Love at first sight

After waiting for a long time in the queue, the bus arrived and Alisha boarded it. The bus was very crowded. So she moved to the front end of the bus and quickly occupied a vacant seat. Another college girl also came by and sat next to her. Then Alisha noticed a handsome teenager who had also boarded from the same bus stop, also came to the front end of the bus and occupied a seat that was a little ahead of the seat where Alisha had been seated.

He was fair, tall, and handsome but apparently seemed younger than Alisha. He had worn a white T-shirt and blue pair of jeans and seemed quite decent.

That boy was constantly looking behind where Alisha had been seated. She was now getting very conscious and avoided looking at this boy.

When the bus halted at the next stop, an aged woman boarded the bus. This boy offered her a seat. In a couple of minutes, the boy also got a seat but constantly turned to have a look at Alisha.

She was impressed of that boy’s courteousness of offering a seat to that old lady. As the bus journey continued, she began liking him. Thoughts rushed into her mind,”Does he know me by any chance? Should I talk to him? Are we going to meet everyday in the same bus? Do I like him? Is it love or just infatuation?”

The bus halted at the stop prior to the final destination and the girl seated next to Alisha got off from the bus. As the bus started to move slowly, Alisha noticed that the girl smiled at this boy and the boy also smiled back.

It was then she realized that the boy must have known that girl and that he was interested in that girl and not in Alisha.

The final destination came and the bus halted. Alisha thought that the guy might look back at her but he didn’t. Nothing happened the way Alisha had thought. He alighted from the bus and disappeared in the crowd and Alisha’s eyes kept looking out for him.

  1. well this was a lil cliched. Maybe I didn't like it much only coz i don't believe in such a thing as "LOVE AT SIGHT".

    Hope you don't mind the criticism :P

    Cheers
