The Story of a Smiley :-)

Monday 7 November 2011


It was a Sunday. I spend my Sundays by sleeping long usually. Last Sunday, while i was sleeping, i felt light reaching my eyes. Was it a dream? No, I got up and it took some time to realize its Sunday. Then i decided to sleep more. But my friends didnt like that idea, and they came up with a new idea of watching a movie. In next second, i was in bathroom and within a few more minutes, we all were dressed. We are three in number and we have only a bike. We took the chances of getting caught by the Khakhi dressed people and headed to the theatre. There was a yet another friend to join with us, unfortunately she ran late and we had to miss the  whole movie knowingly. That was our only chance to see that movie. We didnt had the patience to wait until next day. So we headed to the food court, searching for new ideas to spend time & money. 

We took our seats and started fishing our brains for new ideas. While everyone was thinking hard, my eyes were set on a cute girl sitting next to our table. She was also staring at me. Whoa, i checked everywhere if there is anyone else catching her eyes. Nope, it was me. I felt proudness inside my heart and i also looked right into her eyes. After looking at each other for a few more minutes, i saw she raising a Pepsi bottle looking at me and started drinking. I guessed i have to act right now itself. In the next moment, i lifted my cola and poured a gulp into my mouth. She kept the bottle back. I imitated. I tried smiling but she didnt like it i guess that she was telling something to her father, i prayed, let that not be about me. He started staring at me then. I looked back like nothing has happened and took another sip of cola. I saw her imitating me there. Hah! How am i gonna give up now, i took another sip. She also. The drinking party kept going for a few more rounds and then i saw her sister and mother also staring at me. Why does she have to involve her parents in this? And what do they want? i wanted to tell, stop looking at me. but then I'd loose the game. i wanted to win it, anyhow, she too. Its between us, so why bringing them into the middle for nothing. My friends were already watching the series of events happening there. They asked me to stop the whole thing. Just when i was gonna stop she challenged me by taking a yet another drink. How could i give up. I replied. But then she calmed me down by lifting a piece of  chicken and looked at me, and then i saw her eating it with a smile of a killer and she was enjoying the bite too. She knew, i didn't have anything to eat on my table. So she declared victory for herself this time. I know I'm lost now,  but i have to show her i enjoyed it and so i smiled at her. She is also smiling now. Have i won something with this lose? I noticed, she couldn't take her eyes off me, even i couldn't. For a moment i thought there is nothing more cute in this world than this one. This is where i guess the term 'love at first sight' can be used. I felt like running over to her and ask her out. But she will say no definitely. So i remained back and watched her actions, she was asking her mother to take her photos, and started posing in front of me. I saw various expressions coming down that face. She wanted to look cute in those photos or she wants me know that shes cute. I get it now! Love was blossoming in the atmosphere. I heard old Hindi songs playing in the background. Nothing better could happen at that time than this. Anyway i got her message, so i put my sun glasses on and started taking photos of mine. I gave her some my own expressions too. i think she didn't like that. i guessed that because, she stopped posing and got up from her seat. While rushing onto something, her sandal broke down, that too in front of me, nothing more humiliating could happen in her life than this. I smell a chance to take down my victory over her, so i gently raised my leg to the height of the table and very gently pointed by million dollar shoes to her! I jumped and kicked on the floor with a message to her. It never breaks. Busted!
  
She lost it! I have won over her. Now i can give her the smile she gave moments ago. but before that i saw her face changing. The way that cute face was moderating with sad expressions, ruined my happiness too. I had already recommended her as the cutest girl in world, but with this face no one would believe me. She went back to her seat and talked to her father. Suddenly, they were all looking at me. My friends were preparing to run but i was stuck there with the bottle on my hand. Next moment, her father got up, looked at me, and then he walked away with his daughter. She was staring at me until she missed me. I wanted to smile but i couldnt. I saw her mother following them, but she didnt forget to smile at me, for giving their cute little daughter a worthful time. But was it really worth?

Hours later, while we were going back from the food court, we reached 2nd floor and suddenly i came face to face with this girl. Her legs are not big enough to walk like a grown up. Still she managed to run like a child. I wonder which class she might be in or has she started going to school? When she saw me, i saw her eyes varying from a dusty atmosphere to the world of happiness. She was smiling the next moment. With her lips, with her eyes, from her heart.. And i danced for her. She called up her father and showed me to him. He smiled. And then she faded away from my sight looking at me until the very last moment and smiling. I wonder what her name would be. For that the most beautiful smile she gave, i named her Smiley :-)
