Our First Meet

The First Date

"The first time is always a disaster and starts with a mess but ends perfectly."

On Saturday morning, the alarm rings!!! As usual, I was sleeping till 10 a.m. and saw my memo. I just remembered that Nikita invited me to the Palace Cafe to spend the weekend together. And I was like, "Man!!! Not again." Today, someone gave me an invitation. I was just sleeping like Snorlax in my home. I got up and brushed my teeth. I took a shower in a rush and put my hands in the almirah. Whatever came into my hand, I grabbed it out, got ready, and then rushed toward the cafe.

Meanwhile, here, Nikita was also late as usual. She also woke at 9:30 a.m. and saw her memo. She also remembered Suraj and got ready for dress-up. It was her first time inviting a boy for a date.

"Ahh!!! What would be the best choice to wear? It's my first date. I can't mess up like my other weekdays. It is very confusing for me. Oh, gawd!!! Why do people have to get ready for dates?"It took her nearly an hour to decide what to wear.

"Crap!!! I am going to be late. Relax; it's just a meet-up. Thankfully, I woke up on time; otherwise, I could have screwed up. Come to think of it, why would she invite me to the cafe to spend the rest of the day just with me?"This guy is completely clueless about what she exactly wants and what she has planned for today.

Meanwhile, I was overthinking and running to catch the bus. Here, Nikita was ready and just about to leave. "Okay, everything is done. Now it's time to leave. Wait a second!!! I must be forgetting something important. But what don't I know? Anyway, just leave it, and let's arrive at the cafe. I'm already late; he must be waiting for me. I should be more careful, as I invited him." Hence, she leaves for the cafe and locks the door of her apartment.

Meanwhile, I was here at the metro station. "Phew!!! I am on time now. I should be there in a few minutes because the cafe is located near the metro station at a walking distance of 300 meters. So, according to my calculation, this is the fastest route for the trip." His calculative skills might save him from the consequences, but fate wanted something else. His luck pushes him into a situation where the metro stops. Having a waterfall in his eyes, he was thinking. "No no no no!!!! This should not be happening today. Fate doesn't want me to be settled with a loving and caring wife and children. Today is not my day."

Here, Nikita is halfway through remembering something. "Oh no!!! I forgot to put on make-up. I should have done that earlier." Now that she had arrived at the station, she left the train and went to the washroom to put on some makeup. "It shouldn't take that much time. Just a light make-up and lipstick are enough for now." After finishing up, she checked the time and left from the station to arrive at the cafe.

Here, Suraj also arrives at the station. "Crap!!! I'm late; I should have arrived earlier. She surely must've left until now. Should I call her? No!!! She might get furious if I call and apologize for being late. I should also arrive there instead of apologizing." I also left the station and arrived at the cafe.

"Finally, I'm on time. But, where is she?" I was trying to find her in the cafe. But I didn't know where she was. So I waited for her. After waiting for an hour, I checked my phone, and I saw 7 missed calls and 21 text messages about me being late. She mentioned that she was inside the cafe, and I was waiting outside at the entrance. I cursed myself for being stubborn. I get back to my senses and get inside the cafe. After entering the cafe, I saw that I was welcomed, and the inside view of the cafe was stunning. They greeted me by welcoming me, and one of them pointed his finger towards Nikita. He whispered in my ears. "That beautiful woman standing next to table no. 4 is booked by her, and she told me to inform you not to worry about being late." After whispering, another person said, "Sir, please come with me."
