#327. THE ANTICIPATION- A Short Fiction

I had butterflies in my stomach whenever he crossed path with me. My heart fluttered in anticipation for a single glance of his.

I was antisocial and an introvert. So, I could neither come up with a valid excuse to talk to him nor was bold enough to make the first move.

Years passed and we were getting graduated the following week. It had been four years of just eye locks and no talks. On the day of graduation, I thought it was now or never and wanted to get it off my chest. I went backstage, amongst the noisy bunch of enthusiastic students, I singled him out.

“Then, what happened? Don’t give a dramatic pause now!”, my daughter screamed. I turned to look at my husband who gave me a flying kiss on the sly and continued narrating our love story with a smile.
