Random Day,office food court(FC), Time :10:00 AM.

I was having my break fast with my friends. I love Mornings. Everyone around was full of energy. Their faces were beaming like the morning rays of sun. and the girls around brought more color to that morning .There are many beautiful girls around .I always believed in “Beauty should be admired”.So I play my role as an avid admirer of the most beautiful creation on this planet called “Woman”. This is a wonderful world I thought and smiled.

That is the first time I saw her. she was moving swiftly through a mob.I was completely taken aback by her.I was unable to figure out whether her first sight brought me a surprise or a shock. For the first time I could not decode a girl’s face. I cant call it beautiful or cute or bubbly or homely. It was not ugly either.I am unable to pick the right adjective to describe it. Her eyes are grayish and are deeply set .she wore a nose ring which doesn’t add any extra elegance.Her hair was short and cut till her neck and was set loose. There was no hair band. she was about 5″ 5′ in height and dressed in black tee and blue jeans.Most of the women I knew were crazy about their clothing.They are very particular about what they are wearing. Some wore same color tip to toe,the matching matching types or the ones who sported the tight clothing in order to flaunt their curves.I respect their choice. But this girl seems to have no interest in her apparels at all. The way she carried her dress is almost like it had never existed. It seemed like she was not interested in pleasing others.Its not that she dint have any dressing sense.She neither a Mrs.MissMatch nor an awkward looking.There is a certain simplicity in her clothing which you notices at a first glance.

I kept staring at her nose ring and wondered whats its prominence to be present there and then I realized that she had noticed my interest in her. Then I casually turned aside as if  she was just an obstruction in my view and mocked like seriously listening to my friend’s philosophy lecture. But soon I couldn’t resist and I turned to her. This time our eyes met. Her eyes were completely blank. I could not read her mind. She did not break the eye contact, nor did not protest. There was no sign of fear. she did not smile or shy away. This girl has certain Super natural power in her I thought. Then suddenly she turned away and smiled at someone.A fake smile. The person might be a friend or colleague or boy friend. I never saw him in the campus before. He signaled to her that they shall leave and then they both left. I kept looking in that direction until she was lost and she did not turn back.

Random Day, Place FC, Time around 6 PM

I saw her many times since then.That day, She was present along with their team there .Her appearance was as if she did not take bath that day.She wore a Navy blue sweat shirt.They were a team of 8. It appeared like an informal Tea gathering.I was sitting across her table sipping my coffee.My gaze fixed into my E-reader. Her friend was also present there and he was seated right in front of her. Everyone in the team cracked some joke and looked at her for her approval.They want her to like them. An elderly man of age nearly 45 spoke for 5 mins and when he finished he looked at her begging for her consent . She sat crossed legged clasping her right knee with her hands. she gave her approvals or shown her consent with a little nod or with a slight blink of her eyes. Although she was one of the youngest members of the team she ruled that group like a lone crusader. Her looks thumped everyone under her feet. There is a certain mystery about this girl. She is not what she is being projected I thought. “You are fooling everyone around you stupid woman” I said to myself and laughed. Then she suddenly turned towards me as if she read my mind. There was a sudden twitch in her posture. She knew at the moment that she was being discovered by an unknown man. She looked at me angrily as if I discovered her naked body. She started realizing that I am able to understand her  in exhibited pain,anger and hatred. She suddenly made a face as if I have introduced her to a long  lasting devil which she hated to notice its presence. She became restless for a moment and then to my surprise suddenly she was back to her cool and composed pose. For a moment I thought I won over her. But she was back as if she has breathed a ton of oxygen after being spent years without it.  But my conscience told me that she was being humiliated by some unknown force.I hoped I could help her. Then suddenly I realized I was getting late for my bus, got up and started walking.

Random Day, Place FC, Time 5.00 PM

It has been 1 month since I first saw her and she knew my existence by then and started to feel it.I was having tea with my besties. She along with her friend sat diagonally across which is about 3 tables from us. She had noticed me the moment I have entered the FC. They have finished their snacks. Her friend bid a good bye to her and left her. She stood up and starting walking towards other corner of the FC to dispose off her plate. She left her wallet and hand bag on the table. Then I had realized it was a golden chance and decided to grab the chance.So I picked up the samosa token from my friend. A piece of white paper which has bill printed in black ink on one side and empty on the other. I borrowed pen from other and scribbled something on the paper. I ran on to her table and placed that below her wallet very swiftly as if I have mastered the act. Then I came back and took my seat. She did not notice what I had done.

Once I returned to my friends they took their turns to threw their bag of emotions on me.

“Why you always create problem for yourself?” said one.

“What did you write this time?” enquired the other.

“I dont find her interesting at all?I never saw you waste your time on such unattractive girls” said another.

“She is the most attractive girl I ever saw” I said smiling.

“I pray to God that at least this girl should face up and slap Surya” chuckled another mockingly.

“Oh let me guess your line.You are the most interesting girl in the campus right now. Am I right?” enthusiastically asked my other friend.

“That he already wrote for that pink dress girl long ago” dismissed the other.

My only female friend on the table cursed me for the 100th time after realizing what I did.

“By the way what was your line my friend” inquired my best friend very politely.

“It is something special” I said.

“Wait..Dont say that you have proposed to her?” asked the other shockingly.

“No.” I said assuringly.

“Thank God” said my female friend taking a deep breath.

“It is More than that” I said in a low voice.

“Oh My God..!!You asked her to marry you?” shouted an another.

 and then everyone bursted into a loud laughter.

“Guys..she is approaching her table.Check this out” alerted one of my friend who was eagerly waiting for things to turn hot.

She approached the table and sat down.Then noticed the piece of paper, picked it up read it .

“How would she know that you are the one who wrote that?” inquired one of my friends sounding smart.

“She wont. she will look around wearing question mark face..” declared the other.

“She will..Just sit and watch” I said confidently.

She raised her head slowly and looked towards me. There was no sign of any emotion for a moment.

“Mar gaya sala” chuckled one of my friends.

“Shhh..” silenced the other.

Then she began to laugh. A victorious one. As if she realized that she got a partner for some crime here.Then she smiled looking into my eyes. It was a child like smile. There was no contempt or revulsion in that smile.It was the most guiltless, serene and wholehearted smile I ever saw in my life. Her face beamed with pride which I could not define. Her eyes seemed like are the most valuable properties at that moment. I would give my life to own them I thought. No.I did not smile back. I expected that. I know it made both of us feel better.

My friends shouted a loud “Whoa..!!” in unison.

“What did you write,you fucker?” cried my friend. It was a cry of joy.

“Dare to believe me?” I questioned gaily.

“Yes” said the other

“Fuck off..you bitch” I said in a sharp tone.

Suddenly everyone got silenced. It was an awkward silence.

after 10 seconds one of my friends slowly whispered “what?you wrote those exact words on a piece of a paper and she smiled back reading that? Is she mad?I did not understand whats going on”

“I fully understood” I said.

I felt an utmost lightness in my heart and body.The lightness of a feather being blown away by night wind.

She kept staring at me cheerfully all these time holding that piece of paper in her hand. I kept looking at her admiringly. Then she put it that slip in her bag and left casually as if nothing had happened.

I did not see her again since then. She was literally disappeared. and I was not surprised.
