Gali Me Aaj Chand Nikla!!

Being her moon!!

The sun was shining bright high in the sky as if bestowing its shimmer to those who are in need of the illuminance.

The wind flow wasn't rapid but somehow it was giving an impression that maybe the wind will increase its momentum at a significant moment..

The sky was virtually clear but the specks of clouds with a pinkish tinge on them were adorning the immaculate sky which itself was representing eternity and transcendence..

Aroma of spices used in various dishes at a bhojnalaya was spreading in the locality and was making its way to the nostrils of the customers who were buying the authentic Gujarati thali for their lunch.

But at a very short distance from that eatery Ramdhari was cooking a scrumptious spread of aloo puri and masala paneer as it was a weekend and it always calls for a hearty lunch.

"Sameer Bhaiya humne khana laga diya h", instructed Ramdhari and went to the kitchen to make hot chapatis..

An elderly man sitting on the dining chair was adoring his grandson as he saw him devouring his favorite dishes. A contented smile was spreading in his lips and after completing his own food he asked him, " Sameer, would you like to come with me, I have to meet my friend and while I am at his house you can take a stroll in the market and buy something for yourself"...

Sameer pondered over his nanu's offer and thought what exactly he will do in the market but after looking at the old man's warmth filled eyes he assured him, " I will go nanu but let me change first ", his grandfather smiled at him not only because he had agreed to go with him as eventually he would have gone with him but because he felt like that something strange will happen in the market, strange as in.... still strange but somehow beautiful!!

While going upstairs to change Sameer was thinking why he couldn't refuse his nanu it's not that his nanu would have gotten hurt by his refusal or would have forced him to go with him maybe because for the respect and love he had for his nanu he couldn't make himself to decline his request, whatever the reason may be but some sort of uncertainty was still clinging to his mind as why exactly he consented to go.

He had planned to watch a movie with his best friends Munna and Pandit but he couldn't have able to do so as he didn't even know how much time it will take for his nanu to greet his friend so he called them after reaching his room and explained them about the change in the plan, though they asked to accompany him but he repudiates their offer and told them to watch that movie without him. Nevertheless they agreed but still assured him that they will catch up with him after his return from his impromptu shopping spree...

His hand automatically plucked a black shirt out and he baffled at his own choice as it was offbeat to wear that shirt in that weather and at the top of the all it was so absurd to wear it to the market place as in that shirt was a fancy one but soon his nanu called him and without considering a second option he sauntered downstairs after wearing the chosen shirt...

After mindlessly scanning almost every shop in a lane he was roaming on the street on his own, not paying attention to the surroundings and to the not so busy road. And of course his oblivious self got bumped into someone....

The sudden bump quivered him but thanks to his somewhat muscular body he stabilized himself and raked his long fingers in his hair and while doing it his eyes landed upon a girl who is sitting on the middle of the road wearing blush pink floral shirt and blue skirt, her open hair falling over her shoulders, the one rupee coin laying besides her.

The sudden realisation hit him that he has collided with a girl and she has indeed stumbled down because of the collision. Soon his gentleman nature overpowered and he gave her his right hand while his left hand was buried in the left pocket of his jeans.
