After dropping Divya to her place, I came back at my agency... I parked my car... few workers were present... I headed to the main office and there was my chief worker, Mr.Ramesh, seated... He was with me since I started this agency. With time, he had become one of my close associates...
"Hey Ramesh, how're doin'?? How many of our workers were present today??" I asked him as most of them were absent today...
"Yes sir... Everyone have reported... Few of them are on night shift while some of them would be coming tomorrow... Do not worry sir... Everything is fine... ",he replied assuringly...
"Why do I need to, when you are here!!",I said smiling...
"By the way, what about today's report?", I asked him...
"I am already working on it... Why not you go home and have some rest... It will be done in moments and I'd hand it over today itelf... ", Ramesh said.
"Yeah sure ... No issues with that!!...
Anyways, I have something important to say you... That car which I was driving today, please check its maintainence... There was some unwanted noise in the engine compartment... ", I told him...
"Okay sir... I will ask the mechanic to check it... "
And, I headed to my home... My house wasn't too far... My parents lived quite far...and with occupation point of view, I bought this home which helped to save alot of my time due to proximity...
Three hours had passed from when I had dropped Divya to her place... But the strange thing is, I was still thinking about her... I don't know what was happening to me... May be her charm, her persona had infatuated me... She was deep... There was something mysterious about her... Sometimes she was like cradle of innocence and other time as fierce as tiger's claws... And I like such people... It's a pleasure to talk to someone having such deepness in thoughts...
However, I never imagined that someone would impact my thought process as vividly as she did... I've met a thousands of people till date ... But no one made me feel so strange... And, it all happened in just a day... It's such a short period of time... And just one day never make you carve for someone... Or may be it's true... That it takes a moment for you and your heart to fall for someone... Yet, I thought I would forget her sooner or later... I thought may be I liked her... But she wasn't of...ehh... not my type...sort of... even though knowing that there is nothing possible in between us...
I was tired from driving whole day... So I decided to have some refreshment...ehh... a black coffee after which I would embrace my bed till I fall into sleep, a deeper one... While I was busy making coffee, Ramesh arrived... He had the daily file with him... I held the coffee cup,
"Ramesh, would you like some?? ", I asked him ...
"No sir... thank you, but I need to go home as soon as possible... I have some urgent work... I just came to submit the file which you had asked for... ", he said with a smile...
"Ohh... Just place it on the table... Besides if you have some urgent work then you could have get that done first... There's no problem in that... ", I told him assuringly...
"It's okay sir... Besides I had to inform you that one of the cleaner found this diary in the backseat of the taxi car which you were driving today... I thought it was yours so I came to hand it over...!", he said...
"What... A diary?? Are you sure its a diary??"...
"Yes sir... It's... a ...diary ... Is it not yours?? ", he asked... And suddenly it struck me... As Divya was seating in backseat, mostly, well probably it was hers... So I thought I would send this though Sunita or may be return her myself... And the other idea paved a way for excitement in me... Was it because I had again a chance to meet Divya??...I said, "No, I mean, Yes... its mine...yes, it's mine... I just forgot... uhhh... just place it with the files there... I will see it later... "
Probably, after keeping them he went... And I came in the living room... And I took a look at the diary... Black color cover without any name or label... I thought to peek into it... But I shrugged the idea... It was someone else's diary... How can I see someone else's diary... . So I was taking sip of my coffee while listening to music... I thought to watch the daily report ... So as I picked the file her diary fell on the floor... wide open...As I was about to pick it something grabbed my attention... There was a poem written there...
"Some times I feel everything,
Other times I feel nothing at all...
I can not tell what's worst for a human being,
To live the life or pass it as a crawl ...
Some moments I feel like a hateful heart,
Other moments I feel like a hopeful cause...
I can not tell what's worst in this cart
To be a lost cause or the reckoned gauze.
Some times I am a sunkissed sweet fountain,
Other times I am a saddened sea of salt...
I can not tell what's worst in the life's train,
To enjoy the beautiful ride or worry the hault.
"
As I finished reading it, I fell apart... It had pain...an untold feeling... And it completely reflected it ... It was like a deep soul-touching music flowing into your veins... ...
And I felt an immediate urge to read it... I wasn't tired anymore... I had lost my sleep. I wanted to read everything about her through the diary...
And I dejected the thought of not reading it...
So I started reading from the start... I wanted to read everything about her... May be my infatuation for her was encouraging me to read and get to know her so desperately....
I opened the first page....
