The boy kept the bill on their table, she took money from her bag as he picked it up to check it.. he saw the bill.. she said, “ We both have our share in it.. right??”
He wasn’t like other guys who might have thought about this incident as an ego ride.. he n she both knew their purpose of sitting in front of each other.. “paying for two cups of coffee….” After a long pause as he said, “you know guys always pay up for their alcohol n that’s completely respectable..” While keeping money on the table, she confessed with a smile that coffee for her was too as addictive as alcohol would be for guys, N he respected that.. Independent, he thought to himself.. unknowingly feeling that she was just the way he wanted her to be, winding up there.. suddenly his cell buzzed.. as he saw the name on the screen.. “Ahh.. Sorry.. It’s from office.. Don’t mind, please”
she had read what his face had said, looking at her wrist watch she said “ yeah.. yeah.. Not a prob!!”
walking towards the door she saw that it had started drizzling just coming out of the glass door she felt a chill in the air he was still talking on the phone.. he passed her n was about to take a step down.. .. she caught hold of his wrist, he stopped talking n looked back…. She whispered, “its raining..!!” and he simply understood by looking at her lips.. he was amazed with himself.. n so was she.. she hadn’t thought that she would ever hold his hand.. like a lightening she felt his hand..
they shared a comfortable silence..
“why did you look at your watch, when the cell rang..??”
“ Office calls after office hrs amuse me..”
“ if there is an urgent work???”
“at times its ok..”
“ n when it is not ok..??”
“ I don’t mean.. one shouldn’t entertain office calls, but there has to b a line drawn between personal life n professional life”
“ So.. you never get a call…??”
“ I have already notified.. unless its very imp, don’t call.. just text me to keep me informed”
“ Intelligent..!!!”
“ Oh I too learned it from my senior.. I wanted to reply to a client n it was in my understanding “urgent”.. so I had called sir.. n he didn’t pick my call.. twice…. He simply messaged me, text me the problem.. shall reply to you…”
“ Wow.. amazing senior you have!!!!”
Looking at her wrist watch she said “Hmmmmm.. n that’s what I simply follow..”
“ I too will float a mail tomorrow to all.. that’s a nice way to deal it”
realizing that the drizzling had slowed down he said.. “I’ll get my car..” she nodded with smile.. he felt that her smile spoke so many things that she hardly needs to use words.. her smile had made him feel a lot comfortable throughout their conversation.
Trying to gather rain drops on her palm she stood there as he walked by to get his car.. she walked towards the main street.. looking at the dark skies.. hearing the rain drops.. with a thought what if..
as he started his car.. seeing her waiting near the street light.. he too thought what if….
Sitting next to him, with her bag.. her folder bag.. her laptop bag.. cell in her hand.. she just didn’t know.. where to keep it all…. Taking each bag from her n placing it behind.. he helped her out.. for the first time.. he actually smiled at her.. it was like.. for so long everything was under your control, n you can’t manage these silly bags…??? N she too started laughing.. n suddenly they both realized that they understood each other beyond words….
Her cell buzzed.. she looked at him, n said.. “Mom..”
answering it, “ hmmmm..”
“will be home in 20 mins..”
“ No.. jus coffee..”
“ hmmmmm.. hmmmmm..”
He thought does she know any other words then humming??
she said.. “Should we meet again..??”
her sudden question.. he looked at her and with a firm voice said “yesss”
She looked out of the window.. it had started raining badly…. There were thunders as well.. and she turned towards him.. “ oh you know my place..??”
a easy yes came from him.. he put on the music system.. the radio started.. before he could adjust volume or any button.. “Put your fav CD naaa”
“ that’s what I was doing.. you too don’t like listening the radio..??”
“ not really.. the Rj’s speak a lot.. you know..”
“seems like you lose the rhythm of the songs” Both said it at the same time.
