No one in
the team appeared in a mood to work today. May be the reason was evening party
and there was low workload too, everyone was talking about food, parties and
previous party etc. and bunch of girls were busy in discussing their dress. I
texted Sashwath, asking hows new life going, congratulated him again “happy
married life” and also enquired if he and sunita can join the evening party.
Just then I got a
call from Sashwath, I spoke to him for a while and then to Sunita both said
they’ll try to attend, however they have other plans for the evening. While I completed the call there was a missed
call from Sanskar I thought it was just
an hour ago he dropped me, & he called me WOW. I called him back but
the number was busy this time. So I dropped him a messages.
Me: Thanks for dropping me, it was a very nice of you. We
will be leaving to Hotel Darbaan by 2 :00 PM. party will end at 9: 00 Pm. I am
free till 2 J
And I
waited for a reply for next 2 hours, well you see this happens when you expect
a way too much. Me and a few others from my team planned some games, for
evening party and booked cabs for all the female employee to drop them home
safely. It was again an assigned task. While we were doing all of this, our
Male colleague started teasing us saying “Girls get too many extra benefits. We
all have to make our own arrangements back to home”. I prompted “you can join your
route’s cab, if there is any seat free, but you have to check that for yourself”
I shared the sheet with them.
It was 1:
00 PM sherlee asked me “what have you got for lunch ” and I checked my box and said “Fried rice” . We sat at my desk and
shared my lunch and started gossiping about our boss and other supervisors.
Meanwhile I got a message. It was from my dad.
DAD: how will you come home, and when?
I called
him back, explained him my arrangement with cab and asked him not to worry, if
I am late. I will be calling and informing him. Soon after the call was done, I
received another message it was from Sanskar and it said the same thing
Sanskar : When will you be reaching home then and how are
you going to manage commutation?
It was
nice to see that he was concerned, I replied him back
Me : We have cab arranged for all female employees
Soon I got
another reply
Sanskar: tell me the location, I’ll drop you home. You can pay me what you are
paying to cab.
Me : Its being paid by the company, thanks but I don’t want
to bother you.
Sanskar : You are already bothering me with other things :P
Me : ???
Sanskar : You din’t discuss what you wanted to discuss with
me, right from the beginning.
Me : Oh, I see.
Sherlee
got her bag and said “pack your bag lets go to the wash room and change? Are
you busy with something?”
I checked
the time we had to start by 2 and we barely had 20 mins to left. As usual we
took more than 20 mins to get ready, apart from sherlee and one other colleague
whose name I always forget wore tunics and skirts rest all of us wore frocks or
gowns. We were late by 40 mins to reach the venue luckily nothing was started
and every one was just warming up chit chatting around.
Being one of the volunteer we
arranged few fun events and games. Everyone was cheering the player it was all
fun. Time moved faster it was 7:00 and we all were enjoying music dance and
starters. Suddenly my boss appeared and gave me a number and asked me to call
him and direct the guy with the location of the hotel. It was a cake delivery
guy’s number.
In all the fun and enjoyment, I forgot the tract of where
our stuff were kept. I was unable to find my bag, in fact none were able to. I
enquired with a few waiters there and then got to know that all our belongings
are kept in a room and locked and like a fool I left my phone in my bag. It
took lot of time to find the keys and get bag and then my phone. As soon as I
did, I called this delivery guy, it was my luck he was almost near and we
received cake on time. But there were 6 messages from sanskar which were left
unread……
