Small Riddles & The Joke Life Is
Same situation once again. Father gave a one more slashing try to daughter on this Sunday and daughter is so pissed that now she takes it likes a circus ride. Just like previous meeting, she expects it to end it in few minutes with a month long silence and relief.
She settles for some other coffeeshop this time hoping at least she will get to know the coffee shop if not the person she is going to meet. She wears normal tee and denim. No special make up effects to keep the interest and hope level high.
So she takes a cab and reaches the coffee shop. This one is pretty with a nice ambience. As soon as she enters, she gets surrounded by hotel staff and as always she asks them table for two. But this time around, the representative welcomes her by calling her name and points her cornered table where a suited gentleman is sitting.
She is surprised and smells something fishy. She steps up and is now standing at the back of this gentle man. She turns towards him and says hello. The guy stands up and revert hello with a velvet smile. Suddenly everything seems to be in slow motion for her and she just adores the yellow table mats spread on tables and loves the girl with ‘otherwise so irritating’ purple boots. World seems nice to her and everybody looks harmless and too cute to handle all of a sudden. She gathers herself soon and tries to find the practical bitch inside. But no rescue.
She sits and stares at him with an expression of two year old. He now shuts his laptop and puts it in bag. He says sorry and then explain her that how he has arranged this meeting after so many efforts. She was bewildered. He was continuing that he saw her 5 years back in an office party and then saw her on facebook via mutual friends and howcome her parents one day came up with some random cousin sister's wedding album where she was dancing in full spree and was looking million dollar.
She is by now speechless and full ear to him. He explains her that he just wanted to meet and see if they could click but he could not get hold of her as she was not ready to get married. Hence he waited for 2 more years and when finally she said yes to meet him up. He did not want to leave any stone unturned. Hence, he arranged the seats and came early.
She is stunned with the homework this guy has done on her for years. Now the only thing she needs to digest it was a cup of coffee. As if he is hearing her already in brain and in hindsight calls for a coffee. She takes few sips and realizes that this guy is going to be tough.
This was the first time she met such a well prepared 'die-hard' handsome guy. He is tall, not dark and sexy like hell. She has to change her mind with life-long single-hood concept and say yes to at-least next meeting with him. However, a thought occurs in her head, and she realizes that she does not have to be giving in first meeting. Damn! She should have worn the white dress today. How horrible she looks.
After a devil and evil sides' debate in her head, she finally decides to utter some words and start conversation with the truth and starts telling how she never believed marriage at all. She is going through arranged marriage process just for parents' happiness and ultimately going to say no for all.
He cut her in between and takes her hand in his. She is visibly shocked but wants him to pick her up in her head. He is saying now that he knows about it and he has no problems with what so ever she thinks.
She now badly wants to say that she wants to try him. But he is not finished and keeps his conversation on saying that even he is not prepared and doing this out of parents' push but now he wants to settle down for parents’ happiness. She is visibly red in cheeks and expecting a proposal any moment and cursing herself for wearing most stupid tee on earth. He draws chair near to hers and whispers in a very soft tone that he wants a wife like her who gives a damn about marriage and does not make a fuss if her husband is dating a guy.
Excuse me..Hello..Did I just hear..Oh My Lord..*Flush*
Her jaw drops and suddenly she notices the pink pendent in his neck & his cross legged posture. The yellow mats look hideous and she feels like banging those purple boots on chick's head. Finally life is back to normal and cupids are gone.
She leaves to puke as soon as the handsome guy opens laptop to show his Negro beau's pictures.
