Her Story-I

She believed in FATE, still does.

Her fate brought her close to him or so she thought.

She doesn't know how and why but the instant she laid her eyes on the pictures of him on one of the networking sites, she wished for him to call her, she just knew his name and the name got printed in her heart. She had no hope of course because she was a stranger to him and vice-versa. No clue as such. So she had just wishes and wish she did to the almighty GOD.

An unknown number calling, she picks up. An unknown male voice on the other end says 'hi there,

she responds saying wrong number and cuts off the call. A ring again from the same number, this time she is angry, hellow? (her tone is harsh), the voice immediately says are u such and such….working in XYZ? 

Her tone changes as she gives an affirmative note to his questions. This time she asks who is on the other line?...he says I m such and such working in XYZ, and her heart gives a sudden flip, a sudden cry of joy hearing the name (her heart pace increases), she is not sure she heard it right, come again says she…and this time with the same answer she pinches herself to see whether or not she is dreaming! (Aww...she feels the pinch).

She is shocked beyond words and meanings …how is it possible...did God really hear her this time? Is he the same person she wished for? Finding out he really is the same person she wished for, her faith in the almighty GOD deepens, her believe in the FATE thing deepens too! 

For a moment, no words come out; she thinks she has lost her voice. Only when he says… you there? She replies…yes and feels she squeaked.

Then after, her joy knew no bounds. They used to call each other constantly. But one gnawing question, where did he get my number?...was eating her up , she had been meaning to ask him but every time she forgot.

So during one such call, she asks him and he says it is a secret and that he will reveal it sometime later, she agrees. After many such calls they decide to meet and in person he looked more of everything in her eyes. She felt intimidated by his height and happy too, GOD he was tall!

After reading all those romantic (M&B) novels, she had wished for a tall, dark and handsome guy and there he filled her wish…coz he was definitely tall, dark and handsome!

Once he had even rolled a Nu.50 note and made it in a shape of a ring and slipped it on her ring finger, saying soon I am going to replace it with a real one, her happiness knew no limits.

She had a bounce in her steps, a smile on her lips and a sparkle in her eyes!

But her happiness was short –lived.

Once she made a visit to his Office upon his insistence. He was so lovey-dovey and she felt content with the love he had for her. She had forgotten to check her mails that morning and she asks his permission to use his PC for a while, he agrees to that and says while you are checking your mails I will get us steaming cuppa tea. She blows him a kiss as he walks out of his Office.

Maybe god wanted her to see it (but why?). He had forgotten to log out and there a picture, a girl's picture and a mail from the same girl? She reads the mail, at the top it is written acho, (whew! she relaxes and smiles) but as she reads, tears start forming in her eyes, one blink and it silently rolls down her cheeks. 

How could he was all she thought as she gazed transfixed on the blurred screen.
