Cinderella Revamped

‘Cinderella wait’, was the call from the charming prince but she didn’t. The only thing that was running in her mind was that she should leave the place by 12 else the wish granted by the fairy would lose its power. She ran from the place, but the prince somehow got her shoes and the next day after a big search he found the exact leg for the shoe and it was Cinderella. They were married and lived happily thereafter. Wow! What an amazing fairly tale I said to myself after I completed reading. There are even people who can get beautiful girls just by finding the right leg for the shoe he got. Hmmm may be certainly that too if your time is really good, and moreover if you are smart, suave and on top of that if you are really blessed. But what about those remaining guys like me. Are we cursed? No it’s just that we aren’t blessed. Grrr… that again conveys the same meaning. Ok whatever be it, I’m not going to lose neither my hope nor confidence in finding my Cinderella.
Right from my teenage, till now I’ve done all the possible stunts and buffoon behaviors just to get these beautiful girls attention. But to be frank not even at single instance it has worked out well for me. It was during my 11th standard; as soon as I came out of the tuition I got into my cycle and started to drive it in a way even a clown driving in ‘Raj kamal Circus’ would have stood for a moment and admired me. I never used to hold the handle bar while driving my cycle rather used to comb my hair with my hands trying to get attention. There was this beautiful girl from my tuition who drove along with me, told something and went in a flash. Before I could ask her what she said I found myself in a ditch. Hmmm this is where inside the ditch I realized that she said “Watch out, there is a ditch on your way”. Grrr… I won’t forget her; she was the first one who ditched me.
My college life was a little better I should say. It was during my second year of college life and as usual I was having tea alone sitting in the canteen. It was a corner table with two seats meant especially for couples that’s what these people have framed. A junior girl of mine came towards me and asked “Excuse me…” before she could complete I took the advantage and told her to take the seat as I don’t have any objection. Oh my god what a beauty so pity not have a seat for drinking even a cup of tea was the way I thought. But she retorted saying “Excuse me brother do you mind giving this table for me and my boy friend”. Yeah yeah again wearing the same clown mask I replied back “Of course sister that’s the least possible thing I could ever do” and I moved away from that place. Well this was my second encounter but the first one was the highlight.
I couldn’t able to forget the incident that happened, but I’m glad that there was no one present in the canteen at that time because it’s about my respect and image. My mom always used to torture me for accompanying with her for purchases. There was one big supermarket near to our place and when I once found that there are good looking babes coming to that place I never said ‘No’ to my mom. It was a Saturday and more than usual the supermarket was flocked with lots of people especially young girls with their moms. When enquired it was for the exciting offers they had put. There were almost 75-100 good looking girls and there was this offer running in my mind “Beautiful offers (babes) hurry offer valid only till stocks lasts.” I had put the iPod and was wearing coolers so as to make sure that no one knew who I’m looking at. I asked my mom to carry her shopping and I was waiting near the billing counter. I felt someone tapping my shoulders, I turned back and I saw a nymphet standing there. Oh my god I can feel 1000’s of violins being played, angels in white dress rounding her up, rose’s downpour and I’m floating 2 feet above the ground. She asked me something having a blue plastic bottle in her hand. I removed my ear phones to hear what she had said. She again asked “Is this scrubber free with this Harpic”. “What” I yelled at her, her face turned small and she turned back and whispered to her granny saying “Poor Guy he can’t able to hear properly.” Her granny in turn shouted back at me saying “Is this scrubber free with this Harpic toilet cleaner” which got almost everyone’s attention. I can’t take this anymore and told her that I’m not a sales person and even I’m a customer. Instead of asking sorry the old women made fun of me saying why I’m wearing the same color t-shirt which even the sales guy was wearing.
All this while she was standing behind her granny and was laughing to the maximum extent. I disappeared from that place after this catastrophic disaster. This was my third encounter and I couldn’t ask for more. After this incident I made sure that I didn’t wear that t-shirt at any cost. A few days later I had been to footwear showroom where I saw her for the second time. She was trying different kinds of slippers, and I directly went towards her and was about to say “Excuse me, look I’m not a sales man working here as well, so please….” But as soon as I started “Excuse me...” she didn’t even lift her head and replied back saying “Can I get size 7.” Dishoom was the sound heard in the back ground; it was like digging my own grave by paying advance. I didn’t move from that place rather stood still there until she looked at me. She immediately said “I’m really sorry, I never thought you are working here, I mistook you as a salesman working in that super market” I couldn’t resist that, everywhere she is taking for granted that I’m a salesman. “Listen you’ve mistaken again, I’m not working here as well.” She burst into laughter and even apologized for her misunderstanding.
Before she was about to leave from that place she called me and wanted to tell something, I thought man now I have a chance. She said “Tomorrow I would be going to the Coffee shop in RK road, so…” before she could complete I thought she wanted me to join her, hmmm things can work out well after misunderstanding as well. But as usual I was wrong; she completed that by saying “so please don’t be there, so that I won’t again confuse you as a waiter working there.” No comments, can it get better than this. “Mam can you update this sheet with your name, contact number and address, so that we can revert back once we get size 7” was the call from the REAL salesperson this time. She did as asked and went off giving me a smile. Oh My God, that was so beautiful that, I wanted to compare it with something, and yeah it was so beautiful than her eyes, coz that’s the beautiful thing I’ve seen so far. I immediately went to the store keeper and somehow after a long time I got her address and contact number and even enquired where can I find the same slipper of size 7.
Even my story is like Cinderella, with a slight modification. I’ve found the leg I mean leg of my girl and all I need is to get the slipper that’s it. Next day I got the slippers got it gift packed and directly went to her house. She was shocked to see me, but at the same time she was surprisingly happy that I got the slippers for her. She invited me inside and offered me Tea. She then told her mom about me and all those funny incidents that happened. Suddenly her granny (the perfect villain) came downstairs and started asking “Oh, so you happened out to be a courier boy.” This won’t stop I said to myself. Soon our family got introduced; we got married and lived happily thereafter.
“What so soon the story has ended, without any crisps?” “Is that the question that is running in your mind readers?” well I can say even mine is a short fairy tale and moreover I can’t take more encounters. So this is it. At last I’ve found my Cinderella, we got married and lived happily thereafter.
