Golu - I
Of all the things in the entire universe, I was afraid of only one: falling for someone again. With every ounce of my soul loathing love and all those lovey dovey couples, I just wanted to breathe and be happy forever.
Out of nowhere a random follow request popped up on my Instagram. Couple of memes and 'Hellos' shared. He was different. Not like those guys who made it a point to compliment girls again and again without even knowing them. Not even like those guys who asked for your phone number because they didn't use Instagram much.
He irked my interest. But it died down within one day as it was hectic at work. Days passed by, nominal conversation with him felt like nothing. It was very normal. I didn't like him anymore. I wasn't interested. I wasn't even looking for a friend. And here I am writing about him...
A positive aura surrounded him. Whenever he would chat, he sounded so optimistic. I didn't know when did it start but he had irked some interest in me. How on mother Earth, a guy like him did exist? Firstly, not interested in you. Secondly, always sent some cute cat/dog/kids memes. Lastly, seemed so calm.
Months passed by and one day his parents visited him. He asked for some good places to show them around. He precisely asked for some nice temples. Odd guy check! He seemed genuine, calm and serene.
And that day I smiled while texting him when he showed me some of his photography skills and said I could use those pictures as background to write my quotes. So thoughtful!
I called him photographer for that day. Because later he proved me wrong.
He asked me to call him whenever I was free. I asked him to let me know his availability. He had replied, "Whole day for you."
