the familiar stranger

Ruvi

I just couldn’t ignore those puppy eyes🥺🥺

Eyes glued to me like, I mean the whole world to him, like

my simple gesture or a single word can change his whole world what else a girls

could ask for, besides he seemed to be a good guy, I have seen him many times laughing

wholeheartedly, playing with his dog many times on Sunday’s eve.

Yes 5 years ago, when it all started between us.

Since then, many things have changed.

 But one thing remains

the same, our thoughts, most importantly my opinion about love.

 I mean I like him, I want

him but I can’t love him, because this single word can change everything, I mean

everything.

When you like someone, your heart is there with him, you want

to be with him,

 But if you say you

are in love, you have to make sacrifices and adjustment, fake lies, and I am

not ready yet,

 And I will never be ready for that.

5 years ago,🤔🧐

 When we met, we finally

had some conversation. I got to know how mesurable he was since that morning.😑

It was a bad day for him. I was never good with words but I tried to console him.

Suddenly it started to rain.

I asked him for ice cream and potato chips. 😋😋And yes like everyone else gave weird look and asked “ who eats ice cream with potato chips.”😏😃

I laughed and said “whenever my mom used to give me ice

cream, I was too lazy to go for the spoon, so I used to make potato chips from my stash

for the spoon, and eventually, it becomes habit”😁

 After listening I was assured that he couldn’t believe that some can develop such a habit of being lazy.😁

and hare I was thinking, what and where his mind would go if he will really other things about me. 😜🤪

Denying his resistance I took him to my ice cream parlor

and we had some ice cream.

I asked my staff to make one “ Gulaknd Paan Ice cream with

some crispy home-made chips and frozen paan”

After listening to my order he was confused again. I just said him to wait for the suspense.

Offcourse he would not have had this before, but I definitely knew he would love it.

 (Ever since a kid, I was found of the desert, and eventually, it becomes my passion.I opened this ice cream just a few months ago, and to people

liking it running well😊😃)

The order arrived at the  Gulkand pan ice cream placed inside boat-shaped cone, with frozen pan, kept aside, the ice smoke covering the whole platter, and

rose-shaped bucked filled with homemade chips.

He was very doubtful and astonished at the same time. 🧐

He said, he was not fond of sweets.

However, he took a bite.🥴🧐😶

I watched anxiously and excitedly at the same time.😬🙀

He just ate… one bite after another and said nothing…..🤨😶🙇🙇

I was dying inside ( come-on just say something … you are🙇🙇🤷🙀😾

not the god of taste… please say something)😖😣🥺

He ate all, and still nothing yet.😶🤨😬

Is he dumb,😡😠😡

Or he had a brain freeze.😾😡😖

 10 min passed … just ... say something.🤯😵🤨🙇

After 10 min I saw the plate.😶😶🤫🤭

 And I got my answer …..also he seemed happy.😛🙂😊

Much better than, when I met him in the park.😃

After he finished the ice cream, which was meant for two.😜😝😛

We just talked about things.💞👩‍🦱👨‍🦰

He also informed that he is digital marketing by profession and a food blogger.

I could use his help. So I ask him to help me

with the parlor. He was a bit hesitant but agreed.

We took our leave and went our ways after that.

 I actually talked to🤔😶 a stanger, above that I showed him the parlor even offered him work, which 😳

was opposite to my nature.🙄🤔
