Hangover III

(...refer to previous posts for initial part)

“I just realized it is a beautiful night” I had come down too, to say goodbye. “Really....is it!” she smirked while looking at sky full of clouds; moon had also slept by now I thought. “I know it is dark, but then real beauty doesn't need the permission of god to dazzle” the scotch was back at play.  “Well, Thanks again. I don’t know how I would have managed without you” she was looking cute while playing with pony tail. “You are embarrassing me. I just saved the poor kid, I thought you were about to kill him”. “That is so mean of you.....” she punched me lightly. I felt like punching back but then my punches are anything but light so I controlled my emotions. “You stay with your family” it was time to come down to business. “Yea....” not the answer I was hoping for. “Good, so who all are there in the family” I was little subtle now. “Me, mom and Bhaiya.......Dad passed two years ago” the smile had gone now. “I am..... Sorry” I thought wrong question. “What does your brother do” I wanted to change the topic. “He is preparing for Mr India next year, into modelling”. “That’s awesome” I said while looking over her shoulder if her bodybuilder brother is coming to say Hi.

“It was nice meeting you Karan” that generally means goodbye. “Same here, LATIKAA” I just wanted to say her name. “It’s small world, I am sure we will get more chances to say thanks to each other” I wanted to ensure that it wasn’t just one night stand (well technically it wasn’t but mere the thought gave me some ideas and a smile..). “Latty....is it you” the loud voice brought me back into reality. It was from 3^rd floor I guess. “Yea Bhaayee, just reached...” she looked in hurry. For some reason I didn’t look up but I was in a hurry too now. “Ok Karan, Goodnight and Goodbye...” she waved while entering the front gate. “Goodnight ...Bye” I wanted to say see you again but something held me back.

“It is 12.30, and you are with your very own Love Guru.....” radio was still giving me company on my way back. “Today we will discuss the amazing experience of love at first sight...”
