INTROVERT ED

FRAUD BEGANS

All this day went very well with her, talking to her, roaming around with her was all good. Until she came up to me to say that Soham had proposed her. It was not that surprising to me as I saw these talk a lot, laugh at lot and do more kind of things together. That was the day I just got a feeling of losing her, till now I enjoyed her party, but what if she leaves me this way.

What was your reply on that?' I asked her, we were walking down the stairs to come out of the office; we both completed our work way before we expected.

'I have not yet replied anything, I said I will answer him after few days, what do you think I should say?' she asked and looked at me, she was wearing a red color dress and a black color pant. With open hairs, her eyes shined.

'How can I say about this all, Tania?'

'I am confused on many levels, I can yes, but what if he takes it too much serious? I don't want to be in serious relationship now, I can take it as a mood fresh thing, after work and all, I can have a hug from him and also hear some romantic lines from him,' she said.

'Don't do this kind of thing, Tania, don't play with someone's feelings,' I said, we had reached till the gate.

'My current mood is just have a relation with someone for whom I don't have to think even once before saying a yes, that will be the person I would marry,'

'Yeah, that's good, I hope you find a guy like that soon,' I said and looked back to my office, a three story building, white painted and a big hording hanging on the top saying the company's name "Shoppers" the secuirty by my side, eating some food, a parking by the side, and Tania right by my side.

'It is just 6 pm now, wanna roam round?' I asked. This was my first ever try of inviting her, it is not like I don't want to invite her, it is just I am scared I will freak up during all this and would make it awkward.

'Seeing an introvert like you saying this surprises me a lot,' she said and laughed.

'Introverts are the most talkative person, they just need the right person to talk to, being with you made me like this, and I am very comfortable with the people, who become close to me,'

'I come into your "close person group"?' she asked. The watchman stood up from his chair and walked in the office.

'Yeah, you are, you always will, and I am lucky that you come under it, like i always wanted to talk to you, be friends with you and then...' I stopped, I was going out of line. Sometimes I just become someone else.

'Then what, Ani?'

I kept quiet for a while, the honking of the cars and bikes went silent for me, the walking people became invisible for me. Was it the perfect time to tell her my feelings? I took a deep breath and was about to speak up but my introvert self got up from inside and didn't let me speak out, she came a bit closer to me. I tried to talk, but was not able to, I was never this close to a girl whom I loved. Should I just speak out?

'Become...'

'What?' she came closer, things were getting more tensed here, my heart started to beat real fast.

'I forgot my mobile,' I said out.

'In this situation, really, Ani?' she said and crossed her hands and got away from me, was she coming for a kiss or a hug, or just to slap me for saying my feelings out. Or the last option Nota, seeing her reaction to this I think for a hug. I really don't know, I have never been in such a situation.

I went up to take up my phone, I searched my table, it was not there, my phone started to ring, it was in my pocket. I freaked out in that situation a lot, I know. It was of Tania.

'Found your phone?'

'That's why answered your phone,' I said.

'Now come down, I am waiting for you,' she said and cut the call. I kept my phone back, but I heard a loud voice saying 'I don't bloody know, fix this shit,' it came from Ankit's cabin. I should not have been, but a normal human tendency, I went near the cabin.

'Stop shouting at me, I am a charted accountant not a magician or freaking God,' Tarun shouted.

'I give you my bloody money,'

'And also you spend that money on illegal things, I warned you, but you want to have a hell lot of loans, you want your creditors to trash you, take it now, look at your bloody income, is it even that much to pay to all that creditors,'

'Look, I made up this company this big, please save me from this,'

'Do you want me to fight with that drug sellers? With that fake stock people? I can't, did you ever feel to tell me all this? After all this days I have been informed about this,'

I heard some footsteps coming to my way. And a perfect time for my phone to ring, I ran from there, I am not into a movie that I will hide and investigate on this more right now, I ran away. I saw it was call from Tania. I phoned her back.

'Where have you been?' she said in a irritated voice.

'I am coming with a big news,' I said and cut the call.
