A Damsel so Sweet :)

A Damsel so Sweet :)
After the usual Monday Blues & a boring Boss talk which pushed Me in 10mins of overtime, I scraggled My way to the bus stop. With My usual bus gone & the delay increasing, it just meant addition to My woes. As I perched Myself roadside, My motion detectors caught a Glimpse of Baby Pink across the other side. It wasn't animated though. Having scouted the whole road in My vision, I turned the other way in Search of Red. Baby Pink blurred past yet again instead. Now My field of view definitely straightened. Nothing special was My 1st thought on the sight of Pink & Blue standing meek... Pretty I thought & again made a insane face looking at My watch. Staring back up, I could now see some movement, the same like while I was scouting. The sight was just normal- A Dame looking for some mode of transport. As empty rickshaws passed, I waited for some private vehicle to stop by & render My sight to the back old boring view. But it never happened. My eye locked on to 4metres @ F1.8+Bulb, Aim constrained like in Maya, the Figure in Pink tee & Blue jeans being the controller!! There wasn't anything spectacular about the sight except for those Light brown eyes speaking her emotions. Even She was waiting for Red is what I inferred. My students passed by asking for my contact number. The constraint weighed zero for some moments as I shooed away My students. As My vision focus went from zero to infinity, the pink sight was gone only to be detected to My left in a second. I dared not to turn, instead expecting a Red sight across the road. No, nothing in red even now & finally My head turned left. A quick glance & the sweetest of smiles greeted Me. Even My lips Curved up :)
I didn't know why She crossed the road inspite of being in the shade on the other side. Eye contact was obviously inherent by now. Few glances & some vibrating moments later came the softest of Female voices. The only exchange of words followed-
"will this bus go to andheri station?"
"yes, it will" ( not sure which bus She was referring to. Thankfully both the buses on that route conform to My answer. )
The bus was yet to enter horizon. The nerves had settled finally & the frequent glance was no more in hiding. As the bus came in sight, we stuttered our way, stopping a time or two to let vehicles pass by. Stepping my way up the bus just behind her, I knew this was the start of the end of this Cute little romance !! Few seats apart & with no opportunity for another glance meant almost the end. She definitely glanced back once though, smiling sweet & wanting another assurance of the Only words I spoke. A small tilt of the head & curving lips served her purpose. As the crowd filled up the gangway, vision was lost as My Aim constraint was weighed on by the scribble that You are reading now....
The last stop was nothing but a mere pink sight walking by as I frantically made My way to cut through the crowd in vain...
Pink never looked so Pretty neither did tied hair.. Sometimes we face instances in life we never forget. This wasn't anything spectacular by any means, yet has left an indelible carving in My head. The last time this happened was 56 months back, in the Air in the midst of clouds. That time I got to her name circumstantially...
Even this time I definitely would've liked to atleast know Her name, but I guess the romance lives in the fact that I write this because I don't know that same reality !!
This is Me signing off-
BEST bus no. 252, Beauty Gurus stop, 4 Bungalows, Versova, Andheri west, Mumbai.
