The accidental date (Part 1)


"Eat something and go!" My mom shouted from the kitchen.

"No, ma. It is already late! I'm leaving. Bye!!" I shouted back and as I went out through the front door, I tripped on the carpet and almost fell down. Unfortunately, my mom happened to see this.

"Come inside, sit down, and drink water. It is a bad sign if you trip when you are going out." she told me.

I started complaining once again about being late already, but she wouldn't listen to anything. So, I had to wait and do all the things she asked me to. After an agonizing two minutes, I rushed downstairs and started my bike. I almost ran over a cat, which was crossing the road just when I had started to accelerate, but somehow managed to maneuver away.

I had first stumbled by her profile in orkut while browsing through my friend's friend's profile. She looked very pretty in her profile picture, so I decided to have a look at her full profile. I was surprised to find that she had almost all her interests similar to mine. I decided to send her a friend request, just to see if she accepted me. I forgot about her as soon as I closed the orkut window.

A couple of days passed, and when I checked my orkut account again, I found that to my surprise, she had added me! And she had even left a scrap in my scrapbook which said 'Hii..glad to meet a person wit similar interests...hope we become gud frnds!!' I was overjoyed, and to add to my happiness, I found that she was online at that time. I replied to her immediately, and somehow, I had the most amazing conversation of my life within the one hour I chatted with her. I told her this, and she told me she felt the same too! It was as though we had known each other for years. We decided to chat at the same time the next day. Again, it was a very interesting one.

Days passed. It was almost a couple of months after we had our first conversation, that we decided to meet up. Though both of us were based in Chennai, I was studying in a university in Thanjavur. That made it extremely difficult to fix a date for the meeting. Finally, we decided to meet at Spencer's plaza during the semester holidays, which was due after my placements.
