The Serendipity - Chapter 6


I left office early that day ! My curiosity was at level N.
On my way back home , I kept looking at Pitara's (yeah , the restaurant was near my house) ,with an expectation to catch a glimpse of the person who was going to be my table-partner for the evening ! More than that, there was "chicken" mentioned in that note and Pitara's had the best Indian chicken dishes. A big smile curved up on my face , and I ran upstairs to my flat.
At sharp 8 pm, I came down in my daily pajamas, no makeup and my Indian chappals ; I literally looked so bad that I even feared facing the mirror.

I was in no intention of being laid around by the handsome guy ( if any) .
I went up to Pitara's , asked for my table and the receptionist showed me Table no -12. I was shocked, 'cause that was only table at the corner, near the windows where I sat whenever I was at Pitara's.

My first thought - So somebody has been stalking me since I don't know when?!

I was still calculating my thoughts , and then the waiter came up with a hot-n-sour chicken soup, a Rann-Charcoal and honey chicken strips! I couldn't believe my eyes! How could someone,  who I didn't really know, order all my favorites. Daksh was the only one whom I had known properly and who knew about all these, since I came to the US ; A voice inside me whispered :
" May be it's Daksh or may be not! "

I just settled with the thought that May be Daksh was trying to surprise. I couldn't say no to chicken, it was so tempting. I finished my dinner and still waited for the one ,who I thought was Daksh! It was already 9:30 and I stood up to leave. I liked to be in my room early so that I could spend some Me-time. 

Just then the chef came up with a complimentary vanilla ice-cream scoop! It was definitely someone who knew me well !
I asked for the bills, but the waiter said , it had been prepaid !
I stood there perplexed, but then something struck my mind. I called the chef and asked for who had asked him to do all these , and the chef's answer pulled me down into more complexities!
He said, he did all these on the request of a lady ! I had . . .definitely . . .not expected. . . A lady !
While leaving , the receptionist again presented me with a bouquet of chocolates and a blank note which had a date and time mentioned in one side -
                                                    12th April, 7:21 pm 

 She said ,it had my name on it and somebody had left it on the desk !

I could no longer take it, who was She!

Sometimes , all you can do is bank on your predestination and be the toys of the games it plays with you ; Neither can you change it, nor can you stop it! It comes loaded with the ultimate rights to transpire and hence, demands to be endured !

That Brunch! - Chapter 5

Every morning would start with a message from my mommy even though there was a time gap of 10 hours between the US and India. See, Mothers! I always stayed connected to my Mom ; she was the only One I had in this big world ! Though I still anticipated of how he would be walking around , in some part of the world, still his hands in his pocket, brooding over his last night's mischief( he always did)! The world is too small, in terms of the brims of your inferences ; you never know that there may be someone else too ,in the other side, having the same sense of Realization as that of you.But yeah, fate is too monopolizing - it doesn't let you push those brinks and move to that other side ,till you deserve it . That day Daksh didn't come for Lunch, I waited and called him up , but his number was unreachable. So I decided to dine with my  mom  on the Call. I was just about to finish and go back to work when a small girl came up to me with a Note and a bouquet of ch...

My new place - Chapter 3

I clicked a lot of pics of the new apartment I had rented, which faced a beautiful garden.The US was cool; not only in terms of the weather, but also in terms of type people residing there- Everyone, known or unknown, would greet you with a smile ! I sent all the pictures to mom,and my mom just asked me one thing , "They have a kitchen,right? Cook yourself.Don't eat outside." I cleaned up the rooms and furnitures  and was just making myself comfortable on bed, when someone rang the doorbell. It was my landlord. I was dumbstruck when I saw a teen of my age standing at the door. "Hello , I am your landlord.Daksh." "Hi!Please come in." I wouldn't lie but I had expected some old aged man. "I am pretty sure that Jasper would have already briefed you about the rent structure and the regulations." Jasper was the one who had showed me the house. "I would just like to add that, you can always reach out to me for any concerns,esp...
