#2 The meeting

He wanted to reach there as soon as possible. But he couldn’t feel his legs. Her sight made him heavy inside.

Sam reached for the chair next to her. He sat on it carefully. He could feel her presence overwhelming him. He carefully coined his actions and words started pouring.

“Hello there”
“mmm” was what she said while turning.
May be she didn’t hear him in the first place. Sam thought.
“Hello I am Sam.” He tried again. Desperation could be felt in him. He could feel it too. He just wanted to run away. But he had to go on, it was his only chance.

“Ya I know” she replied.

Sam felt like God. He couldn’t believe his ears. He didn’t except this answer from her. ‘What’s’ next’ was the only thing now troubling him.

“Okaie” Sam said, searching for words. He went numb.

“You come to this café often. Don’t you?” She asked.

“Ya I do”.

“I am Angel” she said extending her hands.

Sam quickly grabbed them and exchanged a firm shake hand. “ Ya I know too” Sam said looking at her ID tag.

Her eyes turned to her tag and then she burst into laughter.

Now Sam couldn’t believe his eyes. ‘ Man she is so incredible’ Sam thought.

Her laughter engulfed Sam into deeper thoughts. He wondered how she could exist. She was simply great.

“Where are you from?” She asked.

This startled Sam. Sam quickly regained consciousness and prepared for the answer.

“Near by” Sam said, “what’s plans for today?”

“Well nothing” she said.
“Dinner at Mc Kinsey’s?” Sam asked and prayed she would comply.
“Okay that would be great, I would love to” She answered.
Now Sam couldn’t believe anything that is happening around. He couldn’t feel his legs his arms. He felt stiff. He couldn’t say when was the last time he was as happy as he is now. May be the time has come for him too. He felt like he accomplished something, he felt victorious.

“See you at 7 near the statue” said Sam.
“Positive” she replied and walked away. Sam couldn’t take eyes off her. He turned around for one last glance before she disappeared in the kitchen.

Sam couldn’t stop his smile while walking back to the table. He could see the anxious face of David.

“What happened?” David asked anxiously.

“Well…….. she agreed for a date tonight” Sam said proudly.
“That call for a PARTY !!!!” Shouted David.

Sam could see every eye in the café on them. He didn’t care.
