Afterglow


In the city of bangalore I am working in INFOSYS BPO is when I had my first encounter with love,all the events that unfolded that led to one beautiful relationship is what you will find if you keep reading
...


February the 25th early morning: i was nervous as i waited for the office cab to arrive,i was waiting for her to comeback from office.I know i haven't introduced anyone,but its important that i wont do that.She emerged out of the cab with a beautiful smile as always.My hands were sweaty as i held her hands,she seems happy to see me wait for her.I was quick to take her to the food court.She turned around and asked "So why did you came early from office?"

[4 hours ago]...She wasnt feeling well,bad cough plus throat pain is never good.She texted me"i am going" without realizing that she was just going to the nurse station to get some medicine i jumped into conclusion that she was leaving early from office,quickly made up a "upset stomach" excuse to sneak out of office early.Before i reached the exit gate i realized that she is still in the office,now cant go back... i told her the same lie "upset stomach ".Her face reflected concern over my health,i was quick to add now i am just FINE! She came into my life just a week ago.

17th feb: I clawed into the office cab,i was always lazy to go for work.I hated the job and the only good thing that happened to me in Bangalore is that i unearthed a wonderful friend..My best buddy Sunil.We work in the same office and i am serving my notice period to leave the job.Sunil asked me why i never cared enough to hook up with someone..some girl all this while.This will always make me list out my CONVENTIONAL CONCEPT THEORY which states [1]The girl should be younger to me which seems impossible to fulfill.In INFOSYS BPO i havnt come across a single girl[who is single] who was born after OCTOBER 15 1989.As i was finishing my explanation to sunil, he pointed at one girl and said she is from Kerala.I just got up from my seat and sat by the seat adjacent to her's.She was listening to music but was quick to respond to my hesitant "hello" .A few minutes of boring first talk followed before i just went back to the seat beside sunil.Sunil had this big grin on his face.Dont know what exactly i was thinking,just found some kind of urge to go talk to her.The next day i eagarly waited to see her didnt find her walking in.Few days followed with no sign of the girl.Over the weekend i let go the thought about the girl i met and started my final countdown to leave the job i hate.
One more week i said to myself as i pushed myself into the office cab,one half of me still wanted to go back to the room and sleep.As i sat in the cab,this time i dint have sunil to give me company [as his shift timing changed] she walked in.....[after spending a considerable amount of time together] we became friends,she will wait for my work shift to be over to go back to the hostel[We work for different process in the same company].She has a cute way of saying things,like a small child she does talk with her hands making perfect picture of the key word in the sentence which just was too much to handle..GOD she got me with those cute little talks!

I couldn't stop thinking about her,soft romantic music started to find priority in my play list,as you know life suddenly appears very colorful and bright[not going into detail on this].I never cared to wake up half an hour before the bus leave for office now i find my self ready for office more than a hour before the departure time.I realized what this means.There were two questions Should i tell her about this?Not that i am scared to tell her but i just got a few days left in Bangalore..whats the point??
The second question kindof answered the first how can i leave without finding out? what if she is the one? there were more than two question ..there were a 1000 questions buzzing inside my head.It took a strong push from Sunil to get me decide that i am gonna find out whether this girl loves me.I have always tried to limit the emotional quotient,i know it will go out of bounce once i start loving someone.So always stayed out of any commitments,i had good friends,loving family why should i risk getting realy realy hurt by falling in love.Love is a feeling driven by what our heart says not logic.Its just like driving a car intoxicated,you might reach home safe but still the probability of you bumping into a tree is quite high.

She figured out that something is bugging me and she by now knew how to make me talk.In the cutest possible way she tried to find out.I felt like i am loosing control of my tongue ,as if she held a remote control to operate my tongue and pressed on the play switch.

3 hours 45 minutes thats the time it took for me to tell her everything and to remove all the elements in this world except us,her dad kept poping into her head every two minutes.I wanted her to trust me with her future,and i know the only concern is family.She finally said those magic words which i was waiting to hear.I wanted to shout a loud YIPEEEE! and kiss her but decided against it as i didnt want to scare the girl who is already worried abt[with all due respect]"hitler DAD" and "gabbar UNCLE" all the possible villains in our love story.

I have been scared my whole life to fall in love,here i let go the fear and followed my heart.I know i can keep her happy and my dad has always laid his trust in all my decisions i have made till date.I know this is one huge decision i made but i am the best person to decide for myself.I assured her i wont take her home without the consent of her family,she loves her dad and i dont want her to hurt him.I said " i will impress your dad and he cant say NO" those words helped to bring back the smile on her face.I held her hands and promised i wont let the smile fade ever.A hard promise to keep but i believe god will excuse me if failed a couple of times,after all life is not a spotless high way.... its a bumpy road.

what happened next?
Its not always a happy ending but i will just skip the messy part of the whole story.I stayed back for her and she didnt let me miss my family back home because she was quick to climb up to reach that part of my heart where the people dearest to me belong....
