Mimo, my lazy bug

Is he the one?

I still remember it was the month of May 2014 in Delhi, very hot with temperature 45°C. Me and my family were off to Delhi for our summer vacations at my Uncle's place in Aurangzeb road, one of the Porsch areas in Delhi. Since Rishi's and my childhood we loved this place and always wanted to stay back and never go back home.
My uncle Mr. Surjit Kumar, a high ranked government official in SAIL always inspired me to become big. I wanted to be like him except for few things. He was our favourite maternal uncle and we really loved him and his family and vice versa. Whenever there's any fest or family event to be held, it was always my mom to be called for. Through years, our bond grew stronger and stronger.

"Or meri moti kaisi hai?" (How you doing my fatso), Maninder bhaiya said sitting next to me. He was my most favourite cousin bro and also really handsome, though I didn't like him much in my childhood. But later, in my teenage his habits fascinated me. Going on bike rides with him was always a heaven. He was a total ladies' man and a game freak even then I liked him, though it was something I wouldn't like in a man.

"Bas badhia bhaiya". (All good bro)
"Saw your PSP it's cool"
"We gonna play it tonight", bhaiya said showing his joystick.

Night fell, and it's time for us to go for a walk post dinner.
"Oye! Don't you wanna play? The PSP?, Bhaiya said with his voice insisting me to not go.
"Not now bhaiya, food was heavy. Need some walk".
"Okay, as you wish", he disappointed.

It was time when Rishi and I used Facebook to chat with our school friends and know who's going where for vacation and who's choosing what course next. This was the time when anyone choosing better course or some professional course would get us an anxiety.
"Wanna have icecream?", Bindu didi asked me. She was Uncle's younger daughter.
"Yes, chocobar", Rishi and I said in unison excited.
At one end of the road, there were four ways crossed, at the junction to the side was an icecream cart AKA Icecream wale bhaiya.
"Bhaiya four chocobar", Bindu didi said in a low tone.
Aurangzeb road's lanes, tranquility and icecream were something I can never compare it to any luxury.

That night there was some sort of magic in the air. That night awaited for something cool, for something that was destined to happen. Yes, it was the night when I met the one, who longed to have me for his entire life. It's also weird that things that are destined to happen, makes you unaware, a lot you can ever imagine. But it gives you hint through your sixth sense. LoL

"Isn't this summer night so good. There's something weird I feel Rishi", I said taking a small bite from my chocobar. I feel I'm gonna fall in love soon.
"I don't feel anything", she said concentrating on her chocobar.

Just then my phone beeped. It was a Facebook notification notifying me a message from Rahul. He was my school senior, a year older to me. Shallow, tall, kind hearted person I ever met. We studied in the same school, and also every year our classes were next to each other on the same floor, even then we never talked. Thanks to Facebook our friendship grew stronger over time. I called him Mimo, it was a name given by me to him and he called me Chico. Chico was a cute name, initially the only thought came to me was, it was a brand of diapers. LoL later I googled it, it said "a cute girl in Spanish". After that I liked that name alot.

"Hi sup?", Mimo texted.
"Hey all good".
"Dinner?"
"Yeah, just out for walk".
"So which college are you joining?".

I was bout to text just then someone crossed my way, Karan! The most handsome guy I ever met! 5.9" wheatish, Specy, sporty look, his raven black curly hair and his neatly sculpted body had some kind of magic. He appeared the best in every way to me, obviously because when you fall for someone you never notice their flaws. He was an artist, worked in a theatre near by and the worst, he was my Uncle's far of relative.

"Dude, forget college! There's someone who just made my heart beat skip!", I texted as soon as I can to Mimo.
"Woah! Who?!"

He, Karan saw me first then taking his eyes off he came forward to greet us. I swiftly ignored him, so that he doesn't notice me I was seeing him. He greeted us, touched my mom's feet as a sign of respect. God! This made me fall for him straight away! He waved a hi, my eyes, smile and hands replied to it instantly. This was weird LoL. What the hell did I just do?! Just like me are others also feeling weird? Or is it just me feeling this? He left after saying Namastey to my mom. We went towards west and he towards east. My heart wasn't an organ right now, it was a horse running inorder to win a race.

"You're icecream just fell", Rishi screamed.
"Shit!" Never mind I just had something more better than this.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, it's totally fine. I wasn't feeling to have it anymore". Though I wanted to eat more icecream.

"There?", Mimo texted after being annoyed for 20 mins of no reply.
"Mimo karan was here❤️!"
"Cool"
"Hey are you annoyed?"
"No", he texted after 5 mins
"Good😁"
"Did u talk to him?"
"No😅 everyone was there. How could I?"
"Okay cool👍"

I went deep down into the thoughts and the incident that happened couple of hours ago. He came saw me then touched my mom's feet. His cologne seduced me to every inch. What was it Wildstone, Nike or Engage?

Notification again. May be Mimo wishing me good night because it's 22:45. My thoughts made me numb and so refused to see the notification. A notification again, this time my phone's brightness made me take it. No way! It was an FB message from Karan! I eyes couldn't believe it and my heart was again a running horse!

"Hey", he texted.
I waited and pretending not to show no interest I texted him in another 15mins.
"Hello"
"How are you?😊", Texts instantly.
"I'm good. Thanks. How u doin?😊", Again texted him after 10 mins.
I scrolled down to see what he texted.
"I'm fine. Just wanted to say you looked beautiful😉".
Is this really happening bhagwan ji? Did he realise I've fallen for him and he trying to be a playboy?
"Thanks, I never knew you noticed me😅".
"Yes I notice you"

"Don't you wanna sleep? Look at the time?", Rishi said angrily. "What if someone sees you at this hour?".
"What 4am?!"
"Yes, your highness it's early morning! Shut this thing and go to sleep!"
"Gosh it's pretty late, I'm sleepy too. GN", texted him.
Phone vibrated instantly. I scrolled down the notification bar.
"Yeah, time just flies away! GN girl".
Girl!? He's pretty fast. Perhaps he'd open up in the coming days. Hope meeting you soon Karan!

Everyone were at the table for breakfast. Aloo paratha, sauce and tea all ready to be consumed. I took my phone and texted Mimo. Trust me it was very much my excitement that wanted to burst out.
"Mimo, guess what?!"
"You guys talked, I know😂"
"Woah, how u know😍?
"I know you Chico"
"He called me GIRL last night"
"Last night or early morning?"
"Dude were you spying on me? How do you know?!"
"Your FB last seen silly 😂! I waited for your reply, but you didn't 😒"
"I'm sorry Mimo 🤪"
"It's alright. Then how's he? Good or just a creep"
"I don't know man, we guys just talked 😁"
"Cool. Good luck".

I was just waiting for the night to fall and meet him again. Please wear the same cologne again Karan it drives me crazy. Wish you too feel the same as I do.
