PART II
He had been taken back by the proceedings of the few minutes that he had spend with her and the shocking revelation about she being not able to talk, a day on and he was still thinking about it. He could not comprehend the fact that she could not talk and time after time was repeating a certain set of words in his mind, how can a beautiful girl like her not talk? He was still not convinced about the fact that she could not talk and hence decided to find it out if she really could not talk.
He was counting on the fact that she would be dropping in for lunch sometime soon and then he will find out the time when she is ordering about her not being able to talk. It was time for her to come in and he was waiting anxiously for her arrival because for him it did not matter if she could not talk but he was still curious about it.
Waiting was someone, that he was not good at but he was keeping himself all toned up for this day as he was not to let any chance go by that easily, at last she walked in with someone and to Ted’s surprise she was with another man.
It felt as if something broke inside Ted, but one thing was for sure that she was conversing with that guy in a sign language which for now was hardly any surprise for Ted. As they seated Ted himself went to take their order as he still could not believe his eyes that she could not speak and took their order. It was not that she could not speak was bothering him at the moment but the thing that was bothering him was who was the guy next to her, with whom she had walked into the café with. Could he be a friend or relative or someone more than it, was she is a relation, will being with her remain a dream that he had once dreamt in his life time. His head was buzzing with all kind of thoughts that were filling into it.
He waited for them to have what they had ordered and walked out after them as soon as they left the café. What was he doing was he stalking her, the inner Ted replied with a big no, he could just not let the fact soak in that she was already in a relation. As they crossed the street, she walked into a building with a sign on it that read “Capacity Building – For Dumb and Blind”. This for sure strengthened the fact that she could not speak but now the main question was that, is she in a relationship?
He did not know what to do, so he waited for her to come out of the building for starters and walked across to a bookshop across the road to keep an eye on her when she comes out of the building. It took her about half an hour to walk out of the building and to his surprise she walked straight into the book shop but the soothing thing for him was that she was all alone and that guy with whom she had walked into his café was not with her.
He was trying to stay close behind her but off a few paces from her so that they do not run into one another. She was busy in looking up for books of her liking and he was gazing her through the shelves because he did not want her to know that he was following her.
But then something happened that took him by surprise, for a moment he had lost her in the bookshop, as he took a sharp turn around a shelf he ran into her and they collided with each other.
The interesting thing was that she shouted at him,
‘Watch it will you’, he was perplexed by the fact that she could speak and left the place without saying something.
