It was our school's annual class party. Ours was a big function, and there were lots of students, those who were about to pass and get into college and those who had graduated. It was a get-together with old and new students. And so our teachers arranged a large party to celebrate the golden jubilee of the school. It was at a renowned five-star hotel. And by the looks on her exterior, I can't express how expensive it would have been.
Although I was reluctant to go, I was literally forced to go there. Because my mum thought it would help me socialize with others. Anyway, there I was wearing a shirt with black and white stripes on it. To blend in with my shirt, I wore black sneakers and black jeans. I would say I was dressed neatly. It was a completely awkward kind of scenario, as I was standing in a corner all alone. I didn't want to talk to anyone, and to be honest, even if I wanted to, I was uncertain about how to proceed with interactions. My friends were enjoying themselves at the party. Although they called me in, I refused because I was feeling uneasy and uncomfortable.
And in that moment of restlessness, I saw her walking through the door. She was wearing an off-white skirt, which was a stunning contrast against her flawless beauty. The pearl necklace and the slightly golden shoes truly enhanced her beauty. She looked like a modern-day princess. She was greeting everyone with a smile and gracefulness. I was awed by her radiant spirit and her mesmerizing look. Time freezed itself around me as I looked upon her. And I didn't realize that she saw me observing her, so she turned her eyes on me and gave me a beautiful smile. With a graceful gesture, she swept her fingers through her silky black hair, pushing away the strands that had draped across her face. Ladies, these things, these minor things, are more than enough to melt the toughest of the souls. The way she smiled after looking at me and gently swayed her hair away, it was a heart melting moment. And on that day and in that very moment I realized that she was a wife material.
The ambience of the hall was brought to life by the colorful display of decorative lights that hung from the ceiling. Together with the combination of vibrant colors and a selected playlist of slow music, it effortlessly set the mood of the individuals present at the scene and elevated the atmosphere. Each of the lights was placed in a certain way, not just to illuminate but also to show the artistic view of light and shade.The size of these lights varied in accordance to their purpose and shape, there was a wide collection of choices available, from the small fairy lights that delicately twinkled like stars on the wall, to larger pendant lamps that cascaded their glow onto the floor. There were some expensive fancy lights and decorations that truly enhanced the beauty of the hall and the ethereal quality of the environment, like a dreamy wonderland brought to life from books.
And, in this fairytale-like atmosphere, I was in a different mood and in a different swing. I kept on looking at her as she went towards her friends. But my heart and mind were fixated on that particular moment when she swept her fingers through her hair. It was a sensation of overwhelming cuteness and priceless beauty. In my heart and mind, that very moment replayed over and over again, like a scene in a romantic film. I could feel the same combination of emotions, all running within me, just as if it had when it unfolded in real-time. While everyone else was wearing expensive necklaces and heavy makeup, she looked flawless in her simplicity. I guess it was unique to her.
As the evening went on, I decided to stay back. I won't lie, although I initially wanted to leave as quickly as possible, because I was uncomfortable, I decided to stay now. I just wanted to stop the time and stay there. One can say that I found myself lost in a fantasy world, reliving that moment in my mind over and over again. It was as if time had momentarily stopped, and I was stuck in a dream-like state where she was my only reality. I could see my life getting complete with her. Trust me, I could live in that moment throughout the rest of my time. I should say a few words in her honor;
"The way you swept your hair,
Melted my heart down,
And I wished I had seen you
Wearing a wedding gown.
The moment I saw you in that dress
I noticed a fact that I couldn't suppress
I see you not as my crush no-more
But as my future wife, in this folklore."
But in this magical moment, I was caught up with something. Deep inside my mind, a question was circling around. I wondered if she saw me and noticed me, observing her and admiring her beauty. Maybe she sensed my feelings for her. My head was filled with mixed thoughts. Does she know that her presence sparked a fire within my soul? What does she think of me? Is it a test of destiny?
As the party finished and all of us went home. I was still consumed by her elegance and how she swept her fingers through her silky black hair. On my way back, the sky was illuminated by thousands of stars, all of which seemed to be shining a little brighter, and the world around me took on a magical turn. I just couldn't help but replay the moments in my mind. Those who are reading this, you won't get the idea of how special this moment was. The way she smiled at me, with her dimples curling, it was a super sweet scene. As I mentioned to you before, this is the time I knew she was the one I was looking for. And I want to spend the rest of my time with her.
