FF: A World of Our Own - IMPT NOTE (PAGE 8)

I stood rooted the ground. How could someone look so handsome, so flawless and so prefect? Suddenly I realized that very person was staring back at me. "Oops" I thought and pretended that nothing happened. I stole small glances at this stranger guy again and quickly left the mandir for school.

I arrived in school all refreshed and ready to present my final project presentation. Though my mind was fully immersed in preparing for my presentation, I caught myself thinking about that cute guy again and again.

"Geet, stop it! We need to present our project well. Just hold back your emotions and we can day dream later." I told myself. My turn to present came and I successfully presented well with confidence. After my presentation was over I went over to meet pinky at the canteen.

"Pinkyyy! Finally we are done with this degree programme! All of four years of hard work!" I told her excitedly. "Yes Geet, cannot believe that we are already done. So fast uh. We should plan an outing soon with the rest of our clique." she said.

Suddenly Pinky looked at my face and kept smiling ."By the way, why are you glowing so much today?" she teased. "Arrey, nothing yaar, just happy that we are over with all this." I beamed.

Internally I was dying to tell her about that guy I saw in the mandir. But I decided I should wait for a while more before I revealed it to her. What if this was just an infatuation at the moment kind of thing?

We continued talking awhile more over a cup of tea and we both retired to our respective home. I went home and freshened up and sat on my bed cuddling my pillow. I felt very relieved that now I will have all the time to slack and enjoy life as it is. After four years of utmost determination and hardwork, I really needed this break till my results and graduation ceremony was up.

That night somehow I didn't feel hungry and I went to bed early as I was getting more and more restless thinking about that guy from the mandir.

That night turned out to be my best nights of all. Never in my life have had a dream like I had. I actually dreamt about that guy. I dreamt that He actually had came all the way to my house. I spent my entire day with him in my house. The best part was he left my house leaving his number behind, asking me to give him a call. I still remember him saying "Geet, do give me a call dear. We shall go on a date when you are free. You are really an interesting person." And after this line I startled up.

I woke up perspiring. I could not believe that I actually dreamt about a stranger whom I know nothing about. This increased my heart beat and I certainly started to think about him more. I could not stand it further. Though it was 5am in the morning, I picked up my phone and called pinky up. I filled pinky in with all the details.

Pinky was surprised beyond words. "Geet what are you saying. You are having a crush on a stranger. You crazy woman, just let this emotions pass my dear and all will be alright. There is no way that you can even find out anything about him. Meanwhile, I can still tease you with him, lets name him Mandir Guy, MG!"she chirped over the phone. "Pinky, you and I know that I also cannot be serious about this guy! To the world I am single but you know that I am not single right now. You know how I am dating that guy, Mark. I know you are going to say its online and we cannot be sure because we have not met in real and all. But I love him. He loves me. Though we are dating online, I have always felt it was real. I really wonder when I will get to meet Mark in person. This MG is really making me restless at the same time. Arghh. Nevermind Pinky. I am sorry that I disturbed your sleep. We shall meet up in the afternoon. For now, let me go online and see if Mark is there. Bye." I told her.

"Okay Geet, as you wish. Please take care. Love you. Bye!" and she hang up the phone. I went and switched on my laptop and I saw Mark online. I smiled to myself. I was about to start a conversation with him when he himself started the ball rolling first.

Mark: Hi Honey, looks like you are up so early. The time has come finally for us to meet. Hehe. Are you excited baby? (:

I looked at that sentence and I got excited and at the same time anxious. I took abit of time to think on what to type out. I was about to type out my reply and suddenly my handphone started to buzz. I totally fainted when I saw the number on the phone.
