A Damned Fool!

The other day, I read,

He who hesitates is a damned fool!

After 6 years, I saw her. She was standing in the bus stand, waiting for the bus. I was riding pillion with my colleague. I refreshed my colleague's memory of who she was. In one of those highs, i had blurted the story to him (it seems). After about 250 meters, he stopped the vehicle. He asked me to get down. He said go talk and he sped away, without looking back.

My every one step forward was followed by two steps backwards. This game continued until I was about 300 meteres from her. I summoned all the courage I could, I started putting the subsequent steps forward...I saw her standing there, when I was 100 m away from her. I saw her standing when I was 50 m away from her. My heart starting beating faster. and I saw her when I was 5 m away from her, the only difference being, she had just boarded an auto and I was the spectator.

damn you, hesitation!
