It’s beautiful (Part II)

Cafe Coffee Day

Well, in the morning she got up early and finally after a lot of thought-process decided to put on a light blue jeans, black pullover accompanied with a half sleeves green color jacket. She put on her usual kajal and lip-gloss for the sake of make-up keeping in mind that it shouldn’t look over the top. Mind you, never, I say never it should appear as if she had taken efforts to look good. She brushed her hair, let them loose, wore her favorite black heels and took her clutch. She called up Pratham to tell him that she is leaving for Rajiv Chowk metro station. When she called, he just woke up and realized that okay, this is real. They were actually going to meet. Medhavi wasn’t kidding. He rushed to get ready. By the time he got ready, she reached the destination and kept on waiting for complete 46 minutes. She had faith that he will be coming. She was a bit furious, a bit nervous and a bit excited all because of Pratham. For the first time, she was actually very eager. Reason is yet unknown. She had no idea how Pratham was feeling. Was he feeling the same? Was he excited to have some intense conversation with her?

All this time Pratham was actually expecting Medhavi to be really angry at him. He thought that she might go back as well but no, she had some faith left. She was hoping him to come. Then he came standing beside CCD at the metro station searching for her everywhere. She saw him from far and saw him looking for her here and there ready to hear the scolding for being so late. He kept calling her and she didn’t pick up because she was standing right there smiling at him. She wasn’t angry for waiting for someone whom she barely knew but was happy to see the one finally whom she wanted to know completely. He saw her, smiled and came forward. He was sorry and made the lamest of excuse that the metro was stuck in between else he was on time and she believed it too. Well this is what people say about the phase when even the wrong seems right.

Leaving everything aside, they took exit from the metro station and probably didn’t know where to go. I guess, the first thing they saw in CP was Café Coffee Day: A lot can happen over a coffee. Well said! They decided to go there. Pratham was either a gentleman or he basically had PhD in impressing a girl. The way he opened the door for her, pulled a chair so that she can sit and asked her to order something of her choice made her feel really special. He used to say, this is what every guy does and she always said, “Nobody ever did this for me.” Though for a moment she was very furious because he didn’t split the bill and paid it all himself. He refused to take money from her. She had that abiding principle that nobody will ever pay for her unless it’s family or her husband. Pratham was very adamant. Before they could just leave CCD suddenly between the sipping of coffee and light conversations came up a song ‘MEHERBANI’. They looked at each other and sat down instantly to listen to it first and then leave.
