JUST THAT IT May Be........

Its 10 years the last time I saw her. I could still close my eyes and remember every moment that I saw her, every smile that she smiled , every laugh that she laughed, every prank that she played. I could remember it all.

 And today we were boarding the same flight. 2 hours we will be together in the same plane , in the same class. May Be.. sitting side by side. JUST THAT IT May Be........
 

I took my seat wondering what all the fuss was about, as a gentleman (looked more like a bulldog)asked me if I could exchange his seat with mine which apparently was next to her’s. I was ecstatic. May Be.. today was finally the day that i had waited for so long I thought. JUST THAT IT May Be........  
 

I stole a glance at her.. she was still the most beautiful girl I had ever met in my life. May Be.. now was my time I thought.
 

I didn’t have to do much to start the conversation. She said “hi” first. Before I could get over the excitement, before I could reply thoughts started pouring into me. May Be.. she recognised me. May Be.. she wanted to talk all along this time. May Be.. I was more than just a class mate.                           

Finally what seemed like ages I managed to concentrate on the job at hand, I replied “ so wassup where have u been all these years”. She didn’t reply at first. May Be.. she didn’t recognise me . May Be.. my face had changed too much. May Be.. I was a little too blunt. JUST THAT IT May Be........                                                                      

Then she just smiled. I handled the situation very well & said “I was going to Mumbai on a business trip. What about you .“ she smiled like an angel and the world seemed like it had never been better before. For which she replied that she was going to meet her cousin. I couldn’t help but grin. May Be.. she wanted me to give her a ride home . May Be.. she wanted me to come along. May Be... she wanted to know if I was free for a coffee. JUST THAT IT May Be........                                                                                                                                                        

Beep Beep.. She got a message and she smiled again. But this time she started talking to me she wanted to tell me something about her friend. And once she started she went on like some unstoppable express train. At times waiting for my nod which many a times came a little late. Somehow warmth was spreading all through my body something which had nothing to do with the temperature inside the plane. At that point of time I couldn’t have been happier. May Be.. I thought it was worth the wait. May Be... it this is what we call as destiny. May Be... now I will finally have my wish. JUST THAT IT May Be........                                                                                                 

We finally came to our senses only when the plane started to descend. I couldn’t have been dumber to leave it this late I thought. May Be.. I will have to wait till we get down on the airport. May Be.. then I could ask her for a coffee . May Be.. I could even get to drop her. JUST THAT IT May Be........                                                                          

I finally got down making sure that I got down before her hoping that I finally manage to achieve what I couldn’t in four years of my college life. She had said she will got to KFC so I decided to park myself there. I took a window seat through which I could see people coming in and going out of the airport. And I waited and waited and waited for don’t know how many hours. It seemed like just a moment ago when she was there right in front of me and I couldn’t even touch her. May Be.. this was another test of my love. May Be.. she didn’t want to talk to me again. May Be.. I was not good enough for her. May Be... she already had someone in her life. May Be.. I could still find her in this mega city MUMBAI. JUST THAT IT May Be.. May Be.. May Be...
