As u like it..........

It was Friday.And we are grateful to have got Fridays as one of the days of the week(for obvious reasons).As usual I along with my friends headed for the nearest mall.That day,being Friday,was as usual crowded with people who had come to relax and do some chick hunting(only for boys[:)]) after a gruesome week long work.I was lured to do the same for half an hour and as we were smitten by the window shopping bug we got into it.After that we thought of buying something for ourselves and We headed to one of the most visited shoppe in the mall.But I did not find anything interesting there so felt window shopping was better than this.

I started doing Window shopping again looking at the outfits of "The brands" through the crystal clear glasses and just turning my eyes now and then,here and there looking at the chicks passing by with their boy friends, envying me by the scenes and making my wish to have one stronger.Later,as I was passing by a shoe shop, got attracted by a pair of shoes.The attraction was so immense that my legs got dragged into the shop by my eagerness to have one, though my heart was pleading to stay back and watch the chicks.So with a heavy heart i entered the shop and straight away started trying out some shoes.As i was deeply involved in trying out the shoes suddenly my eyes by itself turned to the entrance without any signals from my brain.From the entrance,entered a girl with incomparable beauty.I saw 360 degrees around her and confirmed that she was not with her boyfriend and I felt this is the time to really get started and woo her.She stared at me for a moment and suddenly turned her eyes away.I also shied away from her.All my mind was filled with her image,the way she entered the hall ,her stare at me etc .I purposely moved to the place where she was standing,so that I could get a chance to impress her.As i was thinking of the way to impress her and win her heart , i heard someone saying a sweet, melodious "hello,excuse me" behind me and as every normal human being would do, i turned back to see from where this voice originated .It was THE girl who had mesmerized me just a few minutes back.She now looked beautiful than earlier.I was very thrilled by the fact that the girl who had occupied me in my thoughts and whom I wanted to approach had herself come to me and talking.She gave a sweet smile,sweet enough to make my mind run full with imaginations about her.Now my mind was running faster than Schumi's Ferrari,I imagined myself sitting in a Coffee Day with her sipping hot coffee in a rusty winter, in a park sitting on a bench with me looking into her eyes and she into mine,the eyes doing all the talking,going for long ride with her arms tight around my belly ,inside a theatre having popcorns et al.These imagination were cut short,thanks to the same girl.She asked my name and i asked hers and I contemplated that I was heading in the right direction.She did not seem to be more comfortable with me than I was even though she was the one who approached me.She moved her hand towards the rack and took out a shoe and tried it on her slender feet and asked how that looked on her feet,I just said they looked very good (with a lot of exaggeration),although they were not that good,I did not want her to feel bad as I was enjoying each and every moment with her(however short the moment may be) but not asking myself for this unnecessary "build-up"(thats what i thought......) she is giving to me.She tried some 4 - 5 shoes and finally chose down to one ,I looked at the price and it was quite high .She was asking me every time about "how it looked on her?" and everytime i said that those are too nice on her. I wanted to ask her mobile number,take her to coffee,ask her house address and what not but before all this would have been a reality i was in for a shocker.She moved her hand into the purse and gave me the money and and said in her usual sweet,melodious voice(but this time it did not seem melodious to me[:(] ) "Pack the shoes and keep the change".For a moment I was blank @#&%$#$#$#$. I was taken aback by those words,i was dealt a heavy blow by those words.Suddenly my mind started pondering
"Whom did she think I was?","Did she not think,the way I thought of her?" ,a soon to be friend and finally "Did she think me as the sales guy?".As I was engrossed in these questions I could not pay attention to her and she again repeated those words.

Now,I could not have stood to have an eye to eye with her.And finally,very far from her sight, so that neither could she see my face nor could I,I ran,ran and kept running away from her,far away from her.
