We never know what our life and fate (lemme combine these two words in one and call it “lifeate”) has decided for us. We only see our present, react accordingly but our lifeate knows our future and for that different things, moments, situation comes across us in day to day life to teach a lesson every day.But, we being a cool and careless chap don’t care to see what lesson our lifeate wants to give us behind anything….. chod na yaar…kya funde de rha he….don’t take life seriously….aa chal…let’s have a beer,take the world and paint it red…
Well, that was jokes apart 
.Most of us believe that every thing is pre written and when such prewritten thing comes across or happens to us we feel Étranged Strange. One such thing happened to me today when I was shopping in a Garment store.
As most of you know that I am now engaged and behind this there was a big typical arranged marriage process which has five to six stages in total (Explanation of stages will come sometime in other post).So, two months back on a very fine evening of Sunday I met a girl with her parents at a coffee shop in Noida for the same purpose, meeting went well for both side but later on something didn’t worked so this chapter get closed and my process of arrange marriage again took U turn to start from stage one.
Today that this girl came across me in the same store when we were walking towards each other from the opposite direction (Face to Face) . In the very first glance I was not able to believe that she is the same girl to whom I met at that Coffee shop but to confirm that she is the same girl I looked at her cell phone which she was carrying with her (Actually, she has a very fundu cell phone, when I met her for the first time and got the chance to talk to her in private i.e. when her parents left us for a while to talk then the very first thing I said to her “Hey that is a very nice phone, which model it is?”) and got confirmed.
As we came closer we both knew that it is a situation in which we can not ignore each other, so, she smiled, so do I and I was asking my brain to tell her name. She was just three steps away before she say anything and I was still jolting my brain to give me her name. The moment she said “Hi!!” I said “Hello ######” (don’t think I abused her with that hashed word, I can’t reveal her name so it is mapped with hash character 
) and the conversation followed as mentioned below:-
######: Hello!!, You are…..
Me: Ankit.
Like all girls, she didn’t remembered my name (Girls, no offence please).
######: Ya, Ankit…so how are you?
Me: Well, I am pretty good, thanks, how you doing?
######: I am fine, just doing some shopping.
Me: Yes, I can see it.
######: So…..
Me: So….
An awkward situation in which both of us were fighting to find more words or to end the conversation. Thirty seconds passed with no further exchange of words with sharing of smiles towards each other along with one of the Lady Gaga’s track in background .Finally she broke the silence and out of curiosity she asked…
######: So, what’s going on at your end?
I knew what she means to ask but I said..
Me: Everything is going fine.
######: O.K. Good and what about your arranged marriage process? Is it still going on?
Now she came to the point.
Me: Well, No, Its over, I am taken.
######: Oh!! good….Congr8s… Best of luck for your new future life.
Me: Thanks!! and Best of luck for you too.
######: Thanks.
Now, it was time to end it….
Me: Ok, I hope every one is fine at your home. I didn’t thought we could come across like this. It was nice to see and talking to you again. I should take your leave if you don’t mind.
######: Ya, sure, I also didn’t expected it. Every one is fine at home and I hope the same at your side.
Me: Yes, they are. Bye.
######: Bye.
I moved to billing counter queue and thinking about what had just happened and why did it happened, what’s the purpose of it….with my eyebrows and shoulders lifted towards sky and lips making an expression of étrangeté I said… “Who cares about the lifeate lesson behind this…..let it go..” paid the bill and walked out the store.
Such situations are really strano and Lifeate bhi na pta nahin kab aur kahan kis se aamna samna karwa deti he.
