It was 9:17 am on July the 5th, 2015 and I was at my desk in office checking e-mails, the first thing I do after I reach office, when I saw this promotional message about some company in my Inbox on LinkedIn. It was one of those general messages, a typical marketing move to make their services more noticeable and build professional relationships with people walking in the same direction. Unfortunately, I couldn't really pay attention to it at that point in time as I had more important things to do. They definitely caught me 2 days after that, when they sent me that message again. I thought I should acknowledge this time and I did. Well, that was what started a conversation between me and him, the owner of that business. He was interesting and to my surprise just after exchanging few e-mails on LinkedIn he said, "I have also sent you a friend request from fb - lets chat over there , linked in doesn't really send me a reminder whenever someone messages Hope thats ok !!".
I have heard of love at first sight before, but this was something like love on e-mails, an unbelievable attraction.
He was articulate, intelligent, had a voice that women love. Our conversations over the phone, text chats, would never end. There was something special in the air around me which made me check my phone twice in a minute for a message from him, guess was a mad phase. He felt likewise. We would share every idea, every thought and everything that happened in our lives so different. We had only seen pictures of each other, no video chats, nothing at all. There was some connection between us. Before entering the house after office, he would sit in his car for hours to speak over the phone. We had never met! And all this happened for 4 months, unbelievable, isn't it?
22nd August, 2015 at 12:00 noon:
His flight landed and I was right there at the Airport to pick him up.
He was in front of me and I couldn't believe that moment. I took a deep breath and smiled. My eyes were shining like pearls and he was laughing!
He dropped his bag and came closer. Can I get the most awaited hug now, please?
I laughed and grabbed him. I just couldn't breathe properly. He was a handsome guy!
We made our way to the Hotel, somewhere on the hills near my city, where we were supposed to stay for that day till the next one.
We reached there by the evening, and went to our room where there was a bottle of wine. Couldn't wait to pour in each glass.
Phew! I still haven't caught my breath. I don't believe you're sitting next to me and that I am looking at you in real.
All he did was just laughing at my reactions.
You're a crazy woman, you know that? Just one of your kind. Looking in my eyes and smiling.
I don't know what is happening, I am so confused. I don't know what to do.
He got up from the chair and opened that one little window in our room. I couldn't wait to go and settle my arms on the window pane. It was beautiful, the view.
Let this night be the best for our love.
He hugged me from behind, put his arms around me and whispered
You have taken care of yourself a lot and it's my turn to take care of you now. Let this kind of girl be mine. I would not be at peace if I go back without you, if I am not able to make sure that you have all the happiness for the rest of your life and if I am not able to make such moments for you. I love the kind of character you are and I need you around me for real, all the time.
Thank God we were not facing each other when he said all that. I wouldn't know how to react. That was the sweetest thing someone said to me ever.
Turning me around. I had a glum look on my face. I was overwhelmed.
He cornered me towards the other wall and kissed me, his fingers interlocking mine. It certainly was the best night for our love.
