Sweet Surprise

20th February 2013 :

Rock 'N' Roll Train by AC/DC playing
My eyes still closed but I started humming with Brian Johnson. A bright golden light shimmered across my face, widening up my eyes. I jumped up from my bed and freshened up. I made a cup of coffee for myself and put on the music. Long Long Way From Home by Foreigner. I sat on the couch sipping my coffee and reading the newspaper. I happen to read through the Zodiac section and the daily horoscope said something like this - "LEO : The day brings you a lot of surprises."

I chuckled as I got up. I was like yeah, surprises, right. I had been living a monotonous life for the past six months. It was all so predictable that a penny on the road would surprise me. I met the same set of people everyday, watched the same shows, listened to the same music. I knew who would text me at what time. It was fucking horrible. I went back to my room and started working out. This time i played Eye of The Tiger by Survivor. Yes, the soundtrack from Rocky movie series ! Well, I am no Sylvester Stallone, but keeping fit doesn't hurt, does it ? Ever-since I started working out, I feel rejuvenated. I am in a cheerful mood all day. I feel stronger, more confident.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I've started helping out my father in his business. Well, today out of no-where, he came up to me and handed me a pay-check. It wasn't much, but was enough to help me last a couple of weeks.

Take a Look Around by Limp Bizkit playing
I stood near the counter of Havmor, Sayajigunj with my headphones on, waiting for my take-away order to arrive. I ordered ice-creams for my folks as a treat for my first pay-check. I collected my order and started walking towards the parking lot. That's when I saw her. Our eyes met for a brief moment as we crossed each other. She smiled as she put away a lock of her hair behind her right ear as she broke the eye contact.

I froze, my feet literally grounded. I slowly turned around to check her out. I saw her turning around as well with a smile on her face. We saw each other. My jaw dropped, eyes popped out, heart started pumping as fast as a piston on full throttle. She smiled as she started walking towards me. I was still shocked. Stunned by her breath-taking beauty. A beautiful face, dreamy eyes, sharp nose, dimpled cheeks, pointed chin, a bit taller than the last time I saw her. Or was it her high heels ? Her hair straightened, falling on either side of her shoulders. She came close and chuckled as she closed my wide open mouth. We hugged. Oh My God ! It felt like a 10000 Watts of electricity zzaapped through my body.

"Chintan Pandit". She said in her soft voice as we broke our embrace.
"Hey ! You got even hotter."
"Well, that's how you greet some-one you meet after a long time ?"
"Nah. Usually I slit their throats and bury them in my backyard." I said in a serious tone.
She was shocked, stunned out of her brains. Smile wiped right off her face.
"Sorry, I crack jokes when I am nervous." I apologized.
"Chandler Bing ? Seriously ?"
We both burst into laughter at the same time.
"Oh ! I've missed you so much." She said as she squeezed me.
"How did I get so lucky ?" I smirked.
"Well, you are the only guy to have ever dumped me." She said making a sad face.
"Oh ! I regret it now, alright"
"I bet, you do. But you know what ? Here's my number. Call me some time." She said as she held my hand and wrote her number on my palm.
"It was great seeing you, Chintan." She continued as she pecked my cheek.
"Pleasure was all mine. Take care." I said as we parted.

I continued walking towards the parking lot. I caressed the cheek and screamed out loud in my head.
"ANAMIKA GOT HOT"
