"What would you like to have sir?" The waiter asked.
ahh... Actually i am waiting for someone special to come " i replied.
ok sure sir he nodded.
I looked into my watch, it was already 30 minutes past 4 pm. I picked up my phone and made a call , phone ringed but no answer came from the other side.
She might be driving and traffic would be responsible for the delay, I thought .
Then there was no other way so i thought to wailt again. I constantly kept looking at the clock hanging on the front wall , and my God today it was at it's slowest ever. Damn the hell each minute of waiting just felt like an hour . meanwhile i thought of browsing facebook to pass my time .I scrolled it for few minutes but it too didn't succour at all . Again i looked at the time curiously . it was 5:30 by now, ohh God One and half hour has passed by, but she still has not reached yet . I just got worried with nonsense question swirling in my mind. why is she so late ?
Is she alright? I calmed down myself and called her again but this time too she didn't respond . I got more petrified and just called her friend to enquire about her .
Hello Preety .
" Hey Anshuman ! how are you ? , and how is your date going on" she asked with a goose.
Preety i called you to to know about shikha only , she isin't here still . when did she left for here from hostel ?
"what she hasn't reached yet?" she exclaimed.
No i am still waiting.
She should have reached hours earlier, humm might be she busy buying some love presents for you " she giggled saying.
Ok Preety thank you .
I hung up the phone and just heard a fascinating voice behind.
"Hey baby i am extreamely sorry , i know i am too late" said shikha.
I just made an angry face and turned my face away.
Sorry baba it was messy traffic today which made me late.
I turned my gaze to her and there she stood catching her ears , with an innocent face so adorable.
i smiled nodding my head and pulled the chair for her.
"Don't repeat this again , you know i am waiting here for two hour ten minutes and 32 seconds " i said looking into my watch .
"Ok baba " she said.
I called the waiter.
yes sir what will you have ?
Ahh.... A capachino for me without sugar , and a cold cofee with chocalate and icecream.
Two cups of order sir? waiter asked surprisingly.
Of course two . i said
By the way you look stunning gorgeous in this white kurti today" i said to shikha.
"Thank you dear". she said.
No thanks accepted i am still angry with you , you just kept me waiting for hours here in this cafe alone.
Sorry baba never again. i promise you after now, whenever you remember me i will appear to you.
Whenever i remember you ! Ohh you got some magical powers or what ? and sure whenever ! ? I asked with a naughty cunning smile teasing her.
She held my hand looked into my eyes desperately and said , yes my dear whenever you remember me .
She gripped my hand with both of her hands and said in a low voice -- Anshuman ! .
" yess shikha !" I said.
Anshuman i love you so much dear so much .
I could sense the abnormality in her behaviour , she was getting emotional . is everything alright shikha " i asked in distress.
She gasped a breath and nodded her head saying yes followed with a smile. then she said keep smililng dear forever in life and your smile will keep me happy too .
what happened my dear is anything bothering you , are you in any trouble and why are you talking in such way . I haven't found you talking this way before " i asked shikha .
"Your cofee sir " meanwhile the wiater interrupted us with the order.
He kept cups over the table both to my side. i just passed the cold cofee to other side . To my surprise shikha wasn"t there
Where has she gone ? i asked waiter.
Who sir ?
The lady who was sitting here now .
Which lady sir?
Areey a lady in white kurti who was sitting next to me .
I didn't saw anyone here sir " waiter replied.
I then asked the boy sitting next to our table, have not you seen her here?
No bheeya " he replied.
Whom are you talking about sir . you are sitting here for hours alone . " the waiter said.
What the bullshit are you talking . " i said .
I looked around people over there glancing me in wonder.
Meanwhile my phone buzzed .
I picked up the call ; it was Preety .
"Yes Preety " I said .
She was sobbing so badly . what happened Preety ?" I asked anxiously.
" Anshuman.... Shikha just meet with an accident , she is no more". As she said and started howling .
Her words felt like the rug swept out beneath my feet , and there i stood uncouncious, tears welled up my eyes .
I just couldn't control myself , i wished that it was just a nightmare , but it wasn't.
The flash back of our memories which we held together began screening in my eyes . But the memories got washed away along with tears rolling down my cheeks.
The thought of her loss desolated me again .i just couldn't imagine my life without her.
And now i could see shikha again on the chair , signing me not to let tears roll down my cheeks and to smile .
She came closer wiped out my tears and whispered "always keep smiling my love , i am always there with you and yeah you don't look good when you cry " she grined saying and said " Nothing can apart us my love ".
I tried hugging her but the attempt went futile . She then started ambulating backwards, i wish i could hold her back to me forever but it was wayward my reach .
She stopped glared me with deep tenderness for a while .
And there she vanished smiling along with sparkling light.
