“TG, right?”, I turned
around as I heard the voice from behind me. What I saw next made my heart want
to come out of my mouth that very instant. He raised one of his eyebrows. My
face had a puzzled look. “TG is it?”, he preferred asking again. Damn girl, just say an yes, my inner self kicked me virtually. “Ye-Yes” Thank god. “Mind
if I sit? You do remember me right?” How could I not! I couldn’t believe it was
him, standing in front of me… sitting now, actually. “Anwar, of course”, I
said, trying not to sound ‘desperate’ if I be bold to admit that. “The flight’s
late by an hour and you seem to be the only one I know here”, he said as he
pulled in his seat close. I could only smile as I was busy trying not to drool
over this fucking handsome guy whose steaming temperatures might burn me in a
second. “Are you on the same flight?” He asked me taking off his ticket. I
looked at it, “Yeah.” “That’s nice.”He said and there was a prolonged gap of
silence. I was having
conversations with my own self, as to what I should be talking to my
long lost high school crush. And he might be thinking that I wasn’t interested
in talking to him as he had yakked a lot comparatively and I hadn’t replied
well. Just blather something. This might be the only
chance you got. I opened up my mouth
and there came a “Hi” from behind me. A girl came rushing towards him and gave
him a hug along with a small peck on his lips. “This is TG, my junior from high
school. And this is Natasha, my love, my life.” Junior
from high school? That’s it??? And she “my love, my life” How awful! “I’ll
see you in the flight then.” He said as he got up from the chair, with his hand
clenched to her waist. I raised my head, “Bye” That was all I could say. I
thought I was getting a chance to impress my crush but it was just another
moment meant to crush me. He would have at least introduced me as his friend,
if I had responded in a better way. What better would that have done any way?
She would still be ‘My love, my life’. Ugh! I hate this. I stood up stumbling
my feet trying to push the ground beneath me. I strolled towards the cafeteria.
There was a tap on my shoulder, “I think you dropped this”. I didn’t know if I
had dropped what the guy assumed me dropping; but he had certainly made me drop
my jaw all at once. “Your tickets, I guess.” I took them, “Yeah, thank you.”
“Mind joining me for a cup of coffee?” I’d be termed a certified idiot if I had
said ‘no’ to this fucking handsome guy with steaming temperatures, good enough
to burn me in a second. Heard that line
somewhere K “Sure”
I uttered and he led me to a small table at the corner.
