What made you recently say to yourself, “Wait. Really?”

He : So, are you seeing someone?

I was in an event in a management college of Gurgaon. I didn't knew the campus well. There was still some time left for the event to start. I was waiting for a speaker, who had invited me.

Let me tell you, this guy is already an MBA pass-out student and I'm just a Sophomore at my UG.

He : I don't understand why it's so hot and humid today.

By now, he was at least sure that I'm not the kind of girl, he's looking for. With the excuse of a phone call, he moved towards the auditorium.

Let's be a little serious. Is there any “Student of the Year” movie going on here in Delhi/Gurgaon colleges?

He : Yes, Monsoon month. What place do you stay in Delhi?

Then the friend whom he was with, he also went away to the canteen. Now, only this guy was there alone. Standing!

He : I'm 24.

Meanwhile, I was wondering from when did Chandigarh came in Madhya Pradesh? Maybe, I need to revisit geography of 10th standard again, or does he need it badly. Management, you know!

Me (smiling, hesitant but firm) : I don't think anything.

He : Tea ?

P.S. : The conversation above is filtered removing all the rubbish, “normal” slangs of metropolitan city's students.

Even in movies, you won't find any guy reaching out to a girl and asking for movies, drinks and chill at the first meet. The female character would literally slap such a guy (in movies).

He : Oh, great. I also live around. We stay very close. We can just catch up anytime.

How do scientists behave?

He : Then let's have some coffee

I was already blown that why being a 24 year old, he's being creepy with me.

Me : Sure.

Isn't it great that we have an incoming president who is embracing ideas from the past like manifest destiny? Isn't it greater that Trump is willing to get us more territory and land?

He : If you're free anytime let's catch up. Have some drinks!

He (smiling) : So, what do you think about me?

He : Oh. You know, I also had Eco major. We both stay in South Delhi. We both are single. So much similiarities. And you're pretty also. What do you do on weekends?

By now, I have already understood what he's trying to do. Still, I waited. So, I told him a place nearby to my locality.

He : Btw, you're really pretty.

Me : Because it's month of August.

Me : No. I am a resident of some other state. I'm here in Delhi for studies.

I sat there on the bench for a while. There was a boy standing by my side. Seemed an official, but maybe a management graduate. Offcourse well dressed (Cream shirt and black pants), offcourse smart, with a good accent and Delhi attitude (too much slang).

I am still confused that which nice guy in the world, asks a girl to meet for a movie at the first-ever meet?

Yeah, I can understand that you're exploring. You're another “Dora - The Explorer” from Delhi. So, you should also find girls who're just explorers like you. Keep playing DORA-DORA!

He : Cool. No, I'm not from this college. I'm the PR coordinator for their event. Are you from Delhi only?

Me : No

Short story writers, what is your favorite character you've created and do they appear in more than one of your works?

I just like staying by my own self, away from Dora–The Explorers. Genuine people are always welcome :)

He : Yeah. Getting. I have also been here for years now. But I'm fed with Delhi. I have lived in Mangalore. My family is from Chandigarh. Madhya Pradesh you know.

Me : I don't drink coffee also

Me : Ok. Although, I don't feel age has anything to do with the understanding and experience of a person.

I was feeling as if I was being flattered too much.

Me : No. I don't drink coffee, tea anything.

He : So, are you here just for the event? What college and course do you have?

He : Okay. Fine. We can just watch a movie. Have some fun. What's your age?

Me : Yes. I'm from Delhi University. Eco Major, 2nd year. Are you from this college?

I was alone there. Firstly, he came and kept his bag, and asked me that he's just coming. I said fine.

Me : I'm around 17 & You? (Don't take me literally)

Me (a little confused) : I don't know

Me : Thank you.

Me : I don't drink
