I was there, standing on the railway station. So confused and so frightened. Many thoughts were teeming in my mind. I had dressed perfectly for her, blue jeans with my blue shirt. Yes, there’s lots of blue here. But it was just a coincidence. I was nervous, as hell. And I didn’t want to ruin our first meet. Suddenly, my cell had vibrated. She had called. As I saw her name on my mobile screen, I suddenly pressed the green button. I heard her sweet voice. ‘I am standing on the flyover. Climb the stairs. I will meet you there. Ohk?’ she said firmly. ‘But, how am I supposed to find you?’ I asked, trying to control my nervousness. I had wanted to be perfect, perfect for her. I just wanted to be MY DOLL’S prince charming. I wanted to be her boy, whom she wants in me. ‘Find every possible girl talking on her cell phone.’ she mused. I had started climbing the stairs. She hadn’t hung up her call. I had started my hunt to find the-mobile-girl. And I saw one. The lightning had stroked in me inside, somewhere. My heart had started pumping lots of blood at the same time. My voice choked. My stomach ached hardly. And my mind said, ‘Turn and Run’. Don’t laugh guys. I was totally awestruck, actually. And you won’t believe I did the same thing that my mind had told me to do. I turned and came on platform. She was on call. ‘I am going back, home. I can’t do this. I won’t, I exclaimed. I was in a little panic, and panting. My heart was beating on every possible second. ‘What? Why?’ she said. She was confused and aghast as well. ‘I don’t know.’ I mused. ‘See, just come up. I am there. Please don’t do this.’ She said. I found her voice so soft; still I found that she was more panicked due to me. I didn’t want to make her panic. But everything happened so suddenly, that I hadn’t controlled it. I just wanted to make things work out. But it wasn’t working as I always wanted. I grab some courage. I had decided that I would make things work out. Yes, I can do it. And I had started climbing the stairs. I can feel my breaths, my heart beats. I felt like they were mocking me. Suddenly, I saw her. I saw her for the first time. After a year, finally, we had met. I felt the terror inside me had diminished. The fresh air of the morning was playing with her hair. She resembled the first ray of light. She was so beautiful. I had never expected such beauty, until I have found her. She was looking at me and I was looking at her. It was like the world had stopped for a moment, like my heart had stopped for a moment. It was like we were only there on the over bridge. It was my first meet with the girl whom I met on orkut. Yes, she is my social networking girl and I was her social networking boy. We had never seen each other but fell in love, because our love is love and not just the attraction. Maybe you are little disgusted by my decision. Maybe, you wonder, ‘how is he supposed to trust anyone on any social networking site?’ Then for those people I have only one answer, ‘love is blind’. Yes, my love is blind. But sometimes it’s easy to be blind and give a chance to this ‘blind-love’. I am happy today and I will always be. I know there are risks. But trust me, we don’t have control of the things that are going to happen in our life. So let the things move on according to their speed and have HOPE.
