When a Guy meets a girl!

We as humans meet a lot of people in our lives...some really inspire us...some really annoy us...some simply sweep us off our feet...all it takes a meeting...a single "Hi"...single "hello"....single look and a single nod of the head...these interactions are awesome and can tell you whether you are attracted towards an individual or are detested by the person...all in all, it is really fun to walk (as a third person) when a guy meets a girl for the 1st time...

Once i was at a coffee shop where i was hanging around waiting for my late but idiotic friends...it was a nice cool monsoon evening where the rain gods had mercy on us (in mumbai we have to say that nowadays)...it was "love is in the air" kind of atmosphere....i was missing someone....But just when i was about to enter my dream house where my queen would shower loads of love, food, drinks, and tv on me, my attention was caught by a couple next to my table...I could make out that they were meeting for the 1st time...the setup was perfect....both were very neatly dressed...hair combed and all....he had a mobile in his hand which he kept fiddling around (sign of nervousness)...there was a modestly big bouquet on the table whcih took around 25% of the table top space...a typical amateur setting...In my life i had never seen a guy so much hesitated to talk to a girl!!! This guy no doubt was a macho in his college but here i wish there was someone from his college so that i could join them to pull his leg....anyways, the waiter came to take the order:

"you want cafe frappe?"

"No" said the girl... "just a Americano would be fine"

"ok....one americano for the girl and a mochachinno for me"

Once the waiter left, the girl asked him "You knw this is the 1st time i have been in this part of town..does it rain here more often"!!...Now what kind of a question was that!!! Of course dear, you havent travelled to Sri Lanka to meet this guy...but i have to give her credit...she made the 1st move...the guy looked petrified by the question...as if his HOD has caught him applying super glue onto her chair (swear i didnt do it)....The guy responded.."Yea it does....the trees save a lot of rain from falling on us...they r really a life saver"..said our environment concerned friend! Then it began....a contest to decide which one of them is more environment friendly....Eventually the guy had to give in...the girl won Round 1!!!

The time rolled on...my friends arrived and then left for some work...i choose to stay back....as i am too lazy to move...all the while my friends were there...just out of curiousity my attention was on the couple...every now and then the guy would either crack some 2 cent jokes which even joke book makers dont publish....and the girl laughed as she was advising a orbit white ad with Dr. Bhatavdekar!! Finally it was 8:30 pm...the girl spoke something about curfew which meant that she had to leave early....the guy agreed that it was the case....now came the difficult part....asking for another date!! Gathering his courage in a way as if he was going to spit, he asked her," you knw i had a nice time today....we should meet more often...u still owe me the cup of coffee"...smart bugger....asking for coffee when he just finished 2 cups himself here....

"hahahahaha" (OOOOOOORRRRRRRBIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTT)......."i would love to meet again...but wont be till end of the month"...the guy froze...'why would she not meet me after having such an awesome time'...He saw his entire bragging speech which he was going to use in front of his friends flash before his eyes! He mustered up his courage and asked the most idiotic question of all "You didnt enjoy this evening?"...The girl gave out a hugh laugh which scared the hell out of me! "No silly.. i did enjoy...actually i am going out of station in the next week and will only be back by the end of the month...dont worry i really enjoyed ur company and had a blast..u are a delight to hang out with"

Battle won!!!! the guy was doing jumping jacks in his head but only had a modest smile on his face. As the girl left and was about to turn into the corner, in typical hindi film style she turned around and gave a nice little wink and a wave at the guy! Once she was out of sight, i saw the dude, jump around as if he was Elmor Fud who had just caught Bugs Bunny!!!

Months passed...i forgot about this little observation....Then one fine day, i was at a restruant wanting anxiously for my pasta to come when i heard the scary laughter again...i remember it becoz like that day, i jumped out of my seat even this time...i frantically searched around for the source of terror and found that same girl at a table with a guy.....images of the coffee shop came flashing back!!! the Orbit white laughter, the VPJs (very pathetic jokes) everything! I saw the guy she was with...this time around there was no distance between them, they were as close as they could be in a public place...moreover they were soooo in love!

Sometimes, Magic happens when a guy meets a girl!!
