The First Sight

May 2, 2018

A routine day, Janu returned home after her work. Relaxing herself with a cup of coffee and enjoying pleasant music. Her phone started beeping, she received an image of a person. A man wearing a white shirt, holding his mother. His charming eyes, curly hair, with a smile on his face spoke something with her. She replied back to the image asking who was he? Some unknown connection with that man, that feeling of being in unknown bonding with that handsome man in the picture.

An hour later She received a text saying -" He is your cousin - Teja". Teja-He was the person she was dying to see since when she was 10years old. Janu was on cloud nine, after seeing Teja's photo, whom she left hopes of seeing. She opened his photos more than times before sleeping. Every feature of him was so attractive. He was closely resembling her uncle, she desperately wanted to talk to him and see him directly. Out of enthusiasm she texted back to the person who sent his photo asking for contact information of Teja.

Her message remained unanswered.

Janu kept her phone aside and tried to catch some sleep. His charming face was flashing in her mind. She was lost in imagination-"What if I meet him? ", "Does he even know who am I? ". "What if he doesn't care or talk back? ". She couldn't sleep, feeling so restless she opened her laptop and logged into Facebook.

Trying to find out all possible options with him name and surname, going through each and every profile, searching with some mutual friends. No where she could find a trace of him. After long hunt on all social networking sites she returned to bed.

One more such restless day passed. After hundreds of messages, Janu finally received a reply- his instagram profile name. Without wasting a second she jumped into instagram and searched for Tejas profile. And finally there she is highly disappointed seeing his secured profile. Couldn't see anything other than his not very clear Profile picture. Immediately she switched to facebook account and searched for him, nothing could help. The only option she was left with was to send him a follow request. Although many thoughts were running in her mind she kept all aside and doubtfully sent a request. She waited for Teja response whole day. On the other side she was unsure if he could recognize her or not. A flash of all her old memories and stories she heard about Teja didn't let her sleep.

One more day passed, still her request remained unanswered.
