Serendipity in a Café
210 Words
In a quaint café, Maya found herself waiting for her friend Simran. Seated at a corner table, sipping on her coffee, she noticed the familiar figure of the young man from the bus. Intrigued, she approached him, holding her sketchpad like a secret treasure.
With a warm smile, Maya showed him the sketch, the lines telling the tale of their chance encounter on the bus. As they exchanged glances and unspoken words, Maya sensed something more beneath the surface.
It was in that café, over steaming cups of coffee, that Maya discovered the boy's inability to speak. Despite the absence of words, a silent understanding blossomed between them. They communicated through shared smiles, nods, and the universal language of art.
As the afternoon unfolded, they exchanged phone numbers, each digit becoming a bridge between their worlds. Maya's sketches became a bridge of understanding, and through the quiet moments, she learned about the boy's world of gestures and expressions.
Just as the café began to feel like a haven of connection, Simran arrived. Maya introduced her friend to the boy, revealing his name: Aryan. In the midst of laughter and shared stories, Maya felt the threads of friendship weaving between them, turning a chance meeting into something more profound.
