Chapter 2 : Jaanu II

The day of our date finally arrived, and I couldn't contain my excitement. It was a casual outing, but the significance of this moment was immense for me. Being an introvert, I had always found it challenging to interact with girls, but Jaanu had effortlessly broken down my barriers. From the moment I saw her, I knew she was the one who could bring light into my life.

In anticipation of our date, I spent hours researching what to wear. I wanted to make a lasting impression and show her that I cared. However, instead of deciding on my own outfit, I decided to ask her to choose from a selection of dresses. Secretly, I hoped she would choose a traditional saree, with her hair let down, flowing like waves of the sea. There was something incredibly captivating about her silky hair that I couldn't resist.

During the times we had met before the date, I had noticed that she never wore a bindi. It may seem like a small detail, but to me, it held significant meaning. I suggested she wear a bindi for our special day, wanting to see her embrace the traditional essence that I admired. I wanted her to radiate beauty and grace, just as she did every time I laid my eyes on her.

In return, Jaanu had requested me to wear a traditional dhoti and a full-sleeve black shirt. I was delighted when she mentioned that we would be visiting a Lord Shiva temple. Lord Shiva held a special place in my heart as my Ishtha Daivata, my cherished deity. The fact that she chose this sacred place for our date made me believe that our connection ran deeper than I had ever imagined. I was overwhelmed with happiness and gratitude that she understood the significance of Lord Shiva in my life.

Preparing for the date, I struggled to find the perfect outfit. I wanted to look my best, to match Jaanu's elegance. As a skinny guy, I felt self-conscious about my appearance, but I was determined to make an impression. I selected a traditional dhoti and paired it with a full-sleeve black shirt, just as she had requested. The mirror reflected a transformed version of myself, a man ready to embark on a beautiful journey with the woman of his dreams.

As I stood there, gazing at my reflection, I couldn't help but think about the significance of this moment. Jaanu had shown me a side of life I had never experienced before. She had become a beacon of light, guiding me out of my shell and into a world filled with love and companionship. Her eyes, oh, her eyes were enchanting, like deep pools of warmth and understanding. I often found myself lost in their depths, unable to look away.

Her laughter, like a melodious symphony, had the power to lift my spirits and melt away my worries. Every time she laughed, it felt as if a thousand butterflies took flight within me. I cherished those moments, where her laughter filled the air, and for a fleeting second, the world seemed perfect.

The struggle I had faced in choosing the right outfit was insignificant compared to the joy I felt at the prospect of spending time with Jaanu. The love I had for her was evident in every detail, in the way I carefully selected my attire, and in the countless YouTube videos I watched on how to talk to girls. Despite my fears and insecurities, I knew that being with her was worth every ounce of effort.

As I took one last look at myself in the mirror, I whispered a quote that had resonated with me throughout this journey: "In her eyes, I found a universe worth exploring, and in her laughter, I found a melody that could soothe my soul."

With a heart full of hope and love, I set out for our date, ready to create memories that would forever be etched in our hearts.
