You see me

Veg Momos

I stopped my car at momos stall, asked her which one to order since I am veg today I will order veg for myself.
"I am veg today Kundri I will have the veg momos." She said sadly and I laughed.

"You also don't eat veg on Thursday? neither do I." I told her, we both shook our heads on this coincidence.
I ordered two plates while we waited in the car.

"Okay since we are waiting for food let's ask each other questions to get to know each other better." She said excitedly I didn't even asked why do we need to know each other better it's only 2 months since we met because I was curious to know about her I don't know anything about her personal life.

"Fine you ask first." I said and waited what she will ask me.

"Theek tm off day mai akelai jana chahogai ya you need company? She asked her first question.

"Ummm no I will prefer company if I can take someone so definitely I will go with them." I answered honestly.

"Tw friends, family ya girlfriend kai sath?" She added after my answer.

"See it depends upon the place I am going or where I want to go if the plans are set with friends or girlfriend hai meri tw doston Kai sath bhi wo jaiegi or family mai hai tw bhi I will want to take my girlfriend with me." I answered her. But in my previous relationship she never wanted to hang out with my friends or family she used to say she feel left out when we are there so I used to go without her.

"Okay now you ask." She said

"Let's see, acha tell me how was your college life because I think you were very popular among the students as here I have also noticed you are very popular everyone on the sets is like Teja Teja." I chuckled.

"Yes I was popular in college, my life there was exciting but extremely busy, I got my first show when I was 19 so I juggled all my college life with my shoot. I don't complain about it because I loved the whole experience it was challenging but nice. So I used to take part in college activities too like annual drama day or sports day planning parties etc. Students didn't wanted to be my friend they thought I am very arrogant and don't pay attention to what's going around me but the truth was I did but I just didn't had the time to react or do anything about it so I just ignored everybody and enjoyed my college years and my acting project." She explained proudly.

Impressed would be a small word because this girl is just perfectly amazing people don't know the real her and every day since I am getting to know her I get suprised every single time. Tejasswi is not arrogant she is just happy go child who only loves to spread happiness instead of doing gossip or discussing daily life issues.

"Now I will ask what was your first job and how much was the salary?" She asked

"My first salary was 3000 rupees I worked for my dad, I used to write letters for him and he used to pay me as he refused to give me pocket money he told me to work and get it so I did, believe me I learned alot." I told her.

It's incredible I think parents should give their children sense of money and motivation to earn it by themselves your parents are cool I already like them." She said smiling.

"Wait till you meet them." I said laughing.

It felt nice that she liked my parents and their ethics.

"Chlo answer this boyfriend or friends?" I asked, I myself don't know why I asked this question what answer am I even expecting? If she chooses boyfriend then I am not her boyfriend but her friend and if chooses friend then my mind will go like oh she will choose friends even if I am the boyfriend in future.

What's wrong with me what do I get from asking such faddu question, I think I need some sleep or food. Where is my food why is it taking so long? Jldi aja wrna mainai kuch or bikar sawal krna hai...

"I will choose boyfriend, I know you will find it funny but I want to spend my free time with my boyfriend all the time, I agree friends are important but people need to realize that after every day when you go back home you go without anyone but expect yourself so it gets lonely and friends can't fill that. I believe with the right person you can stay all you want with your friends but when you go home you know someone is waiting for you and because of this wholesome feeling I will choose boyfriend over friends anytime." She answered sincerely and I couldn't agree more because I hate going back to my house alone.

Our food arrived inside the car and we both looked at eachother thinking one same thing. "It's ok it's veg today."

I was truly enjoying my time with her all this felt surreal for some reason I think because I felt complete with her. Tejasswi doesn't have to do anything but she still does everything inside me that makes me happy I am not angry or irritated like I was before I met this weirdly beautiful person.

"So Karan what attracts you to act? She asked.

"Story attracts me like knowing it and retelling to the world so what's better way to deliver it than acting?" I said with a shrug

She smiled at me "Really? I never thought of that before I choose this career because I liked acting but your thoughts are so different and unique, it actually inspires me to work on my selection of script to provide the best story to the audience." She exclaimed excitingly.

"You are saying that you find my thoughts appealing? That I could actually love acting because I can convey stories! You don't find that absurd or stupid?" I asked consciously.

"What do you mean? It's amazing that you think this way there is nothing absurd or stupid about it! Why do you feel like I would think like that?" She asked taken back from what I just said.

"No please don't take it in the wrong way but I have shared this thought before as well to my friends and her but they all laughed and said for an actor it's all about acting and getting bigger projects theres nothing selecting work on the basis of stories." I told her and all the flashbacks came running in my mind when they used to laugh at my ideas and thoughts so after that day I never shared this with anyone untill today.

She took my hands and moved her fingers slowly instantly making me calm.

"You shouldn't think that way Karan because I it's beautiful and truly admirable to see someone so dedicated and honest with his work." She said softly and I looked in her eyes and I was gone it felt so good to finally hear that I was not stupid when I thought I prefer good stories over big money projects.

I liked her hand in mine I wish I could just stop time and stay like this forever so I could hold like this and have my heart at peace.

For the first time I think I have started to believe that whatever has been said about me in the past is not true I am a decent guy who respects his work and women. I think I am a good boy like Tejasswi says I am.

She is changing me or she is just bringing the best out of me, she believed I was the gentleman when the whole world took me as a Casanova who uses girls worst part is I believed the world too but now whatever is happening around me the way I am feeling I about myself and specially the way I am seeing myself I can proudly say I a good person and I still believe what the world is saying about me but my world definition has changed my world is Tejasswi.

We finished our food and I drove to her place. I parked outside her house, it was small cute she told me she lives alone her parents had gone to their place after Tejasswi got settled her since then she's living there alone.

I was waiting for her to get down and see her go inside safely but she turned to me and looked at me with softest gaze.
"Karan I don't know how you feel after her leaving you but what I saw today I can say I officially hate your ex girlfriend but at the same time I pity her that she lost you because I guess she has no idea what she has lost." She softly said she came fowards and she kissed my cheeks.

Till the time I could process what had happened, she was out of the car.
I looked at her she was opening her gate and later she waved her hand saying bye and went in.

Why did it just felt she touched my soul? By just a simple kiss of the cheeks? Does Tejasswi by any means know black magic?

I wish I could just call her mine I wish I could just have her and never leave her, for once I want someone who I can call mine forever I guess what my heart is trying to tell you Mr Kundrra have found "the one."
