February 14, Saturday.
Another Valentine's Day with same old fate, I thought. It was a sunny morning with clear blue sky. Got up from the bed and checked my mails. Nothing new. Spent the morning and afternoon working on the project.
The evening looked blissful with the sun setting in an orange sky. Felt like going out and grabbing some coffee. We had this wonderful cafe, just a few mins. walk from the campus. It had an amazing ambience with the right kind of music. Rates were a bit on the higher side, but given the crowd and ambience, it was definitely worth. I used to go there whenever I had an urge for coffee, which was more often than going to college.
That evening was no different. I ordered my favourite Coffee Float and took the corner seat, which was kind of reserved for me. It was a secluded place which used to give me a proper view of the cafe. I was sipping my coffee when someone called out my name.
"Can I sit here ?", Puja asked.
How can one refuse such a sweet girl.
"So, no girlfriends..eh ??"
"No, you don't seem to have a boyfriend either." And both burst out laughing.
"How come I've never seen you here ?"
"I've been here just a few times. Was feeling bored today, so came out. Hey, what are you doing tomorrow ?"
"Not much, tell me"
"Movies ? And then lunch ? My treat. What say ?"
"Sounds great."
"Good. Pick me up at 9.30 ?"
"Sure." :-)
...
Not a cliche valentine's, though, one of the best, I thought.
