When we met
"Love knows no language, its a language in itself. Words often fall short to explain what we feel for someone who means a lot more than they know". My write up was good and the crowd in the open mic was listening with a smile which boosted my confidence.

A regular, single guy talking about love was something that connected with people who had more or less experienced the same.

"Letting things go is hard when you realise that they are not meant to be yours no matter how hard you try because mutual feelings are what makes a connection. So, till you find someone who connects with your spark keep your hopes up and the love inside you alive."

My write-up ended with applause and a cheer from the crowd in the cafe.

Taking a seat near the bar, I ordered a drink and got so engrossed listening to others who had various things to share that I didn't notice someone taking a seat beside me until a small "excuse me" brought me to my senses and I looked back, only to be surprised by a girl sitting just next to me.

Short hairs flowing up to her shoulders and her hands encompassing a glass which was pretty much fresh.
A dark blue velvet dress added up to her looks and those eyes prevented me from saying something for a couple of seconds.

"Umm, hi," I said getting myself together.
"Ria", she said extending her hand.
"RV". I said shaking her hand.
And that's the name? she asked curiously.
I gave a smile at her comment and said, "Rahul."
"Heard you speak a few minutes back," she said. "I and my friends were overwhelmed by that small writeup."
"I am...glad," I said a bit surprised.

"We saw you all secluded so we thought if you would like to join me and my friends over there". She said pointing out to a table where her friends were looking at us.
"I don't know if that will be fine," I said with a bit of hesitation.
"We'll be glad," she said as she got up and signalled me to walk along.

Maybe it was just the timing or it was a signal but the speakers were playing " Perfect" by Ed Sheeran and it struck me differently.

I don't know if it was only me who noticed but her smile and the blush on her alight pink cheeks gave it out that she too was listening, and it did strike her too.
