Gulabi Hain Sab Kuch ..

(What a way to start the morning)

(Aaliya and I, she enjoying thetea and me relishing looking at her)

(If every morning could be like this)

“So, what the plan for the day – HR”

‘I don’t know, you tell me – Aaliya”

“Do you really want to go visit the temple and all – Aaliya”

<Coz I don’t, I just want to sit in some nice restaurant, drink a bit and talk to you>

<To understand you>

<To know what’s going in that little cramped mind of yours>

<Maybe coz even I have started liking you>

<It’s been just over 24 hours and looks like we have spend 24 days or maybe more>

“What are u planning ?? – HR”

“Well nothing much, just that we have been travelling all day ystd so was thinking of relaxing in some good 

restaurant – Aaliya”

“Unless u want to go ahead and visit all the temple and enjoy the Chappan Bhog at the temple – Aaliya”

“Well I am not a big bhakt myself and your plan does sound good, maybe we can go to the temple in the evening – HR”

“What say ?? – HR”

“I am game, ok chalo I will get ready – Aaliya”

(Ok, I need to smoke now)

(If only I had got a bowl of weed with me, coz only that would hold my nerves)

(What is she thinking ??)

(Now I am starting to getting worried)

(Let me light a smoke before she comes, else she will start with the lecture again)

“U started smoking again ??? – Aaliya”

“How come u got ready so jaldi  - HR”

“I didn't, I came to change the clothes I was going to wear – Aaliya”

“Don’t smoke so much, its harmful – Aaliya”

“Ok – HR”

<Why does he smoke so much>

<Is he having some anxiety disorders??>

<I need to ask him this>

<Why am I concerned with his health >

<I never used to care when my EX used to smoke, newaz>

(Why is she so concerned with my health suddenly?)

(I thought she didn't like the smell)

(Has she started treating me like her brother or something?)

(I will be doomed if she has)

(This sudden attention to me is making me nervous)

(I think I should skip her plan and go to the temple and pray that such a thing doesn't happen)

(Oh, she is ready already)

(Is she wearing a Kurti and Chudidar)

(She looks so different now)

(From a tomboy to a petite beauty of a girl)

(A pink kurti with a Chinese collar and printed Chudidar)

(She looks like a rose, soft and delicate)

(Why does everything around me seems go pink and happy )

{Authors Note:  1) Btw it’s been around 70 pages that I have been writing about HR & Aaliya
2) This is the 50th post in the series of Hopeless Romantik}
