  'Ring, Ring', the alarm of Johnathan Kimberton's phone was ringing continuously as he was already late for his work. After ignoring the alarm for 5 minutes he realised what it was for and jumped out of his bed. He didn't have much time so he hurried up and was ready to leave in just 10 minutes. He was late so he had to buy his breakfast outside. It was like a routine, he was often late for work. He stood at the counter of a 'Takeaway' food store when he saw an stunningly beatiful girl walking towards him. He figured out her age to be somewhere around 25. He wanted to introduce himself to such a beauty but thought of it to be pervertness so he maintained distance. To his astonishment, she came over and asked him to pack a burger for her. Jonathan was a regular customer so he used to stand very close to the counter as if he was a staff, to get his food packed fast. Nobody minded it as he was a regular customer. Jonathan was at first astounded by her words but soon he realised that his standing close to the counter confused the girl so he told the staff to complete the order and requested to pay. Soon the girl realized that he was a customer himself and not a staff. She was a little embarassed. She apologized and introduced herself. Her name was Natasha but she liked people to call her Natty. Jonathan then introduced himself with an alias of Johnny. They gossiped untill their orders were ready to 'takeaway'. Both of them parted their ways hoping to meet again.

  Sitting on his work desk, Johnny wondered if he would meet the girl again. Johnny was 26 and single, even a virgin. He never had a girlfriend because he was too shy of girls. For the first time in his life, he had spoken to a stranger girl that too, for minutes. He finally believed that he liked her and that she was the 'one'. He promised himself that if he met her again in the next 2 days then that means they are destined to be together and that he would confess his love. It still sounded weird that a shy person like him fell for a girl at the first meeting. He was lost in his fantasies when the boss banged his desk and asked him to concentrate on his work.

  Natty took her breakfast and after parting ways with Johnny, she went towards the nearby park. She went in the park and grabbed a seat to have her breakfast. She was carrying a bag on her back with a water bottle hanging from it's side. As soon as she sat down, she remembered her meeting with Johnny. She herself never had a boy-friend or even a friend. She was an orphan and was brought up in an orphanage. She left the orphanage 6 years ago when she was 19. Yes, her age was 25 and Johnny got it perfect. She thought about Johnny for a long time and wondered if she likes him. She looked forward to meeting him again.

  Three days later, Johnny was sad that he didn't meet her again. He dreamt about his meeting with her every night since the first day but none of the dreams came true. Feeling sad and lazy, he again was late for work. So, he got up and dressed up lazily to go to work. For the last three days he used to deliberately wake up late in order to meet her at the 'Takeaway', but he failed everyday. She never showed up again. Today while collecting his breakfast, he remebered seeing her going towards the park and looked in the direction of the park. He then ordered one more sandwich and called his boss to tell him that he won't be coming today as he was sick. He then took the two packages and went to the park and grabbed a seat near the gate to make sure he sees her when she arrives. He thought of it as the only possibility to meet her again.

  Just as he was lost in his fantasies, his phone rang. It was his colleague, Akash. He called to check on his friend as soon as he heard from the boss that he was sick. Johnny told Akash that he has taken a leave to look for the girl he mentioned to him earlier. Just as he was smiling talking to his friend about the girl, he saw a pair of beautiful legs walking towards the gate of the park. His face lit up suddenly. He asked Akash to call back later and that she is here. He put away his phone and ran towards the gate.

  Natty was also looking forward to meet him in the last three days but till the time she used to reach the Takeaway, Johnny was already gone. She was also sad, so, today she didn't look for him and went straight to the park. She was astonished as well as happy to see Johnny running towards the park gate. She thought that destiny has finally made them meet again.

  Johnny reached the gate and moved his hand forward for a handshake panting on his breath. He was no runner so he was completely drenched in sweat after such a short run. Natty shook his hand smiling and said, "Here we meet again."
