This Fall I Fell For You

Today from the morning, the thunder was continuously roaring in the sky and as a result after a while there started a shower of heavy rainfall from the sky. The drops of the rain looked like tiny crystals, maybe it's because it's the first fall of the season. The pleasantly cold water of the pattering raindrops quenched the thirst of the earth, trees and people also as it was so scorching and humid these days. There was howling of the wind and splashing of the water, this seemed to make everyone very elated.

Birds sang and twittered sweetly on the wet cold barks of trees. Roads turned into small rivulets and the children were splashing and playing in the muddy, dirty puddles. Papers floated in the water and kids started cycling all around in the colony. People happily started cooking fritters to enjoy the beautiful rain. It was hilarious to see the reaction of people on the sight of moving vehicles. Everything seems to be enjoying the first fall of monsoon, but it was generating a different emotion in me. It was making me nostalgic and giddy, because the previous year I met him during the first fall, him, my soul mate.

Until last year I never liked the season of rainfall because it always made me so irritated and fussy because of the dampness in the atmosphere the rain causes. It made hard even to commute, even though you are a punctual worker you are bound to be late for office. 

If I think now maybe it was better I was late that day. That day, it was the same as today but the emotion in me was different.

Last year, during the first rain I remember I was rushing to the office because I was already running behind my schedule and before you ask me about the being late stuff then allow me to tell you that I was never been late to my workplace ever. 

When I reached the bus stop, it was highly chaotic because the bus was running late due to the sudden fall causing traffic on the roads. This made me more frustrated but it all changed when my eyes fell on a man. 

I won't be able to do justice to his actual charming aura, if I try then he was handsome, not perhaps, in the conventional sense, but he had that appearance which could make him stand out in the crowd. He was fair, almost pale white. His unfathomable, dark brown eyes contrasted exceptionally with his light toned face. His eyes were as deep and expressive, where you could get lost if you stare long enough. His face had that faraway look in it, which cannot be described in words. He was not extremely muscular but had muscles at right positions & this made him stand out in a crowd, which was mostly due to his way of carrying himself. Perhaps he was not the kind who had girls swooning over him. But he was simple, calm, innocent and breathtaking . He was perhaps just one in a billion, who was “nothing special, but at the same time awe-inspiring”. 

All my anger dissipated by having just one glance at him and I unconsciously did the thing which I never thought my introverted personality would ever do. 

I missed the bus & from the Cafe nearby, I bought two hot Frappuccino, cautiously walked towards him. I hesitantly sat near him, suddenly all the courage I previously had left my body, I got frozen and sat there like a dumb person. I don't know for how much long I kept taking sneaky glances of him & getting lost in his aura. 

Suddenly a voice pulled me out of the trance, that voice was deep yet smooth, honey laden, calm and most importantly I felt it getting resonated in my heart.

"Miss, if you hold this for a long time your fingers will get scalded."

I just looked at him dumbfoundedly and blinked my eyes to understand what he was trying to say because at that time I was so mesmerised by his charming and gallant aura which he was unconsciously emitting. 

He again spoke," Miss, forgive me for my nosiness but I believe drinking two grande of caffeine as first thing in early morning is not at all healthy and Miss.....I do know that some famous person said that eyes can talk but.....Miss if you gonna stare at me the whole time I won't be able interpret your actual words."

Hearing this, my first instinct was to defend myself but then I realized that I am in fault here for staring him like a creep, so I bowed to him and mumbled an apology. 

Just the moment I was about to get up, he said calmly with a tinge of hurry," Miss, I do like coffee but I have never tried Frappuccino…..So may I?"

He held out his hand to take the coffee and I gave him the coffee unconsciously. My dumb mind realized his actual intention of saving me from embarrassment hidden in his statement after sometime and that made me so self-conscious. I just covered my face and gasped, having an immense urge to jump at the pits of hell but when I looked up to him he was smiling knowingly and sipping on coffee giving an sensual eyebrow raise looking straight into my eyes or maybe into my soul.

We looked each other in the eyes for a long time, at that time I for sure know that my face got red as a tomato because of all the blood gushing across my face. I averted my eyes because even in that cold wind howling around, my body was getting hot like I am having a fever.

When we both calm down from our not so hidden heated moment, I looked at my watch then I realized that its way past my office time but today instead of being anxious & frustrated, I was content and happy, for the first time I was feeling giddy like a teenager who just got a glance from his crush.

Then I came to perceive that he was also sitting here all the time, doesn't he also have to go to his office or workplace, as a result I curiously asked him," You don't have to be in your workplace."

He said," When a gorgeous woman with kohl-black eyes and beautiful braided callithrix hair offers you coffee subtly by staring at you then only a dumb person will lose the chance. Am I wrong Miss."

I blushed profusely if it was possible after listening to this, 

& that's where it all started.

Today if I see the events of that day I believe that overture to him was one of the best decision I had ever taken. 

After that day I fell in love with the rain, with the wind, with the people, with the coffee, with the person, with his company, with his temperament, with his charisma, with his smile, with his sensual antics, with him. 

I know I sound whipped but this time I chose to be whipped for the man who is in deep slumber beside me having an innocent smile which aids to his unequivocal charm and that makes me love him more.

Seems like in this season of rainfall, I am just simply falling more and more for you. Feeling drowsy again after the heated last night, I decided to take half day leave from office and chose to cuddle with him more. Looks like I had got better in taking good adjudication now a days.
