02-02-17 :
Anika was loitering along the long passage of her newly joined office. She had no idea about where this passage was heading to. Actually it was still 2hrs left in her work day. She was not tired but bored of sitting there before the monitor and continuously typing something related to her team's project. So She had decided to walk through the nearest corridor and get introduced to all the parts of her new office building. this time more attentively she was trying to imprint the 'MAP' of this portion.
suddenly She heard a voice behind,
" hello, excuse me ma'am the working hour is still not over. Aap yahan iss waqt kya kar rahe hain?"
She turned around in search of the owner of that voice with so much authority.
And there He was standing at a distance of 6ft , hands in d pockets, staring directly at her unnerved demeanor. She looked up and stared back at his face.
"actually main wo......" she fumbled "i was going to the toi..sorry i mean to the canteen..actually i have just joined, so have no idea about the directions" she tried to explain in vain
"so you should have asked your colleague, or.... just could have followed this board" pointing finger upward, directing towards a board, 'CANTEEN- THIS WAY' written over it. He smirked, which got unnoticed by her.
" Sorry, I dint notice that..sorry sir" she tried to go back to her workplace. but something stopped her pace.
She walked towards the big sliding glass window of the cabin. It was raining heavily outside. such a cloudy windy day it had been since morning. Now the Rain was showing no sign of stopping.. Droplets were making the Glass blurry, making the Busy Urban view of the outside indistinctly visible.
Here Anika had come to hand over the soft copy of her project work, obvio to the extent She had completed it. Mrs. Suri ,their Team 'Captain' (that's what she loved to be called by her juniors) told her to show this to their 'Coach' (again name given by Mrs Suri) Mr. Singh Oberoi, The MD of the company, to say precisely The Next CEO and Heir of Oberoi Industries.
But This well furnished Cabin seemed to be vacant without its 'Karta-Dharta'.
Anika was still waiting for her Boss. She tried to slide the window glass, to comprehend how much the weather situation outside would get worse.
Her Thoughts got disturbed with a squeaky sound of boots. She turned.
"You...." both exclaimed
.
.
She Stopped and immediately turned around to see what interrupted her. Okay So it was not him as she had assumed. Just that Bracelet, her enemy for life, dared to get stuck to his cuff link.
"What the hell.."
"sorry"
"oh please stop this SORRY rant, by the way Whats your name and designation and under whom you are working, your domain" He shouted out.
Thankfully the passage was least crowded.
Anika froze then and there, She felt as if an earth quake had just taken place.
She quivered. He took a step forward to her. She closed her eyes in fear of some unfamiliar happenings that possibly gonna happen to her.
He touched the reel of her ID card holder. That single touch on her neck let a shiver run through her spine.
He took the card and read the name. Anika.
"Just Anika, No Surname" He furrowed the eyebrow.
"I dont believe in that" She tried to make her statement as short as possible.
Finally She made her bracelet free from the clutches of his styled cuff link with a blow.
and walked ahead, leaving Two still furrowed brows and two Kanji eyes behind.
yeah thats what she found those eyes like.
"Bagad Billa" she murmured."You" both exclaimed..
Only then loud crack of thunder with lightening just made the surroundings trembled.
"seems like this rain will not stop anytime soon" He uttered in a low tone, with a pleased face.
"what this bagad billa is humming.....like really Billa is humming, not meow-ing" a thought peeped in her subconscious mind.
Uhhuuuu.... he cleared his throat before starting another interrogation session.
"I came here to hand this copy over to you" She placed a pen drive right on that big corporate table.
"what is that containing"
"obviously not meri shaadi ki video" isshhh just a slip of tongue, She made a face of being sorry.
"Don't say Sorry again" He almost roared. "is this the only mannerism, that you have learnt, to say sorry after committing something wrong"
"I have not yet said"
"but you were almost going to utter.." He asserted.
"Sorry I wasnt"
"See, you just said it again"
"What I have just...."
A knock on the glass door. A lady with a bunch of files peeked. "May I come in..sir"
"Yes, come"
" These files are sent by Mr Mathur, Will you please check them, They need your signature sir"
"Okay I will, You can go now, Ms. Bose"
"Ok sir" Thats when she was about to move, She noticed Anika's presence in the room.
"You are here.. Tujhe kab se dhoond rahi thi main, Baarish ruk ne wale hain, ghar nehi jayegi aj?"
"Arey Main toh yahan iss kaam ke wajah se.."
"Okay baaas.... its not the canteen..ok? just get back to your job..and if you have done with it then just leave"
"And you Ms Anika, no I have not YET permitted you to leave this room. Not yet. ok?" He cleared his say-so.
Ms. Bose left the place, after giving a "tu gyi" expression to Anika, who was still standing, plastering a petrified yet Annoyed look on her face.
"Yes You..now tell me. kya tumhari shaadi k video?! Dont you think You talk a bit much nonsenses always" He stated.
" Sorry Actually woh just muh se.."
"Ufff am fed up of these sorry sorry and sorry"
"Ok Am soooo" oops "sorry" she waited to get rebuked again.
Hehehehehe.... He laughed... Laughed? He can laugh ! She thought.
Her lips too slightly curved upward, without her permission :D
She controlled herself not to smile anymore but much to her dismay He found her smiling.
When She smiles She looks cute ! a thought passed through his mind.
