I just...fell for her...!! (part 6)

'That was a nice song,' she smiled, 'simple but still touching. How come I never heard this song?'
'Well, simple things often go unnoticed among the worldly glitter,' I snapped.
'I agree,' she said with guilt in her voice and her hand up.
'Can you play it again?' she requested.
'I can do that all my life,' I said below my breath.
It started again and the magic was recreated again. She soaked herself in each word of it and I with every sight of her!
'I just can't get enough of it,' she said.
'I understand,' I played the song again.


'I want to walk,' she announced after sometime.
'Can I join?'
'Obviously!' she smiled.
We walked for sometime without uttering a single word, just exchanged glances whenever the water touched our feet. And whenever it happened, her expressions were priceless - her glistening eyes, innocent smile and her sweet short squeal.
She looked at me deeply and smiled. 'Thank you,' she said after a long silence.
'For?'
'I always wanted to come here at this time; but never had the guts to come down alone.' My question was still unanswered. 'I saw you walking down the road at around 10 and so had a chance of coming over here. Its better to be with the known stranger than being alone,' she added with a smile.
'Be with a known stranger than being alone,' I repeated.
'We are friends now, I hope.'
Why is God being so kind to me? I thought Why is everything falling in place for me?
Less than a month ago, I just had a picture of her to look at, but now I almost spent a night in her company; she calls me her friend. I wouldn't be surprised if I go insane.

                                                       
'What?' she called.
'Huh?'
'What are you thinking?'
'Life can be so surprising sometimes.'
'Yeah. I prefer the word mysterious, though,' she slowed down, 'Our decisions would've been better if life was predictable. If we knew what's in store for us.'
'Well I like it this way. Sometimes we should just let our fate play its game,' I recollected Karthik's words.
'You wouldn't be thinking that if you were in my place,' she said, her voice dripped in pain.
I stopped walking and for the first time stood infront of her and looked straight into her eyes, 'What is it?'
'Nothing,' she hung her face.
'Its about your relationship, isn't it?'
'I think, I rushed into a relationship with him; we were good friends and so presumed I would be happy with him. But...' she stopped midway and turned her face towards the sea.
I held her face and turned it back towards me. The moment I touched her face, I felt like a petal like softness and feared harming it. 'I won't push you, but want to tell you one thing- everyone wants to be happy, and in their pursuit they make some mistakes. There's no wrong in it. You always have a second chance!'
She looked at me, moved a bit closer to my face, but went back suddenly.
For a moment I thought she would kiss me, she instead nodded and smiled.
We sat there again looking at the sea and listening to the songs. 'Whoa, your playlist is full of slow romantic songs,' she remarked.
'I like such songs,' I said which earned a look of her peaked brows.
'What?' I asked. She shook her head innocently.

'WOW!' she exclaimed.
I felt a sudden gush of excitement in my heart at the sight of huge fireball peeping out from the sea, emitting rays which reflected on the surface of the sea, turning it into a blanket of sparks.
'Its so beautiful!' she was thrilled.
But sadness creeped into my heart that the time I had with her was up.
'So, you guys leaving today?' I asked.
'Yeah, today evening.' She looked at me differently. Didn't she want to go? I thought.
 I could hardly smile when she baded me good bye.
'Thanks for everything. Had the best time of my life,' she said before leaving.
I watched her till she was out of my sight, afraid that she might just walk out of my life!!
