Yes, it was still raining hard…..and as I sat beside him, cudn’t help myself stealing a glance at him sideways…..he was tossing his ball on the ground, hmmm, was gud at it, must have been a gud sportsperson or sorts…!!

Suddenly he stopped and asked, “wats the time by your watch..?” …

Oh, I was taken aback as if caught red handed…!! “unnn… its quarter past ten..”

“hmmm….still 2 hours to go…” he smiled….

“ya”, I smiled back…Gosh, those dimples…!!!

“Hi, my name is Aditya. I am the basketball coach at the university here, and you..?”…he stretched his hand…

Something from the past flashed in my mind…..what was I supposed to do..?? I was completely blank for a moment…..just cudn’t make out anything…!!!....oh yes, shake hands of course…!!

“Rishita, I’m an architect. I am the in charge of the Presidency’s renovation project here….”

“okkk, the hotel, right..?”

I nodded and he smiled again…..

I started looking off him again…where, what, why, I dint know..!!   ..there was nothing at the platform to look at….but obviously, no matter how much I wanted to, I cudn’t hold his hands and ask, don’t u remember me Adi, don’t u..?? ……… he surely didn’t….!!!

to be cont…
