The first time I saw him, he was standing across the room from me holding a bottle of beer and talking to my best friend. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. He was wearing black jeans, a white plain t-shirt!
We were both aware of the fact that we were checking each other out. I mean he was hot! If I hadn’t been leaving India the very next day; I would have been with him, talking and trying to get his number. But I can't do that now. I turned around to go out on the balcony for some fresh air.
I had been on the balcony for some time when I heard someone say, "Are you OK? You look really sad!” He said.
I knew who it was. It was the hot guy, Sneha my best friend had been talking to. I don’t know how I knew it but I did.
“You could say that.” I replied.
"What say we get out of here for sometime?"
I knew going out with him, getting to know him was the worst idea ever, seeing as I was leaving India the next day, but I still found myself nodding to his suggestion and following him out of the house!
We walked towards Marine Drive as it was just a walk away from the apartment building where the party was taking place! We sat on the promenade and looked out at the night sky and the sea in front of us. The sight in front of us was the most beautiful I had ever seen!
After a couple of minutes of silence we started talking. Nothing serious, just trivial things about us, our likes, dislikes, hobbies, our perspective on our national cricket team. Even though we hadn't told each other our names, we talked like two old friends that were meeting after a long time! It was the most I had talked to anyone in a long time. And it felt so good to talk to someone who didn't know what was happening in my life at that moment!
But like all dreams, it came to an end. After sitting there for nearly three hours doing nothing but talking, I told him I have to leave! He asks me why, I tell him I just have to.
"At least tell me your name so that I can find you tomorrow!", he pleads.
I shake my head no and say, "Let this night be the way it has been. A beautiful one. Let's not taint it with reality! Just let me go."
I start walking away from him but when he tries to follow me I stop and tell him, “Please don’t follow me or try to find me. Thanks for the most amazing night of my life.”
I kiss his cheeks and walk away from him not certain if I will ever meet this amazing guy again who gave me the most amazing night of my life.
