Trivial yet Memorable

TGIF! I was looking forward to a relaxed evening. Rain made the weather awesome. My day was hectic with work, Uni and meetings. I went to the city to catch up with a friend.

The weather could not get any better. The journey in train seemed quicker. I stopped at some stations of memories where the train did not halt in ages. I remembered a few people about whom I had almost forgotten in my day to day life. A couple of incidents which remained untouched where refreshed. Coupled with a few sms's and phone calls, the journey was still on. "Don't get late, I hate waiting!" This flashed my mind and I was startled. I told my friend to get there early, the reason very obvious. I do not like to wait irrespective of the place or people. I got off and walked towards the meeting point.

The deal was to catch up and indulge sinfully (as I call it), at the most popular chocolate palace. The place was a hodgepodge of rain and chocolate. We met and started talking. I wanted a chocolate frappe. Not that I really wanted it but I wanted to avoid the belgian waffles with heaps of chocolate. We spoke and ordered. My friend got busy for a moment in something, I guess it was cricket. (I cannot remember it now!) My other friend had an exam that evening. He called me to know what I was doing. I asked him to join us. Three of us, spoke and spoke.

The isle was full of chocolate lovers. I was facing these guys and talking to them. I realized some one trying to gain my attention. I simply ignored. I sipped my frappe and continued listening to the conversation. It was about a person whom we knew. I nodded and asked a question. I lost track of the conversation after a few minutes. It was not boring, but I was preoccupied with something else at that moment.

I noticed the person sitting opposite to me. He was one among the six-seven persons dressed professionally. I presumed that was an office group. I noticed a guy staring at me. I looked too. There was a nice handsome chap in a black suit, white shirt inside and cufflings but I continued talking. I got caught in those eyes for a moment.

My talking made no sense gradually. That sentence was a roller coaster of words. He stared again and knew that I got caught. There was hide and seek of eyes for a few moments. I continued drinking the frappe and talked. He walked away after some time looking at me. I did not.
