It's their love story

Chapter 4 - Second meet

It was relaxing and soothing Saturday mid-morning. Sun was shining brightly in the light blue sky. The clouds appeared whitish since the sun shined through it. The clouds got scattered and moved swiftly due to the pleasant breeze. John was waiting in front of Vivesh's house to pick him. John was in a hurry as he was hungry and that's why he didn't go inside Vivesh's home.

John and Vivesh are childhood friends and both of them are profound gamers. Right from their childhood till date they frequently go and play arcade games hours together in City Mall. Vivesh hurriedly came out of his home and waved a "Hi" to John.

John said, " Hurry up buddy it's ten minutes past 11. We have to wind up our brunch soon and then only we can have fun.
Ain't you ready to beat my high score in Contra? But I'll only win all the time you're going to lose as usual dude."

"Don't boast too much man. I'm gonna smash your records today. Wait and watch." replied Vivesh.

"Let's see" John mockingly said and patted at Vivesh's shoulder.

Vivesh got into John's bike and they headed to the City Mall. They reached the City Mall within an hour and when they entered the mall John asked to Vivesh, "I'm hungry to death. Can we go and have our brunch first before gaming?" Vivesh nodded his head in approval.

John suggested Dominoes but Vivesh wished to go to McDonald's. John tried to convince Vivesh that Dominoes is on the same floor where the arcade gaming lounge is located and insisted that it would be nice to bite a slice of sizzling hot pizza viewing the arcade gaming lounge since the lounge is right opposite to the Dominoes. Half-heartedly Vivesh agreed and they progressed to Dominoes.

The ambiance in the Dominoes was so eye-catching and compelling. The red tables and matching red chairs were very vibrant. The yellow walls with the sizzling pizza portrait and a kid taking a bite of pizza in the portrait made Vivesh and John drool. With no further ado, they both went and ordered their pizzas and soda. Then they chose a table from where they can view the gaming lounge.

Vivesh's heart skipped a bit. He felt something bothering him. The ambiance of the Dominoes reminded him of his cute angel "Tara". He yearned to take her on a date to Dominoes as the red color all around spread love in the air. He saw a cute couple in opposite table and his longing intensified. He went into daydreaming. He picturized himself and Tara in that table. He felt as though he was on cloud nine. He slowly took the hands of Tara and held it for some time. Then he gave a quick kiss in her hands. He started to caress her cheeks.

Vivesh felt a shaking in his shoulder. Followed by it he felt a pain in his cheeks. He got a hard slap in his cheeks. Clueless Vivesh blinked for a minute and regained his senses. John slapped him and was shaking his shoulder hard. Vivesh realized that he held John's hand, kissed it and was caressing his cheek thinking him as Tara.

John was yelling at him, " Hey Idiot. What you did was disgusting. What happened to you?"

Vivesh scratched his head and simpered. He avoided seeing John's eyes and dodged. He stood up and went straight to the counter to collect their pizzas.

John saw Vivesh with confusion. "This Vivu is acting weird today. Something is fishy. I need to find what's wrong with him." he spoke to himself.

After all this fuss Vivesh and John settled down and started munching their cheesy pepperoni pizza. At that spur of the moment, Vivesh's instinct said Tara was somewhere nearby. He saw around him. His eyes gazed outside. He started searching like a crazy and hungry kid searching for its mom.

Vivesh's eyes got widened. His eyes glittered and got delighted like a child who got his favorite chocolate ice cream in his hands and ready to enjoy it. He saw her. His heart jumped and said
