help falling in love with you

He picked up the phone as soon as the phone rang. Why Not? He was waiting for her call.

"Hello" he replied, hastily.

"Oh! hi" she replied, calmly.
and then there was a sudden hush.

"So?" she broke the silence.

"I called you 10 mins. before" he said.

"Yeah. Didn't see the call." and then inquired instantly about the places where they could meet up.
"Cafe Coffee day" was the instant reply. He had been thinking of this place from a long time. His memory flashed instantly to the their previous meeting over the same place. It was great, he thought.

"10 mins?" he knew it would take her more time to reach the place.

"Okay, I'm nearby. I'll be there"

He knew he was late by 5 mins or so. He entered CCD and searched for her. The place wasn't so crowded. Two boys were sitting on the couch. He expected her to be seated in such a way that she could watch the door, waiting for him. She wasn't watching the door but she was there. He was upset. He thought he shouldn't have forced her to come here. He should have read the signs or were there any signs? Did she also want to meet him? "Whatever" he thought.

He took the seat opposite to her. WOW!. He controlled himself from dropping his jaw. She was looking absolutely STUNNING. He asked her directly about the makeover she had. Why Not! She was looking STUNNING.

"Looking good" he said.
She smiled. Blushed.

She was wearing a black top and a denim jean jacket. The word 'STUNNING' came to his mind again. He looked at himself in the Ray-Ban. Long hair, unshaven look. He felt a sense of inferiority, something that doesn't really happen. He was shocked and she, beautiful.

He was about to take his favorite coffee. She insisted to take something she liked. He was very happy that she suggested something and ordered it without giving it a thought. A very seldom thing to do by him. They talked about everything. They sat for about an hour.

Then she had to go to purchase some books. He asked her, outright, if he could join her on the shopping. She hesitated.

"Oh my god!" the boy thought. He asked himself to be calm, regained his poise, paid the bill.

He was again STUNNED by watching her full length. The Jean was perfect fit. He instantly thought the only thing that did not fit her was him. He felt Inferior- again. He saw the white Puma shoes- perfect.

They went to the ATM. She was out of cash.

He again checked the possibility of him coming to the shopping with her. She declined diplomatically. She bid him goodbye and sped past him after wearing her helmet. He stood there for few more minutes, thinking about her.

He wanted to say it, once and for all. He missed the chance- again. But, he was back to his normal- confident self again. He kick- started his bike, confidently and the very next moment felt a chill run down his spine. If he could only turn back time, he would confess- come what may
- he would love her.

Haan mujhe pyaar hai...

"If loving her is foolish then let me be one." he said silently without looking at them.

"What do you want from her?" One of them asked him.

"Can you all please stop asking these questions over and over again?" He looked frustrated.

"No, tell us all what do you want from her?"

"Love" and a tear rolled down from his eyes.

"Do you realize that she is around 40 and you 21?"

"Yes"

"and married." one of the friend added.

"But what can I do now? No matter how much I try, I never am able to stop myself from thinking about her "

"She is not going to leave her husband and come to you, Is she?"

he nodded a no.

"Then why are you not letting her go? Why are you making things difficult for her, for yourself?"

"Because I love her very much. Even if I won't tell her this ever, I'd always love her."

"So what are you going to do now?"

"Love her. More."

"This is no picture, this is your life."

"She is my life."

"You are out of your mind."

"May be. But I still love her ."

Friends, for the first time were not comforting him, he pleaded them to leave him alone.
They all walked away. There was no point talking to him right now. He was in love for the first time. It did not matter that she was elder to him. He couldn't have cared less... he was happily in love, not thinking anything else.
