Being jobless, Mayank didn’t want to marry this soon, but he
couldn’t convince his ‘what-will-the-society-think’ mom! Dejected, he walked
the streets until the sun went down and the night seeped out.
He saw a beautiful girl in pink chudidaar approaching him. He
stared in wonder, ‘How can anyone be so beautiful?’ Her beauty bowled him over!
‘Hi, may I know from where do we get a cab for Tardeo? I am
new in Mumbai,’ she asked innocently.
‘Ah, well what a coincidence! I am going to Tardeo too. We
can manage a single cab. It’s already too late.’
**************
5 years later.
Shivani asked Mayank if he remembered how they first met. ‘Ofcourse!
Your deep black eyes and your smile gave me a new hope. My first thought
was I must have her,’ he said, taking hold of her hand.
‘Who’d have thought that the stunning lady I shared my cab with,
was the one my mom had already arranged for me?!’ he winked!
‘It turned out so right, strangers in the night, two lonely people who just exchanged
glances then, share love today! The STRANGER whom I can't forget - lives with me today!’ she said.
