“I have a huge huge crush on you” and she smiled.

Background.
It had been 2 months, she had noticed him very closely. His arrogance, his attitude made him soooo tempting that most of the ladies on the floor fell for him.”He will say it soon” She told him.

This was going to be tough,but she wasn’t going to give up easily.

30 mins earlier to “I have a huge to crush on you”

“Ankhi what’s the update on that task?” staring at the excel he inquired
“huh?” Damn. Did he catch me dreaming again?

He had noticed her over the weeks,he could sense it, she was not being herself. He enjoyed the attention he seemed to be getting from all ladies on the floor. But coming from the famous ‘Ankhi’ it meant something!

Every time she tried maitaining an eye contact, her eyes drifted to the board on his left. Then there was this smile!! yeah, it was contagious,it seemed to appear every time he was around

“Well, Ashok, well… huh”
After good one min
“Aankhi, lets try again. Ok?” he continued “What’s the update on that issue?”

Looking at the board on his left
“Ashok” very softly.
It was just a li’ll too soft even for her ears
“Huh? Can you please be a li’ll louder”

This is it! Something has to be done.she shook herself hard.Got up and started walking towards him
Shit Is she going to slap me for asking her the status?

Calm down, calm down girl telling herself. She felt like she was going to experience a massive hear attack and when she was close enough to him, she blurted out
“Ashok, I have a huge huge crush on you!” and a sigh of relief!
“There I said It. I am sorry, You are just soo cute and I… I… I ,I mean you are like, Oh man!! I mean, I guess, what I am really trying to say is…….. Oh!(Another sigh). I kinda like you”

There was a huge roar of laughter in the room, Rakhi, Naresh and Sam, all three of them couldn’t hold themselves. Ashok was too shocked,he was speechless.He was blank and staring at the her.

“OH GOD I am soooo fired!!” almost to tears! “Oh god!! Oh god” She couldn’t stop saying that

Naresh, nodded his head in disbelief. Everyone was in splits.It took her sometime to realize that she wasn’t the only one in the room, She was in a meeting! Team meeting!!.”Oh shit!” “I mean, oh damn!”

Ashok grabbed his laptop and walked straight out of the room. Once out, he couldn’t help himself either, he was laughing his heart out. After good 5 mins in the conference room all by himself and a cup of tea later,trying to analyze the whole situation, he decided to call in for Aankhi
‘hi. You asked for me’
Getting up, ‘Yes, please come in’
Silence.
‘Ankhi, did you mean what you just said out there in front of everyone’
‘Well, No point lying right?’ looking down, she continued ‘Yes, I did!”
This time he enjoyed it, there was funny feeling inside. He kinda liked it.
‘Well I am thinking about it and I think I may to have a
‘You do?
‘I do?’
‘You too feel the same??’
‘Ah, well, I, hmm…’
‘Yes? You?’
‘Yes, I guess I too seem to have this kinda crush….. ah, you know on you’
‘Huh?’ She couldn’t believe it
‘Can you please say that again?. Am I hearing things?’
No, you are not! Look I too seem to have a crush on you’

The laugh was sooo loud that it kinda took him by surprise. ‘Had she lost it’ he wondered ‘This wasn’t the reaction I expected’ She was laughing her heart out. She got up, and walked straight out of room. No words said. Just Like That.

“Haazar nikal! Mein shaarat jeet gayi” Naresh was standing right outside the conference room.
