It is said that love is the most beautiful thing given to the living beings by god. This omnipresent feeling is the most spectacular emotion that bonds people. I used to always read these lines and wondered if I’ll ever find a true love. Things have not worked in my favor when it comes to love and have been unsuccessful with all my affairs and after my every break up I was always left with a bitter feeling but I never thought I would get a special feeling from a person with whom I never spoke and knew nothing about her.
I clearly remember it was mid of December and it was first time winter was at its best in Mumbai. I was already late for the college. I anyhow packed up my bag and hurried towards the bus stop only to find that my bus had left. The next bus was fifteen minutes later. I was impatiently waiting for the next bus when my eyes went on an attractive, very attractive young woman. She simply took my breath away. She looked like an angel as she was heading towards the opposite bus stop. Her smart jeans and white kurta glowed in the golden rays of the rising sun. She must be in her mid twenties; I believe and had an average height with a figure to lust for. The long black hair framed her beautiful face. My eyes were glued on her, they were motionless, gazing at her splendor. I was confident that I had never seen a woman such appealing like her. I simply couldn’t take my eyes off her. A few minutes later her bus came and she vanished. The whole day I was smitten by her thoughts. I simply couldn’t resist myself speaking about her with my friends. I felt that it was love at first sight but my friends told me that it was just an infatuation and nothing else. This left me confused but I was happy since that confusion gave me a lovely feeling. The next day I reached the bus stop on time. My bus came but something inside prompted me not enter, I held myself back. As my bus left I again saw that lady, this time looking even more beautiful. She had something in her which had got me connected. I was hoping our eyes to meet but it did not happen. Two weeks went by, things continued the same way at the bus stop when suddenly one day out of blue she looked at me and gave a smile. That moment was magical. She also left her bus that day. I was thrilled and overjoyed. I thought of approaching her but had a sense of fear of ruining things. By the time my bus came and I went. The whole day I was cursing myself of being such a coward. My friends still believed that it was infatuation but I felt it was more than that and decided to speak to her. The next day I went to the bus stop and was waiting for her. I was continuously preparing for my lines to be said in front of her but to my disappointment she did not come even after my second bus left. Everyday I used to stand at the bus stop hoping to see her. Days went by and I never ever saw her again. Today it’s almost five years since I last saw her but even today when I stand at the bus stop I imagine her. Why did she miss her bus that day? Why did she smile at me? Did she want to talk to me? These questions keep coming into my mind and the answer which I get is just a beautiful feeling and smile on my face. My college friends still feel the same as they used to. Maybe they were right but one thing is true I never ever fell in love again.
