We both
stood there just looking at each other for few seconds and then my bus
appeared, I dint wanted to board it, but then I had to join office. My mind was
blank for a moment as if, I dint knew what should I be doing, I turned towards
the bus and as I moved a step.
“Don’t take the bus, I will drop you to office… of course,
if you are okay with that” said Sanskar with a cute smile. My mind was like how can
you say no to this cute smile plus I had so much talking to do with him. I turned towards the bus driver and made a
hand gesture, as asking him to leave without me & the driver left.
I turned towards sanskar and asked him “what are you doing
here, I thought you were still in Singapore” and he smiled and said “Shall we
walk towards my vehicle; I’ll answer all your questions while I drive you to
your office”.
With my
heart pacing up I knew this is going to be a great day. I followed Sanskar
while he crossed the road. He had his car parked on the other side of the road.
When we crossed he said “I reached home last night, I called you from Singapore
itself when you asked me when I’ll be back, something went wrong with the line
and I couldn’t place a call again.”
I said
“alright , But what are doing here was my question” and I smiled. He halted as
we approached his car and said “I came to give you lift to your office.” I prompted
“What if I would have taken my bus?”. He made a sad face and said“ You know you
look great in Saree ” and opened the door of his car. There were funny
exchanges of expressions between both of us while I moved in the car.
He started
the car and took a U turn saying “When I reached home last night, I got to know
that - mom and dad are out to Pune with my uncle and cousins, they will be back
day after and I have a holiday today, I had nothing to do right away so, I
thought to see you, as you said you wanted to discuss something with me …”
One thing
I found very nice about the whole sentence, he said was he has a holiday today,
so I said “You have a holiday today, wow … that makes 3 days in a row as its
Friday today” he glanced towards me and said “Yes that’s nice actually.. ” we
were calm for a while I was observing all the little things inside his car, I
remembered the Ganesha’s idol at the centre and recollected that I have seen
this earlier. Soon he asked “do you want me to play music ?” and it came straight out of my mouth “ rather, I
prefer having conversation with you ”.
He cleared
his throat “Ahem ” and then looked at me “So talk, I am willing to listen”. I
started smiling. I said “where did you get my office email id.” And he said
“You know you always ask so many questions” and I replied “I always feel
curious about a few things.”
“Shreya, I
have contacts…. I know a few people from your office they gave me your complete
detail -your phone number, email address, your picture, desk number, office
address, and few other details. I took it long back before I met you” said
Sanskar.
“Haww
someone from my office did that ” I was awestruck “This is wrong against the
policy …” sanskar was laughing “I know that is why, I wasn’t willing to tell
you, but you are Shreya who always wants to know everything and will tell
nothing when asked.” He said
“what …
when didn’t I ? I answer you whenever
you ask anything ” I said with a serious
expression however I knew I barely did that. We almost reached my office.
I said “Thanks for dropping me” Sanskar said “Any time
madam. By the way you can add me on Facebook I have sent you a request.”
The car stopped at the gate and I
was in no hurry to go out I asked “When can I see you again.” He smiled “Why
you want to see me again?” well I had no answer I guess we both knew why I
wanted to see him, but I wasn’t sure if he did feel the same way.
“It’s up to you if you can take out
time and mmm if aa” I was figuring out some proper sentence. He gripped his
steering and said “You don’t have to be formal Shreya, Tell me when do you want
to meet again.” He said without looking at me.
I said “whenever you are free”. He folded his
hands and turned towards me and said “I just told you, I have a holiday today I
am free whole day, so now you tell me”. He raised his eyebrows.
“Lunch tomorrow” I requested and he replied “tomorrow,
Lunch .. I am sorry I have to take my
girlfriend out for lunch .” And he was looking closely for my reaction, it was
a bluff, I knew he was free but I played
along “Okay then enjoy your lunch and plan something, day after”. I started
getting down taking my bag while he prompted “Can we not plan something for
today ?” and I answered “We have a release party today so, I cannot plan for
today. Thanks and have a good day.” I waved him and entered my office premises.
