Was this expected from him, can he actually read my mind..? he turned and said, “I hope you like choco-chips..?” She just wanted to say off course I do.. but didn't want to sound obvious so she just smiled.. walking together towards the car, eating that ice cream, they both were silent.. the peace between the two was perfect, She wanted to talk, but decided not to..He too wanted to talk to her, thinking how unnecessarily they both had been professional when they met, things seemed to be so casual and in place when they were together., Dropping her back home, and waving her bye was as if he was leaving a part of him. He didn't understand what was happening to him, but he wasn't happy to leave her off.. that much he understood about himself.. She was too in her dreamy world, happy that he came and they spent a little time it amused her how easily they had parted ways and how destiny was trying to get them together again.. Her thoughts were all about him.. that urge to know him.. a sudden sense of curiosity rather the ignorance.. she could see all the possibilities now.. she could imagine a life with him now.. was it love.. she thought and paused.. 

hmmmmmm 15

“My mom.. I cook along with her.. I’m not a very good chef.. but Sundays me n dad help her out..” she was relieved by that answer.. “Ahhh your mother..” “and what did you think..?” she didn’t want to answer it.. but she knew she was trapped.. “I thought.. smone special…” she looked down and answered “I didn’t have anyone special till now..” oh no.. he said what came to his mind.. was that right thing to do.. No.. he thought.. “Till now..??” his cell buzzed.. he thanked god for it.. “yes mom.. I’ve got the car.. will reach in half an hour..” “yaa ya..” “Oh k.. I’ll get it.. anythg else..?” “fine.. I’ll bring that too..” “Can we go to Spencer’s daily near your house? Or should I drop you first..?” “You wanna buy..?” “cheese and some oregano” “fine.. we’ll go..” He parked the car, she waited for him at the entrance. They both walked together, jus lik a perfect couple.. only thing was remaining was to hold hands.. she showed him the cheese counter jus by tilting her neck.. n they walked towards it.. he added it to the basket, turning around he didn’t find her along with him.. he panicked that was so not him.. but he thought he lost her.. n where.. when did she leave him.. where had she gone… Tapping on his back, she stood there with the oregano bottle in her hand.. offering it to him.. he wanted to shout at her.. where had she suddenly disappeared.. couldn’t she jus inform before moving around.. he thought.. “ are we done here now.. or anything else..?” her question brought him to his senses.. he was amazed by his very own thought of having authority over her.. he showed his thumbs up.. “done..!!” they walked to the billing counter.. she looked at the ice cream chiller.. he noticed her looking at the ice cream boards.. “Ice cream..?” “Hmmmmm..” she winked her eyes.. they walked towards the counter.. he started to wonder which flavor she would order.. she was thinking will he also eat choco chips..? or should I ask him.. No I’ll jus order two choco chips.. I hope he’ll lik it.. reaching the counter.. he said, “two choco chip cones please..”she looked at him with surprise.. 

“His sister is waiting for us.. at the music corner.. I was suppose to go there after this party.. luckily he saw me and thought of picking me up..” “yaa yaa.. she is waiting for us.. she said she would be there by 7..” looking at the watch, 7 30 it was.. she said, “We are already late.. isn’t it..?” “yes we are.. but if you are in the middle of the party then..” he too wanted to pull her leg.. she gave him that, ‘you are in trouble look’.. which made him say..
“ we’ll leave in 5 mins.. after you say bye to all…” wow he had managed it.. he was getting to know her.. and understand how she thought.. wht she expected.. he patted himself for doin so..
“yaa I will jus say bye to Gargi and Darshana.. and come in a minute..” she hurriedly went in there.. spoke a little.. waved a hi to him from there.. n Gargi n Darshana saw him.. he could see that the girl who spoke abt his jacket said smthg to her.. n she seemed to defend the talk.. he shrugged his shoulders..

they were sitting in the car.. laughing..
“ I don’t have your number..” “ I don’t have your number…” wow.. both said the same thg at the same point.. coincidence at its best.. they continued to laugh..
“Thanks ya.. you came and rescued me..” he thought, that’s what charming prince like me does…
“ hmmmm.. not a prob..” “ so is smone actually waiting for you..?” she asked.. without hiding her extra curiosity..
“Yes..” he calmly answered “Oh.. I’m sorry.. because of me.. you would be late..” “No no.. she’ll understand..” wanting to know her reaction on it he answered. “Oh.. where is she waiting.. movie.. dinner plans..?” she couldn’t hide her jealousy but controlled it. “ At home.. for dinner.. she’ll be cooking n on Sundays I help her cooking..” “Oh..” puzzled she was, but wasn’t sure to ask anythg further..

She was sitting in the window.. gazing outside.. the evening time had created many shades of blues, oranges, purple in the skies.. the clouds were floating by.. it was kind of her hobby to see the clouds.. the various shades of colours especially at the sun set time.. she always thought that capturing these shades in lens, wht photographers craved to do.. was so lame.. she felt what eyes can store is remarkable.. and when you are tryin to capture it, you are more focused on the photos.. not justifyin the view or enjoyin the moment.. cause all that mattered was the photo…..Her thoughts glided from the photographers.. to the pics that her dad liked to click.. her brothers collage ideas.. her presentations.. and all that broke….

“Hey.. have you come here to sit alone in this window..?” Nishad asked.

“Oh.. so sorry..”

“Lets go on the dance floor.. get upp girl…” “I don’t dance.. I don’t.. please.. ” she hesitated. As he pulled her up.. and took to the dance floor… Someone from the street looked at her.. n she turned around to see who it was.. she saw him.. he smiled.. she was amazed to see him.. but sort of happy too.. her smile gave him the confidence to get out of the car and walk towards the café.. walking up the steps.. he thought I should take out this bugger jacket.. taking out would mean that he was concern abt wht that girl thought.. which he wasn’t.. was he….? Entering the café his eyes searched for her.. he saw her.. but she was shyly dancing with some guy.. she was wearing a dress.. knee length gown.. white with silver and purple delicate work.. diamond studs were sparkling as she moved her head with the tune.. he would see her face through her bouncy hair.. tall..!! he thought as he saw her heels.. She noticed him.. n smiled beautifully.. walking towards him.. that guy caught her hand.. she said smthg.. he let her go… seeing them.. smthg happened in his heart.. it hurt.. oh.. he was jealous.. n he didn’t knw why he was…“thank god.. you are here..” “oh.. I jus was taking my car back.. the mechanic’s shop is jus next to this building..” he was explaining which he never did.. but he was.. “ ohh.. so now your car is fine..?” “yaa ya.. some engine problem.. a part had to be changed so had got it to the garage” again he was explaining.. oh god what is wrong with me.. why am I telling her all this.. he said to himself.. “hmmmm..” she said.. that guy came near them.. “oh.. sorry Nishad.. a frnd of mine is here.. so came to say hi..” “hey.. you can join us too..” the party mood was high.. “ oh.. I have to leave.. have smone out there waiting for me..” excusing himself from there..” she suddenly said, “ohh.. she must be waiting for us.. isn’t it??” he was puzzled.. wht?? Who she..??
