Coffee and Conversations❤️
Just like everyday, I went to Mocha near my home in the afternoon. It had been my mundane routine for past few months now-ever since I quit a well paying and respectable job of senior journalist with a leading magazine to write my book. Sometimes I wondered if the pledge was worth-taking but that I will save for another story.So I had barely settled into the corner-most sofa; my regular seat and plugged in the charger when i saw a young group burst inside the cafe. They announced their mood by the noise they made! 6-7 young adults, I think they worked in some office nearby and their boss must have been away or something.
Unfocused grown-ups", I grumbled to myself and started settling-in.Worse was they took a table right adjacent to mine, so I mentally prepared myself for a not-so-productive day at work.
Their order was big and their jokes loud so within a few minutes, I succumbed to mindless surfing and only to start typing after they left.
I was looking for a steward when I noticed her, the flamboyant girl from their group. Wearing a dark overcoat and smart boots, she looked chic. Her long hair perfectly accentuated her thin face, and for a second i thought she must be a model. But a look at her colleagues faces dispelled my assumption.
Anyways she was standing and looked the most animated. On a particular joke cracked by someone on their boss, i couldnt stop myself from laughing. Thats when she turned around and noticed me. Seeing me laugh at their lame joke, she returned back a senile smile.Rest of her group caught on our looking at each other and immediately hooted her. I hoaxed being immersed in my laptop once again, however my ears were glued to their conversation now. I heard one of the guys saying, Divya is becoming popular here also haa?Another one added, Divya also likes him, did you see the way she stared back?But the diva, oops Divya laughed at them to try and change the topic.
A steward who knew I was their regular came to me and asked, What will you have today Arjun sir? Your regular latte?
Now I am not a...
