4. CRUSH at first sight

I woke up because of my alarm noise and sat on my bed. I stretched myself and during stretching I found a photo that was kept on a table beside my bed. "Oh!" I looked at the pic, and remembered my dream. He was the person in my dream, and I couldn't look at his face because that pic had his sideface which wasn't clear but the mole on his right side of neck was more prominent.

Then I understood, I registered him subconsciously in my mind. And the picture he was looking at in his phone, before he was startled, was mine which my mom sent him."

Satisfied with my explanation which untied the knots of the dream I went to freshen up.

"They are willing to see you. Swaroopa aunty(my stranger relative who became my match fixer) said" my father said to me.

"I need sometime, I have to sort out few things," I replied.

"Sort out whatever you want after meeting him," my mom entered the discussion.

"Maa! I'm only 22, why do you want me to leave this home so early, I have so many things to do in my life," I said angrily.

" You have been saying this since 1yr, I don't know what you want to sort out, and I don't know if that is really important. You never said me what was it, and I'm done asking about it. If you are thinking about your course they are ready to wait till you complete your course. I find this match perfect for you. Atleast meet him once and then decide." My angry mom replied in a single breath.

"You really frustrate me mom, you never leave me an other option!," "when does he want to meet me?" I questioned her.

"Tomorrow at 7:30pm," mom replied.

*******

I was busy all day. Thanks to my teammate who didn't turn up, making me do all the work alone.

It was almost time to leave. I left the remaining work for the other day. I was about to go home, then I remembered my meeting at 7:30pm. It seemed like an appointment rather than a meeting.

Everything was irritating me today. Even the traffic. I stopped at a signal literally for 21min and the horns from a bike which was back of mine irritated me more even. "Wow! That's teasing in traffic!" I gave him an angry look and raised my head "what" and then talked with my hands having a sarcastic smile , "Can't you see the signal, I pointed at the signal and said are you color blind?' though I didn't know how to enact for Color.

Then he stopped horning and I smiled evilly over my victory.

I finally reached my destined place, but I couldn't find any Enfield as was in my dream.
"Of course ! It was a dream idiot!", I said to myself.

A red Audi caught my eye. It was shining in the moon light.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I was also shining, but with sweat. I even had a smoked complexion due to the smoke and dust settled on my face. I was wearing a white kurti which had gained a stain today morning while eating. So I tied a knot with the scarf around my neck loosely so that I would cover the stain.

I went in. I blew the bubble gum but as soon as I saw the person whom I have seen previously in photo, I bursted the bubble in shock. What to do! it got stuck up to my nose and face. Before he saw me I turned back and went to washroom and cleared my face off gum and washed my face. I was somewhat fresh but still had a tired look.

I was confident that he would reject me. He looked handsome, I mean verrry handsome even from 20mts away. I dared up and went near him. I gave him my most infectious smile, and he returned it(smile) more beautifully

"Oh god!" His smile brought his left cheek a cutest dimple. Wow! He had a most cutest smile I had ever seen till now. A smile for which any girl could fall for.

For the first time since I was born, I wanted to be a boy, and I wanted him to be a girl so that I could describe how handsome, cute, actually cuter than most cutest girls he was. But girls code, we don't easily admit and never, atleast most times say these things to them.

I understood after seeing him, we could even smile with eyes. He had a wheatish complexion which was partly covered by the French beard. And not to forget a mole on his right side of neck. He extended his hand saying "Nihanth.. Nihanth Sharma" and I shook my hands with him "Jessy.. Jessica Narayan". His handshake was confident, firm, but I felt an electrifying sensation all through my spine. Even my heart began to beat faster.

I took my seat infront of him. He began to talk. His voice was so soothing to my irritating mood, it's a voice which I would never hesitate to hear to. I never thought I would ever scan a boy this much, but I covered every detail of him.

He started " your name seem to be a little different," he had a hesitated look whether or not to ask the question but I calmed his hesitation with the answer.

"When my mom was pregnant, she used to see a lot of Hollywood movies, which ended up in our names. I feel my sister name is more funnier- princy Narayan" I ended.

He wanted to stop laughing but his dimple was to be blamed, even a single twitch of his lips turning upwards(I meant a shortest smile) would make his dimple prominent.

I questoned him "are you a north Indian?"
He answered "yea..sort of! My ancestors shifted from north to south permanently. So I got a north face with south slang," he winked, making my heart skip a beat.

"Sorry, I don't know your profession, I was actually uninterested in this meeting, but meeting you made me happy" I said.

"I look after my family's construction business (Sharma constructions Pvt ltd). My family thought it would be good if I married a interior designer. They have their own calculations. They said we can make a good home both constructionally and emotionally. I don't know how much their formula would work out." He answered.

We talked over two hours, laughing, giggling, scolding eachother, teasing eachother. I was smiling genuinely after years, thanks to him,I smiled looking at him. Then realised it was already late, I decided to leave.

***
I left the place half sobbing and half crying. I was gasping for breath. I heard him saying "atleast let me drive you home", he opened his red Audi's door. Not replying to him and not seeing him I started my bike!

5 minutes back
Nihanth came nearer to me and we both had an inseparable eye contact. My heart was palpitating faster than shathabdi express. I could hear it in my ears.

"I.... " He said

Clearing his throat he said " I.. I like you.

I felt my heart was about to burst out of happiness.

But he continued" TRUST ME, I'll always try my best to keep you happy."

I was about to say I like you too, but I swallowed the lump in the throat and let out these words "sorry! I have trust issues!"

Author's note:
I fell in love with my own creation Nihanth! What do you think of him.. and what do you think of Jessica's stupidity?
I hope you all will love it. Feel free to Comment and vote 😄😍😍
