She looked at herself in the mirror after struggling to put on the wedding dress. Her eyes were moist. The door opened. He looked smiling at her with the same love he had when he had proposed to her. He carried her walking to the mandap. The accident had crippled her just before the wedding. P.S - another attempt at  55F :)

He was busy coding. One more hour of work and he would call it a day, actually night! He glanced at the clock - 7pm. Almost everyone had left for the day in his bay. As he was looking forward to the solitude hour, his intercom rang. He picked it up and even before he could say hello, a girl's voice - " Connect to the International bridge ". All he could this was - What a voice! Even before he could say anything, the girl again said(shouted) - "International Bridge, can you connect fast. Am late for the call". Without thinking, he routed her  number to the Operator and kept down the phone. He glanced at the computer screen but only the voice kept ringing in his mind! Finally her call got over. She had got late in her 1st call itself. Damn the Operator for taking so much time to dial the number. Already it was tough to handle the project work and finally she had got a chance to talk to Clients, that too on the day she reached home earlier(7pm). It was almost 2 we...

He stared at the stars up in the sky very confused. This was not supposed to be like that! Was it? Lying in the mattress in the terrace of his friend's house, he could not understand why he was here instead of going down and talking to others. He turned and looked at his phone. The battery had to die now only! He closed his eyes and slowly started thinking. She was his friend, that's it. But then why did he miss her so much. It was just a weekend. Monday he would be back and they would meet as was their routine. Her smiling face kept popping in his head. They had met almost 2 years back through a common friend. Being in same company and location, gave them enough opportunities to meet and slowly they became close of friends. They had soon formed a close gang of friends, who regularly met which was sometimes daily if all were in same work place! The daily talks had continued with chats almost whole time and most weekends meetup with the gang. But then she was also a...

He kept looking at the door wondering when she will be coming? He glanced at the watch and then at the door. It was already 3pm. She is normally in by this time. He had already bought his weekly groceries. The only thing he needed now was time before she came.  Just as he was losing his patience, she walked in to the store. His heart skipped a beat looking at her ever smiling face. She looked around and took the basket to do her shopping.  She was wearing pink top and jeans, his favorite! He tried to act as if he was shopping and went behind her. He knew her routine well by now. The order in which she picks up her groceries and then admires those chocolates and flowers in the entrance while the billing is being done. He never had the courage to talk to her. Many times she would have passed him. Each time he would freeze as if some one shot him! It was already 4 months since he saw her first, during one of the friend's party. The moment she had walked into ...
