Saw her at the dance class. As she entered the room, the time seemed to stop to take a look at the new entrant feeling obfuscated that they still had passages from heaven to earth. As she introduced herself to us it was as if she spoke from a pulpit to the plebeian class. I could see her skin practically radiating all the light that fell on it. All the other girls in the room shifted uneasily from the ubiquitous spread of her aura. With a winsome smile that reached her eyes and caught yours too, she had elegance written all over her. She was an ethereal beauty with a pellucid skin none less than a goddess, surprisingly, without actually knowing this and talking to us, mere mortals. Partners were chosen in haste by the instructor being oblivious to my burning desire to be partnered with her. He kept pairing random people together and as he pointed his finger to her my heart skipped a couple of beats, but alas, to my utter horror she was given to somebody else. I swore heavily under my nose. I thought she looked at me for a second but then slowly but intently walked towards the lucky bastard, who was busy pretending that he didn’t care which could have even mildly accepted had he announced that either he was gay or was nailing megan fox. Partnered, I enviously gazed at them and was sure that they could never notch up to ‘a good looking couple’ as the boy looked to be a person who suddenly owned a Mercedes when he deserved only a Maruti. Then as the instructor came by again he seemed to have seen them standing together and instantly stopped. I guess he realized his mistake too. He looked around the room and then to my disbelief beckoned me. I stood rooted to the ground unable to decide whether this just happened or my sub conscious had got the better of me and was hallucinating. I walked to her, faster than intended and stood beside her. He instructor was satisfied, he looked at her then at me, my eyes screaming thank you without blinking. He gave a small nod as if acknowledging this.
He instructed us all to hold hands and look at each other. I could actually comprehend the writers intend of the following lines. “That moment when u are with someone and everything around you goes in slow motion, everything else goes blur and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that this person is the only person that u r supposed to be with and in this one moment u get this amazing feeling and u are both happy and sad coz u feel so lucky u found it and so scared that it will go away.”
To be Contd….
