Reading the signs

2025-03-15 23:38:11‘is he married?’ The question jumped out of her mind as soon as she saw him the next day going towards his cabin. As usual, Preeti and the other lady she was yet to know the name of, were doing his burai again.
The normal thing, goodness dude he made himself so that he can come late and not be questioned first be at his level then speak no?
The bell of the cabin rang, she was time was all familiar to the system, she did not wait or look at both of the ladies, she left her phone at the desk and walked ahead to his cabin but never entered without a two-second knock on the glass door.
Patience, this was something she liked about herself.
“Yes sir,” There she was standing in front of him, trying her best not to get her attention to his biceps that were screaming about how much time he spent in the gym to build that chest.
“It is Sunjay sir’s birthday today, I want you to make a birthday wish post for them, Ladwa office, our other branch has already made it, have a look,” He said as he handed me his phone.
I looked at the simple design and nodded, “Who is he? If I may ask?” She was outspoken with her first line then remembered this was not her mind so she managed her words.
“He is the owner of STARIGHTLINE,” He said making her nod.
“Anything else?” He asked.
“Umm… Yes, I would need the photos,” She mentioned, he asked them to take them from his I*******m account as she nodded and got to work, She prepared a few designs but nothing much satisfied her. She was looking at the design as he came outside and walked towards her, looking at the computer screen.
“This is more like scareming the birthday of a 2-year-old,” Blunt, if this word did not exist she would have had a hard time explaining his personality.
Like does this man ever come with a ffilter He speaks his mind… and sometimes, that makes her want to have this quality of his. To speak her mind.
That is probably going to cost her a few lives.
“Umm… let me make some new ones,” She said and got to search, he walked outside the next moment giving a nod, what does he do going outside in this cold weather? Like he is always gone for 10 to 20 minutes then he comes back, she noticed this thrice since yesterday.
The next ones she presented to him passed the test without any issue, she posted them and got done by her work by 2 pm. She still had 4 hours left before she could go back home.
“Anushka mam?” She turned as he came looking for her, “See if a delivery guy is standing outside,” He asked as she looked ahead and nodded at him.
“yes please come outside,” The next moment, the door opened and Dinesh was taking a bag from him before thanking him, He called the peon and asked him to serve all this to everyone.
As usual, Abhinn had left before time, and Dinesh was in the cabin for some time, The other two ladies left at 4.30 and Dinesh came and sat outside for another half an hour, there were no words exchanged she was lost in her thoughts, occasionally glancing in his directly the white shirt fitted him good, soon her thoughts went to her situations and it was time to leave. She nodded at him with a small smile before signing off her leaving time in the register.
Her fingerprint was yet to be on the punch-in machine.
She walked outside to take her bicycle and at the same damn moment, he came outside… And he saw her holding her bicycle and starting to walk ahead.
Yes, you should be proud of the things you own but… That was not some hi-fi bicycle, it was simple, too simple to be considered.
Not meeting his gaze she walked away.
…
“How is your father now?” Dinehs asked as her gaze went to him all of a sudden.
“He is restricted to leaving bed, belt is required even if he needs to move just a little,” she said as her thoughts went back to her father and the worsening situation at her place.
“Bed rest? I see,” He said as she nodded, “2 months at least,” She mentioned as he nodded.
“where are they?” He asked referring to the other two ladies, she just got to know their designation they were PTE trainers, and here, she was curing them in her mind why they were not doing anything. Of course they won't, it is not their job. But hers.
Do you see that?
“Outside having sunlight,” The way she answered must have made him think she was jealous. The hint in his eyes was not missed as he nodded. As usual, she performed her task when Dinesh came inside the office again with a big packet.
She pulled out four plates of the meal as her eyes wandered to him, “These two are for you guys and Abhinn, we can have our lunch inside” he mentioned taking all authority to himself, she could nod.
She was only halfway through her plate when they came outside finishing their lunch.
“What, you are tired of eating?” He asked looking at her face. He looked like he could laugh, with a damn big smile already on his face.
She could not help but let out an embarrassing laugh and nodded. “If you can’t eat more then you don’t have to,” His eyes softened at that as she looked at her plate, it was food…
She nodded at him as they all left her alone again. That day she signed the register, she gave the pen right into his hands, it was nothing.
Perhaps even not a gesture but the way her body was reading signs, she was scared and excited about what the future could bring.

Standing outside the place she was called at, had her palms sweating, her phone in her hands as she opened her hair that was in a bun before, She dialed her father’s number, “Yes, dad I have reached,” She called before taking a deep breath.“Very well, Good luck, beta,” Came back a rough but slightly painful voice.“I am praying for you,” Came the voice of her mother which made her smile.“Okay maa, Aaschi aami, “(will be back soon) with that she hung up the call, her hands felt jittery, and anxiety running in her veins did not help either.‘it’s okay, I am fine’ she said to herself, she bit her lip, taking a deep breath in, ‘Hold, 1… 2… 3… 4… 5… exhale’ With that she looked at the white doors with blurring lines, her gaze going to the standee at the corner.“STRAIGHTLINE”“All over to you, Jesus, “whispering to herself she walked inside the place with as much as confidence she could find in herself.“Hi, my interview was at 12, for the job of receptionist,” She mentioned to the lady
