Him, Me and some magic !!!

"Nehaaaaaaaaaa"   ... heard my roomie, Mira, yelling my name early morning .  Half asleep, jumped off the bed only to find her failed attempt to fix  a leaking tap! Damn, cold water touching my feet and I knew we were standing in pool of water spread all over the floor. Rushed to find the mops, cursed the house owner to whom we had complained many a time to fix the leaked tap. His standard response always would be  "don’t worry, kal tak done"  -  Huh ! PG mai rehne k side effects !


Swirling the mop on the floor, thoughts ran freely to the usual idiom " Month hi kharab chal raha hai saala"  - tashan with boss on the appraisals, scrapping with the house owner, and most importantly the visits to that CCD with a hope to catch a glimpse of Him !  Am not a great coffee lover, yet found myself walking up to the shop many a times en route home. Queues sometimes small, at times  took a longer. My eyes wandered to spot him among the crowd. There were better looking guys around, some smiled too, but my focus was only to spot that SMILE, couldn’t get over the sexy curve of his smiling lips since that day ! Must have spent a couple of hundreds during the last visits, many a times the half finished coffee hitting the bin.

These thoughts  kept ringing in my head many a times  as I walked into the CCD,

Each time the  door flung wide & open

My heart whispered, it better be you !!

I know, I don’t even know your name

But you are there in my minds frame!!

Been sipping cups and cups of coffee

So much that I now feel so so  groggy!!

Each cup of coffee drains my money

Cost of seeing you, isn’t very funny !!

Will I ever just get a glance of you

How & when, I still have no clue  !!

Trust me,  I can walk an extra mile

To see your charming smile  !!

Just wondered, If Yash Chopra  had seen me in this state of mind, he would be proud of me ;) I have been true to his idea of romancing a guy in my head.  Even if  do see  him again, will he   remember me ?  Sigh.

Me done with the cleaning, while Mira got someone to fix the leak. What a start to a Sunday, we thought !   Need to get over this phase, Mira  proposed Colaba street shopping, girl’s best way to beat the blues aka feel good therapy. I relented. In a couple of hours, finished the shopping, gulped colas, mind seemed refreshed. Time to get back home, CST was  chock-a-block, waded through the stream of people  to reach the platform. Could hear the train announcement, chaos everywhere, people aimlessly moving in all directions and we sprinting towards the train which was slowly moving in to the platform

A lady in her hurry to get past me, banged straight in to me. Clumsy me, hit by the impact dropped my wallet. With great acrobatic skills, I tried to balance myself and the bags while trying  reach for it.  Just then I could see another pair of hands picking my wallet and before I could react , he was up and standing, looking straight in to me.  

Hundreds of people just disappeared from my sight, my eyes could only see Him. There was this errie silence admist all the chaos .  Completely blanked out moment, guess only my brains kind of worked  . Oh My God !! Is this true ? It IS him  in all flesh and  blood standing up to me,  holding my wallet and yes , that smile of his ! 

Wanted to scream with joy and ask him “Where have you been all my life ?“   but didn’t let the emotions show and could only manage a sheepish  ‘Thank you so much “  with a smile . 

Human mind is  so fragile , how it reacts to situations and converts them in to emotions is a mystery !

He returned the wallet to me and asked “ Ms Coffee ? “

……….Tune in for next !
