I did not meet someone...

to where the mind roams free ......the voice had a charm that inadvertently had my head tilting...distracting me from the conversation which even at its birth was destined for an anonymous existence and premature death.....the muffled burst of words conveyed the elation ...a smirk .......a jest .......a challenge .......provocative intent underlying the rippling sound of laughter filtering across the room pushing at every eardrum to trigger a response in the nerves leading to left side of the cortex.....a grimace escaped the fairer sex in our group yet she continued on about how the bullish trends were expected to rule the market ...unfortunately i was not there anymore.... i vanished...... sublimation personified......the glitter of a diamond in a red earlobe concealed exposed hidden reborn ... a game... a series.... a sequence not yet defined by the mathematicians of fibonacci fame... her face hidden momentarily by the cumulo nimbus black threatening curls ...it was going to rain today....the breeze had the smell of first drops on parched land "Saundhi Saundhi Khushboo"..the white acrylic nails flashed like lightening as the ivory hand stroked an erring strand back into the dark congregation ....and just as it had eveolved almost magically the skies cleared ...the forehead prominent sliding into a pair of eyes which held a world within..the eyelashes enclosing the Kohinoors added a calmness a serenity a tranquility to the fire emanating from within ... i stood drenched by the incessant downpour floundering for words from a self proclaimed repertoire as i saw her walk past me......her frame swaying effortlessly....She walks in beauty...... a smile broke thru my lips as i stood reflecting upon the effect a woman had on me .....shameless...ridiculous..insane....word synonymous with my name that moment... i turned abruptly as if fleeing from a self confessed crime only to come face to face with the instigator.......its was time to shiver n dance in the rain ,there was no shelter in sight n i was looking for none.....

An hour later i was still with her n from a distance was still the cynosure of all eyes...we parted with a smile.... a brief embrace ....a hug non consequential otherwise but for the slandering eyes upon us.....i made my way alone towards the Patio thanking the hosts a true act of gratitude

...."i hope u enjoyed " the hostess beamed knowing it was one of those enquiries which had only one answer as always...."did u meet someone interesting?"......

Sometimes when opposites attract they do so till brought close together and yet once close enough the repulsion begins even as the distance decreases further....and further...the closer u get the more affirmed you stand that this was not meant to be...there is no feeling of hopelessness, no pangs of dejection ,no regretfulness...replaced within u is an aura of Positivity that both just met coz we had to meet there was no more to it than it was and will remain where we left it .....anonymous now n forever only to fade into memory...just like the conversation i had left for her

"Yes" i replied, "i did not meet someone" ............
