A real life story...Part I

Well I was pretty disappointed with what i wrote in post “Moving ahead”… because people close to me said I’m getting into that web again..and i don’t want to. So i thought of writing something all together different. This one is a mix of fact n fiction…story of someone close to me. I still wish she gets back her love..

Background: The scenario is two people who have been in love.. meet each other after their breakup in a cafe.

(After the usual hi and hellos..they settle down..they try not to look into each other's eye. I guess they fear they might fall in love all over again..but liars..they are still in love. Don’t know they lying to each other or to themselves? She is thinking god he still looks so handsome..what made me leave him..and he thinks she has really got into very good shape… :) The waiter props up... )

He: one black coffee for the lady...

She(in mind): oh he still remembers i like black coffee.

She: One dosa…of course for the guy...

(And they both smile..a restrictive smile..they start talking about what they have been doing off late..a very objective kind of conversation. He gets a call...)

He: Excuse me...!
(He is smiling while talking… )

She(in mind): oh my god.. he is even blushing..must be someone special..oh so he forgot me so soon..n here i m still thinking about him.

(She is caught staring at him..she just smiles and looks away..he joins later…She wants to ask who called up..very desperately..but how can she? She no more has the right to ask..n she puts a plain expression on her face. As if he is reading her mind...he says.. )

He: That was my bro's gf...
(n she takes a deep sigh.)

She(in mind): Of course he hasn’t found someone so soon..he wasn’t that kind of ever.

(She wants to explain she wasn’t being suspicious..it's just how gals are..but she chooses not to speak. While they start having what they ordered.. she realizes.. oh his ringtone...)

She(in mind): that’s my favorite song. I think he still loves me..no.. he doesn’t. that’s his favorite song as well...

He(in mind): She is wearing my favorite color black..no... that must just be a coincidence..

How time has changed..there wasn’t a day when they met and didn’t comment or complimented each other. But of course time has changed..she hands over a tissue to him..n he takes it in such an edgy way..fears he might touch her hand.. oh that’s the reason he didn’t have the usual handshake when we met. There were days when the first thing they wanted to do is hug each other..but now..time has changed..n they start talking about cricket, politics.. movies..n they both wonder it's been an hour n in spite of having different opinions they are coolly talking about everything..no arguments nothing. Have they grown up or is it they don’t bother each other with their opinions? they don’t wanna prove who’s right n who’s not..wish they were like this months before..in that case they would have still being together..but time has changed..will continue to change either…

will continue later…
