About the story: Mansi, a middle-class girl with an unquenchable passion for dance, crosses paths with Terence, a renowned choreographer whose world is far beyond anything she's ever known. The moment she meets him, her heart catches fire, and she f...
Finally, June 16th is here, the day I will get to see him again. I'm on the train with my bestie, Sakshi; she's sleeping deeply, and on the other hand, I'm not getting any sleep. I'm lost in my thoughts about how my first meeting would be with him. I'm just lost and smiling uncontrollably.
He calls and shares his address with me. He said, 'You both directly come to my address, and you can stay as long as you want.' I was hesitating taking this offer; however, I said, 'Let's meet and decide.'
We got off the train and booked a cab to his place. He lives in a very beautiful independent house that he owns. It's a duplex house, 5BHK I believe. We were at his doorstep, rang the doorbell, and his best friend Mateo answered the door. Saw a home so beautiful. He shares his home with his best friend, Mateo, another good-looking, charming man. "Beautiful people's best friends are also beautiful" I said smilingly to Sakshi.
[Mateo, Terence's best friend, stands tall at 5'11" with a sharp intellect. He wears glasses, giving him a nerdy vibe despite being attractive. He is deeply involved in both the dance world and video editing. He and Terence have been close friends for seven years, bonded by their shared interests and mutual respect. Mateo never lies and he never hides anything from Terence, no matter how uncomfortable and unpleasant is the topic. They share everything, supporting each other through thick and thin. They have been sharing the same home for the past 3 years.]

We entered; my eyes were searching for Terence, and there he was, coming downstairs. That moment, I felt, God must have spent ages making him. He did complete justice in making him—a man so charming, carrying himself with ease and grace, with an infectious smile. He has a witty and playful sense of humor, is intelligent and well-spoken, with confident body language, standing tall at 6' and making eye contact with his beautiful light golden brown eyes.

And here I am, a little messy, lacking confidence, standing at 5'5" with long, shiny, semi-curly hair, fair complexion, with little fashion sense, struggling carrying myself but undeniably cute and fit. Needing so much work to be done on myself.

He's perfection, and I'm a work in progress.
It was a lovely meeting. We met, we ate, we told our funny dancing stories to Mateo and Sakshi, had lunch together, and we all clicked. I never thought our meeting would go that smoothly. Terence insisted on us staying at his place, saying, 'Why spend money when we already have a place to stay?' He told us not to worry, assuring us that we're safe. After thinking too much, we decided to stay here for a few days until we find a permanent residence. He gave me his room, packed up all the essentials, and moved into Mateo's room with the assurance that everything we need is already there.
What a room man! He lives a luxurious life, very spacious, just like we see in movies. I was living in that room, whereas Sakshi moved to a room downstairs because she didn't want to climb stairs 20 times a day. Lol!

In the depths of my mind, I find myself analyzing every detail, realizing how far I stand from his impeccable standard. I see how different he is, how high his standards are. I know I can't measure up. With a heavy heart, I chose to keep my feelings to myself, wanting to keep our friendship safe.
