Swaron SS : love at first sight (Note on pg 8)

December 30^th 2013...somewhere in New York, USA

I was walking down the lane lost in my thoughts. It was day before New Year. I so wished I could be back in India with my family friends welcoming New Year. I remembered those celebrations we had together. I so miss them. I miss my family. A lone tear made itz way. I wiped it off and looked around. I saw some workers decorating the streets, while some were busy clearing the snow which covered the street. Kids were playing around. People around were seen with the shopping bags. New York City was getting ready to welcome New Year.

My cell beeped. I removed it out from my pocket. My eyes were fixed on my cell. At the same time a girl was proceeding towards me from opposite direction. She was busy shuffling through her iPod. we both were engrossed in our own world, and did not notice each other coming and ended up on bumping with each other. Her ipod slipped from her hand and fell on ground. "crap" I heard her saying "I am sorry" I utter ". i was unable to see her face as she was looking down at her ipod and also because of the hood of her jacket which was covering her face. We both bent down together to lift it up and dis time we banged our forehead. "ouch" she yelled while rubbing her forehead without looking at me. She lifted her left hand and singled me to stop and she picked up her ipod.

Finally she stood up to looked at me. "you moron..are you blind??" she asked me with full of attitude while she was trying to switch on her ipod which was probably dead by now. She gave me angry look and she spend next 5mins yelling at me and while I got lost in her beauty. She looked pretty. Her fair skin..silky hair which was left open..small cute nose..angelic eyes and her lips..thinking about which brought smile on my face. I had never come across someone as beautiful as her. There was something about her. I could not stop myself from starring at her face especially her eyes. May be she was my dream girl. I found her cute. I wanted to compliment her but den I stopped dis was definitely not d ryt tym to do so. I was lost in my thoughts without realizing d fact that she was getting more irritated by every passing second probably she noticed d smile on my face. "m I cracking any joke over here" she asked me loud and clear. Her voice brought me back to reality. I realized what stupidity I was doing and I stopped smiling. "I am sorry" I blurted out. "not again" she was annoyed by now this was probably third time I was saying sorry to her. I mentally slapped myself. "ill fixed it" I took d ipod from her hand. I tried pressing all d buttons possible hoping it will come back to life, hoping for some magic but no god was not on my side. The ipod was officially dead. I noticed her eyes fixed on me. "r u done??' she asked me. "hmm ya..i am so" "cut it out" I kept quite. "give me your ph no" "sorry" "ohh god..give me your mob no". I could not understand what exactly she was trying to do. But a beautiful girl was asking for my number definitely I could not say no. I gave her my number. "itz Swayam" I don't knw why but I had an urge to introduce myself. She saved my no as Swayam into bracket moron. I read it. I just gave her smile in return. Next moment she clicked a photo of mine. "excuse me" I starred at her. "take this ipod I want it repaired by tomorrow..ill see u around 7pm at same place..and if u don't turn up ill sue you". By now I was shocked to see her reaction. She placed her ipod on my palm. "and let me make you one think very much clear..don't try to escape ..i really mean it when I said ill sue you". My mouth was wide open. I tried replaying in mind what happened few second back was she d same girl whom I was dreaming about..who I just referred to as cute and considered as my dream girl..did she just say she will sue me. It took me few mins to understand d whole situations. She ws still staring at me and I was still confused. She turned around to walk. "btw what's your name?" I asked her "none of your business Mr". I saw her walking away. I stood der for while and then made my way back to home.

Next day at dance academy.

I was preparing a new routine. Somehow I could not concentrate. Her face was constantly flashing in front of my eyes. Resulting constant smile on my face.

"Good morning rockstar" I heard voice frm behind and turned around to look in d direction of voice. It was Ishika my only Indian colleague and my best friend.

"good morning moti" I said with smile.

"so who is she" while placing her bag on rack.

"what?".

"what what..vahi jiske bareme sochke kuch der pehle aap manhi man muskura rahe the"

I decided to keep quite. She knew me just too well. "abh bata bhi..is she beautiful??"

"hmm ya kind off" i picked up d towel nearby to wipe of my face and which also helped me to hide d smile which had crept out. She walked towards me "oye hoy janab blush kar rahe hai" she said while pulling my cheeks. I threw towel on her face with fake anger "what rubbish" "tell me d truth" "are moti kuch nahi hai bathane ko..i just met her and" "and" she asked me in excitement "and nothing" while spoiling her excitement.. She climbed on stool nearby and screamed out loud "m so happy today...Mr Swayam shekhawat is finally in love" . i pulled her and covered her face with my hand "moti tu marwayi gi mujhe ek din" ache chod nam bata" "nam..pata nahi" "what do u mean by pata nahi??" "pata nahi matlab pata nahi" and i narrated her entire story in brief.

She was listening to me patiently minute I stopped she burst out laughing. "did she say she will sue you" she asked me pausing her laughter for second. I gave her disgust look. She finally composed herself "so what now" "I need favor" "what is dat??" "bas aaj ki class sabhalena so that I can get dis ipod repaired" i removed the ipod from my pocket and showed it to her. "let me think" she said with mischievous look. "chal abh bhav mat kha..i am leaving..sham ko milte hai" "lekin maine ha kabh kaha" "na bhi tho nahi kaha" I wink at her. I picked up bag and turned around lst tym to say byee and left from der.
