Happiness, it greets you in the most unexpected ways.

It all began when I saw her for the first time near E Block in ITER. Those deep eyes with a big smile on the face bowled me over. She left me awestruck. She is this amazing, genuine, free spirit that simply mesmerizes people with her smile and laughter!

It took me 2 years to confess to her that I had a huge crush on her, and that too happened on Instagram.

I was so crazy for her that I thought of visiting her. But by then, she was in Bangalore, working in a private firm. I booked my tickets without giving it a second thought. And finally after a month of planning, I went to Bangalore.

We had never met in person before.

We had spoken to each other a couple of times over WhatsApp and Instagram and had made a few calls, back and forth, but that's about it. So I was really excited and was looking forward to meet her. I reached the hotel at around 7 in the evening. I kept pacing up and down as I waited for her. I had so many questions running in my head. But she was 2 hours late.

I was a bit disappointed and was also starting to get slightly irritated. In the mean time, I kept gazing up and down the street, looking into random cars, wondering if she was in any of them. And then, she called me and asked me to come down. Finally, I spotted her at a distance, walking towards me.

My heart started beating so hard and my mind went blank for a minute.

All my emotions translated into extreme nervousness and resulted in absolute chaos within my head. I was so nervous, I couldn't get a word across for the first couple of minutes. She was right there, in front of me, and all I did was stare shamelessly at her! All through the evening, I ended up doing a couple of clumsy things, owing to my nervousness, which I am really hoping she didn't notice.

The candle light dinner that I had booked went smoothly until I got high and f****d things up. It made her laugh so hard because I had no idea what I was doing. And that laugh on her face made my trip special.

I was on this amazing date and was having such an awesome time that I wished the day just went on and on.

Despite my drunken antics, the evening ended on a positive note and I hold the fondest memories of that day. The next day, we went for lunch followed by a movie, where she introduced me to her friends. We then went to the pub and the way she danced there, I just couldn’t stop myself from falling in love with her.

I wish those days could last forever. I know it sounds a bit cheesy but I just can’t get enough of how much I adore her. It’s infectious and it makes me smile.

That kind of dreamy sweep–you-off–your-feet kind of feeling that we all yearn for but most of us are too scared to experience.

I’m not going to lie- I did get a little teary after she went away. But I walked away from there with a satisfied smile on my face, happiness in my head, and a loving memory in my furiously beating heart. I'll be seeing you again my crush!

P.S., She is four years older than me and is in a relationship with someone since the past two years. And I adore them so much.
