He caught her from the corner of his eye, the same childlike giggle, the same nervous flicking back of her hair and the same indifference she sported while her friend kept an eye on him for her. He thought, for the hundredth time tonight, just like for the past 100 nights about going over and asking her out. But probably there would be a more perfect time a more perfect setting for speaking to THE ONE and he let the moment go away. Next evening he heard about the accident. And in his life’s greatest tragedy all he could think about was the moment he had held and then let slip through his fingers taking away her life along with his.
They walked away to the two ends of a bridge which would soon be swept away by a tide of tears. While people died fighting for a cause he had always thought she was one cause worth living for. He had never imagined it would ever come to this but mebbe this was the way it was meant to be. As he walked away from her he imagined a life that didn’t have her, and he knew that he wanted her back more than anything. But all bridges had been swept away. It didn’t matter to him anymore though, Love will always find a way or so she used to say.
It had been a long day but as he ate lone at the restaurant he couldn’t help but notice her as she eyed him apparently from behind from her bowl of ice cream. Something about her was different as she shone bright on her table all alone. He didn’t know why but he walked up to her table and asked her if the seat next to hers was taken.
It’s a free world you can sit wherever you want.
I couldn’t help but notice you smiling at me
That’s because you are wearing 2 different colored socks
Hmm its part of my Friday dressing and by the way you have ice cream all over your nose
It goes with my new top you see
They laughed for a long while after that……… and they lived happily ever after.

Can i use the last sequence for one of my movies? :p..i will cast you in the villain role.
I have been wrong, on previous occasions, about twinkling eyes of gals. Those twinkling eyes made me walk up to her and ask her out. She corrected my view. From then on, if i see one of those twinkling things i kind of assume that they are either meant for something. May be she remembers some joke and is smiling about that :p. Just to save some myself some trouble and embarrassments :-)
:)) sweet and funny and yet not chick flickish :)
When I began writing this blog I had only meant to pen down the first story as an attempted short but I eventually ended doing up the 3 sides of the Love Story (sad ending, happy ending and the one with redemption). Seems like the last one has caught ppl's attention though.
@Totti Only if I also triple up as the hero and his best friend along with playing the villan (a la Anniyan). Btw u didnt do such a bad job of the sad ending version of the Love Story in ur comments post.
@Sagnik Glad u liked the post. Abt the not the chick flickish thing I guess it was coz of a conscious attempt to get just the guy's perspective on the 3 stories.
what was the flavor of the ice-cream?
