My encounter with life #Wattys2016 #JustWriteIt

Chapter 7

I opened the refrigerator, only to be reminded of the skills I lack in grocery shopping. There's no juice whatsoever; all I see is a can of beer. Um don't we consider barley as a fruit? Okay no we don't. The doorbell rang and it was the Pizza delivery guy. Phew! Thankfully I'd ordered a coke too.

"Hey is it too cold for you in here?" I said and placed the pizza & coke on the cute little table in my balcony.

"It is fine" he smiled.

I found him really silent this time. It's not like he talks a lot in general. But still.

"Miss Bose Thank you" he finally said something.

"Um thanks for what?"

"For today, like I really had a nice evening Thank you."

"You're being too generous Mr. Jha"

"You don't realize"

I said nothing.

"You speak awesomeness Miss Bose. And how could we not get a chance to speak before? Well that's completely my loss."

"In today's world it's almost impossible to find a person with whom we can talk about things that are beyond our purview. And I could've never come across such a gentle yet realistic definition of love, had I not borrowed that book from you Miss Bose."

"It's a pleasure to have you as a friend." He stood and hugged me. I couldn't say a word. The man I've been eyeing upon is right in front of me, praising me and also hugging me. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. What am I heading to? Is it some blessing I'd received long back that has just got redeemed?

"I'll be leaving now" he said.

"Thanks for coming Mr. Jha" I held the door open for him and he made his exit.

The door bell rang again. I opened the door and it was Aditya again.

"Miss Bose Are you free this weekend?" he queried.

"Ah-ha yes absolutely"

"Bingo! So how about book shopping?" he grinned.

"Perfect" I smiled.

"Okay then I'll pick you, Saturday evening." He said and left.

Gosh if I'm not wrong this will actually be a date. Well sounds like a date to me at least. Just one more day and I'll have the best Saturday of my life.
