How many times have you guys fallen over and had a guy catch you? I think the chances are zero in your whole lifetime. Yet Zoya, in a span of a few months has had that happening to her about 10 times already!
Why? Why are we the ones who keep falling for these falling scenes? Every time I watch QH and Zoya falls, Asad automatically catches her! I mean, he's ALWAYS around to catch her! And even though for a short span of time, I've seen about a million of those scenes between them, I still go gaga eyed when I sit down with a glass of juice at night and spend half an hour watching QH.
My point in why? We love it so much when the girl falls and the guy catches her. We think of all that it symbolizes, you know, girl will fall in love with the guy, he'll catch her.. blah blah blah.
But last time I bumped into a cute guy, which wasn't long ago.. I didn't fall! In fact, I stumbled backward, became so embarrassed with my lack of co-ordination in front of a hottie like him, that I barely stuttered an apology out. Oh, in my head I'd already started off a clear cut conversation with him, sounding like the charming woman I am!
But the real conversation went:
Me: uhmm.. I'm so sorry
Him: Oh, it's ok don't worry.
Me: smiles slightly and moves away, head down, cursing myself for not being able to say anything better.
Him:
Yeah nothing.. no eye lock that lasts for about 30 seconds.. (and that's a long time people!) no arms around me to stop me from falling in case I did..
Don't even get me started when I've tripped in public! YES! Public humiliation I've gone through and NO ONE catches me then! Where are all the prince charmings when you need them?
I was in quite a hurry, rushing up the stairs. My lecture had just finished and I wanted to catch up with one of my friends. Hard luck man, last step, I end up tripping and falling flat forward, with my arms outstretched as though I'm skydiving! Difference is.. gravity has already pulled me smashing into the floor! So who do I end up falling in front of, besides the whole lecture theatre – I have to thank the One up there for having some mercy on me considering everyone was either leaving or busy packing their bags – 2 GUYS! 2 GUYS and none of them had that instantaneous reaction of suddenly grabbing me and stopping me from feeling mortified! In fact, all I get is (I'm sure with an aftermath of a snicker)
'Are you alright?'
And me? Head down, feeling myself go red,
"Yes, sorry I was in a rush"
And I have to get out of there!
Again..no arms around me..no eye lock.. nothing.
So why on earth is it that Zoya keeps getting all that (when she probably doesn't even need it! He's still gonna love her without her falling onto him every other day!) and I'm the one that keeps getting embarrassed? How fair is this? Not at all! And I still go home and end up watching such scenes that again.. make me go gaga eyed and swoon over Asad Ahmed Khan!
This doesn't happen in reality! I need to sort out reel and real in my life. *sigh*
