A PERFECT STRANGER

CHAPTER 3

‘Hey! Watch it. Why are you in such a hurry?’ questioned Varsha.
‘Oh, what was it? Maybe something on the line of, I’m freaking late’ exclaimed Anaya.
‘And where are you going by the way?’
‘To meet a friend’
‘Oh really, is it just friends??!!’
‘Yup, see you.'

Anaya left even before Varsha could have asked more questions.

The spark was way too strong to wait for another day, so they decided onto the very next day, the way ahead was long, but sometimes distance doesn’t really matters

She didn’t had any clue where would they go or how things would turn out. There was a  sense of fear but the excitement overcame every other emotion that she had.

He travelled half way just to pick her, and that was a pretty long way. He was dressed in a casual T-Shirt and looked descent, not a boring kind of a way but an assuring kind of way, and the most  alluring feature were his eyes she couldn’t decipher them but she was almost enchanted to them, they were actually shining bright and that smile which was way too cute.

‘Let’s go’ said Ansh
‘Yes’ responded Anaya barely containing her excitement

He took her to a lake. It was a bright day, a little too bright for her liking; the sun was exhausting and tormenting. She had never been a summer girl, but maybe because of him she didn’t necessarily hated the sun.

That day something had changed, it was unusual. They both were more comfortable, open and were talking and laughing like no care in the world. But something caught her attention and she asked him ‘what happened?’
‘Nothing’ he said

And they continue talking and after a moment he just stood up just in front of her.

Oh boy! What the hell was that? You can’t stood up in the middle of the conversation and continue talking while the girl is sitting next to you. How stupid was it?

She asked one more time with little anger and a hint of disappointment in her eyes ‘what happened?’

He sighed ‘It is already very hot and the sun was directly above your head, you were getting disturbed so i was just covering it so you don’t have a headache’
Ummm…..what? Really? He remembered the headache. Yeah! She just told him yesterday, but whatever! Adorable guy.

After that they just took a short walk and ate a lot Mc Donald’s while the conversation was totally flowing, but the time flowed too and they didn’t even knew how half-a-day had passed….it was time to bid farewell. They were smiling and, yup

Everything was going well, like really well and the thought had just crossed her mind, when they were caught in the bus, without tickets, even after Ansh, insisted on buying them, if there was a word to describe it than it was embarrassing, the cherry on the top was, she being the innocent cute girl was slacked out for fine, whereas he was stuck with it, but even then the small flaw was the thing that made it more perfect and just like that they parted their only for them to meet again.

‘You look tired? What were you the whole day?’ inquired Varsha.
‘ Just here and there, Let’s have dinner’ replied Anaya. She was making every possible effort to escape from Varsha’s question.
