“Can I ask
you out?” I asked Rimsha being flirtatious.
She narrowed
her big petal-shaped eyes which made her nothing else than more hug-able and
cute.
‘I mean… out
for a coffee…nothing much”. I said grinning.
‘Okay…but it
should be followed by the dinner. And of course, IT’S NOT A DATE.’ She said
making it confirm that I understand what actually she meant. ‘And it will be
on you.’ She continued.
‘Definitely…I
don’t have any special interest in dating you.’ I said rolling my eyes.
‘Oh…really…you
really don’t have any interest in seeing me? I don’t believe this.’
‘I’M NOT
INTERESTED IN YOU, remember that’, I said firmly.
At afternoon
when I was laying on my bed suddenly my phone rang. With an incurious attitude
I picked it up to see it was a call from Upasana. I decided to play with her
for a while and so I disconnected the call. To my pleasant surprise I got the
following text form Upasana.
I’m not feeling good since my day is blue.
Believe me, it’s really true.
Can we both go out to the city? I
guess the plan is quite pretty.
Perhaps I don’t have anyone here to
cheer me up, you tell what’s up?
P.S. I’m very bad in rhyming the
words. L
I was
thrilled. I felt like I have won a race. Seventy percent of first and second
year boys had hots on Upasana and I felt like I have kicked everyone behind and
backed the trophy. I was about to pick up my phone to say ‘yes’ to her but I stopped for a while. If a boy shows an instant
acquiescence to any offer by a girl, the girl gets to think that the boy is too much interested in her and so at
present he is totally and easily accessible. Girls generally takes such ass-ish
boys causally and for granted. So I waited for five whole minutes and then
texted. “Umm…Have some other engagements.
Let me check, will there be any
possible adjustments.
And for this, 10 minutes, you need to
wait.
I was doing an important work and ur message
gave me a break.”
P.S. I too share the same handicap in rhyming
the words. :p
But I must
say those ten minutes were so heart breaking and intolerant. It was not at all
needed to make both of us wait for those ten minutes. But sometimes we boys
really act in such stupid manner. I must have checked my watch hundred times in
those ten minutes.
And then after ten minutes I texted. “At what time??? Eve five, will it be fine?”
She replied-“sure! I’ll wait…c u at
the main gate. J” .
I rushed to
the bathroom to take shower. For the first time in my whole college life I took
full half an hour to bath. But you guys don’t think that I don’t bathe daily.
But half an hour was really a record for me. I tried at -least ten shirts and
T- shirts to look fine and impressive. I
worked according to the listed stuff I had drafted to look like a prince- charming and of course cool.
As I came
out of my room, I saw my batch mates busy
playing cricket in corridor. I sprinted down the stairs but was caught by
Rupankar Suri. Rupankar was the most terrible dead wood in the whole
college…umm…I would not be mistaken if I say on the whole face of the earth. He
was such a guy who would ask questions like- if you are entering the loo he
will block your way asking, “ Dude…are u
going to the loo?” or if after the classes, during afternoon, he sees you with
a plate full of food stuff in mess,
he’ll ask, “ hey! Having lunch?” His questions were terrified as well as
deadliest. Seeing me running downstairs he asked, “Hey! Going downstairs?” “No
just checking where these stairs ends.” I replied, disgusted and sneaked out.
I reached
fifteen minutes early. I was nervous and was breathing fast. I decided to wait
at the cafeteria near- by the main gate. At five
I called Upasana. But my called was disconnected immediately. I had no other
choice than waiting for her. It has been aptly said- “the worth of each second
can be only understood and valued by a person who waits for someone special.”
I turned my
neck to look the road-way and I saw Upasana coming. She looked fabulous. My eye lashes stayed separated from each
other for one whole minute. It seemed like she had summed the whole beauty for
earth in her. She looked like the best creativity of nature. She wore a
sleeveless maroon colored shirt with denim Capri which was above her knees. Her
hairs were up to her shoulders and were well arranged which made her look more
stunning. She looked beautiful like the sky during sun-rise. Her black untied
hair resembled the beauty of dark night. Her natural pink glossy lips seemed
softer than rose petals. Her sparkling eyes were like stars twinkling at night,
unintentionally grabbing attention. Her extra fair-pink complexion was
equivalent to the beauty of blossom of a light pink lotus flower. Her glowing
skin appeared as shinny as a newly grown fresh leaf.
“How will we reach there?” she asked.
The words
came to my ears but I was busy gazing her and my eyes capturing the idol of
beauty.
“Vyom…stop
staring at me.”
“Huh? Umm…
here’s the auto, let’s go”. I said timidly.
We sat in
the auto. I was continuously gazing to this awesome creativity of God. And how
do I look? Let me tell you through a description given by a junior girl who was
allotted with a task of writing a matrimonial add of mine. So here it goes..
Height- 5ft 10 inches.
Color-
wheatish.
Hair- not so
neatly cut but a shock of hairs fell over his eye brows makes him look
freakishly cute.
Face- not
clean shaved but perfect due to the stubble.
Body- Perfectly build.
P.S. Spectacles makes him look more
adorable and handsome rather than ‘Nerd’.
