It was a hot afternoon and we were waiting impatiently for our turn to see the doctor. A girl was sitting diagonally opposite and she seemed to be worried about her glasses and was trying to fix it. I looked at her hoping to have the first eye contact preparing myself to smile and approach to lend a helping hand. She was trying to fix it but in vain. I approached her, she did look up and there was a sudden background–defocus.
Rohan: Let me fix that for you!
Girl: Thank you, but I'll help it myself.
Rohan: I know just the way to do it.
She didn't seem welcoming enough and maybe that's because of the outfit I wore. But that hit my self esteem which made me go straight to her in front of all the other people just to get denied! I wasn't moving back without fixing her glasses now.
So I literally snatched the glasses from her and fixed it forcibly. I still feel she thought of shouting at me for misbehaving with her but then she probably reminded herself that she was in a clinic packed full of people. I handed over her glasses. I knew she wasn't going to thank me and so I went back to my seat. I realized that I had not introduced myself, so being a desperate guy, I called out her, "Hey I’m Rohan!" She wasn't in a mood to revert back but then I could hear her, "Aarohi!" And she walked out of the clinic without even visiting the doctor. I asked myself if I irritated her to the point that she went out being upset and angry, I wished her to come back and maybe I'd apologise. And surprisingly, she did come back. I said sorry but I had no reply.
She went out of the clinic after visiting the doctor. And I somehow found out her number from the appointment list and texted her creepily, "Hey, it's Rohan." And the next text was, "How the hell did you follow me here!". I shamelessly replied, "Maybe I could explain that over a coffee date?"
To this day, I still don't know why on earth did I text a random girl whom I met in a clinic but isn't that's how all the love stories begin?
