Awkwardly getting up Prem had a sheepish grin on his face.
While scratching the back of his head he said, ‘hey there! So we meet again.’
‘Yea, I’m so sorry for slamming into you. I wasn't
concentrating on the road.’ Laila said looking guilty.
‘That’s OK, I wasn't any better at the concentrating part.’
Prem said grinning like an idiot. He couldn't believe that Laila was standing
right in front of him. He was in a state of surprise and didn't know what more
to say. He continued standing there like an idiot grinning away to glory. Laila
too was in a similar state. She felt warm around Prem. She couldn't describe
the feeling, Prem made her feel safe and secure. She forgot all her problems
around him. But at the same time he made her feel restless.
‘OK then, I’ll see you around’ said Laila as she walked away.
Realizing that he was going to lose her again, Prem shouted,
‘WAIT!’
Though Laila stopped other people walking around them in the
market place to stopped giving him weird looks. Again embarrassed in front of
her he was starting to feel like the biggest fool born on earth.
Laila didn't want to leave. She didn't want to walk away. But
Prem wasn't saying anything so she thought its best she walks away. All the
while she hoped that he would stop her. Her prayers were answered when she
heard the loud wait from his mouth. When she turned around she forgot her surroundings.
She forgot the people around her. All she could see and focus on was this
vulnerable and adorable guy standing in front of her. He was actually blushing.
All she could do was just gaze at him and admire his perfection.
Prem had to some damage control! First the love of his life
finds him crying and then he embarrasses himself twice in front of her! He just
had to do something to make things right. So when Laila asked him, “Yes Prem? Is
there something you want to tell me?’ without thinking he said, ‘Yes, indeed
there is Laila. I know this will sound weird as we have barely met each other
two times in just a day. But I must ask you this! Do you believe in soul mates
Laila?
