A Random Stranger

Djinns – Hyatt Regency

It was my birthday and a day before that I broke up with my boyfriend, my life. I had given 5 years to that relationship and more than that my heart and soul. But as most good things come to end so did this. I was in no mood to celebrate my 26^th but just wanted to be alone at someplace where nobody knew me.  I was sitting at a corner seat with my LIIT watching people dancing and enjoying while wondering what went wrong with my relationship. How things took such an ugly turn when he meant the world to me. Suddenly a tall, handsome looking guy asked me something. I was too lost in my thoughts to comprehend what he just said. He again asked if he could occupy the seat next to me as he wouldn’t mind some company. I wondered what good my company could possibly be to him, I myself was a wounded soul. I nodded in affirmation and he took the seat. Little did I knew that my life was about to change, move onto a new path that very moment.

After few minutes of silence he asked me what was bothering me. I was taken aback how he got to know that something was wrong. Was I looking that depressed and all such questions crossed my mind. Something in me wanted to tell him every little detail of things that I was feeling, somehow I knew he would understand but I didn’t. I kept silent. He said never mind I will tell you my story. He started with his childhood, his friends, his first crush, his first girlfriend, his likes, his dislikes, his fantasies, his profession and what not. Listening to him felt like someone was telling me my story. I could connect to every single world he said. It felt like I had lived that life too. It was getting late and he asked my permission to leave. I asked, what I should call him. He replied “A Random Stranger” would do and left.

From that day onwards I visit this place every Saturday in hope to see you again for once. If ever I get a chance I would love to tell you what those few hours with you meant to me. I could see a part of me in you. If there are soul mates then you are mine. I found you and still I lost you. I pray every day that I bump into you once again.”

Oh.. It is 6:00 pm. My mother is home. She is a psychiatrist and as per her I suffer from schizophrenia. She is mad at me as I have not taken my medicines from past 15 days. She thinks you don’t exist. That you are just in my head and not in real. But I know the truth that you are real. I have faith that you are also looking for me and we will meet one day. My Random Stranger we will meet one day right ?
