An Evening With All Senses
Happy new year, Dreamers!

Growing up to be an introvert had never been an issue to me; infact, I would find peace and my comfort laying in my bed quietly after the daily activities. The serenity was of great value to me and I would not even allow anyone to take this away from me.
Concerts and other outings were not my thing; my friends know this and they don't even bother to invite me sometimes (except if really important).
This particular day, a friend and another friend came to my room. Apparently, it was her birthday and I thought she'd come with my share of the cake. But to my surprise,she gleefully broke out the announcement of taking us out in the evening; bills on her.
“I'm not going” the anthem thoughtlessly flew out from my mouth again.
What was the point, when even with my close buddies I might just be there moping quietly? I could cook food in my room and just chill in bed with my cellphone. They could go on and have a nice time.
But today, this girl was not having it and a frown was already etched on her face.
“No. No. No. I don't want to hear it. Let me meet you dressed by evening.” She said in slight annoyance with finality before rushing out of my room like she's afraid I'd just repeat my signature sentence.
“Tch. Who says ‘no’ to free food? You are going and I'm coming back.” The other one said sourly, almost grabbing me by my collar.
Evening time came and I found myself in a popular mall downtown, with the clique.
'Let's just eat and be done with. I could even ditch them over, after eating' I was making up my mind.
Who was I deceiving? Because the food was nice and the gists over it hit differently. If you would consider moving to and fro on my chair dancing, I definitely took part in the dancing. Thereafter came taking pictures, window-shopping and a bit of shopping. It was all fun and I silently taunted my earlier self along with the made-up decision.
Birthday girl could not even conceal her happiness and I was also happy to have taken part in making her day.
I never thought of taking part in the fun, with all senses
I had never imagined that particular evening there, with all senses.
Perhaps because there were not so many people around there...
Perhaps because I was with my close buddies...
