P.S. The matter of fact- When she was around me, with me, it’s like every dream I ever had was standing right in front of me.

CHAPTER 2

Together we reached the Sector 16 metro station and we took a rickshaw to Sector 19. It was there I was going to stay. I didn’t knew the address. I just remembered the way from my last trip. We dropped my luggage there and we left for Noida City Centre. It was sector 49 where she lived in a PG. We sat in a park behind her PG. The benches were freaking cold and my ass got numb. For some reason from the past sector 50 market place was a little special for us. So she finding it a little difficult for me to sit in the park asked me to just walk to market place of sector 50. We walked through each and every lane of that area and finally settled our asses on a little concrete bench. We started talking stuff and I was trying to ignore the fact of confessing my love to her. I did everything to just get away with it. I even pampered a dog that was crossing by. She held me tight. She is scared of dogs, like too scared. But then I rushed the dog away as she started to panic a little. That would have been the first time for me to say that to anyone in my entire life. But she knew it that I loved her. She kept me engaged in talks and that was the time when I was saturated with the thought of just telling that to her. “I love you”, I said. There was silence. She had that little smile on her face. Gosh! I love that smile. We got up from there and walked out of the market place. And there I saw a footbridge. We knew that PDA was a little difficult for the society to digest. But we were sure enough. A part of footbridge was covered by those big banners from both the side. That was a perfect place for us. We got up there. Walking hesitantly.  

The beginning

“Train 12429 Bangalore-Hazrat Nizammudin Rajdhaani Express is standing on Platform number 4” there I was walking through the station with myself covered under several layers of sweaters at 6 in the morning of Jan 26^th. It was chilling in New Delhi and she left her PG at 6 in the morning just to see me. I still remember it was dark and but she was determined to be there at the indraprastha metro station. She reached the Indraprastha Metro Station even before I reached Hazrat Nizamuddin. I was excited, nervous and anxious to meet her. She was the girl I loved. I shared an autorickshaw and I reached Indraprastha Metro Station. I texted her, “Aa gaya” and that still gives me chills. She walked by near the entry gate and I saw her and she saw me. I didn’t know how to react. I asked her, “Do you have an extra card or shall I take the token?” “Token”, she said. I took a token to Noida sector 16 Metro Station. I entered my way through the security check conquering the gates with the token in my hand. And there she was right in front of me in a Black Jacket. She looked gorgeous. Her eyes mesmerized me. “I love her” my heart said but my lips didn’t. We hugged formally, exactly the way it wasn’t planned. We took the Metro towards Noida City Centre and we managed to get the seats. She brought a bottle of ‘Alex’, the cough syrup as she knew that the cruising cold of Delhi gave me a bad throat. “She’s the girl”, my heart said. And at that moment I never knew that she would be the love of my life.
