My rendezvous with her has become a daily affair...I eagerly await the clock to hover its hands around 10 o' clock to have a glimpse of the wonder.No matter how early i wake up, i tend to do things which ensures that i reach my office at around 10 minutes to 10.Its been past 1 month since when i have been holistically following the schedule, the only motivating force being her.What started with a series of coincidences have become a continuous affair.It all started some 5 weeks back when contrary to my regular schedule and PL's demand, i made my way to office 20 minutes late to the scheduled time.The reason being a late night sleep which consequently led to a late start of the day.I don't mind saying that i believe in superstitions and a regular reader of daily horoscope to which am subscribed to in my email(needs to mention that the subscription is free).I flipped open my notebook and made a frenzied move around the web pages to open the daily feed of my luck.I spent the next 2 minutes to read the 3-4 lines of lines which was imposed as my luck of the day.It bluntly mentioned how my day at office would be screwed.After been late to office, this seemed to be a very obvious happening of the day.I silently applauded the person who does such accurate predictions and felt an utter need to knowing how my fate would take its course in the coming years.The volcano of thoughts were soon mellowed by the clock on my desktop which made me hurry up for the office.When ur luck is wild, u have an every chance of being bitten by a dog despite of being atop a camel.I failed to get a single auto which would drop me by my workplace.Every auto driver seemed to show a middle finger trying to screw my already screwed day.
After waiting for the next 1 min, i mustered enough courage to walk half the stretch after which getting an auto was a simpler matter.I made some quick calculations, and came with the conclusion that even walking the stretch meant being late by another 15 minutes.After being late by 10 minutes, another 15 minutes sounded not so nasty enough but in terms of business it meant, i would be late by 150% more which meant a loss 13 euros of my billable effort for the day.I prepared some answers which i would utter if asked for a reason, which mostly was never asked.My excuses ranged from being ill to having headache to as vague as there wasn't power to iron my clothes.My mind vacillated between declaring which reason would lead its way, as each of them sounded genuine enough.
I almost stumbled as i tried to run along the stairs overtaking an elderly associate of my company.I managed to balance myself and prevent my fall which could have led to disastrous end to a bad start.The elder man now way ahead of me gave me a "u reckless, careless idiot" look as i tried to overtake him again to make myself be the 1st one available for the lift.I work on the 3rd floor of the building.Though the building has 8 lifts for smooth movement across the floors, the one closest enough to the entrance sought maximum attention, hence more traffic and finally a slack movement.To my surprise, the lift doors were still ajar.I ran to make myself available before door closed.I steeped my shoe between the doors to make it stop and got in the next split second.My short stint pissed off most of the co-associates in the lift who made weird expressions to show the same.
I moved my right to press the floor where i needed to stop when i noticed her for the 1st time.Clad in a refreshingly new shade of blue, she looked ravishingly beautiful.I could not stop myself from peeking her from the corner of my eye.Standing inches away, i could smell the perfume she wore.I quickly noticed her smooth flowing hair, the fresh mascara in her eyes and a series of bangles she wore around her wrist.Her hair seemed to be still wet as if she had her made her way just out of the shower.I wondered if that was really the case, or she had gelled her hair.Movement across 2 floors by a normal speed lift would take nothing more that 20 seconds, unless stopped in between.The 28 seconds of my stay with her in closed box accompanied by other co workers changed my reason for coming to office daily.Rather than the pending work, i try to be at my time to ensure the co movement across the floor with her.4 weeks, our relationship rather than growing has reduced the physical distance between us in the lift.She is still an unnamed wonder for me and am an unknown admirer of hers.I still look forward to meet her again at the lift tomorrow.
