I JUST KNEW ! Part 7

Part - 7

5th july 2014

After the meet with Sanskar and deciding not to take up any thoughts about Sumit, Next few weeks passed in a pretty routine pattern and really hectic due to our project release date falling in third week of the coming month, I used to wake up early and take bus from my Bus-stop to office, and with too much work load I used to leave office late almost every day  and take a cab back home. Or we used to club in my manager's car and he would drop 3 of us. Me sunitha and sashwath.  We lived almost 2 to 3 km distance from each other. While Sunitha and Sashwath were both quite close  and very friendly to each other they always took back seat and kept murmuring all the way. Sashwath was an year senior to me while Sunitha was my mentee. I always sensed something fishy between these two just to ignore all of that I used to either listen to my ipod, some music or update about the tasks and project status to my manager. Yes I know I was playing like a really boring person, However I felt that's the best way to keep myself away from that feeling of being single, rejected or lost. I just wanted to be indulged in my work. Though it wasn’t easy for me.

I always tried not to call Sumit but I ended up spying on him through Facebook, checking what all has he posted, though there were no much updates and then  I used to worry may be because I  have unfriend him a month back I am unable to see those updates.

While in this thought process, I saw Sumanyu Ping”HI”

it was almost 11:30  in the night I wondered who on this earth starts a conversation at this time. I thought better I logout and sleep. But then I thought He was Sumit’s friend and we became friends through Sumit, May be he want’s to convey something about Sumit.

I replied him “Hi”.  And it was his turn. He went offline. Well I felt funny, wasn’t I thinking something similar. May be I got dose of my own medicine. I closed my laptop and slept. However I couldn’t sleep well enough to feel fresh next morning.

When I woke up I realised, It was already 7 :30 AM in the clock. I woke an hour late from my regular timing, I felt I am surely going to miss my bus today, Still I rushed myself to get ready, I packed both my breakfast and lunch. Mom and dad both were worried about me as I was keeping myself so busy. Dad while eating his breakfast said “I see you are very busy these days, we barely find you at home, I believe everything is okay? ” i replied “ “it just the workload dad we have our release day after, I’ll be free after that”.

All the while my Mom was asking me to complete my breakfast at home.

“Is something wrong we never saw you being so quiet shreya ?” My mother was really concerned. “Please eat and then leave, I am not sure when would you be getting time to eat it” I had no other option than to ignore all of that, I said “please mom don't be so worried I’ll eat in my bus. I don’t  want to miss my bus”.

Though I almost ran towards my bus stop, I missed my bus. When I reached the stop I realised I reached almost 7 mins past the bus left. For a while I thought to go back home, but then there were too many task dependencies on me. I was feeling pretty tired to take City bus, as I need to change 2 bus on the way and they take long route it would be more than an hour I would reach further late. I decided to take an auto. I checked my purse I randomly calculated and as soon as I was satisfied that I have enough to pay the fare of auto ride to my office, I called the auto wala, “AUTOOO” as we always do.

He drove me from a shortcut route, the route was different from my regular one,  While we were almost around 5 Km of distance to Gachibowli I saw a huge office “Adiya Birla Group” It was the same office where Sanskaar worked I peeped out of my auto, wondering if I could see Sanskar there, however it was funny finding myself thinking in that manner, Yes Shreya he will be standing out of his office gates just because you are passing by I said to myself and laughed.
