I was on my way to college; my watch has already clicked 8:00 AM ten min ago. I had a must attend class by 9:15 and I was still around 20 km away. Tension was building up as and when I started to get struck at each signal on this long ring road. I started to stare at my watch very frequently. My mind was restless and it started to think on what excuse should I give this time? Sir Traffic?? Or no need to attend class? Can I make it within time?? Or shall I take shorter ways?? If I take shorter way I have to explore a lot and in the end I will lose my time.
Sun started to spread his rays slowly and I was busy in thinking of all my college chores that has to be finished by looking at decrementing counter of traffic signal, as if to divert my mind from this tension business, BMW waiting at signal on other end of lane just few meters away from me made me attract to it. I always get attracted to these high profile cars from childhood. I was looking at it passionately, suddenly I could see the sliding window, wow what a beautiful girl!! For a moment I was lost in the eyes of what I am seeing at. A very simple girl with beautiful eyes looking out of window as if she has not seen the traffic crowd. I was staring at her beauty without my knowledge. Strong beep horn made me realize that signal has become green. Very soon I started to follow the car for few meters. But she got diverted at some other signal. What a start to the day!! I said to myself, smile remained in my face for a minute or so, started to keep on smiling by thinking of same incident again and again. But this sudden incident was volatile enough that I came out of it very soon. But one question remained in my mind, why the hell i did not follow her till end ? Was this class so important that i am not supposed to bunk out?? I felt that I should have followed her!! Between my sub conscious mind made me realise that it was just a mere incident that happens with all others. So its better to keep this as sweet memory of what you have seen and should move on. I guess I was very happy that day by thinking of her again and again.
While returning back to his home, my eyes were searching for the same car, I was just looking at any BMW, but alas, I did not find any. I had a fine day though it was same routine day like rest of other days, but signal incident made my day to look special. very next day I again started to look for same car here n there, finally very same signal came, but I did not find the car. So from then I stopped thinking about it and came into senses, again same routine chores made me busy. it might have been 3 days after that incident, this time I could able to find the same car at the same signal, but I was behind that car and somehow I managed to pull up and made sure I am beside that car, I was wishing to see her again and as if an answer to my wish, she opened the back window again. This time I saw her very closely with wide open eyes, and then I realized that she was not from India, she looked like a mid-Asian. She looked at me too, with a smile at the edge of her lips. Soon they got departed again. Luck started to walk by my side and I started to see her everyday at same time and same signal. she used to be in car and he used to be on his impulse bike 
There came a day wherein I felt like I should make a move in this relation, this time I thought of to ask her number, exchanging smile was more than enough for me to gain the required courage to make a move. I wanted to ask her number!!! But how can I?? I never spoke with her, and am scared too, she was very 1st gal for whom I am wishing to talk with her desperately. But how to proceed?? I started to think on that, finally I got out of class pretty much early as if I have got some idea, soon I landed up in Garuda Mall, took nice white colored graffiti T-shirt. And got it printed my mobile number on back of it. So I was ready to make move, but time seem to move very slowly for me, I was feeling restless and got awakened from sleep repeatedly, and used to sleep back by looking at time, it’s just 2:00 AM, 4:00AM, god when it will become 8:10 !!!! , there it was I was ready by 7 and came very early to that signal with my new branded T-shirt. But I did not make move from that signal instead I started to wait by edge of road for the same BMW, so there it was exactly at 8:10 I could see the car, I got ready and came in lane, but she was on extreme right and I was on extreme left of road. Now I was trying to show my number by showing my back, but she did not notice it instead she felt bad that I am trying to avoid her by showing my back to her. So she closed the window and moved ahead.
Sadly I did not understand what had happened, but after thinking for while I felt that may be she got annoyed. next day again I wore same dress, and this time I was somewhat near to her car and started to show his number and this time I tried to tell her by giving sign to look at my back … there it was, she took down the number finally. I started to wait for her call/message; 10 days passed by but did not get any. Slowly I started to feel that it may not be other side , it’s still one way of love. Or may be i am feeling that its love. I have changed my timings, decided not see her in signal. Changed my route, but fate had something else to say, that day she also changed her route and yet again we happen to meet in some different signal. Well this time it did not happen by mere co-incidence, we are meant to be met.
May be after half quarter, when I was in middle of some novel, my mobile cell beeped with unknown number. as he opened it lazily , I saw a message, saying ” Hi Stranger ”
Well, that’s how it started; it did not take much time for me to get to know that it was her. so eventually we started to exchange messages very often. got used to each other, started to know each other very well. and it was very happy time for both of us. Finally one fine day we decide to meet!! Somewhere outside Bangalore, so I chose Café Coffee Day of Bidadi, she was asked to come there around 4:30, and I was there by 4 and was waiting for her desperately. so she was there by right on time, there came a big vehicle Audi, I told myself what the heck man, “Its Audi”. I smiled at her and moved further. As we shook hands, soon I saw her car’s back door getting opened and there came two kids aged around 3 -5 years, asking mom who is this?? , I could not believe what I just heard, she introduced me to them, say hi to uncle, he is my friend. His name is “Angad”. I was shocked and could not say anything…. we both just moved into coffee day and finally she broke the silence, I am Eva Sandra, I have been brought up in Israel, single mother now and came India to pursue my carrier. I am studying Oncology. It’s good that I happen to meet a friend like you with whom I can spend time with and share my life. I was dumb stroked, shattered within, and was just nodding my head, trying to keep fake smile on my face. She asked me again, what are you up to Angad? I told her about my post graduation in medical science. We started to speak normally, had some snacks and coffee…
We think we understand our life, but life always surprises us…
