Three days ago, my mom and myself went to visit my aunt who arrived from India. We did not know that she would have visitors the same day. There we met this family and they have a son who just completed engineering. Actually, the first and last time I met him was at the same place - back then I was just a kid (almost 10-11 years old) and he was just a teen.
Believe me, the minute I shook hands with this guy, his eyes began sparkling like anything. We exchanged "HI"s and that's it. He sat, I sat.. but with my mom sandwiched in between.
Then he turned to my mom and asked,
"Is she your daughter?".
My mom nodded with a smile. He looked at me and smiled. The conversation between the families began.
There was a brief moment when he turned to me, cracked a joke and smiled again.
... And then the time came to bid farewell. He looked at me before he could wish my mom goodbye. I sensed it that he was waiting to say "BYE" to me. When the turn came, we shook hands and again I noticed this mysterious sparkle in his eyes.
Mom and I returned back home. My mom spoke to my dad about the whole visit and suddenly she said to him,
"Your daughter is grown up now. I have been noticing how X's son had been looking at her all the time...."
My dad reacted to it by making a grumpy face!!! He hates it when guys are mentioned. He doesn't mind if I have a boyfriend, as long as he is 1 mile away from me.
As for me... I still wonder what those sparkling eyes could actually mean..?!
