A girl and A guy

A little sunny and warm

A cold breeze,

Perfect day and a perfect season.

A sweet maroon dress

A black shirt and blazer

A perfect church set for a wedding

A Reading of love

From the book: Song of Songs.

With jive and waltz and flowers around.

The stage is set

The lines are written

They are revised

The dance floor is empty and calling them

But the guy gets busy

The girl gets conscious

They enjoy the wedding

They hug and leave.

At night,

The guy curses himself,

Couple of days later.

The guy thinks  *its now or never..*

In the afternoon

Rewrites the lines,

Byhearts the lines,

Revises the lines,

Gets the flowers,

Searches for a private and cozy coffee outlet,

Rubs his shoes clean,

Tucks his shirt in,

Eats his nails short

Empties the deodorant bottle and eats mint.

Time scheduled for the proposal : 630pm

While packing up and leaving from work,

The downfall starts:

Gets a sms from the boss,

Is called for some urgent work,

Forgets the flowers,

Dirties his shoes,

Ironed shirt looks all cramped

By the bus rush

Meeting last for an hour.

The girl luckily has some work,

Both leave together,

The guy realizes theres no time for coffee,

Then realizes the flowers are under the table at office,

Looks at this shoes and his shirt,

And gets all disspointed.

The roadside dahi puri replaces the cozy coffee,

The walk is hurried

They take the cab and there that’s it.

At dadar station

An overflowing dustbin gives company

A rush hour crowd gives some rave looks

With all the courage of the world

Says “I need to tell you something”

Her phone rings… Ma calling..

Guy thinks in split 2 sec “ everything going wrong.. flowers gone, chat = snacks, appy and majja tetrapacks = expresso, crowded dirty station = cozy & private place

Lets not do it…God is showing signs.. L

After the call

The girls says: you were saying something…

The guy in mime: Its now or never..

He starts: You need to know something..

*determined* He says..

You need to know something

I like you

And I really like you.

I think from the day of the prom you swept me away

Next 5 secs…

The insides crush against each other

He starts smiling and confused and ackward

His wisedom tooth is not allowing him to complete the smile

He is feeling too many things at a time..

He looks at the girl.

She is smiling, astonished and confused…

He forgets all the lines…

He is blank…

He looks at her

Says : “ok bye.. lets go home and think about it!”

Hugs and leaves no..

Actually hugs and runs away!
