Enamour

Second Mulakat

After 3 months in the month of January which was declared the coldest month in Delhi, nature decided to let the couple meet again. On that day Fog was so dense that it was difficult even to look at 2 feet of distance. Arnav visited the same cafe to have his regular coffee because in the morning his coffee was a little cold so he didn't enjoy it. After taking his coffee he was about to turn and suddenly he got a glimpse of Khushi who was seated in a corner & observing the weather through a glass wall. Instantly his face lit up. Today he is having time so he is going to chat with her & will show her his better side. He himself was not aware of why he wanted to do so. He was not that kind of person. He did not even believe in GOD. When he was never grateful to God & why did he want to show goodness to that girl? Maybe whatever she spoke took his attention. When he reached near her & about to greet her, he noticed that she was on a call. So he sat on a chair nearby & decided to wait. Aare, you know what happened on Saturday morning. I met a classical pair of P & B.

Arnav's full attention was on a one-sided conversation. He was curious.

......

I went to Chandigarh. As usual, I decided to go early in the morning so I caught the bus at five in the morning. When I was at the ticket booth there they were. She was in front of me. When her turn came, the ticket collector spoke - madam subah subah mere pass chutte nahi hai. Jaiye 500 ka not lekar aayiye. (i don't have a change of 2000 in early in the morning. Bring a note of 500 instead of 2000.) Then came my favorite moment. The boy was standing on the side. She looked at him & spoke with a flattery voice- Baby do you have 500 notes? That person doesn't have change. Meanwhile, the Ticket collector asked me to come forward. I smiled & told him -Bhaiya, I have an exact change of money. The ticket collector was one of us. 

He answered - ''Shukr hai madam aap jaise samjhdaar log bhi aate hain. Subah subah log 2000 ke note dikhkar pareshan kar dete hain. Itni samjhdari to honi chaniya na ki ham bhi subah subah change kaha se laaayenge. Hame pure din ke liye thoda sa change milta hai'' (Thank God people like you still exist, Otherwise people irritate in early in the morning by showing 2000 notes. They should have common sense from where we will bring so much change. They assign us a little change of money only.) 

''Bechara baby fas gaya' ( baby was stuck)'- His girlfriend was getting insulted & he was not able to do anything. As usual, he buttered - Darling don't worry let me handle I have 500 hundred notes.

 .....

After that I went to a tea stall to have a cup of tea & classical couple P & B was at a nearby shop. She wants to have some eatable. Again same scenario, again 2000 note & again baby rescued her. So she took her bus without spending a rupee & the baby was trailing behind her. After finishing her sentence Khushi burst into laughter. Suddenly she realized that she was in a cafe so she stopped herself. After 2 minutes she disconnected & had a sip of coffee. She had a smile on her face. Friday morning's scene was still running in her mind. 

Arnav was keenly observing her. Today she was wearing boot-cut black jeans & a long Persian blue color overcoat. A black printed scarf was peeking from the collars. She was holding her phone in her left hand & taking sips of coffee in between with her right hand. Nails were trimmed but there was no nail paint. There was not any trace of makeup on her face. Only lip gloss was applied to lips. On the pretext of jewelry, she was wearing only diamond ear studs. She was not an alluring beauty but she has a great physique. He noticed it last time. By reading her face & posture he concluded that she will not tolerate any nonsense. In the fashion world & in metropolitan cities girls give lots of importance to their looks & physique. They become insecure if they lack something. If someone is more beautiful than them then they feel insecure & jealous. Girls usually start bitching about their opponent. So he liked that casual & confident girl & he enjoyed her gossip. After a long time, he really enjoyed the one-sided conversation. Now he wanted to know it fully.
