Make a Nice day!

Do you believe in Love at first sight? It could be mere attraction or infatuation but true love?
All I believe is with all the matters of the heart, you will know when you find it. 
Aur kehte hai, agar kisi chiz ko sacche dil se chaho, to puri kaayant usse tumse milane ki koshish me lag jaati hai. And this part of my life is called ''The Beginning of the End''.

It was a fine Sunday morning and 306th day since she ended our relationship. We never had a formal breakup nor we had issues that would lead to same.

In my view, the reasons for this break up are too vague. I had never thought that she would leave me. Never ever. Not even in my wildest dreams. I tried to make things right for more than thousands of time. The only thing I got in reply was "Get over me". I have had really bad days then. I was unable to "Get over her". She was probably the only good friend I had. 

I was sitting in a not so fancy Cafe having mango mousse. Well, that's my therapy. Whenever I am sad or depressed, I eat desserts.  And I quoted

" Unki yaadon me muskura dete the hum

Aaj unn hi yaadon me aakehin ho jaati hai num"

As soon as I was done with my quote, my musings were interrupted by sudden and strong fragrance. With moist eyed, I looked up. At a distance I could see a girl in her late twenties seated on the table right before me. Wheatish complexion,  wide set eyes covered under big round geeky glasses. Her nose seemed to be distinctively small but cute. Her messy hair tied up in a high pony tail. She was wearing penny plain scarlet colored Tee and denim. On her left hand she was wearing a rose gold Mia bracelet with pink stone embedded in it. Once I had gifted the same piece. I could feel her aura. I got good vibes. She looked wow! Simply wow. I couldn't help myself from staring at her. Meanwhile our eyes met; she felt awkward to find me staring at her. To make the situation less uncomfortable, I smiled. But this made the situation more uncomfortable for her and she tried to smile. A guy from the counter went to her and greeted her. She smiled broadly as that guy approached her. I was confused whether she looked more beautiful when she smiled or she smiled more beautifully.   They had some conversation and guy went back to the counter. She might be a frequent visitor, I concluded. The guy appeared again and brought her a glass of Mango Pulp. Wow! People like me exist. She was noting something in her fancy notebook she was carrying. She is a left handed. I love lefties! I was trying to take a glance at her without seeking her attention. In less than 5 minutes she was done, she handed a note to the guy, paid the bill and left the place.

I got impatient. I did not want her to leave. But why? I don't know from where I got some insane courage, I paid the bill and rushed after her.

I shouted "Excuse me". She turned back and looked at me in amusement. "Yes" she replied. I did not know what to say next. Should I apologize for my behavior ? Or should I say Hi? And I baffled "You look beautiful". Of course, I had made the situation weird for both of us. She turned around to look if I was talking to someone else. She pointed her finger towards her and asked me in mime if I was talking to her. I gestured yes. She smiled (this time genuinely) and said "Thank you"! Before I could say something or ask her name she said "Make a nice day today" and left the place. I wanted to stop her again but couldn't.

Make a nice day today, Wow! Indeed a great way to wish someone. That day I had really lost my sense. I broadcasted a text message wishing almost every contact in my phone book-"Make a nice day today-Infinity".  And by 'Infinity'- I meant her. There were many in my contact list with whom I haven't spoken since years. Cheers to my craziness!  

That night I was unable to sleep. Besides, I had got many replies from the broadcasted list. All that I had in my mind was her. I was spell bounded by her. Ever since my the last, which also happens to be my first relationship, no one had ever made me feel this way. I did not want to fall in love, again. I did not want to break my heart, again.  I wanted to stay away from all these stuff. 

After a sleepless night, I finally decided that I would meet her at least once so that I could set myself free from her thoughts and get back to being normal. But how would I find her? I didn't know her name, I know nothing about her except that she was extremely cute and beautiful. Then I remembered of the guy from cafe. I rushed to the cafe and asked him if he knew her whereabouts. He said yes, he knew but he did not melt to give any detail about her. He just said that she visits this place often in the morning. For the next 5 days I daily visited the place in the morning ; at times in the evenings as well but she never appeared. I had lost all the hopes of seeing her again. On the 6th day, I had decided that this would be my last try, if she did not appear I would end this chapter. I went to the place, waited for almost three hours in vain. The only good thing happened with me then was I had tried almost all of the items on menu card in these 6 days and mango frappuccino tasted palatable . Finally, I had to end my longing desire to see her. As I was about  to leave the place I found that guy standing before me. "Why you want to meet her?". He asked.  I was numb. Even I didn't know why the hell I wanted to meet her. He handed me a piece of paper having address of some place. "Tomorrow". He said and left. I was unable to react. Was I happy? No. Yes. Maybe. Mixed feelings. 

Again I couldn't sleep that night wondering what I would tell her. Finally it was the time. I had decided to reach at the place at least one hour before the stated time. The place was a open lawn, lush greenery with soothing ambience where I could see bunch of Children with Infinity standing between them. No wonder she was beautiful. The moment I saw her, I found myself floating over a pool of positive vibes. I started walking towards her I could hear she was concluding her session or class "So, India does not have any sport as National game. And here we conclude today's meet. Make a nice day today. See you guys soon". And she came towards me.

I-Hi!

Her-Hello.

I-Wow!  So you are a teacher.

Her-No. They are my teeny tiny friends. We meet here every Weekend and share stories. They are amazing.

I- Wow! You are truly a bliss!

Her-(After a pause) I got to know that you have been visiting Cafe....

I- (Interrupting her with embarrassing tone)Yes. Actually...I don't know why... I mean I know but... I am sorry. I don't know why. I am unable to express.

Her-It's ok. (She smiled broadly)

I-(Damn! She is so cute.) You wish people "Make a nice day today" this is so sweet of you. Who wishes this way. I mean it would make anyone's day. Thank you Infinity.

Her- Infinity?

I- Umm...actually, I don't know your name and that was the first word that popped up into my mind. That's why Infinity.

Her- (She laughed) Yes. But it doesn't encourage me to change my name to "Infinity" like Grimes (c) did after Elon Musk's encouragement.

I- (Grinned) Ummm...Interesting.  How about speed of sound?

Her- (Laughed) Thank you!

I- Why? For What?

Her- Well, you called me Beautiful that day. And I receive these compliments infrequently.

I- Oh! Did I forget to mention that you are way too cute?

Her- (She turned red.)That's too much now.

I- (Initiating a handshake) Aditya 

Her- Shivani

(And the conversation continued...)

Shivani! She is amazing. I don't love her. No infatuation. But, I do like her. She somewhere taught me the biggest lesson of Life "Life is now. And now is Amazing". You can't build Future holding onto past. Ever since my last relationship, I had somewhere locked myself into a cage. I had fear of falling in love again. Fear of being in relationships. Fear of losing good friends. And what not. What stops us in life? Possibly; this fear stops us. The Fear that is deeply rooted inside us. But once we overcome this Fear, then there is nothing in this world that would stop us. Set your Love free. What is yours will eventually come to you. Love unconditionally. Most importantly, Love thyself. Whatever may come to my path, I am going to embrace it. I am going to live my life to the fullest. I want to Fall in Love, I want to make new Friends, I want to Fly, I want to cry and do everything that I have been stopping myself from. Because life is all about ''Make a nice day today''!
