They collided at Holborn tube station. Their eyes met, they smiled at each other and then walked in opposite directions.
He reached home and kept thinking about her. He wondered if he would see her again. She was like a breath of fresh air, like a beautiful and dainty iris flower, he thought to himself.
The next evening, he waited at the Holborn station, hoping to see her again. He waited for a while, but couldn’t see her. He decided to try again the next day.
He finally found her in the crowd the next day. He heaved a sigh of relief. He approached her.
“Hey, I am not stalking you but I couldn’t stop thinking about you ever since I saw you the other day. I am Percy.”
“Oh, hi. I am Iris. I am so relieved, I was wondering if I would see you again. You may say I was stalking you, too!”
Who says there is nothing like love at first sight?
They exchanged numbers and stayed in touch. It took them just about 5 days to finally admit being in love with each other. They decided to meet at Granger & Co. restaurant at Kings Cross around 9 PM.
He spotted her outside the exit of Kings Cross station. She was looking breathtakingly beautiful in a lime yellow dress. Once she spotted him, she waved at him and excitedly started walking towards him. They hugged and felt as if the world had stopped for a moment.
They entered the restaurant and waited for the waiter to take their order. It seemed as though the staff was ignoring them for some strange reason. After waiting for a while, he went up to the reception counter, but it was too crowded so he stepped back and took his date outside. They found it quite strange to be ignored rudely by the staff.
They held hands and kissed each other under the full moon. They had yearned for this special magical moment for a long time. He walked with her to the Kings Cross station. There was a crowd and some police officers. They wondered what was going on.
Both of them were flabbergasted. Her head started to spin and he felt breathless too. Lying outside the station were their bodies, a bouquet of Iris flowers scattered all around.
They overheard one of the officers. “It was an absolutely unpleasant sight. The young man was running towards this young lady just after they must have exited the station. Both of them collided with Bus No. 25 and died on spot. Wish they unite in heaven now.”
