Stranger to Better Half

I am glad to write the story of mine, its not only a story but my 2 years complicated story. It made me feel low happy aggresive and the person I am today.

It was 22nd December 2021, I was finding a job, because of the covid. I was unemployed, So at evening 4pm I was surfing net and found a job in Mira Road as a waitress, but first of all I saw the salary it was 16k and as I had said it was a Covid time, everyone was upset because of the restrictions, in every field many of people got unemployed, I decided to go and give the interview , firstly I thought that How could I work as waitress, my profession is A teacher, but for me earning was also necessary.

At next day I gone to mira road, the address was not properly mentioned , I was not so familiar with the place, but with the help of google map I found that place, My interview was too by the owner itself, she liked my personality and the way I communicate with her, she selected me and told me to join by next day, She was really kind to me. The place was so calm and soothing it was European style cafe, it was a specialist for pizza and brew beers

My time was 3pm to 10pm, I just have to attain guests talk with them, and upsell the given items, but still I was a newbie, I didn't had any knowledge of alcohol at all

I didn't know what is vodka, whisky, beer, wine, gin, rum, tequila etc. Because for me alcohol meant alcohol only but this all thing I learned from my colleague, yes he is my betterhalf right now. I'll not mention his name but yes I call him Bunny. 

A stranger guy to whom I felt for him, my intention was not to fall in love with him but my destiny was vast different, I didn't knew that in which path I am walking. I just kept on walking but he holded my heart forever, At that time he was a bartender in that cafe. I was too scared to deal in hotel industry, I made alot of mistakes took random orders, forgetted to punch KOT, food pickup. But he was the one being a bartender he helped me to learn the basic things in hotels, he taught me how the cocktails made, he made me to remember the base of cocktails, how to talk and interact with the guest, and now the main storyline I ll portray how we become heart of each other...

It was 27th december, I made a tea for everyone, and in that cafe, we staff's were allowed to the kitchen, So I made tea for everyone and after that I offered him " Sir have a cup of Tea" He looked me and smiled " hmm thank you " and don't tell me sir, you can call me by my name, he is catholic so his name was little tough to pronounce but I did it, I told him ok I ll call you by your name. He was so impressed by me. Even till now he really like that if I make tea for him. We talked with each other through eyes and the day came 31st December 2021, the cafe was totally rush, it was a highest sale in that day, and as you know New year crowd

Everyone wished each other happy new year, my lady boss asked me to seat with her and have a glass of beer, and I said no..

I can't have it, I never drank.. She told me only one glass and lets celebrate together, I drank 330ml of Cider. After that more 2 glass and I have never drank in my life, So it started affected me, I became tipsy at that time, He saw me and got so angry he didn't talk with me, but I was so tipsy and sleepy and literally not able to walk but my ladyboss took me at her home at 1am and suddenly I woke up at 3.30 am and dropped a msg to him, I am missing you sweetheart, I want to talk to you but still I was not in my senses. He knew my condition so he didn't replied at that time, he replied me at afternoon , "Why did you drank at last night? You don't drink right? Then why the hell you drank 

I answered him politely " ahmm sorry, but I didn't drank purposely, ma'm told me to have a glass of beer so thats why I drank! Don't be angry to me. He replied " do whatever you want ? Who am I to say anything bye takecare, I was thinking, how could he speak to me in this way huhh ok fine if he don't want to talk to me I ll not force him.

After sometime, I took shower and went to my work, He didn't see me for a glance but still I tried to talk with him, I got upset then after an hour he came near me he gave me melody chocolate as he knew that it's my favourite chocolate, So I understood that now he is not angry with me anymore. 

He texted me at night, are you single? I answered yes, and even I asked him are you single ? He said yes, He replied lets go out and spent time with each other, I can never forget the day I met him, I still remember the date it was 3rd january 2021, he came in flora shirt and I was wearing tshirt and jeans, First time I saw him in informal dress, I was so scared to meet him, should I meet him? Should I go out with him? Because for me be was till stranger, How can I trust someone so blindly but still I took the risk because I was attracted to his words

My first date was so so special, he brought for me cranberry juice and for him old monk and thumsup, we gone to beach date that was in utthan "vellankani" That beautiful sky, seashore musical waves breezy air, and I waa sitting besides him, even he has carried mini speaker with him, and dedicated song for me " teri jhalak Asharfi, Sri Valli naina madak barfi" and from that day 

I hear this song , because it made me remind that I am so much special to him, the way be looked me , he made me comfortable through dedicating songs to me, he slowly held my hand. Pooja are you comfortable, looked deeply in my eyes, my heart was too fast and replied yes I am, he hugged me warmly and talked about his life and about his family. He kissed my forehead and told me one think, I don't know i feel so connected to you, but still it was not easy at that time we hasn't said I love you to each other.

We slowly started our journey.... That journey I ll write in next story soon
