My anger flared. "Because of you, I can't find my phone. My bouquet fell, and now I'll be late for my best friend's party because of you."
"Please forgive me. Let me have your number, I'll call and check."
Just saying sorry doesn't fix everything. Is this some new technique for asking for numbers? Is her brother secretly stalking me? I feel like I'm seeing her face for the first time!
Eat some Karela (bitter ground) dam blind girl. Why her voice was so calm? it could instantly lull me into a nap. It sounded sweeter than the cooing of the cuckoos in my village and even sweeter than my favorite dessert, Ras-malai. It was a strange feeling indeed.
At first, I stared at her for about 3-4 seconds. She looked incredibly beautiful, probably from a wealthy family. Even on this lousy road, I could smell a fragrance, maybe just from her perfume. In simple world.
My CID-like brain tried to figure everything out just by looking at her, but it seems like she's really rich. Is she just pretending to be wealthy? Did she come here to kidnap me? I don't know, but I needed my phone, so I took the Lord's name and gave her my number!
"989071XXX."
She listened to all the numbers once and then dialed without asking me. My phone was ringing, but there was no sound. With so many cars and auto-rickshaws on the road, All these vehicle noises are like a headache symphony, and amidst all this chaos, where on earth will my Korean song ringtone 'Blackpink in your area' even dare to make a sound? It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but with extra headaches and a side of car horns!
Her eyes were like a hawks, immediately identifying where the sound could come from. She calculated if she bumped into me like that, where my phone could have landed. When she found it trapped under a bike's tire with a cracked screen, I suppressed my anger, realizing if she wasn't such a beautiful woman, I would have already given her a slap and a few curses. I had never shown such gratitude before. This thought is stressing me out more than a cat trying to understand quantum physics!
"Come with me." she said, grabbing my hand.
Her hands were so cold that my soul went to Kashmir and came back to Mumbai."
Her car was a black Bugatti La Voiture Noire and my jaw dropped at the sight. These days, even thieves are buying fancy, expensive cars! I think this cheap stuff from China. Is it safe to get into that car? Is this girl going to steal my kidney? She must have bought the car from selling kidney!
Because she's a girl, it didn't seem that unsafe. So I took Ram's (God) name again and got in. Who knows where she's taking me? Anyway, I can handle myself. There's even black pepper spray in my bag. But she doesn't look like a thief at all! These days, thieves are so beautiful!
I got into her car, and she took me to a nearby mall. At the phone shop in the mall, she said to me, "I'll buy the phone that you point at."
How big of a liar she is! She should tell these stories to someone else. Who does that? Is she crazy? Is this how she runs her business? Just giving her phone to anyone without asking the value of my phone?!
My 15K Android phone held a special place in my heart, but who doesn't love an iPhone? Sure, I was being a bit greedy, but what she did was also wrong.
The shop looked nice! It's quite a fancy place where a phone worth 1,000 can easily be sold for 100,000. Who wears such fancy suits anyway?
I gestured towards the iPhone, and she transferred all my data from my phone and handed me the iPhone. Then, she took me to a gift shop, holding her hands felt like being compelled to buy a coat; I felt like I'd turn into Olaf (a snowman). where she bought the most delicate bouquet worth 7 lakhs and said, "Please accept my small gift."
What is she doing? The bouquet was worth 250, and if she'd offered me 500, I would have forgotten everything. What does she want? Is this some big plan? Is she trying to sell me? I don't even know how to dance! I haven't even had my first kiss yet. So, I do not know how to kiss, I can just swat flies at a brothel! I don't think anything is going to happen with me. She's just wasting her time!
For the first time, But I felt like Why am I not a charming Man? My heart yelled out, why not propose with the ring from my home's keychain? she was so kind. My angry bird face turned into a beautiful smile.
Why does all this feel so dreamy? Someone wakes me up from this dream; her kindness has messed with my mind. I'm going crazy! Someone slap me ten times because what does it mean that I'm starting to like this girl? I used to like boys, but for her, I'm ready to go to any extent. My daydreams are driving me nuts! My problem is that I'm ready to marry a stranger now. Is she the prince I always imagined? I feel like Cinderella. Shut up! shut up my mind. how much more will I think about this?
"Thank you," I said with a smile.
Besides "Thank you," I couldn't think of anything else to say. This has never happened to me before. If this is a dream, it should never break. But why was I cast as the poor one? In this dream, I should have been a successful, rich, strong, independent woman too.
"Thank you for forgiving me. You're getting late for your friend's party. Let me drop you."
I nodded.
