THAT TINGY FEELING….

Love at first sight… such an ambiguous feeling right! We may all have experienced but did not realize it or we may have felt this was it but realized only later that it is not!!

It was a normal Wednesday morning. Annie woke up with her morning blues. She did her daily chores meticulously thinking of all those meetings and client calls. She dragged herself out of her apartment and finally reached the office at the usual time. She kept muttering curses about her monotonous life and prayed for a miracle to happen. But to her disappointment, the day passed by without any excitement. She had the same old canteen food, gossiped with the same old friends and returned to her cabin by 2.00 pm.

She was just looking around her office daydreaming and suddenly she felt she saw someone. It took her breath away but he moved swiftly and was out of her sight. She just kept hoping to get a glance of him. She kept wondering why her stomach started twitching every time she wondered about him. He had a physique that was distinguishable. She just felt it was her mind playing games with her but she wasn’t able to forget that incident. She started hallucinating and replaying the same situation again and again. But when she came back to her senses, to her dismay, it was the same old computer in front of her and nothing else.

Suddenly, she saw a ping from her manager who called for an immediate meeting. She pulled herself up, cleared all her thoughts and rushed towards his cabin. And my god… what she saw next astonished her for a minute! She kept gazing at that sight. She couldn’t take her eyes off. Suddenly she heard someone call her name and she was back to reality. She was squealing with excitement inside her head. It was that same physique that she saw before. He was way more gorgeous than she imagined. She couldn’t stop blushing but she had to hide it before anyone saw her. She felt like a teenage girl. And then a total bouncer hit her day when her manager nominated her to assist the guest of the day. She was happily smiling and more than willing to take up the job.

It was the best week of her life. She spent most of her time with this distinguishable, handsome, exhilarating person and each word or action affected her a lot. She would not miss noticing even small actions of him. She tried knowing the likes and dislikes of her guests. The office did not seem this interesting in her entire career so far.

It was Friday morning. Annie woke up and felt a gush of zeal looking at her herself in the morning. She got up soon and got ready like a cheetah. She wore her best dress, highlighted the right areas of her face and pinched her face. Why wouldn’t she be excited? She finally decided to ask her “crush” on a date. She finally realized she was head over heels in love with her crush. She stalked her crush on all social media sites and found out the best date location. She was very anxious as it was her first time but she was enjoying it as well. 

She finally reached the office and all her teammates noticed the new Annie. They were all smiles seeing her and complimented her as well. The clock was ticking and she was patiently waiting for the dream to hit the real world. She made quick calls and made all the arrangements ready. She cleared both of their calendars as well. Anyone from a 250m radius could notice the spark in her face. Her cheekbones were highlighting themselves with pink. And yeah… finally, the time arrived. She saw her man coming towards her desk, all smiles, mesmerized eye contact and silent words being passed across. Annie rose from her desk and gave him this huge grin. She updated him about office works for an hour. And yeah she acquired all her confidence and finally she did it... It was the most romantic proposal ever and yeah she did it…. She felt on top of the world. She was waiting positively for his answer.

 He just stood there; he was taken aback and stared at her blankly. She was confused about his reaction. She tried calming him down but with vain. She thought she would give him space and just vanished from his sight. She was feeling so restless. She tried avoiding him the whole day. She was feeling desperate but she had to respect his space. After what went by as ages, her mobile vibrated. She was nervous for the first time in her life for a message. She opened it as slowly as possible and her worst nightmares triggered. He had typed a long message and each word hit her heart like an arrow. He told her that he was seeing someone else and unfortunately it was the last day at this office. He also mentioned that he enjoyed her company and was sorry to have misled her.  She felt her whole world break down into pieces. She did not know how to tape her broken heart. She cried her heart out for a couple of days. She felt incomplete. She could feel the emptiness.

But as days passed by, each memory started fading slightly. She concentrated on her office work. She at times did not even think about him for days. Her life seemed to have gone back to the golden olden days. And yeah time was the best healer and no matter what every heart-wrenching sunset promises earth a new beautiful sunrise.           

A few months down the lane while Annie was just glancing through her memories she was wondering what that feeling was? Just a crush or love at first sight or just infatuation. She was confused as everyone else… but she always believed in miracles and love finding its way… She was definitely waiting for hers….
