Today was a big day . Rajeev was going to be elected the head of the "Technical Department " at his company .In the last four months Rajeev had been working late hours . The perpetual neglection from his superiors and overtime had taken its toll on the man. But finally his hard work had paid off and with the change in the companies "Board Of Directors ", he was finally getting acknowledgement for his efforts and contributions .
So now there he was on his way on the metro platform . He was on the phone with his mother whose sole ambition seemed to be to remind Rajeev to get married. Rajeev's personal love life had been virtually non-existent these past four months. Earlier there had been a girl but it did not work out between them . As always Rajeev said he will find a girl soon and she should not worry. It was rush hour and he had to jostle his way out of the crowd. Someone jabbed him with his elbow but he continued forward and in broken strides went up to the platform. Suddenly he dropped his mobile phone. He bent to pick it up, straightened himself and put it in his blazer's pocket. His glance then reached the opposite platform and towards the person standing on it straight up front. His heart stopped as he looked upon the angel. The purest kind of beauty making the roses that she held pale in comparison. Her hair shimmering like silk. He felt as if his whole life had led upto this moment. She wore a formal dress of perfect proportions not too long and not too short. The perfectly chiseled legs resting on ankles adorned with beautiful sandals. She stood out from the crowd with her glowing skin with a scarlet blush in her cheeks. It seemed as though she was standing there for Rajeev to admire. The flowers that she held were so beautiful and fresh that Rajeev thought he could smell them. He imagined her smell more powerful than the roses. And her eyes, her magnificient eyes sparkled like the light at the end of a tunnel diffused by diamonds. And in that moment she lookedup, there eyes met. A smile formed on her red lips.
Rajeev had lived and now he could die for he had seen the most beautiful sight his eyes could ever wish to see. The metro-train arrived and it was like a curtain pulled between them. Rajeev frantically fell out of the starstruck state. He stood on his toes to get a look but in vain. The doors opened and people rushed in from the platforms into the train. Rajeev received several pushes but he wouldn't stop trying to get a glimpse of the girl as if it was the last thing he wanted to do in his life. Finally he was the only person left on the platform. Slowly the train started slipping away until it was out of the station.His eyes widened with joy as he saw the only person standing on the other platform. The look of anticipation on her face which slowly transformed itself to the most angelic of smiles.
