How it started-continued

I just remembered...

It was  16th day of April...

I was sitting on the bus' last row seat, beside the window. My usual spot, rather… my comfort zone.
I saw a man. He was wearing a purple polo shirt and a somewhat faded denim pants. He was walking towards the bus' entrance... He was so familiar, yes he was. But, I didn't had an idea if he would remember me.

His expression was neutral like calm weather existing outside the walls of the cold automobile. I didn't pay attention anymore as he walked towards the door. I was just fascinated with the fact that I saw someone I recognized. It was six to seven months ago since we've been introduced… casually. Yes, casually.

As I went back to my usual daydreaming- my usual thoughts and imagination, I felt something different that day. I couldn't explain, do I need to? It's just it was different in its sense.

And there was this man. He greeted me and sat near my seat's row. He was being friendly. I greeted him back warmly. He was still trying to wear that neutral expression but I answered back with a jovial look. It was just a mere greeting which turned into a long conversation. And as I was on my usual spot, I just realized that he was already there…sitting side by side. I couldn't even remember how he asked permission to sit beside me or how I offered the vacant seat…did it even matter?
