Episode - 2
Days
were quicker than before, a twelfth week now, a pleasant feeling working with
her, but how? I AM NOT SURE, but she had the same effect on me from the very first
day. She is a decent dresser, crisp voice, and speaks well, unlike me. I don’t
tag her as a workaholic but justify, she does some smart jobs. I observed, she
knew how to propel things well, a fine quality for anyone to possess. Cut
sharp & assertive too ‘I agree that’s a rough one’, but very punctual &
no-nonsense lady. After her joining, somehow, things started wrapping up early.
Life
became more exciting now; IS IT HER? My
inner voice: no Comments. This is a real feeling, what is so special
about this girl? My Inner Voice: am I obsessed? It’s okay
to be, excited to know more about her.
The same evening, I happen to see her waiting
for the cab, and wanted to take a chance, I slowed my car and “asked her”, that
I can drop her off as I am heading on her way. She graciously denied my offer, saying
that she was not interested, I was
choked with the reply but left pretending that was fine with me, but it was not, ‘My Inner Voice: am I not interesting or
just the ride’? I felt upset and lost the whole week. Hence, decided to ask her the same question,
‘am I not interested, or just the ride’? It's Monday, again a lazy start,
feeling nervous but determined to ask her the bugging question. But I do not
have her personal number, neither she nor I asked. Now the only option left is to
walk to her cabin, it`s 5.30 pm. Well! She is almost securing her things to leave,
but I won`t let her.
I
asked, “Ms.Vidhi may I know the update so far and please email me the latest
developments?”
“Surely, by morning.” She said.
I insist to her, that she does it right now, and she said, “I
had an appointment with the doctor and it’s important.” I was worried a little and
asked her if she is okay?
She replied, “Absolutely fine.”
Then
I whispered slowly, “If you are free this weekend, of course after work, how
about buying you a coffee.” I perceive her disinterest, but I promised her that
I can help her with the ongoing project. Reluctant, but agreed with my proposal
saying, “I had only an hour,” “that’s enough!” I said, ‘My Inner Voice, is too confident: I can extend
your timing.’
The awaited Friday morning arrived, and I
dressed up in the best outfit, what I have in my closet, certainly, to impress
her. Unlike any Friday, ‘I am waiting for her,’ damn it’s not normal at all; ‘of
course not, being early to the office and waiting for her. ISN'T IT CRAZY! ‘My Inner voice, conformingly: Of course
not, it`s crazy after all.’ She is late, “my Inner voice, how come? I've never seen her coming late” why
today? Okay l wait, it`s 9.30am, went to her cabin, not see it, two more hours passed
and no news, OMG random thoughts in mind, is she okay? Is she met with an accident? Is she on leave, or did she quit the job? I started searching, for any emails from her, and
no such emails. Now it’s time to get her on call.
Abruptly, heard her voice asking, “Sorry Vinay,
a little late today, I heard from Bhanu that you were looking for me.” Bhanu one
of our teammates is good at gossiping & lazy at work.
“What?” I Yelled, irritatingly and watched her ‘OH MY
GOD’, again she smacked me. She is in a sari, so colorful, a lemon yellow one, with
sky blue all over, a kind of georgette type I guess? With a contrasting blouse, and ears
filled with matching tassels, looks so stylish like never before, she made my
day when I saw her, my tensions are gone and my attention started, literally, I am gawking at her. That’s it, confirmed, I
am in love with this lady, totally. I decided to compliment her at any cost
before she leaves the room.
She
asked, “Hello Vinay, is anything that I could help you with?”. I just ignored her and asked any reason for
her wearing a sari, she smiled softly and teased me that she is going on a
date.
“
What!” I snap.
“No, it’s actually a personal meet up and I am
supposed to wear this”.
“Okay, actually you look so cool in this sari.”
‘My InnerVoice
saying hot… instead, she thanked me and started blushing. 'My Inner voice: man this is for life, I am dead, I knew
it.' So she asked, whether the coffee program is still alive, I stammered, “
Yes... Yes of course.”
“Then
please text me the address.”
“ But
I don’t have your number.”
She wrote on the pad on my table, I asked her
how about leaving the office together sharp 6.00 pm. I felt her discomfort but said okay. 'My Inner voice: Wow what a play Vinay, both purposes
survived, first one, her personal number, second, leaving together, great trick bro, I pat myself proudly.'
“Now
may I know why I am here Vinay?” she asked.
“Actually, I thought of giving you some
details of the project, but since morning I didn’t hear from you.” ‘MY Inner
voice: IT’S FALSE.
“Sure,
please email me.” And she left the room.
What the… I am gonna die if I can't be seeing her the whole day, but how? I felt that today it was okay to be named shameless and started rattling six to seven times from her cabin to mine. Of course,
she started noticing my presence often, "I Don't Mind."
And it's 5.30, I wind up my work for the
day and rehearse how to propose to her.
Yes, indeed I wanna propose to her today. I made up that she is for me, whatever
it is, but I won't let her slip. 'She is mine.'
if you like it please share & comment. would love to read them all.
Thank you.
Thank you.
