5 His Smile

Our eyes met.

Out of all the days in my life, it had to be today when our eyes finally met. I swear if it was some other day i could have been bragging about it. But today was different.

The morning was breezy, sunny and pleasant. Exactly how I don't like it to be. For the past few days it had been comfortingly cloudy which made it gloomy and cold. I liked it that way. But today it was all about birds chirping, children squeaking and flowers blooming. Like a fairy tale.

And in this fairytale-like day I saw him. I see him almost everyday actually. I see him when I walk across the street, when i am coming back from grocery- always near my locality. I am guessing he stays somewhere near. And he kind of looks handsome. More like cute.

But there is only one problem. He doesn't know I exist. Sigh! He just doesn't look at me. He doesn't know that I have been looking at him, searching for him, to be honest. Everytime I walk around I pray that I can get a glimpse of him.

But today as I was returning from my class, I saw him. It's a lucky day today.

But something else happened. He turned his head and our eyes met. He looked at me and smiled.

And smiled.

Like he has always known me or something. I couldn't be more happy. That godly smile was directed at me. My heart skipped a beat.

If I wasn't entranced by his smile, I would have noticed my heart had skipped a beat. Two beats. Three. I had skipped all the beats it was supposed to be beating.

If I wasn't entranced by his smile, I would have noticed the speeding car that did not stop at the signal.

If I wasn't entranced by his smile, I would have noticed the people panicking at what unfolded in front of their eyes.

If only I wasn't entranced by his smile, I would have noticed my  body lying on the street , bloodied and lifeless.

If I wasn't entranced by his smile, I would have noticed he was not an ordinary person.

And only if I wasn't entranced by his smile, Maybe i couldn't have been this lucky  to meet him afterall.
