Chapter 1

It was a Tuesday evening,
I was 20mins late
People had already started reciting, I pushed my way in and registered my name
One by one the poets recited their piece.
In between the change of performers, she walked through the stage, to register her name I think
She was not one of the regulars
She was someone new, with a pleasant smile.
She sat, diagonally across
She was in a beautiful baby pink dress,
A white watch on her left hand and a thin & simple bracelet on her right wrist.
Rings hanging from her ear,
Curly black hair, left open and perfectly set in a side partition.
Her dark ringlets gorgeously complemented her skin,
Her lips were smeared with a hint of lipstick
She was beautiful
I was drawn to her since I saw her on the stage
I couldn't get my eyes off her, neither did I concentrate on the poems recited
Every two seconds my eyes turned to her
I couldn't stop gazing,
Her adorable smile, the calmness with which she spoke, the intensity in her voice, the beauty of her enlivening eyes...
I was left enchanted
When she recited her poem
"The tears of wine"
Lost in her recital
I forgot the next chance was mine
I was to read about options, I ended up reading, Romance
She was seated on my left side when I recited,
Ohh I never loved my poems as much as this time, the way she snapped aloud on few of my lines.
I finished and immediately happened to look at her, and there met our eyes.
I sensed a revelry within, the journey had begun.
Right when the whole event ended, I ran to grab the register diary and looked for her name,
At First, I couldn't spot her name, my eyes didn't stay, I turned the pages two-three times but didn't find her name,
I asked all my friends about her whereabouts, but no one recognized any such poet. They couldn't even recollect anyone sitting in that place.
Who was she.?
What was her name.?
Where was she from.?
