Walking towards our regular meeting place, i was subconsciously treading the same route.... Thinking that the day was really better than other days. Light breeze on my face, dry clean air and a slight hint of musk in the air. Walking just out of the railway station, i was turning left towards my destination when she caught my eye.
Just out of the corner of my eye i was able to see her. By the time i turned to have a better look at this lovely damsel, she had moved further.Not thinking twice, I walked faster and tried to get a glance at her face. She turned, right back at me. feeling a bit conscious I looked back myself. typical male actions when women suddenly look at them. She was staring at me! I wanted to scream! but her radiance didn't even let a whimper out of my mouth, which unknowingly was gaping open. Brunette she was, with a slender figure, petite.... just perfect i thought. Wearing a lovely sleeveless short kurta, (sort of loose top ladies like to wear) and trousers..... Goddess......
She walked towards me slow at first and then increasing her pace, expression turning from happy, to serious to really mad.... I was confused. Men have only few moods, happy, sad, angry, and confused. The best bet i had was to keep that confused look on my face and act innocent.
Now only a few paces ahead of me, as she was even instinct stopped working. I was dead meat. Sheer horror on my face now..... if a girl ever even shouts at you in public, people come over and thrash you like you are Osama bin Laden's kin.
She came stomping at me and suddenly moved sideways and hugged a guy right beside me.
Mock punching him in his stomach. I felt relieved but a bit alone. Sometimes its good to have a partner i thought. Talking and laughing with that guy. Whoever he was i thought..... lucky guy.....
They were just about to turn around and go in the other direction, when she turned for a bit and winked at me. Baffled at what had just happened I started walking..... Has she seen me with that confused, dumbfounded face? Or was just cute that she felt like winking at me? Former answer was the better out of two I thought.
Going and then talking the my friends about the incident, they started fooling around the real story..... "I'd have taken her in my arms you idiot!" one said. "Oh yes! I'd have done the same!" said the other. Talking over the subject i don't know how the hours passed by....... and it was time to go home.
Smiling, i started walking back..... Even my friends wouldn't have moved a muscle if they were in my place.
We men really like to boast our escapades, but then, this is what really happens.........
