It’s Karma. Is all I can say now to myself with a broken heart.
She looked into my eyes, while she was talking to her friend. But I was so jealous of her talking to a boy that I could not see what she had to say, although I could hear everything. I couldn’t see what She wanted to say. Yes see, I had got blind with jealousy. She left the pantry and went to join her friends.
It all started with a silly game. And now I can see her walk away from me.
Chapter one : How it all started
It all started when my office shifted from Vashi to Andheri. As normal me and my colleagues were excited to find new place, new faces and slowly got settled in our respective workstation. I was exploring the new place, coffee machine and other stuffs, when my eyes fell on a beautiful girl with curly hair, wearing denim jeans and a half sleeve T-shirt. She had worn bangles that made a sweet sound whenever she moved her hands. Her smile could have melt a strong man down. Her giggles would have made a sad person happy. Her aroma of women perfume passed alongside me.I don’t know whether it was the perfume or her, but I felt an instant attraction towards her. I never knew that meeting would be the beginning of a very sweet and sour memory.
From the word of mouth, I came to know that there were others too who liked her. Beauty is like gravity everyone falls for it. That is when the silly game of chess started. Me and my friend Rahul decided whomever she chooses to go with would win and the other one would walk off , with his head down into the hall of shame. :D
The week ended soon. I had gone to Pune that weekend, so had taken Monday off. I thought the game is suppose to start on Tuesday but little did I know it had already started. Well the game was about to get dirty. As I entered the Pantry on Tuesday Morning I heard, “Did you hear he is already married?” And her friend suddenly pointed her finger to me and there was silence in pantry. The cute gal whispered “(Whisper )Why didn’t you say he is hear?” I have to admit at this point that it was not a whisper I could hear her clearly. I had a hot tea in my hand which was less hot compared to my body. My brain was shouting from inside tell her that you are not married. I didn’t know who had spread it and how. But the suspense was over when I got a ping from my colleague Raj on my messenger “How is your wife?”And it just added fuel to my anger. Raj said, “Rahul had spread the news that you had gone to Pune for your marriage." That is when I realized the funny game of chess had begun. Now it was my time to make a move.
I called Rahul to my desk and as he was older than me I asked him the same question, "Aren’t you suppose to get married in few months?" Clearly knowing that his answer would give me an opportunity to clear the doubts in everyone's mind and that’s what happened. And I made it sure I was loud enough for her to hear me that I had no plans of getting married. I could hear a “Yes” from the background. And at that time I didn't know who was that, but I hope it was her.
