************************************
He was really late today. He didn't knew that the professor was planning to extend the lecture by half an hour. If he knew may be, may be what, he still couldn't have changed the situation. He speed walked from his college to the cafe. He didn't even thought about keeping his college bag at his room. He was already late as it is.
All the way to the cafe he was thinking if he is too late to see her. Whether she will be there or not. The cafe is just 15 mins from college but today it felt some hrs. He saw her first time at the cafe only. She was sitting on the corner most table staring at the traffic outside and drinking her coffee. Initially she looked troubled but with each sip of coffee her body seemed to relax and once or twicr she smiled to herself. She was in a proper office woman aatire, a pencil skirt, pumps, shirt and coat. It wasn't like she was most beautiful woman he has ever seen but there was something in her profile which attaracted his attention. And that attention made him sit at the cafe and observe her till she finished her coffee, shrugged her
Coat and picked her purse and left. From that day on wards he started coming to cafe daily at the same time. He would just sat at table far away from her but still in viewable range and watch her. In all these days he learned lot about her, he learned that she have three pair of suits and four pair of sandals.
He learned that she likes her coffee with cream but no sugar. He learned that when she is in deep thinking she likes to bite on her kissable lower lip. He learned that she likes to read some thick novels sometimes. He almost learned all the things a person could learn by observing a person for one month.
Many times he thought of following her but he liked the status of a far away admirer more than a stalker. So this small routine of his was going fine until today.
Today when he reached cafe she wasn't there. To say he was disappointed would be an understatement. He was heart broken.It seemed to him that since he missed her today he wont be ever able to see her again. Without thinking he entered the cafe and directly went to the table she daily sit on. He went to the chair she sits on daily and just stood there staring at it with sadness seeping from his every pore.
He doesn't know how long he stood staring like that but his concentration was broken by sound of bells jingling. He looked towards the cafe entrance and saw her enter in hurry like she was late for somewhere. As soon he saw her a huge smile broke on his face. After she saw him standing at her place, she was shocked initially but then she gave him a small smile. She started moving towards him but her eyes didn't left his. They both stood in front of each other. Nobody saying anything just looking at each other. Both has so much to say but don't know where to start from.
He broke the silence and exclaimed "I thought I missed you today." and instantly covered his mouth, embarrassed over what he just said. She smiled and raised her hand to remove his hands from his mouth and said " I got stuck in a meeting and I thought I missed you."
She was holding his hand and he was on cloud 9. He don't know why she is talking to him but he is not gonna complain.
She had noticed him observing her fron day one and slowly her coming to cafe and be object of his attention became highlight of her day. Initially she just liked the feeling of being centre of attention of a young boy but slowly it became more. She wanted to know him, talk to him and touch him. She was so worried that she won't be able to see him today that she has pledged that if she see's him today then she will surely talk to him. She just didn't thought what she will say to him and now she is out of words.
She cleared her throat and said" Shall we sit?"
He snapped from his daze and shook his head and sat down but still he was holding her hand and she wasn't trying to get away. He smiled at her and asked " Do you want something to drink?". She smiled and nodded. He called waiter and placed their order, and wished that this coffee is first in many of various upcoming meetings in their life while holding hands and smiling to each other with their hearts in their eyes.
