Secret Admirer...

It's beautiful evening today. I am just roaming around the ally of small gift shop in the mall. Yeah valentine's day is in 2 days and I want best greeting card and gift for.... I blush with the thought of... oh there it is I just got beautiful card with romantic message. Now gift... what I should buy for him? I was searching appropriate gift in the showcase of the shop and I saw one frame which you can keep at your desk and the message on that frame is "the beautiful moment in my life" you can add a picture of your beautiful moment. Also there is space to keep your mobile and pen. Yes, this is the one. I liked it. Yeah... I am sappy and love stuck. Who believes in hearts and flowers. I wish he like this gift. I mean he likes all my gifts. I knew it. I can see smile on his lips which reach to his eyes whenever he opens gifts from me. I am just thinking which photo I should put in that frame. I mean I know there are many happy moments in his life but...I was just lost in my thought when my phone buzzes.

"hello Mansi where are you?"

"I am in gift shop near Starbucks"

"ok will meet you at Starbucks in 10, see you"

"this greeting card and this gift that's it madam?" shopkeeper asked. I just nodded. " ok then here is your bill. thanks and happy valentine's week"

"thanks" smilingly I started walking towards Starbucks which is across the road. Neetu is waiting for me at the entrance. We hugged each other and settled on the table. She shakes her head in disapproval by looking at the bag in my hand.

"Mansi it's been 5 years now. Every year you send card and gift to Abhi. Why don't you tell him that you like him? I mean it's not that he hates you." Neetu said.

" ughh Neetu I am not his type, besides I don't want to ruin our little friendship and make myself embarrass in front of everyone" I said in sad tone. "We work in same department, for god's sake".

"Mansi why don't you understand? There is risk in everything. Years later you will regret that you didn't express your feelings. He might have said yes".

"I can't do this and this is an end of discussion" I grabbed my Latte and storm out of Starbucks.

[on the day of valentine]

I was sitting nervously on my desk. I got up early in the morning and jogged near the building where Abhi stays. I put the card and the greeting in letter box and left. Also I reach early in office and kept flowers on his desk. Yeah Neetu is right. It's been 5 years and I really like him but I am scared. Scared of ruining our friendship. He was in my Management college we did our course together. But still I don't have courage to tell him. I mean I always wanted to be in his company but... I know it's not possible. 1. I am not his type and 2. He has girlfriend Mini. Yeah yeah they are not couple yet but they are pretty close and we all are in same department.

My thoughts are interrupted by noise in Abhi's cabin. Mini was shouting at security and asking who kept flowers poor boy he doesn't know anything. She was about to throw them in dustbin my heart was in my throat but thankfully Abhi came and took them from her hand. Thank god. Everyone was back to their work. When I was doing my usual things in the office my intercom buzzes and it's from Abhi he called me in the cabin. I took my notebook and enter in his cabin. Oh my god he looks awesome, drool worthy. I mean how can he look more handsome day by day. I was just admiring my view. He looked up and said "hey Mansi sit, why are you standing?" "oh yes thanks" I sat on the chair as gracefully as I could and we discuss our new client's brief and I jot down some points for the presentation. After 30 min we are done. I was about to leave he stopped me. "hey Mansi happy valentine's day. What are your plans today?" well nothing great I will just hang out with my friends" I try to say this in normal voice. I looked at him and he was looking back at me but I don't know what he was thinking."
