Avni's P.O.V

Our fate was decided in two meetings, first when our families met and found us perfect for each other. Second, when we met alone and felt otherwise.

Neil liked sports and mointains, I didn't. I liked continental food and western music, he didn't. He was stingy, i wasn't. I was goofy, he wasn't. As we walked out of the cafe, we noticed two kids, poles apart, at loggerheads with each other. We wondered if they'd ever blend together.

We kept meeting on several occasions. He'd suggest thai while I'd suggest italian but we'd rather end up at an indian restauant when we'd hear of a new dish in town. On some days he'd talk bout Yuval Harari while I'd talk bout Austen yet we'd end up at the same library that'd house a plethora of Elizabethan books. He'd told me later why he did that...

Neil: u know why i went there with u?

Avni: why?

Neil: bcuz u wanted to read Shakespeare. By the way why u went there with me?

Avni: bcuz i liked how u fancied it's medieval interior.

Clumsily one night, i dropped a plate at a party andd stomped on someone's foot while dancing. While i stood there embarrassed, he cracked a joke to lighten the situation. Everyone laughed, i didn't. On our way back, we stopped at a florist where he bought me a few pink roses.

Avni: i thought u didn't like flowers.

Neil: i don't but i've seen u fancy them. Also they weren't expensive, he murmured. I smiled...

Avni: i heard that.

Neil: great

Avni: u know we're two enormously different journey's that ended up crossing paths. And yet we gel, do u know why?

Neil: umm...maybe it's bcuz we're two journeys vying for the same destination.

Avni: maybe. But we're like chalk and cheese. They don't blend like us or we don't like them.

Neil: maybe chalk and cheese r not meant to blend. Maybe they're just supposed to walk alongside each other. Maybe we're not each other's better halves but two wholes who complement each other.

He smiled, i pondered. I suggested we take the metro home, he suggested an Uber. A bus came along and we hopped on together. The bus jerked on hitting a road bump and we leaned on each other. Outsides, we saw the two kids, no longer at loggerheads.

Neil: Guess they worked it out

Avni: I shrugged as i smiled....guess they weren't  as different after all

Neil: like us

Avni: yeah
