“If Only… I knew you…” (Part I)

"It was the first time when I saw you, that’s when I realized I’ve never seen anything so PERFECT…"

Story Begins…

It was one of that morning back then, where everything from the inception seems so quintessential. He remembers it all. It was a long night that he conquered and saw the artistic golden sun got up like a baby and started painting the dark black sky to soothing orange. The morning brought buzzing bumble bees swarmed up in the air in glad searching for nectar to be turned into sweet honey. He gazed the scene as he was lost in his thoughts where he saw a blurry image that made his heart pump blood more than usual. A rush of adrenaline is enough to excite the moment. The scene was then intervened by a knock at the door.
He reached the destination with his friend where it happened. He was sitting outside in an open terrace when he heard a voice coming from a distance, a bit familiar though. He was expecting someone of the same age or a year younger at least but saw a baby boy running and trying to avoid something. He was a bit confused since the voice and the person had no match and the familiar voice seemed unfamiliar now.
He was about to scoot from the scene the familiar voice was there again, and it was closer than the last time, it was approaching as well. It was only a matter of time when He saw She. Same as the familiar voice He knew She from the springtime of life. He was seeing She after 5 years, and thus:
“ It was the first time when I saw you, that’s when I realized I’ve never seen anything so PERFECT ” ….


It’s when someone asked the definition of perfect, He could face it in front of him! The time that got stuck between "is it real?" and "Ohh, yes, it is real."  There she was, a complete blend of awe and wow! Just the hint that he remembers, she was wearing a yellow saree with borders to complete with pink and blue! The colours itself complementing one another! To make it the cherry, the kohl was there till the end to her eyes! How could one be that perfect? He for a second thought to pinch himself to get this confirmed, but he couldn't as he didn't want to miss even a single peck of the moment. She was there in front of him like no one is around. He was dumbstruck. Even now when he closes his eyes the sound that unknowingly came from her golden earrings is still in his senses! He could see the flash coming out behind her golden earrings, to deepen it with silver! Elegance can be defined, that's what he learnt that day! She was caring herself to the best. No makeups and no heavy accessories, plain beauty! Gosh, she was the best sight one could ever have…

And then... There was another voice that helped he to get outta that perfect moment …

“ Mimi kothay geli..??? “ … 

That's when he realised, he was caught… He remembers the caught sight as well… She looked dead straight at his eyes making a question mark with her eyebrows... 
He, on the other hand, was dumbstruck… Again..!! 

He’s friend - “ Tera ho gya ho to chalein ab..?? “
