Day 3: She was getting in at her usual station. After only two casual sightings, she has had an impression on me. They way she shows her pass to the person checking, the way she radiates her persona, the subtle smile that she always has in her face, all looks so very poetic for me. Once again when she looked in my direction, our eyes meet and a mutual acknowledging smile followed. The smile and almost everything associated with our so called interaction is a pleasure for me. Though I did try not to embarass her by constantly staring, my self control had been put to its greatest test. After a tough days work this is a welcome relief. and meeting the same person in this busy modern life is as serendipitous as one can hope for. So without too much more thoughts, i just let myself drown in this little fun of mine till she gets down.
Day 5: Today is the day. From Monday till Thursday I was lucky. So if she gets in today, i will definitely have a small chat with her. Possibly we will share this bus journey for long or she she could get out of station the very next week. So with quite a bit of excitement I was looking at the entrance at her stop. And she did not disappoint me. She came in armed with her smile. She, within a few moments, looked at my direction. And There I was ready to return her complement and smile back. This particular day has been a very good one for me. My work, a call from a good friend and many more small things going my way. Confidence has been building in me for quite sometime. And today for the second time there was another casual eye contact. And another smile. I waved at her, as her stop was approaching. Another small head nod and she was ready to get down.
I quickly followed her . Still there were quite some people between us. The railway station stop is one of the most busiest in the entire route. I slowly made my way through the deluge of people. she was a few meters away from me now. I got close to her and was almost on par with her. "Hello miss, excuse me", I started. There was absolutely no reaction from here. she kept on going ahead. I tried my luck once again. this time with a stronger tone. No response still. My pride was hurt. I was not sure if I should barge in front of her. The tagline of maturity was weighing heavily on my back. So confused I stood there weighing up my options. She continued with with her brisk walk. As she was about to cross the road, some thing happened with her sandals. She was busy correcting that. A speeding car was approaching her and blaring out its horn. There was absolutely no reaction from her. For a moment I was shocked and was dumbfounded. Thankfully a passerby pulled her off just in time and I breathed a sigh of relief. She said sorry in a language that was music to my eyes and mind. She apologised to the driver and the person who helped her in what looked like a sign language. I exactly know in what direction I want to walk now.
