We Met On A Saturday Night- Part 1

It was tiring day,there was drizzling outside and Iwas returning home. I was quite late as there was a lot of work in the office. It was a Saturday night , all the clubs and cafes were full ,people were enjoying weekends and here I was , totally alone , exhausted with my lifestyle. I thought sometimes I should also pamper myself so I decided to go to a cafe and have a coffee and then head back to home. I told my cab driver to turn and take the cab to the cafe.The tiny café huddled despondent among the huge city buildings. Washed out under the overcast sky, it hunched in itself, fighting against the drizzle. Bright lights , wooden flooring and some candles were making it a quite romantic place and then there was me, completely alone , hoping for someone's company. I was lost in my own thoughts and then I heard something, "excuse me Mam! , what would you like to have?" The waiter had arrived, I hadn't decided what am I going to have so in a hurry ,I ordered a coffee only. I was astonished by the beauty of this cafe , it was all looking so perfect , it had been long since I had spent time with myself.I was happy and quenched after eternity. I was waiting, watching all the people who were happily sitting with their loved ones , feeling a bit jealous from them, and why wouldn't I be . It was such a good place ,the weather was so good and I was all alone with the burden of work on my shoulders . Suddenly,waiter arrived with my order, taking me out of all my sadness ,he served a cup of coffee giving away good aroma to my life.

Slowly,I started sipping it for it was really hot for my tongue . I took one sip and then the other and there I heard a man, on my back , calling for waiter. Waiter rushed towards him and took the order. I just noticed he had ordered a coffee and had already 4 cups of coffee on table . I was a little surprised and confused, 5 cups of coffee at a time were too much for me. He looked at me , I thought he had seen me looking at him so I immediately looked away. I turned my back towards him, after sometime I again looked back and he was still looking at me, I got nervous initially but then he passed a smile making me comfortable , I gazed at him and couldn't look anywhere except him. He had the kind of face that stopped you in your tracks. I guess he must get used to that, the sudden pause in a person's natural expression when they looked his way followed by overcompensating with a nonchalant gaze and a weak smile. Of course the blush that accompanied it was a dead give-away.

The waiter arrived with coffee placing one on his table and then one he gave to me. I was confused as I hadn't ordered any. I asked the waiter about the same but then I heard ," this one is from my side!", As I looked, that was the same guy I have been gazing since last few minutes. He ordered the waiter to go and sat next to me on the same table. He smiled and there, at that moment, he got my eyes and attention both.
