Abhi waited for his turn on the cash counter of the Dmart mall..
He had bought the whole list of grocery his mom had messaged him...
His lazy younger brother was snoring soundly as it was Sunday, and so he had to come all alone...his mom was off to an early morning Diwali Pooja..
With so many sales, the store was filled with a large mob of people..
Abhi was sweating...
He looked ahead of him..
A lady was chaotically handling the two trolleys she had..
Well, he would say she was handling them well..
But she seemed to be irritated by the flying hair strands... honestly those strands made her look angelic...
Abhi didn't realise he was lost in her...but someone else did..
The girl saw her favourite cookie packet fall..she picked it up, and her hair blocked her view again..she irritatedly turned back to move her hair strands...that's when she saw a boy in track pants and tshirt looking at her...grinning like a red monkey..well the boy was smiling widely like a monkey...so he was a monkey..
She glared at him...
The boy was too lost to notice...
Shivangi saw the line ahead, the two ladies were bickering on who should go first...she was sure that would take time..
She pushed back the sleeves of her top and glared at the boy who was still grinning while seeing her..she marched towards him and snapped her fingers in front of him...
He snapped out and gulped seeing her angry...
Shivangi spoke a bit angrily:"Aap mujhe ghur rahe the?"
Abhi shook his head embarrassed:"Main toh.."
Shivangi:"Bandar hun..hai na..bandar ho na aap? Red monkey, smiling with wide mouth open..well koi baat nahi, baniye bandar, bas mujhe mat ghuriyega.."
Abhi rubbed the back of his head, turning red with embarrassment:"Aaahh nahi, I'm .. I'm not a monkey...it's just you're too beautiful to ignore and not smile Ms. Angry shopper.."
Shivangi's eyes widened in shock...she spoke up:"Youuuuu flirty man..tum jaise to college mein bhi milte Hain.."
Abhi's eyes widened:"Aap abhi bhi padh rahi hain?"
Shivangi glared at him:"Haan toh, kyon, tumhe dikkat hai?"
Abhi shook his head..
Shivangi saw the shock on his face and being a very friendly girl she felt she could just clarify...it won't harm naaa...
She said:"Extra hai..I'm already Post Graduate...."
The relief that Abhi got was clearly seen on his face and Shivangi knew the reason...she had met boys who flirted with her, tried to hold her hand, trying their best to win her heart..almost as if selling themselves...she was happy that finally she met a normal guy..
She didn't realise she was staring at him while thinking about him..
But the monkey did.. Abhi's cheeks turned red and soon crimson red, as he felt her gaze on himself...
He was squealing in happiness from inside..
Abhi thought:"Bahu mil gyi mumma.."
He obviously didn't say that aloud..
Shivangi was still staring at him
Abhi felt a rush of butterflies, rabbits, bears, tigers, lions, elephants, deer, even a large hippopotamus, in his stomach...
They were so lost staring at each other, that when the biller called them, they didn't listen..
An uncle from behind Abhi shouted:"Arey line aage badhao, ye kya dono khade ho..us ladki ko bolo aage jaaye.. Diwali ke time bhi samaj nahi inhe, areyyy aage badho.."
