First Man To Touch My Soul
Before the story let me introduce myself, I'm 26 years single mother of a 9 years old son. Although I was married, Divorced , and all No one was close to my heart. I never understood the Love one can have for other. I basically didn't understand the love between man and a women.
It was just another normal day , I was sitting at home with my only girlfriend waiting for her man to come pick us up to go for a short drive. I wasn't expecting anyone else to join us for that ride but there was this man who didn't even wanted to hello. My friends husband introduced him as his childhood friend, Suraj. We said hi and that was it. Listening to old Indian music we reached the top of the hill we stood there for few minutes overlooking the beautiful city light and moon & stars in the sky. He was wearing mask on and I wanted to make conversation as my friend and her husband was on distance all I could say was ; you know its fresh air it won't harm you to take off the mask and breathe through the natural air, he took the mask off but we didn't made any more conversation than that. It was time to get back as my friends husband had somewhere to be. It was 30 minutes drive back to my house and that time went by just listening to the music and getting my head out from the sunroof. I wasn't impressed by him at all that day ; I thought he was arrogant prick who wouldn't even say a proper hello. Anyways that evening was over ; My friends man dropped me and my friend to my place. We went home had dinner and the day was over with a good night sleep.
My friend Poojaa she was a second women of that man; I never liked that relationship and I would never understand her love towards him. I always thought ; they have the relationship because they both are gaining something out of each other. I don't still understand how can a man be in Love and also with 2 women. She was amazingly in love with him, I myself never had felt that kind of feeling where she believed every word of him , tolerate every torture she would get from his wife, yet she was just happy to be with him whenever he can make time for her. I hated that man to not be able to choose her for me he was just after her beauty and her intelligence. She was my only friend so I had to eat a humble pie For her happiness I would hold back on my Thoughts and show him a lame respect. As of me now writing we are no more friends but I can understand her love. It took me to fall for a man to Understand Love is real and you can actually see no bad side of the person you Fall for.
Now going back to my story, As Pooja was guest at my home and she came to spend some time with her man , God she took this 14 hours bus to meet him and he was so stuck with work or what not he would only come to see her once a day and the first ride was their meet after 3 days at my home without seeing him. She was so excited on the last drive to see him but she only saw him for an hour a drive to the hill and back. She told me my man is going to take us out for dinner , we finished our work and we got a car honk at around 5 pm , we were ready so we locked up and straight to the car . Guess what the man with the mask on was there too. My first thought was does he really have to be here with us; eating a humble pie again I said Hi. He sat in the back seat with me so that my friend can have her place with her man as he was driving the car. All the way up we had no words with each other . We went to this place hillside restaurant which was famous for local dried meat. We sat on the table as my friend needed some time to chitchat with her man I used to be a heavy drinker back then so I asked the +1 (Suraj) So what would you like to drink as the silence was being awkward yesterday I started the conversation. He turned out to be a savage replier, non-smoker , non-drinker; on the way along while attacking each other with words there was a point where he smile , God his Tooth . He had a vampire Tooth on one side and he looked so Darn handsome. It was the first time I saw him smile and that was it, I wanted to see his smile just to look at his vampire tooth. His smile was so addicting. I wanted to see it again and again, so I stared to be funny just to get that smile out of him. Dinner was over and I was hoping to stay there as longer as possible. Anyways I played the I don't care type. We got the bill; Poojas man covered it, and as they were having this conversation where he was explaining he has to go home but she was saying; you haven't given me any time since I arrived. I asked Suraj: You Drive , let them sit in the back seat and carry on with this topic. I sat on his side picking music and making silly conversation. Half way back I figured the silence in the back, I got the idea they need some time alone as talking openly in presence of us might have been uncomfortable. So, I asked Suraj ; can we make a smoke stop and he stopped the car. We went out in the hill and he got me a smoke, and went for loo. I was standing and enjoying the night view of lake and city, he came back and a soft touch in my back, For the first time a man's touch wasn't indicating any alarm in my mind, no Negative felling at all. I was attracted to him but I have a lot of baggage's in the past so I left the feeling aside and didn't said a word. The night was over when we got dropped back home.
I had this dream of him in my arms. God I realized I was really attracted to him and the smile. Next morning I had this feeling that we might meet again today as it has been regular 2 days of meeting the man. I couldn't ask my friend about him , I didn't wanted to weird. Anyways I asked my friend where are we going today or should I start cooking dinner; she replied: He will take us to the Begnas Lake for Grilled fish dinner. Well I got my best dress on , couldn't say a word out loud but I was hoping he will also come along. Tada ; there he was with another man that was going with us for the dinner , This time we were 5 of us , We reached the destination and as the fish used to he huge one will be enough for 2 people. It turned out Pooja's man and the another stranger were doing business together and as he was in our city he invited him for dinner and he was pure Veg. 2 grilled fish some salad and all I cared about was beer. 2 fished on sharing basic so I was told to Share the fish with Suraj. Fuck I was already tipsy ; I said to Suraj man just have the fish I am already a bit drunk to separate the fish. He unexpectedly kept feeding me the fish and the salad and other food as I was drinking. He was really sweet that evening, we finished the dinner and I was on the back seat with my friend & her man I was drunk and All I did was asked him to open the sunroof so I can enjoy the peace, well he did I was standing there , the road was bumpy , suddenly he reached out and hold my hand. God , when he hold my hand I felt so warm so loved and so safe like never before. It felt like home. He did hold my hand all the way back till dropping the other man off the car. When he was off the car I took the front seat with him and hold his hands all the way back till they dropped us off.
We got home Pooja & me , this feeling I had was only with me I didn't shared it with her or anyone else. I felt like that moment when he hold my hand was so different it was not sexual touch it was just a warm touch and a feeling of I am here for you. I fell in Love. I was touched but not only physically him holding my hand was when he touched my soul.
