I was exhausted from a very long day and I wanted some refreshment.My legs were paining from those tedious ups and downs in the building in my newly bought pumps. The scorching heat burnt against my fair skin and back of neck was covered with heat and sweat.
My black hair were sticking to my face and I was at the highest level of feeling irritated!!!! I quickly asked my boss for a break and ran down and across the street to my favorite coffee shop.The shop was crowded with people and noises of all kinds.I looked here and there for a place to sit but all in vain.
At last I found a chair empty against a table with only one man sitting there his back facing me and fortunately the table was at the corner of the room because I am not attention seeker and corners are perfect for me..
I walked up to him and said," Please can I sit here.There is no place available." He just nodded and I quickly settled myself in the seat opposite to him.I didn't realize at first but when I saw him I was but mesmerized. His dark black hair were in a proper cut and two or three strands of hair slightly touched his forehead. His built was impressive and strong.His looks could make any girl fall for her. But the only thing that seemed a bit wrong was those aviators which he donned inside the cafe.I mean there was sunlight in the room but not so strong that you need to protect your eyes. But anyway none of my business I thought.
As I scanned the room waiting for waiter to come, I noticed many people were staring in our direction with smiles. I thought I am not so beautiful that they have to stare at me but then I realized it was not me but the person sitting next to me who stole their hearts.
But he seemed to be lost in his own world, not caring a bit for the girls in the area. Through those aviators I could say that he was seeing something beyond his surroundings as if lost or thinking.
I said interrupting his stream of thoughts,"Guess who is stealing half of the girl's attention here." He just looked at my direction but never asked or said anything. I replied," YOU!!"He chuckled and returned back to where he was.
Next fifteen minutes were spent in silence and I could not stop the urge of talking. So I said," Here is my introduction. My name is Meera and what is yours?"He looked at me with a question mark and then quickly resumed himself and wrote something in a piece of paper and passed on to me. The paper possessed a neat writing displaying his name ZAYN. I wondered what is wrong with the saying part??...maybe depressed types because for another half an hour I was the one who talked the most over coffee and he just nodded like YES or NO.
I felt it was rude but his looks kept my eyes fixed on him. But never once he looked at my way and never interrupted my enjoyable stare at him. But suddenly from nowhere I heard a women's voice calling for him,"Zayn??...The work has been done, come."He just nodded at her direction and quickly resumed his position and took a tissue paper and started scribbling something and folded it and passed in my direction.
I kept down my half eaten cookie and as I began to unfold and read it.....suddenly he stood up and with the woman guiding him like right.left.straight.table here.chair there, he walked out of the cafe.I didn't understand why was she saying this and that too under her breath so that only he can hear it.
I opened the paper and it read in a neat handwriting....YOU SEEM VERY BEAUTIFUL THROUGH YOUR WORDS. I WISH I HAD THE SIGHT TO EXPERIENCE YOUR BEAUTY AND I WISH I HAD THE VOICE TO SAY IT."......ZAYN
I was blank for second and realized that all the signs showed his nodding.his writing but I was too blind to see it....but for the time I thought I had fallen for someone who judged me by my thoughts and he said they were beautiful and it was the best compliment I had ever received and it seemed that I was falling for the blind and dumb love.....Is it love at first sight??
