Dare, she said.
Okay so you sure you’ll complete the dare?
What is the dare? , She asked.
Take me on a date.
Oh you are such a..She began.
Whatever it is I’ll take it as a compliment and no if’s and
but’s, I replied.
**
(The next day, she is driving to our date venue and has
asked me to not inquire about anything.)
It will be my style, she said.
I've always loved your style, I said in my mind.
We reached the venue in next 10 minutes.
So this is it, she said.
We stepped out of the car, The sun was setting and the wind
blew her hair to her face which she was flipping again and
again gracefully behind her ears and giving me privilege to
look and admire at almighty's best creation.
A cliff and it is quite lonely here, what is your intention
madam??
You'll know it and I told you it was going to be my way.
Close to nature is better than any crowded coffee shop or
restaurant, she said.
That means you wanted some alone time with me?
No, I mean it’s a dare and I thought I should not complete
the dare just as formality, she said and tried to avoid eye
contact.
I sat on her car bonnet and said,’I have told you, you’re
pretty bad at lying.’
I've got something; I'm hungry what about you?
Swiftly changing the topic as always she pulled out a small
paper bag from her back-seat.
I brought my favorite food for us, she said and also joined
me on the bonnet or our couch for now.
I laughed and said,’ If you were the host you should have
got my favorite dish idiot.’
Don’t you enjoy my favorite dish? , she asked.
Oh, I enjoy everything with you Miss beautiful, I said.
Yeah Mr. Flirt, she said.
I don’t flirt with you I wanted to tell.
She started to tell about how was her day and we were
having her favorite dish with coke.
I was wondering what if she just stays quiet for a while; I
would ask her where this is going?
What if I had asked you to stay quiet for 10 hours in dare?
Like you would have killed me, I can’t go an hour without
speaking, she said.
And I smiled.
We laid comfortably on the bonnet now.
Its cold she said rubbing her hands together I'm missing
coffee, she said.
Should we go back?
No, this place is amazing I can wait for coffee, she said.
Hmm, I said.
She smiled and we fell silent she was looking at the sky and I
was looking her.
What, Look at that cloud what is it? , she asked on noticing
that I was looking at her.
I don’t want to know, I replied.
She looked at me.
Is your humor bank left with no joke, why aren't you saying
anything?
Why are you not talking today?
I don’t know, she said.
Maybe silence is having more things to say, I said.
Is it?
I can’t hear what silence is saying.
Deaf, I said.
Explain, she said.
You want to hear what the silence says ?
Yes, she said.
I moved closer to her.
Took her hands in mine. She was surprised but did not
protest I entwined my fingers with hers.
Moved little more close, I could hear her breath. She was
nervous and more than her I was. I had not planned what I
have to say, I was blank, I only had sense of her hands in
mine.
I gathered all my courage and looked up in her eyes. She
was looking at me.
I smiled and then putting an end to the cyclone of thoughts
in my head I said,
“It says that how cunningly you make me weak and every
time you are around I lose my control.
And today this ambiance and you with your silence just
gave me opportunity and courage to speak that with every
passing second I'm falling for you.
Your kindness, stupidity, over reacting, craziness, innocence
with everything that you think is not good but actually is
best.
You forget it every time all I want to do is hold your hands
for forever and walk by your side reminding you each
second how special you are and how special you will be.”
I couldn't believe I actually said it.
The next moment I saw her looking down and smiling no
actually blushing.
Hey, I said.
I had starting jumping in my head because if a girl blushes it
won’t mean no.
She didn't answer but just hugged me tight.
Am I dreaming?
No, You got it right and truth and dare has been and will
always be my favorite game, was all she said.
And that October sunset witnessed my most memorable
date of life.
