The Meeting

The girl sat there in the restaurant waiting to meet someone as promised. She has not seen him though. Just communicated on the phone as a prospective candidate for marriage. His phone was coming as switched off since morning and She was apprehensive. All kinds of thoughts flooded her mind and she remembered that it was he who had insisted to meet. Though she had refused earlier she decided to meet him in the day he was supposed to take the train back to Nagpur. 

It was decided to meet at a restaurant near her house in the afternoon. She got ready and set there in the restaurant waiting for him. He did not come and She came back home feeling confused and upset. The phone was still switched off.

The next morning she kept trying the phone number but it was still switched off. She thought maybe the phone was lost or stolen. And then that afternoon she saw the blue ticks in the WhatsApp message and felt relieved. But there was no reply to her messages. She asked again about his whereabouts when he replied that he was in Nagpur and his phone has got stolen.

It was a strange coincidence as the meeting was not meant to be. She kept thinking whether it was good or bad that they did not meet. So many questions and assumptions. He said sorry and promised to meet the next time he visited his home in Agra. But it still felt strange. Maybe it was God's will.

She felt as if she liked him by The way he was so simple and straightforward. The way he was so different in being so polite and respectful. Not being able to meet him felt like a loss. But also there was hope of meeting in the near future if God's willing. Amen
