Chereads / Keeping it alive / Chapter 6 - The spark

Chapter 6 - The spark

Love, what a strange feeling! It makes you feel high & insanely happy in those early days. I remember my early days with him. Those were some really magical moments. All the love, eye contact, the first touch, it was insane. And I realized I didn't have him with me anymore. My heart sank a little bit.

"Stop thinking about him you stupid" I screamed at myself while entering the staff room.

It had been a week, and so far it was going great.

In the cafe at lunch time, we were cracking a lot of jokes today. Chery was being hilarious, and I noticed that his performance always improved when our 'non-waiter' Waiter Amit aarived. And that day, he was dropping a lot at our table, giving us a charming smile.

"Who do you think is more powerful? Superman or Wonder woman?" Chery asked me curiously.

"Iron man" I said with grinned face.

"Hahaha, nice" he complemented me on my answer.

"I think the answer would be Thor, but I'll go with Wanda. She is insanely powerful." Somebody else answered. We both knew who he was, but we were still surprised. We looked at Amit, looking charming as ever, smiling at us.

"So you think Scarlett Witch can defeat Iron man? That's unlikely. He is a genius. He can take her down without any godly powers." I snapped back while trying to win the argument.

"And one more thing, nobody defeats Iron man" Chery screamed while controlling his emotions about Iron man, as hard as possible. It looked funny how passionate he was.

"I think, you win. Iron man is legendary. He can do anything" he surrendered. And I felt happy. I thought he surrendered because he didn't want to debate with me.

"But I think, answer to your real question has no answer. Wonder woman is a god and Superman is, you know..... Superman. They won't fight. End of the story." Amit got him.

"Hey, Amit. There is a new movie coming in theatre next weekend. Want to join us?" I invited him for a movie. It was always better to watch movies together with more than two friends.

"Why not?" He said, looked at me with a smile and left. And he turned back, looked at Chery and gave him a smile. Chery face lightened, his eyes were shouting with happiness. And I saw the spark between those two lovebirds. Early days, how magical they're!

"Stop staring at him so long, you might poke a hole" I returned his sarcastic comment he passed on me on the first day we met.

He looked at me & just smiled. He didn't snap back. He was clearly in love. How cute!

Now I knew the reason why he hangs out at the cafe so much. Classic Chery.

'When his eyes met halfway through his eyes, love sparkled,

Rainbows were drawn and moments passed on,

His lips wanted to say a lot things, but they chose to just smile,

He wanted to hear every word from those lips, but he just smiled back and moved on...'
