I was waiting for Saturday to arrive. And it arrived. I was ready to leave the house from noon. But I had to wait until 2pm to leave.
I wore my best professional as well as beautiful dress and left.
I reached the coffee shop early. I grabbed the table and started waiting for him. He came on time though. He grabbed his cellphone and called me. I received the call, and waved my hand to show him my location. He kept the cellphone back inside and started walking towards me. I was continuously giving him a smile.
"Hi" I welcomed him.
He grabbed a chair and said "Hi Miss".
"What would you like? Hot coffee?" He asked.
"No. Cold coffee for me." I replied.
"Anything else?" He insisted.
"No. Coffee is enough." I answered.
He reached the counter, placed an order and turned back, reached the table. I was so excited, I wasn't able to concentrate properly. He wasn't present there, but I could feel his presence by my thumping heart.
"So, Miss. He read your letter." He started to share the information.
"Really? It's unbelievable." I replied with big smile.
"Actually he wasn't around when we received the letter. And they were stored in a pile of boxes. You're lucky that his PA found them and read. She is very close to him, so she showed him those letters." He said.
"So, did he read it?" I asked unbelievably.
"Yes. He did. And he is curious to meet such a girl." He smiled.
"He wants to meet? Me?" I stopped believing his nonsense now.
"So, I'm here to arrange a meeting. If you are fine with it, I can make the plans ahead." He explained.
"Wait. Let me think a little."
I stopped for a moment to breathe and asked, "How can I believe you're saying the truth? What if you take me somewhere and something inappropriate."
"It's up to you Miss. Nobody is forcing you. And also, the reason of all the secrecy is because of his safety and image. If media finds out that he is meeting random girl, they will start making unbelievable stories. So we want to do it quietly." He spoke with firm voice.
"So, what's the plan exactly?" I finally gave in and asked.
"You can share details of your whereabouts to your trustworthy friend or family member. The car will pick you today evening from your house and will drop you the location. You can contact me anytime you want.", He explained.
"Fine. But why can't you come along with me?" I asked. He seemed familiar and nice.
"No Miss. I'm not available in the evening. The driver will drop you at the location."
"Hmm. Hmm. Fine." I made a serious look on my face. I was actually very scared. What if anything bad happens. Even if my family knew I was going somewhere, and how would they save me. My game would be finished until they would reach.
We received order by then.
"Why don't you drink some coffee and release some tension?" He tried to make me feel better.
I lifted the cup and started drinking the coffee. It helped a little. We didn't talk much after that. We finished our drinks, said goodbyes and left.
I reached home, it was almost 5pm. I had to leave at 8pm. I didn't have much time to get ready if I decided to go.
I checked through my wardrobe. I never bought anything to meet someone that high profile ever. Though my wardrobe was filled with stylish clothes, I couldn't decide what to wear. Something hot, something pretty and ethnic or something stylish but comfortable. I decided to wear comfortable and stylish clothes. And also I decided to go. If I get killed, it would be for love.
I told my sister that I am going on camping trip with my friends and started to get ready. I didn't even put too much make-up. I wanted to be totally myself. Only fancy thing I used was the perfume. I love the fragrance. It soothes my heart. I got ready and took a look at myself in the mirror. I was looking exactly myself, nothing fancy or splashy or vulgar. I grabbed my bag, wore my favorite boots and went towards the car waiting for him.
I got inside the car, called the man I met in the afternoon, and told him I had started. He hung up the phone and called the driver. He instructed him some things. Only words I understood from that conversation were 'yes' and 'hmm', driver saying. Finally they had done talking and we left on my journey of the wildest night I ever encountered.
