How sweet I
wonder!!!!! Adorable scene, Picture
Perfect …. Something about a man playing around with a small kid, he had
the same spark in his eyes as the kid, and if the man you witness is
ridiculously handsome it kills you with happiness. Extremely involved in coming
up with some interesting games to keep the kid glued to the seat and happy.
It took me some time to comprehend such a sight of sweet,
loving relationship between dad & son. Don’t see much of it these
days. I was alone and waiting for my
friend. Boy was I pissed or what, hate waiting!!!! Who likes it anyway? As I walked towards a coffee shop mentally
abusing my good old friend, where are you…. You kind of become very sympathetic
towards your situation when you find yourself waiting in the late evening , loneliness
just doesn’t frustrates you but also scares you.
I was all set with gathered abuses and pity plight of mine
to tell my friend “Do you know how it feels to be alone” (you ought to exaggerate
thoughts in mind when alone). I came across this cute kid playing with his dad.
And BOY!!! The dad carried his strikingly dusky tone good looks remarkably well,
pierced eyebrow, beige corduroy pant, crisp chequered not so formal shirt. He
had this spunk in his attitude; his hairdo had not so recent style but
definitely impressive edge in his overall personality. And of course my eyes
revolved around the dad than the innocent kid.
I sat right across their table. My phone popped a
notification “LOW BATTERY” 14% of Battery Remaining. And I had to call or text
my friend judiciously. Just then Coffee shop attendant marches towards me
asking what I would like to order, moment I say what, he corrects me saying
“Self Service Mam”. I thought in my mind why did you bother to ask???(for all
obvious reasons I was kind of upset )
So I walked to the counter,
- Female Attendant at the counter: What would like to have mam?
- Me: Cappuccino
- Female Attendant at the counter: 77 Rs mam
- I gave her only 100rs I had in my purse, she looked painfully disappointed with this.
- Female Attendant at the counter: Do you have 7rs change mam
- Me: I said NO, She was visibly not satisfied, or happy with my reply. She observed my purse as I was closing it. I had to literally open and prove it to her I really don’t have woman!!!!
Just then breath of fresh air, very pleasant, scintillating
wind brushed me aside. There he is next to me totally unaware of my gawking at
him. He says 1 Donut and …. Sigh…. I lost track of what he spoke afterwards…
Hazy sight, blur image and I subconsciously collapsed by his
cologne he wore. There is always something about enchanting men cologne which
defines men sense of style & personality, which takes away breath of a
woman.
I see the female attendant at the counter all focused on
what he has to say, I thought in my mind … I understand girl I really do!!!!
Well, Now I am back at my seat and I saw my almost dying
phone and I quietly sigh away the apparent. I assumed he is married and keeping
his kid busy whiles his mom shop. I wondered how thoughtful is that? Does men
like him are made in lots somewhere? If so my next vacation destination!
He suddenly surprises me by turning his chair to the side so
that he gets a glimpse of that one person who is been stalking him for some
time now. I felt terribly embarrassed and I cursed myself for being so obvious
(when you are alone few things have all your attention). Then I gazed the sky
lost in my contemplations, is he single father because he looks so young and
superlatively physically fit. What must have gone wrong? Which woman would
possibly have “right “reasons to let this man slip away? Well… We all have
“only right” reasons to let go things.
To my shock now he began staring at me, he almost turned his
chair towards me that gave me sudden chills through my spine. I hurriedly rang
my friend, phone is still switched off!! Damn!!!! I need you…In trouble!!!
But he definitely do
not look like one of “those” guys, for god’s sakes he has kid along he should
be the nicest person on this planet right now.
Now he almost began to converse with me through gestures, body language
and eyes. It felt he needed a friend too, waiting for someone. Someone he can
talk to for hours, share his sob stories, longed for some love. By this time I
practically decided & confirmed he is single father.
He almost looked annoyed that his son is interrupting his
concentration, and disturbing his body language which sent me few messages that
he is interested to have a “conversation”. I felt bad for that kid who wanted
his attention. He demanded for another big chocolate donut & the super dad
sweetly advised him not any more….
Just then… Rinnggggg
goes my phone. Hey I am sorry, where are you now, I was caught up. Phone went
to flight mode accidently never realized until now. My friend seemed more
terrified than I was sometime back.
And I surprisingly replied calmly its ok I am right here, just
waited for you 45 minutes.
He was extremely sorry to put me in this situation. And I
astonishingly did not find it a problem!!! Guess he was more shocked to find me
calm!!!! He said I will be there in two minutes.
It’s just 2 minutes now, should I just go and tell him, I
admire the way he handles his son. Share hellos and talk about that & this.
By this time he did look all uncomfortable just sitting and gazing, saw a
streak of eagerness to just get up and walk up, to strike a conversation. I
chickened out with this observation of mine. The very thought of striking a
conversation with some stranger father made me lose all the woman power I had
few minutes ago.
I got a call from my friend saying he is here and I abruptly
got up from my seat and I hurried out of the coffee shop. Did not even look
back to see his reaction.
While I was walking towards my friend it occurred to me what
if the man is actually single and was just playing with his sister’s kid!!!!
Guess it was too late. I am in the car and smiled at my friend, He was relieved
to see I am beaming and not upset!!!!! Well.. I had my own reason to feel foolish,
stupid yet happy now.
Feeling silly on my thinking that he was single father, I
took some trouble to look outside my car and did not spot him there. Where did
he disappear so soon!!!! Just like that …Poof!! Vanish! Was he disappointed to
see me go & he left, or his wife came they all left together like a happy
family. I was rather disappointed to know that wife is surely lucky to be with
most contented, happy, simple man I came across in recent times.
Men are surprise packages they bewilder you with fantastic
love & crazy expectations!!!!
Life is full of short span happiness!!!!!
