MY LOVE; MY STORY
"Hey I'm your best friend, won't you do this for me?" saying this he persuaded me. Like he always does for he knows I can never deny him. He planned a pseudo date for us to make 'her' feel jealous.
Sharp at 8pm my knight in shining armour arrived at my place. And I, dressed in a 'Cinderella gown' tried to look my best. He took my hand, opened the car door and made me sit-- all signs of a true date; but I kept on reminding myself its all fake, I'm just to play my part. He drove the car and all my cautions meandered their way out of my mind. The slow soft music melted into my ears and I couldn't help but stare at his face; his broad forehead, his thick bushy brows, his sharp, bright eyes that shone like diamonds, his thin tinge of moustache and his heart winning smile. I couldn't help but think this is how we are meant to be, together. Immediately I gathered my consciousness and cursed myself for even thinking this way. As the car moved he looked at me and said, "Are you nervous?" I quickly turned my eyes from his face and fumbling for a moment I finally said, "No no.. Not at all. What's there to be nervous about? Are you?"
He quickly responded, "Oh yea! Of course I'm. Don't know how she'll react; whether she'll finally accept her feelings for me or not. They say jealousy is always the best way to realise their true feelings. I hope it doesn't fail this time!" I patted his shoulder and meekly pronounced, "don't worry". But only I knew how each of his words created a tumult in my mind and heart. We reached the restaurant n he took me to the table booked for us. He pulled the chair for me, made me sit and then took his seat. I smiled at him and said, "She is the luckiest girl to get your love"
"And I'm the luckiest guy to have you as a bestie. You're such a blessing." He promptly replied..
I turned around and stared at every table trying to guess who that girl would be who has already made my bestie fall in love with her head over heels. Unable to control my anxiousness I asked him, "is she here already? Where is she? Which girl? Show me. I'm dying to see her."
"Have patience my dear. I'll show you."
"I can't hold on any more. I want to see her now." I ordered.
"OK. OK. Come with me.."
He took me into a narrow passage towards the exit of the place and said, "Turn around and you'll see her"
And so I turned around only to find a long mirror adorning the wall. Angry and disgusted I said,
"Is this any kind of a joke? I can see no one here"
"No one? How could this be? She is supposed to be there? Check again. What do u see?" He pushed against the wall with his hands folded staring at me as hard as he could; a mysterious look on his face. I turned again, this time disgusted with his stupid prank.
"Where ? Where is she ah? Come here.. Show me. "
He stood behind me, put his face on my shoulder and with one hand he pointed at my image in the mirror,
"There u go. That's my girl. Isn't she beautiful?"
My eyes widened. Drops of perspiration tickled my forehead. My throat was as dry as wood. I stood there numb, still as stone. For few moments I felt I was dreaming; I couldn't respond.
Then he put his arms round my waist and whispered into my ears, "Its you.. It was always you.. I couldn't say cz I didn't want to lose you.. I love you"
"I love you too" I finally spoke my heart and with tears brimming in my eyes, I hugged him tight, like I'll never let him go..
And this is how begun the sweetest, most romantic n most happening love story; my story
