They first met on a Bangalore bound train.
Freelancers on a project.
She was just out of a breakup, elated to travel alone...
He was a junkie;
Randomness was routine for him.
He slept a lot, almost throughout; like a baby...
Which she sneak peeked to see and blush.
She watched back to back movies on his laptop.
But still those 16 hours were fun...
Sharing food...
Caring in small ways...
Gaming...
And lots of fun talk.
Something in his eyes caught on to her mysteriously....
The way He said 'I love you' to His girl had laid a spell on her....
His sense of humour had kept her in giggles throughout.
The man was just trying to charm her to have some fun later.
But she was naive....
Out of a traumatic relationship, she was just too gullible.
She understood no tricks.
He succeeded...
Got what he was trying so hard for.
But, she lost....
Silly she....
She thought it was LOVE.
After all she dint know what Friends with Benefits meant.
All she knew was u make love when you actually LOVE!!
After this episode she separated the words Love n Sex...
A silly theory out of nowhere to not get physical with the person she liked to make sure there is no mix up of emotions...
She thought she nailed it here...
She thought she had found the sure shot formula of happiness and singledom...
Silly she...never found out why she could never be happy again...
One night stands with strangers who's name she wouldn't remember the day after...
She wondered y she was up unhappy inspite of waking up with a different man every morning...
She had flings with men she was sure she'd never fall in love with.
Silly she...
She never let the guy that genuinely cared for her to even hold her hand...
Ultimately randomness became her way of life...
It was a contagious thing...
Junkies creating junkies...
Silly he silly she and silly all others that caught it...
Silly reality....
Some tales aren't that silly...
