Ronnie was guilty as he usually kept his words....'what a a** i am... promised and slept..like a lazy bum'.
Somehow he wanted to set the things right.
Next day in college, he saw Riya.."Riya, can i speak to you for a moment.?" "What is it Ronnie, if you are here for an apology i am not interested.I told you i am not angry. But Riya listen to me once...." Ronnie pleaded."Lets go for a movie,please..".And to Ronnie's surprise Riya agreed. "But the movie is on me",Riya stared at him.
Something above was conspiring to bring them together,evening was perfect, Ronnie came to pick her and both went together to the movie theather.Riya was the host of the evening though Ronnie planned for it.It was going to be Riya's treat. Movie was great and it even bought them a step up on the staircase of the freindship they were standing at. But this was happening at some cost....emotions..
The night was drawing, both moved to a grab a quick bite and headed towards McDonalds, the burger joint Riya liked a lot. Conversations and laughter were growing endless and both were getting fond of each other quickly.
Ronnie felt it was getting late and he thought of borrowing his friend's bike living nearby.They decided to take a walk ,not hand in hands though, but the fondness of each others company was entwining at a rapid rate. It took few minutes for them to reach the place but the silence of the time, the moon in the clouds, conversations and the giggling stayed with the time..and may be for quite a long time.
Ronnie got the bike asked Riya to hop on so that he could take her back home safely.Riya was smiling....as she saw a new Ronnie today, someone she could trust and feel safe with.She never expected him to be so caring...and so concerned about her..Somehow the same Ronnie who made her so upset a while ago..was making her smile and that too without a reason.
Their day came to an end....but iwas thinking what are the ingredients of a perfect date are...a romantic movie,hot popcorn,someone sitting next to you,a beautiful smile,a munch, a walk on an empty lane and on top of it a long drive under the moon.
Wasn't everything there for them..preplaned, who did it? Riya or Ronnie or....
Just the realisation was left.....may be few things realised with due course of time makes a ever longing effect.....
