JAB WE MET........

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

Worth the wait ! He remembered me and the CCD, and I could hear myself  grin and say “ Yeah  . Neha, that’s my name “.

“Hi, am Adi “  , I heard him say .

Before I could react, I heard Mira pulling me away “ Neha, come on , the train is about to leave” . Our glances fixed at each other, found myself on to the train . 

A small wave from him as the train moved slowly.

“ Who’s this guy ? ”  Mira’s pointed question and I was snapped out my magic world .

“ He’s  Adi “  I replied .

 “Adi ! Adi who ?”  Mira probed.

“ The Coffee shop guy “  I said sheepishly .

“ Seriously Neha !  Was it him ?  After a month long wait , some magic that  “  Mira’s reaction was perfect as she knew of  my CCD saga .

I was in a different world altogether, still  coming to terms with the fact that I actually met him, and now I know his name too.  In the next instant, it dawned on me  “ that’s all I got to know of him,  his name” . Will we meet again, maybe at that CCD.  

Some hope !

Beep from the cell indicated that it's 12 am in the morning and it's my friend sharvari's birthday. I must call her else I would hear an earful of choicest of gaalis from her. Tried calling her but got a busy tone.Tried calling her a couple of times with no luck,  still busy.
Finally keyed in Happy birthday Sharvari with lot of Kissing and party emoticons to send to her. 

Mind again wandered to the magical meeting with Adi and thinking about him, just fell asleep with the cell next to me and the unsent message!!

Next morning,  standing in front of the mirror and looking at myself  I thought -
How strange are emotions ! Just thinking about him , hearing his voice , seeing him smile .. made ME look good , there was this  huge grin plastered all over my face since  the time I saw him .  

Silly girl, enough of romance, need to  reach office on time  and rushed out of the PG .

Battling the traffic, just managed to reach the office, made an unsuccessful attempt to  dig out my ID for swipe in. 

Oh! now where did I lose it, my mind was racing fast to remember, as I could see the time tick away .

“ Looking for this, Neha  ? “  a gentle voice over my shoulders and I turned to look at him with a start.

Blessings from heaven , its Him!! As he held out my ID towards me, thousands of emotions and thoughts swirled in my head. 

Am not sure if what went faster – my thoughts  or my heartbeats !

I was beyond caring anyways !

Adi …He looked tall &  handsome . 

Dark unkept hair falling across his face, and his curious eyes flashed across my face. 

His shoulders firm and strong, that small curve to his lips, as if there was a hint of being terribly funny  and wicked . 

which made him all the more alluring . Blue jeans, black tee with “ whatever “ printed on it just as his attitude, I thought. 

His black adidas sport shoes complimented his attire and style – casual yet dashing . 

Guitar on his shoulders , OMG ! Hes a musician !

“ You are gonna miss out on the swipe “  I heard him say as I snapped out of  my thoughts and  took my ID from him  and swiped .

“Hey, how did  you get this, I asked .

“ Yesterday when you dropped your stuff at the station , you went off in a hurry to get the train , this was left with me ! He explained .

For once  I thanked my clumsiness , at least I got to meet him again !

“ Oh thanks a ton , you actually came all the way to my office to return this “  Thanks so so much , I said .

“ No, coincidence . I was to come here to your office  to perform  for your office fest , and your ID  indicated you are here too “ he grinned as he spoke .

“  Ah , that’s really cool “   I said .

“ I will be seeing you at the performance , right ?  “ A performance for someone special “ !   his eyes searching for a  affirmative answer .

“ Sure, I will be there “ as I moved on to my cubicle not before thanking him once again for the ID .

Saw him walk away to the HR dept , he didn’t turn to look at me. Settled at my desk , mind was racing to the happenings since last evening . 

It seemed like a a soap opera , as I logged on to my PC to check my  “ to do “ list . 

Need to finish off the urgent ones as  I tried to focus my mind in to my mailbox .

The heart was however echoing his words “ Someone Special “  …
