He was the centre of the room. Laughing. Joking. Talking. Surrounded by women.
She found him sexy. She could barely keep her hands to herself.
He turned towards her and asked her, "So, what's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done?"
"I sat on a camel once", She said.

They saw each other every morning. She always came early to office. He made sure he was there before her, just to get a glimpse of her.
She was wearing a green salwar today. Black bindi, her shoulder length hair tied in a ponytail, with a few wisps framing her face. Red lips and kajal.
It was all he could do. Stare at her till she got uncomfortable and increased her pace.
One day he would marry her he thought.
One day she would complain about him to the head of security she thought.
*****
He was lonely. She was lost. They should have met. They never did. She never found her way to him and he settled for someone else.

The whole town was in darkness and it was pouring cats and dogs. She left the house without a trench coat or an umbrella. She wouldn't need those things where she was going. Dressed in all black, she stood on lane no.55. waiting for her fate. A speedy car crashed into her. They died on the spot.
******
He sat on the wall waiting for her to come. She had promised she'd be there by 5 p.m. He knew she was late and that he should probably go now. He had anyway waited long. But he was not the one to give up so easily. He would wait for another 10 years.
******
"Why are you speaking to me! Why are you telling me all these things!" she screamed, "Don't you understand I am deaf?"
"Yes, and when will you realize," he yelled, "that I am not speaking to you?"
Theirs was a marriage.
*****
They met through common friends. She was lonely. He was desperate.
She liked him. He just needed someone, anyone.
He was the devil in disguise.
She thought he was god-sent.
