Chapter 1: The Fated Encounter
The lightning strikes and there was a gaze out from her, it was just always he was sitting in the same position at the same place where he is always and was just spacing through his thoughts over her might be that was what she initially thought as there were not much of a customers at that shop and it was a bit lonely there as there was only a male shopkeeper there he always used to welcome her with a smile as being his regular customer she was offered the formality. What he might be thinking sitting there alone doing nothing just sipping his coffee till his wash was complete and would pay his bill and would return on alternate days were the thoughts through her mind when she always watches him and tries to talk to him but was unable to gather much of a courage to do so, she would just leave him as he is and would just watch him and gaze out his own imaginations, it was one of those days and she was ready for the wash and was at the shop for washing and waiting there in waiting room with her coffee and her thoughts for him and the lightning strikes and the storms burst out and out were the lights it was just before she realized that the lights were out and nothing could be seen as it was dark weather clouds hiding every single ray of light, her heart was racing furiously with fear and out came the scream which shook him from his imaginations and came to his senses and was observing the situation while he heard her scream and out came his reply just wait where you are I am coming there and saying such things he just went over there turning on his flash light of his cell and rescued her to the outdoors where the manager of the shop humbly told them to wait there while lighted some of his candles and go for switching on the back up lights.
After sometime the storm subsided and came the rays of light racing towards the window and flashing the light all over the place where she sat there holding his hands in fear and relief of him holding her hands, a relief was sigh by relieving her hands when she saw light and was now a bit comfortable she thanked him after that incident and went back to the machine to get her clothes back. He replied welcome and continued to sit where he was and again goes his daily routine sipping his coffee and waiting for his clothes to dry. She left home early that day as she can't bear the thought of him holding her hands so sudden it was some other feeling that she felt a kind of relief was feeling the warmth was very comforting for her to calm down. Going through the whole situation in his mind he started writing on his laptop another novel while sitting on his couch at his home.
On the next meeting she again saw him sitting there in the same place sipping his usual coffee and waiting for his clothes to dry, she decided to thank him properly for the last time and without any further delay she threw the clothes in the machine and went to his table and asked for the coffee the manager noted the order and told her to wait for 5 minutes to which she nodded in thanks and switched to the generous mode and pleasant smile on her face while facing towards him. It was after her ahh!! Twice or thrice that he noticed her and replied sorry for not paying attention to who was sitting next to him. He introduced himself properly as Nishanth Malhotra in return she referred herself as Shristi Parikh and the regular chatting started as how you are here and what do you do for work and etc… but something was bothering her he could sense it and so he asked her if he could be of any help in any manner in becoming her sounding board to which she returned as that the moment I saw you it is bothering me that we have met before but I am unable to recall it by any chance is my hunch true..a feeling of shock faded away his smile and regaining to his senses and usual smile he nodded in no but watching the whole thing she felt that something was wrong and he was hiding something and on the contrary he was thinking the time when he first met her and the embarrassment was on both their faces it was ages ago but still the memories remain still as water to him watching in slow motion and rewinding it and playing again he was always doing that thing while sitting on the same chair sipping his usual coffee not a care in the world, he never would have imagined her to be there and for so long and for noticing her at first he was cursing himself and several thought were running through his minds, his chain of thoughts were broken suddenly pleased to meet you again were the words came out from his mouth spontaneously. To his reply she smiled and greeted him warmly. Have we met before was the next question from her to which he smiled and spoke "meeting us is a destiny" were the first words to you at the joggers park. She smiled back to her reply and remembered meeting a guy covered his face half masked and sitting next to her on the bench after having a complete jogging session and exhausting himself was having energy drink, what kind of face he might be hiding behind the mask? Why is he wearing a mask? Will he be cute or hot? He at least have an athletic body! Were the thoughts running across her mind and curiosity got better than her and she decided to ask him to why is he wearing a mask and if he don't mind to show his face to which his reply was the above statement and further more that he believes in destiny and if destiny wishes we might cross our paths again at some other place at some other time and until that time let's wait for it to cherish it, saying those words he started walking and went away she didn't bothered to follow him as he said she believed in him and waited for the right moment to work out and there they were and continues the present.
