Sam was embarrassed of what happened to him and he was afraid that his team mate, his friend, vinod would definitely tell the incident to all his team, making him the talk of the week. The bus was nearing the office so Sam opened his eyes and saw people either immersed in music or having the power sleep as he would call. Suddenly the pretty faces which looked at him in the morning popped up in his mind, and he remembered one girl in particular, she was wearing pink color chudi which was perfectly going with her fair complexion. He didn’t see her properly because of the humiliation he encountered in the morning, but for a split second they made eye contact. And that was enough for him to capture her beauty in his mind.
He started looking for the girl from his seat. All he was able to see was the pink lining of her dupata. He adjusted his position to see her but it was in vain. The bus entered the office and everyone started getting down, Sam tried to have a look at the girl but since she was sitting in the first row she got down early. Sam was little disappointed. Vinod was still in the hangover of the morning happenings; he was teasing Sam and made him very angry. “dei athu epadi da stop nu sonna udane unkitta than solarange nu nenaiche……”(how come u thought that she asked u to stop the bus?). he was irritating him all the time till reached the office.
He reached his block and entered the lift to go to his floor. The lift was about to close when he again heard the voice “stop… stop…. Stop…” vinod too heard it and he had a mischievous smile at Sam. The lift door, which was about to close, opened like a screen to reveal the lady in pink. Yes it was the same girl, whom Sam was trying to see in the bus. For a moment his heart beat stopped. But it was only for a short moment because the girl recognized him and giggled something to her friend. He felt disappointed a little. But he was not able to control his feelings for her. She was really good and beautiful but not as mind blowing as the girl he saw in the morning. But she was looking pretty.
The floor bell ringed and Sam could hear “fourth floor…” and he has to leave the lift. But surprisingly she too got down from the lift and was wondering where to go? Sam thought of helping her but vinod was also there. So he was not ready for further embarrassment, if in case she ignores, so he went to his bay. Sam started checking his mails and was seeing whether there are any mails from onsite. Priya came near to him and said “stop stop stop..” and laughed hard. Sam understood at once that his stunt in the morning has been broadcasted successfully to the entire team by vinod.
He started to work as usual. Around 11.30 Vinod pinged him in OCS,” hey coffee?” he replied yes and they started towards the pantry. Priya too joined them for coffee. Sam got the coffee and he was quietly sipping it, while vinod was enacting every bit of what happened in the bus that morning to Priya and to other team mates. Sam’s mind was engulfed with the thoughts of the pink girl.
They reached their bay after finishing their coffee. When Sam was about to sit he saw pink chudi again. She was standing two bays away from him. Sam was wondering what she was doing there. The manager of another project came there and was talking with them.
Faintly Sam was able to hear what they were talking. The manager was introducing them to his team.
“She is Ananya, new folk from academy. She will be joining our team”
Sam started to chant her name like mantra in his mind and heart. At that time his manager called him and gave him some tasks to complete. After that, sam got immerged into his work. Two days passed by and sam never made any advances to her. That day the work extended till 8.30 in the evening. Almost everyone has left in the floor. Sam got up and saw Ananya still sitting and doing something in her system. He wanted to talk with her but was hesitant to do that so he refrained himself from approaching her. He had some more tasks to complete so after a quick break he started working again.
“Excuse me”, sam looked up and saw Ananya near him. He was totally baffled by her presence.
“Can u please tell me how to book cab, its already late and buses have left”, sam, though was speechless he composed himself and told her the procedure. She said thanks and introduced herself, “I m Ananya”. Sam said to himself “yeah I know, that is the only word that has been echoing in my mind for the past two days”. She said thanks and retired to her place. Sam was excited because he spoke with her for the first time. He finished his work and went to get his cab.
A big surprise was awaiting him, when he got into the cab, he saw Ananya.
She said, “Hi”.
