A Girlfriend? - Prologue
Chin up, steady gaze, focus on her eyes and the way she talks.
The day has been full of surprises for Anuj. He thought of the Butterfly Effect, and the way his stars aligned to make this day possible. He was sitting facing the girl of her dreams, her beauty beaming through her gaze, overflowing the scene with a serenity he had never experienced before.
Zara had always seemed way beyond his league. But to meet her after so long, he wondered if this is all a dream. Do all girls look so amusing and graceful? Or is it her eloquent elegance that made other girls seem lesser still?
Yet, there was one question that rung in his mind. It was a glimmer at first, but now it acquired the dimensions of an inconvenience, ricocheting against the poles of his conscience.
"You should say it. After all, it would be all for nothing if she catches a whiff later. What are we even doing here? Go on, say it. Say it!"
And off came the words as if prised out by the divine intervention of someone operating at a different plane than humans.
The die had been cast.
Zara looked surprised. Did she hear it alright? Or is it the noise?
"I'll say it again, Zara. Will you be my girlfriend, on rent?"
Are you surprised?
