Nikita
Or was it Nikitha? Never mind the spelling or the name, it was the face that mattered the most. I can still remember the face, the most beautiful face I have ever seen (and this is the most cliched statement too). Incidentally it was my mom's birthday today and not so surprisingly she wanted me to take her to a temple and to my own surprise I said a YES to her request and it was all the more surprising because I gave in to her without a fight. Gawd!! I am still surprised as to how I volunteered to go to a TEMPLE of all the places!!
I happened to visit the Hanuman temple(Bachelor's party eh!!).To be frank I find temple-going a boring act and dread going to these places. But to my fortune I happened to meet a cute girl who made up for my woes.I was standing in the queue, my mom was in front of me and was too deeply involved in her prayers to get disturbed by my actions.I was looking around for something interesting(read as distraction) and my eyes happened to get a glimpse of a charming face, a face so beautiful so attractive....lemme describe this maiden. She was fair, really cute looks, had the most charming smile ...ya truly 100 watt. She had these really small eyes and gave me a feeling that she came to the temple right out of her sleep. And not just me there were quite a few people there whos attention was captured by this babe I must say! There were a few girls there two who felt jealous of her beauty!! I kept looking at her (don't read as ogle) and after sometime she too looked at me, it was just a glimpse. That really made me happy. After receiving the arathi and theertham I again looked at her with a smile on my face this time(man did I look stupid?? No I didn't)
Her dressing sense was good too. She wore a ornate black skirt that rolled upto her knees. Over that she wore a blue and white striped sweater that went along really well with the skirt and her smile ofcourse. And the best part was yet to come, she smiled at me this time.....maan I was flattered by that. But good times don't last long, do they? My puja time was up and I had to leave. With a heavy heart I looked at her (one last time) and sorta waved at her to bid her a farewell and bad luck mate;she wasn't looking at me this time. I began my long walk out of the temple recalling memories of my tryst with beauty.
It was a custom among hindus to sit in the temple for a few minutes after the puja and accordingly I looked for a spot where my mom and me could sit. We found a neat spot and sat down. To my amazement I happened to meet the "cute girl" again. This time she was walking up and down that place and seemed to be really elated for reasons unknown. I decided to make my move,I went up to her with confidence all high that I might get an intro. I went close to her looked into her eyes and said a "Hi" in a low voice, trying to sound sweet. To my surprise, her dad suddenly ran upto her, giving the "cute girl" a shock. Maan he came running to her as though I was going to gobble her up. After that he lifted her and caught her in his arms and with a smile looked at me. I too smiled at the two of them. He looked at her and pointed to me saying "Nikita say hello to anna".
