Her Unloving man

The Beginning

Nivedita's POV

The Past

That Voice !!!

The moment I listened to his voice I felt a spark of attraction. My heartbeat accelerated .

My ears were tuned towards his voice. Just like an antenna. It searched more and more for his voice. Anything would do.

I have seen good faces of the male species. But today, I came to know what really draws me to the opposite gender.

His one "Yes Sir !!" Keeps on repeating inside my mind till there was a call in the intercom from my bosses. Even in the workload, his voice was reeling inside my mind.

I have earlier seen this face in the canteen. He wore a Robin blue full sleeve shirt and had the face of a complete stranger to the dishes the canteen presented before him. He stood a little away from the long queue.

A new face was what I had called him then .

After the lunch break when I came to sit , I saw the table beside my right, being cleaned and sorted .

I was not happy. That table was empty. And I liked this space of mine. Empty beside me. And now I have to share this little space with some stranger. What kind of person will be sitting beside me ?

I was literally scared from the news given by a housekeeping boy, that some new man is going to come here.

A man ?

Don't make fun of me. I know I may sound a little strange. However I am afraid of this gender. Most of the male colleagues I have seen have a leering gaze, the one which makes you want to hide inside the Washroom. And wear two three scarfs over your bust area.

However they still have a once over of your chest area.

I asked the people around, and they said, they also are not aware . I became more apprehensive due to this.

After the desktop was set up by our help desk, he called this 'new character'.

I was praying to God, " please , please make him a sensible man".

And to my surprise, I saw that new face in a blue shirt sitting beside me. His first call to the IS helpdesk , "I'm not able to log in my email here, Hardip ! "

His voice .... It held a certain amount of everything good.

My heart clarified the characteristics:

1) Humble : He was talking so humbly with Hardip.

2) Respectful : He was speaking with respect a human deserves with Hardip.

3) Kind : He was never arrogant towards Hardip.

All in all, I just knew I wanted to listen to this voice more and more.

His designation was much much higher than mine . But due to the non availability of a seating arrangement , he was provided this space.

I wanted him to take and make more calls. So that I could listen to his voice.

If somebody ever told me that I was attracted to the voice of a male , I would have never believed it before. But now I know when this has really happened.

The Present

**********

Now that I think today, I feel like the moment was a trigger for me. It was a sign for me to shift my seat. This was new to me. My heartbeat never showed this type of behavior earlier. Nor was I habituated to sitting beside an immensely handsome man with an equally attractive voice .

I should have talked with the concerned people and would have given some reason for changing the seating arrangement of mine.

Even if I knew that, they wouldn't have heard my reason.

Because, what would that be ?

My first ever crush is seated beside me .....And he has started to affect me from the very first.

If only I would have said.....
