' Hey, do u need a chocolate ice cream or a vanilla one' I asked Eve, my friend as I was grabbing ice creams from the freezer and she was busy with snacks.
Ya we were in a supermarket grabbing food for us and we hardly eat our pg food.
I was a student of paramedical and was staying in Bangalore which was too far from my home.
So, coming back to the point, we finally finished grabbing our favourite things and was standing in the billing counter.
As I was concentrating on the billing process Eve was busy with staring and the guy in the counter. Finally we finished and came out.
'Did u see the guy?? He is still staring at us' she said in a very exciting tone.
As I gave a look at the guy he smiled.
I turned around and was like ' what? Did he smile at me?? But why?' as these questions ended up in my mind I managed to take another look at him.
A guy who was way more taller than me with beards and a face with hidden seriousness. Not a guy of my type though. Ya he was handsome but I din't like much. On the other hand Eve was mad at him don't know why.
Though I had no interest still I was a fun loving girl who was always ready for mischievous and flirty life. So as the guy was looking at me continuously I also started looking at him . And this I did for the next two hours. Ya I meant 120 mins. Then it was time for the supermarket to close and they all came out.
' Hi, what's your name?' he directly came and spoke to me.
' Hi, myself Mishti , what's Ur name?' I asked with a more confident voice.
' Myself Ibrahim' .
My name suggested my place from where I belong and his name suggested his religion.
For a pure Hindu Brahmin girl it was a next to impossible thing to even keep a normal relationship with a proper Muslim guy.
But though I was not thinking of relationship so these things din't came to my mind.
As we walked together I totally forgot about Eve who was walking back of me alone and disappointed as she was the most interested person out here.
As we walked, he asked ' What are the cut marks in your hand? Why did you hurt urself ? '.
I looked at him as he asked me this. 'How can a stranger have so much care for you in his eyes when your loved once don't have ? ' I thought this and walked with a silence in my lips. He understood and didn't ask anything about this.
' Are you single? ' he asked me.
' Nope I am not' I answered.
This made him quiet and we walked on our ways, totally opposite to each other.
I got a call from my bf and started speaking as I walked alone to my pg.
Ya I was in a relationship then. A 18 months relationship it was and totally complicated. I wanted to come out of this torturing relationship but couldn't as I might seem strong from outside but was too weak from inside
I din't know that whether I will meet Ibrahim again or that was my last meet.
I din't know tht whether it was correct for me to meet him or not. Was it something just like a one day talk which generally happens in big cities like Bangalore or it was something more?
