BLACK MAGIC
Was standing on the metro station, all stressed; and with
shameful defeat. How the hell it
happened? I was too sure about the deal. How it was snapped just beneath my
nose? Gross!!!.
“Hey! Priyansh.”
I turned around, “Hey!”
He leaned to hug me, but I extend my hand. It doesn’t matter
however; he held my hand and dragged me to hug. “How was it buddy?”
“How it look like?”
“Oh! I’m sorry. But we all were sure about it.” He judged my
condition, my face.
“Hmm…”
“Next time buddy. It happens. Let’s have a coffee?” he tried
to distract me.
“No. Actually my train is about to arrive. And frankly
speaking, I want to be alone.” I excused.
“No. no. no….. You’ll stand here and I’ll get coffee for
both and we will catch next train. Got it?”
I looked here and there making noises to rescue.
“Got it?” he confirmed again.
”Look, Amit….. Understand please….”
”I’ll be here in a minute….” He avoided me and ran towards coffee shop not so
far.
Why people don’t left
you alone when you are dying to be alone. And they never are with you when you
expect them.
Train arrived. I saw Amit was ignorant about that; he was
much busy in talking to shopkeeper. I was in dilemma. My friendship and my
selfishness were on war. And as usual history repeated, selfishness won and I ran
and hoped in.
Gates got closed as I hoped in. I saw Amit was standing
outside on platform with coffee in both hands and expressions ‘How can you do
this?’
I mimic SORRY. I could see him leaving behind rolling his
eyes. I hoped he will understand me; he always did, this time too.
I searched for an empty space to fit myself. I stood away
from the gate holding a pole and ready to go on a voyage of memories. But
before I could do that I heard a chime. I turned my head to right. A girl was
searching for something in her side bag and the thing that was chiming was her
bracelet; a chain with black shining beads hanging from it. Her hairs were
covering her face. Black hairs blended with reddish shade giving healthy
shining were acting as curtains to some precious thing. She was carrying
herself so delicately and confidently that was so influenceable. She was
holding pole by putting her left hand in bag with enclosing around it and
holding bag with other hand. It was black medium sized leather bag with so many
silver chains and big chain things. She found it, whatever she was searching
for in her bag.
MOBILE? How can she put her mobile like that? In a
bag? And searching like a treasure hunt. May be she is just passing her time.
Whatever, why do I care?
But I cared. She was too enchanting to do such dumb things.
I was attracted to her and started bounding in her unspoken spell. I hadn’t
seen her face yet, but she was still so beautiful. She was wearing black frock
type dress up to knees. I seriously don’t
know what to call it, its girls stuff, how do I know? Her dress was having
net fabric and little bit puffed up. Her not so long slender body was fitting
it well and getting her a look like angel.
Angel in black? Angel
is angel, colors never matter this.
She dialed on her mobile and put it on her right ear.
Meanwhile she jerked her head to left, tried to keep her hairs on her back. But
she failed. And I was thankful that she failed. She raised her left hand and
shoved her flicks behind the ear.
Holy crap!
She was stunning and I was numb. She suddenly turned her face to me. I
could see her black eyes with black shades and mixed expressions of fear and
anger. She was glaring at me. She hanged up the phone. Then I realized that I
was staring her with mouth open. I lowered my face in disgrace. But I really want to see her. Her eyes. Her
face. I want to read all expressions she ever made.
I really wanted to stare her, and I could stare her for
whole rest of my life. I gained all my courage and raised my head to see her.
Where she gone?
Disappeared? Was she true? Or just a mirage?
I tried to search her, watching here and there, but all I
got was nothing.
Suddenly I caught a glimpse of her. She stepped out of the
trained and so I. And again I lost her. I
stood there and scanned all directions, if I could see anything black. But then
I realized, I stepped out one station before. I sighed.
Hell day. I was for
sure dreaming.
I turned to move out and to get a taxi. She was there.
Folded her hands and looking at me. I was again numb.
“Are you following me? I noticed you back there in train,
you were staring me. Why so?” she snapped at me. And before I could say
anything she pointed her finger towards my face and babbled, “Don’t dare to do
it again. I’m warning you if I see you again anywhere around me intentionally
or unintentionally doesn’t matter, I’ll let put you behind bar.”
And again before I could open my mouth, she turned and
walked away. I could see her going away that girl in black dress with reddish
black hair waving on her back, a black leather bag on her side and a hand with bracelet
resting on it, and another was busy in adjusting flicks. She walked away with
fading tap of her black heels. She is
really gorgeous. I was looking at her like a dumb and so people at me. I
came to senses and ran after her but she disappeared in crowd. And I got hit by
someone, I said sorry and moved on. But the person grabbed my hand.
“Hey! Hey! Dude.”
I turned. He was Amit. “I ran here to catch you and you are
running too. Sure not for me. By the way what are you doing at one station
before?”
“What are you doing here?” I cross questioned him.
“I bribed the cab driver to catch train from here.” He
smiled. “What about you, what make you running here in nowhere?”
I chuckled, “BLACK
MAGIC.”
P.S.- I love this wallpaper too much..... Her expressions.... amaze me.... Its my lappy's wallpaper which stayed for such a long time :P :)
