The wait and the hope!

I saw her in cafe coffee day that day. She was wearing a black dress and had a bouquet full of red roses in her hand. Wearing a crown she was laughing with her friends and I was sitting just opposite to her. That was the day when I betrayed my chocolate truffle cake which used to be my new love.
That sight of her made me so mesmerized that I forgot my coffee was hot not a cold one and I burnt my tongue sipping it.
I was a very simple guy, not too hot, not too handsome. The only accessory I used to wear was my 2.5 power spectacles for my myopic eyes.
The first time I got attracted to someone was my 6th grade science teacher but I realised it very soon that she is not the one. She couldn't be actually. 😜
Then I met a girl in 8th standard. I felt something new, something fresh in me, something that I experienced for the very first time in my life. Maybe, love! One day I gathered all my courage and sat behind her. Luckily, I forgot to bring my lunch that day and got a reason to talk to her. Yes, we shared lunch. And that was the beginning of my first love!
It took 2 years, we became best of friends, and I proposed her. It went quite well. We felt connected to each other and she said yes! All night chatting, staring at each other in the class, finding reasons to bunk the classes, everything was started and we were loving it.
2 years later, her family got to know about us. All the feelings that we gathered together for each other took 4 long years and got shattered in just 1 single day.
We were denied talking to each other, meeting each other. It was not a good time for both of us. There was no other option left for us but to wait. Wait and hope for the best.
We had been waiting since 3 years. 3 long years. Not talking to each other, hoping to meet some day and falling in love with each other all over again. Who could have thought that the wait will get over in a cafe coffee day on her birthday when I was celebrating it for the 3rd time without her. Who could have thought that God will give me a gift on her birthday. Yes, yes the girl in black dress was none other than, my first love! It took just few more seconds for her to notice my already wet eyes. Expectedly, I should have screamed, or cried hard, or should have done anything in that excitement. But unexpectedly, I just looked out of the window, up in the sky, and just shared a smile with a feeling of satisfaction with God, who, I felt, too smiled back at me and said, "the wait is finally over"! 😊
