It was a same old cold day in Chandigarh, India.
I was there for a week already but I just did not get used to the weather yet.
Everything was the same.
Woke up in the morning with my friend, had same breakfast everyday.
Went out to Career Matrix, a place where we were studying.
At the time, I remembered everyone there already.
The class began, there were only my friend and I as usual.
But suddenly, I saw a tall - good looking guy walked inside the class.
He said he was late.
I turned my face and looked at the mysterious guy.
He was tall, very tall. His skin was very white. His nose was big but it did not look ugly with him. In fact, it made him looks so adorable.
His lips were way sexy. And his eyes were too attractive.
I could not take my eyes off this guy.
He came and introduce himself to my friend, then me.
He was very polite and his voice was very low so I could not hear him properly.
I was talking with my friend in my own language about him.
My friend agreed with me that this guy is way too attractive.
I had a very hard crush on this guy.
I was too shy to turn and look at him even when he was sitting almost next to me.
Just that stupid chair between us separate us. I wish I could kick it away somehow.
I told my friend how much I am into this unknown guy. My friend was smiling as if he knows everything very well.
After the class was over, my friend went to introduce himself to that guy. I was only watching from behind. But we could not catch his name clearly becaust it was not our language and his voice was very low.
When the class began again, I was doing my work on my table alone. My friend went out to browse the internet and left me alone with that adorable guy in the class!
I was very very shy! I did not know what to speak with him so I just kept on doing my work quietly ...
"Excuse me."
... (Is there somebody saying something?)
"Hmmm ... Excuse me."
... (Me???)
I turned my face around the room, nobody was there except me ... and HIM!
"Oh yes!? You called me?" I asked him surprisingly.
"Hmm yes. Ahhh ... what's your name?" Again, his voice was too low so I could not hear! OH my God ... He is talking to me!?
".. Pardon?"
He moved closer to me and as I did too. "What's your name?"
Finally I catched his words.
"Oh, I'm Ki."
My name is weird. No matter which country I am in. I need to repeat my name at least twice.
"... What?" See, he really did not catch my name.
"Hmm, it is Ki. Spelling is K - I . But you can call me Gic too. According to my agency pronounciation anyway." I guessed I just gave him a huge confusion. His face said to me that he could not understand a thing about my weird name.
"Just call me Gic. Okay?" It is better go off that way.
He nodded his head slowly then I asked, "And what is your name?"
"It's Harpreet."
Think that I can catch his name?
Oh, HELL NO.
"Har .... what??" I felt like I am such a dumb ass. Why did I ask him such a stupid question!? Oh my God now he would hate me for ever!
"It's Harpreet. H-A-R-P-R-E-E-T." He repeated.
Unfortunately, he repeated it too fast so I could not understand a single thing excapt that H begins and end up with something. But to not make myself even dumber, "Oh okay. Nice to meet you."
That was how we know each other.
It was riddiculous how we just could not understand each other's name.
But, I think it was a good start for us.
And, NO, I still did not know his name until a week later.
Should we end up only this much?
Yeah, I supposed so.
