Johnny met Sonny :)

Saturday evening , scheduled to meet at CCD, ‘Date’ Ya Ya , call it a date. He was looking at his watch, waiting for ‘Sonny’, was before time and that too half n hour early, ‘that’s bad’ he said to himself, as it shows desperation n gals don’t like desperate guys. Excuses are needed to give Sonny for coming early. His mind started recalling all the Bollywood excuses, he decided whatever he picks from those list it should be terse. Hmm..better to say that “5 min phele hee ayaa hun”. Ya that’s better..’Terrific Johnny’ , he said to himself.

But what to do now, he swept a look covering every corner of the CCD , people yacking at every table, no one sitting idle and alone, suddenly a thought hit him “What if any of his frnd see him there sitting all alone”, although none of his frnd will ever come to CCD on Saturday evening that’s the time to booze at pub. “Forget it” he said to himself , will see when it comes.

He had waited long to meet her, weeks of messaging and talking on phone late nights, spoiling his sleep, all these crap things he thought, had brought him to this moment, this brought a smile(crooked one) on his face . Never seen her before , so decided on a dress code which would be helpful in recognizing each other. The lyrics of the song from the movie “MDK” was flowing in his head . “Andheki anjanai si, pagli si deewani si, na jane kaise hogi woh”. Sonny’s voice was all charming, sexy and glittering , from that he framed a image of her in his mind/heart, though voice and looks have no synergy, but that’s the way one’s imagination defines and relate things.

All of a sudden his Nokia N72 started making noise, disturbing his thought process, it was her, he picked it up, “I’m there, Where r u ?” she said, “Inside , corner table” he said , as his heart started pounding heavily. She walked inside the CCD passing all the tables and fast approaching him, he raised his hand and his eyes scanning her as if looking for bugs in her, “She is hot and certainly beddable!!!”(courtesy –Company of women), Aaah!! That’s the problem of reading Khushwant Singh (No offense ).

Sonny: Hi!
Johnny: Hello!

Sonny: “Sorry I was late”.
Johnny: “Na na, I’m early , you are on time”. What was that ? I never saw that coming, minutes before I was looking for excuses and here I am admitting.

He was still staring at her, as she was going thru the Menu. “I hate this silence” he said. Someone should initiate to get out of it. What to say????

Sonny : “Let’s order something , I’m hungry ”.
Johnny: Gr8 she broke the ice, gals and eating are Synonyms I guess. “Ya please go ahead ”.

Sonny : One Chicken Sandwich with cheese , one French fries and one ice lemon tea.
Johnny: God I guess she ordered for both of us.

Sonny: “Yeh Johnny”. What for u man.?
Johnny: Only ice lemon tea. Why “only” in that statement, that’s for sarcasm , he giggled.

Sonny: Actually I skipped my lunch , was busy with something.
Johnny: It’s fine Yaar. “Busy” in what? It came out of my mouth, the very thought of its consequences chilled my blood, b’coz this mark the entry of unrelated , uninterested bulk of nonsense hitting my ears shortly of which I was least bothered.

Sonny: Nothing of that importance, just routine weekend stuff.
Johnny: That’s it, I thought. She suddenly took me off the hook. I was happy. “So..” before I could complete my sentence -her phone started ringing.

Sonny : Sorry, Excuse me.
Johnny: Hmm!! That will give me some time now to glare at her and reformulate myself. She was beautiful, minimal make up, no jazzy jewels. Simple yet appealing in her Blue jeans and white T-shirt. She was laughing ,that made me angry who was on other side, that reminded me of the late night talks where I made her laugh. Finally She hung up. I was about to Ask “Who was it”.

Sonny: It was bro. U were saying something.
Johnny: Ya, I forgot.

Sonny: What?
Johnny: Actually the throw of u r beauty are killing my brain cells and my senses. “Bravo Johnny” that’s the way.

Sonny: She started smiling. "U r too much" she said

And that was just the beginning of long awaited love for both of them, lot’s of such meeting that marked the era of new phase in life for them. The ‘Lust’ of the first date with Sonny was converted into everlasting ‘Love’ for Johnny.

They still meet and talk on phone late nights but it’s not the talk or words which connects them. Basically Words define Us but Love connects Us.
