It was a cold chilly day in the starting of December...it was clearly the festive season...Christmas always brought a good feeling even if I never really celebrated it myself.
So, on that December evening, I was just roaming around with my folks, and thats when the unexpected happened...I saw a HER...and it was early December 2009 since when I started believing in Love at first Sight...I got a fraction of a second to just glance at her, and yes, my friends, she was mesmerizing, to say the least.
At that moment, she seemed like everything I need...everything I always needed and the excitement rushed in like never before...I felt like a 5 year old standing outside a candy store.
I decided I'll fight my fears...walk up to her, get down on my knees and say You're the most beautiful person I've ever seen...I love you...
So, with such a buildup in my head, I started walking towards her...my heartbeat synchronized with each step of mine and my walk was wobbly. In cricketing/sporting terms,I was off to shaky start! But hey, I did manage to talk...here's how the conversation went...
Me: Umm..excuse me...
She: Looked at me and gave a restrained smile *score* Yes?...
Me: --Sweating a little more profusely now-- Well...I..hi..I am..Umm..you're really gorgeous...umm...I mean...I'm sorry...I'll go...
She: --Looked straight back at me...more like an angry glare--*Own Goal* What? Excuse me?..Who are you? Wait don't leave?..Who the hell are you?
Me: --Okay..I'm really sorry...I just saw you from across the glass door and the first thought that came to my mind was BEAUTIFUL...so I had this undying urge to come to you and blurt it out but I guess I only embarrassed you and I'm really sorry for that...You won't see me here again..bbye..
She: Hey...wait...you din't commit a felony... in fact, thank you
-- Another smile...this time a broader one-- *Another score...I'm back in the game baby**
Me: I don't know If I'm going to sound like a complete Idiot, but after looking at you..I have started believing in love at first sight...I'm serious...I'm in love with you...
She : -- Laughing uncontrollably-- * That was a deathly blow* Are you serious?...First sight? Love?...21st century man!!
Me: -- Keep cool soldier, I told myself--- What has century got to do with your looks and my emotions? Do they have any indirect connection whatsoever?
She: -- Laugh turned into a serious face...sort of a disgusted look-- Okay..fine..maybe there is something like that...but I don't think it can happen to me...
-- She Didn't sound convincing--
Me: * Capitalize son! Now or Never* Look, you cannot tell that it certainly won't happen to you...it can happen to anyone...and it will never let you know before it happens...I didn't know it a few minutes before and a glass door away from you...
She: --Turning Away-- Look, I'm not like that...I can't decide in such a haste...and you've got to admit...this is crazy...
Me: Its called spontaneity...All I got was a glimpse of you...just one look...and I fell...trust me, it was against my reflexes...it was involuntary...
This conversation went on for a while...it was mentally very draining and I dragged it along for a few more days...eventually she gave in and said a YES in late December...
So, after 4 months of being together...I don't regret it one bit...neither does she...
Me: Hey sweetheart...
She: Hey --Smiling...And this ones probably the widest one I've ever seen on her--
Me: Let's go for a ride...
I knew from the beginning that things would work between us...I still vividly remember how it all happened...the first glimpse of her on the side of the glass door...and it was as early as then that I knew that things between us will definitely 'click'...
So here we are...together...and madly in love...at least I am !
P.S. She = Cannon XS120!
