A little Encounter

I have never seen her before and she was waiting there, for me?

As usual a late comer, I was walking towards the office gate and could see her silhouette from a distance

‘Hope you didn’t hurt yourself while descending from the heavens’ I started a conversation with her in my mind. I need to get the first lines correct while striking a dialogue!

50 more steps to go before I could reach her. Who could she be and what is she doing at my office gate? Maybe someone is looking for a job! This thought crossed my mind.
I can help her in that regard, my manager will never refuse my request, he is a nice man and a close friend.

35 steps to go, and I could see her dress was a perfect mix of an era defining this generation, not provocative but classy. Somehow I always felt that you are born for certain types of dresses but in her case dresses should take birth for her.

20 steps more, I was getting closer, somehow gorgeous seemed a pity word to define the beauty she possessed, English dictionary was not sufficient to portray her elegance.

10 Steps and I will be there, ‘Would you like to have Tortellini or Spaghetti?’ definitely she would like Italian food –my favorite, I almost took her to our maiden dinner date but I sounded more like a waiter than her mate.

I was very close now and could not asses the number of steps it will take to reach her, I was always bad at math! but close encounter with a sensation is more complex than any mathematical equations.

I kept all my imaginations aside, come back later I instructed them, now get ready to break the ice!

She was standing facing the office and I went and stood parallel to her “Excuse me” I said while we were both facing in the same direction.

“Hi” she said with utmost pleasure, maybe she has found ‘The Man’ she was searching for years and there I was. I looked her from her right, the hair looked lovely and could see a hint of her ear rings through the strands.

“Hello darling how are you?” I did not said that but my mind told me someone has just spoken these words. I turned and watched the doors of my office were flung open and there stood someone I knew.

“Sweetheart! I am waiting for you from 10 minutes now, now quickly tell me where you are taking me” she said to her darling.

“Sid! what are you doing here, is this the time to come to office?” he said when he realized how close I was standing to her.

My emotions went in exile and my esteem was searching a place to sit, I did not broke the ice but he has broken the entire ice berg on my head.

“I ehh, ….” My mind experienced a general strike of words!

“Never mind, it is almost lunch time when you are coming to office” he said sarcastically “Please do me a favor, can you book a table for me and my fiancé at the Italian Restaurent”

“Sure sir” I responded and he took her away.

How can I refuse his request, he is a nice man and a close friend!
