I'll see you around...

“Yeah I’ll be there...” she sighed, drawing imaginary lines around her phone. “yea I know want I want to wear… thx c u there”. Shar hung up the phone as if damming it to hell. She was angry. Angry at everything. She shook her head and put on some music at the loudest possible volume in the hopes to shut out her thoughts. Nothing was helping her. Her anger was irrational and for some reason she couldn’t seem to help it. She undressed and went for a shower. As hot water ran through her hair she stood in the shower just not knowing what to do. Her eyes seemed to give it away. Somehow the tears seemed hotter than the shower. Finally, she thought. She was tired of wanting to feel secure wanting to be happy and basically just wanting.
Shar dressed into simple black low neck top and a denim mini, it was jus perfect with the heels. She took a deep breath and gave a broad smile. It was her Vishesh’s birthday party. Although for people they were best friends. She knew he was just not there anymore. She put on a brave face and entered the place with blaring beats and chilling ac. She danced like never before. The combination of music, whisky and anger proved deadly for her. She was used men staring at her as a hot object but then some guy over the bar was looking at her like she’s from outer space. She wondered as sat near the bar. But she couldn’t help but look back at that guy. ‘What the hell’ she thought. She went upto him and asked, “Excuse me. But I…I?” He replied, “Do you know who u r?” “What?” she reacted? He laughed. “Forget it. So what’s u doing?” she looked at him confused and doubtfully. “Umm... Alright. Look im sorry I got to go dance with friends.” As she was leaving, he held her hand and asked. “…or u could just hang out here and dance with Me.” she did not know what happened to her. He was shorter to her and slightly fat; he wasn’t even a great dancer. But somehow she had one of the best times with him. She laughed a lot and it was like she had forgotten about everything else in the world.
It was time for her to leave now. She looked at her friends and looked at him. He jus smiled, kissed her hand lightly and gestured her to go. “I’ll see u around” he said. She left looking at him still confused. On the way back she realised she spend her night with someone whom she didn’t even know. She couldn’t stop smiling and was still wondering.
Many months passed by... She had forgotten about Vishesh and almost all her friends. Shar had many flings and dated many men But she never forgot that one night. Many a times she went to the same place but never saw him around. She got ready and walked on the road. The sun hit her face and reflected on her short curls that almost covering her face. She was trying to handle her files, books and heels as she walked briskly. As she was crossing the road she almost tripped over her heels near the foot path and a car screeched and stopped. She tried straightened her self. Someone from the car came to help. As she looked up she was bewildered. He jus looked at her and laughed. “Hey! Ru alright?” she looked at him with a smirk and said, “Do you know who ur?” they both laughed. He said, “I am Dheer by the way.” “I am Sharmishta.” As they walked near the foot path. He held her hand to so she wouldn’t trip again. She looked at him, “I don’t believe we’re meeting like this. I thought we would never meet… I… mean we should have… u know….” She was surprised at what she was saying. She saw he reflected what she felt all this time. Dheer replied, “U look very stunning urself, thanks” she jus looked at him, this time as if he was from outer space. “Ur crazy!” “So ru!!!Let’s go for coffee… no harm meant…” he said. She jus smiled and shook her head, “I’ll see u around” she shrugged and they both moved leaving light sounds of laughter behind.
