Damsel in Distress -an Indian Story

Heart vs Brain

Karthik' s pov

I pinched myself. No it's not a dream. It's real. She is real. She is in front of my eyes.

I must say she is one of the beautiful girls I have ever seen in my life. She is so simple but very cute.

Wow, Karthik Malhotra had finally become a pervert. My inner soul rebuked. That's when I realized I was gawking at her.

What to do? It's not my fault. She is sinfully beautiful that no one can avert their gaze from her.

Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder.
I turn around and found Chotti standing with her hands crossed.

" Mr. Malhotra, gawking at girls is an offence. You came here to visit me, instead of doing that, you are gawking at girls. Wait, I will just call Mom and inform about her son's newfound hobby" . She said and took her phone .

I snatched it from her and glared.
" Look, first of all iam not gawking at girls, and secondly I don't have to do anything for gaining a girl's attention.
Girls are dying for my attention " I said rising the color of my shirt.

" Have you seen your face in mirror?.
You should do that often, your pride will go away" she said and burst out to laughter.

After some banters I hugged her and bid bye and left to the hotel.My flight is at 6 pm . So I decided to sleep for some time. As soon as I closed my eyes her beautiful face appeared in front of me.

I couldn't sleep a bit. My mind was filled with millions of questions. I never felt like this before.
Do you feel something for her? My soul asked.

No, how can I have feelings for a person whom I don't know anything about.
No, it's not like, love or attraction it's just a curiosity. I tried to convince myself.

Iam not a person who believes in love at first sight. I believe in love.My parents had a love marriage. They are my role models. They love, respect and support each other in each and every phase of life.

I have grown up seeing their love. I too want to share that kind of bond with my life partner.

Unfortunately I haven't found someone with whom I can share a life time bond.

Of course, I have relationships in the past. But none of them were serious. They were just stupid infatuations which faded over time.

But now it's the time to find my ideal partner. I have promised my mom that I will get married within a year.
And I don't like breaking promises.

I tried to sleep again but I can't. That unknown girl have this much effect on me. I thought about that nightmares. Maybe she is going to encounter some danger and God wants me to save her.

You are not Superman to save unknown girls. My brain rebuked me.

If she is a stranger, then why does she appears on your dreams? My soul retorted.

My brain is telling me that all these are just coincidences and leave that, but my soul is urging me to see her oncemore.

The sound of wall clock break my thoughts. It's 4 pm. I have to leave for airport. I packed my bags and got ready. I deliberately drove through the college route.
What if I saw her oncemore?.

With these thoughts I drove my car. As I expected I saw her walking through the lane with a girl.They were chatting and smiling.
I felt so good to see her smile. That smile can take away all my tensions. I want to see it everyday.I quickly took my phone and snapped her picture.

OMG! What am I doing? I think I have lost my nuts .
You idiot, you don't know anything about her. What if she is married or have a boyfriend? My brain reminds me. That's when I realized I have been following her.
