Our First Meeting

I suddenly realized you were so quiet since long time. I tried to play the “Hero”. I wanted to impress our friend by showing I can be really funny. You gave me that opportunity. I silently thanked you in my mind and started trying to have a conversation with you. She informed you were actually a silent kind of girl. In mind I told to myself “I know”. I told her “I am sure she is actually very talkative all the time. Aren’t you?”

You just smiled and looked into my eyes. Your smile was contagious. Soon you were open to me and we three were talking like childhood friends. She was impressed. I was on a high. Why not? In less than 2 hours I had made friendship with the two most beautiful girls in the compartment. It may not seem a big achievement until I add that I myself was an introvert and we had started on wrong foot.

Night came with an opportunity for us to sit closer. The older people around us had started preparations for a nice sleep. The couple across the compartment were staring at us and discussing something. I am sure the fat lady didn’t like us and the poor husband had no option but to agree. I took this opportunity to show how I was. I made fun of them and you both joined in. Soon we were all laughing our asses off.

Given the chance I should have sat near her. But I did not. Something in you made me desire you more. Was I a fool? Clearly she was looking better than you. Then why in the hell was I getting more attracted to you. All my tricks for being funny were for her, then how come I ended up beside you. I was not thinking. I was just going with the flow.

After a while she slept. Then I made the biggest mistake of my life. A mistake which ended up in the most beautiful days of my life and which also caused me the most pains ever. I proposed you. And you were also foolish enough to accept it. I was just a guy you met on train. Damn! You knew nothing about me. At least you should have acted with sense. You could have just denied. Instead you actually agreed to my first kiss.

My first ever kiss. I will never forget it. I clearly remember my lips tasted of you even the next day. You were a passionate lover…kind of person I desired. Wish you ever believed me when I told you that. Or just didn’t believe the first time I told you….life and knowledge of love would have been so different for me.
