This is what happened, actually has been happening for two days now!

Yesterday.

I parked my car, I usually call amma on my way to the reception and once i am in ladies room, I call Liz, ‘See u in cafe’. Thats my routine. Instead of calling amma, I called Liz and told her I’ll see her in a bit! After our usual chat and fun breakfast,I got to my cubicle. Later that evening
“Arpita mein aaj jaldi jaa rahi hoon. Aap chaloge?”
“haan chaloo”
And just when I thought I was ready to leave, call it sixth sense or the usual (Yeah the same one!) feeling, I knew my car keys were not in the handbag,and I was right! My keys were not be found!
“Arpita, aap nikalo, keys nahi mil rahe hai!” Keys,where are the keys?
Reception “Hi Poonam, Anusha! koi key mila since morning! I cant find my car keys yaar!”

Then, I called Liz “Hi, I cant find my keys!” Even before I could complete, I could sense that I had got her worried! really worried!
She went looking in the ladies room, and I dashed downstairs to talk to Poonam . It was 5,time for bus. Liz takes the bus. We met at CCD in cafe, she was talking to the house keeping folks. I kept asking her to go! the traffic gets really bad, and I didn’t want her to get home late, just because of my foolishness, absentmindedness! A sweetheart, she didnt budge! I have spare keys at home, and a set of house keys are with family at kor,so I knew in worst case, I will have to take a rick to Kor, get the keys, head home, get the spare car keys, head to office to get the car! Uff!

Liz by now was very very worried! Poonam kept insisting “mam, i think you must’ve left them in the car.I will check with the house keeping again”

Checking the car is a good idea! he he he, haan yaar! haan!! Keys wahi the! Door pe, jaan mei jaan aai! Saurabh ko faata faata phone kiya “Mil gaya! Car mei hi tha”

“Kya Bhaisaabh,matalab aap to shock dete hi ja rahe ho! .You becoming too bold” thodi bahut tho daant bhi paadi!

Liz, well she would’ve strangled me, had she not met a friend while we walked towards the car! he he he.

No, honestly, I really got her worked up. Not a good thing! I am not a wee bit proud of myself. The evening ended on a good note though, instead of dropping Liz half the way, I decided to drop her home. I had a good time, with Saurabh gone, I didnt want to go back to the emptiness waiting for me at home. If I didnt have that conf call to attend, I would have happily stayed for long at her place 🙂

So, anyways, as usual, I met Liz at cafe. I decided to get her coffee while she was waiting for the order, I look into my hand bag and my purse is missing! Baato, kal ka kaand kaam tha, ab purse nahi hai! Either I left it at that shop or it must be in the car. “Liz I’ll go check the car, my purse is missing!”

“What?” Not again!
Haan, peeche ki seat ke neeche ghira hua tha!
“Girl, you better take care!” She had that look! OMG Anusha! What the Hell! Look. he he he

No it doesn’t stop here

I reached home , and while was sipping lemonade, I noticed something was missing from my ring finger. My engagement ring was missing! My diamond ring was missing! I usually come home and remove all my jewelery, but mein abhi tho ghar aai hoon! Phir kya tha, I went totally blank,for 2 mins only! he he he
what the F***? What the hell is wrong with me, first the car, then the purse and now! Its my engagement ring, how can i loose it like that? Then I rem’md that earlier that evening,I was fiddling with my ring, and may be just may be I had pulled it out of my finger and I forgot to wear it back? Or it fell down,and I didn’t realize.

OMG, O.M.G! Who should I call? Ajay, Ajay! I called ajay( he is my sweet li’ll friend),

“Ajay office mein ho kya?”
haan, kya hua??” he had inkling that I was in trouble
“Ajay, yaar please check karo, mera diamond ring hai kya desk pe? neeche ghira bhi ho saakata hai?”
“Oh,ruko ruko, abhi dekhta hoon. Aap ruko!” He too sounded more worried than I
While I was talking to him, I was also checking my hand bag.
Bus, phir kya tha, corner mein kuch shine kar raha tha! he he he, my ring! my ring!!I guess it slipped off my finger sometime in the evening!

Ajay was at my desk by then. “Yaahan par kuch nahi hai!”
“Ajay mil gaya, mil gaya, purse mei tha!”
“Oh(Sigh!), aacha hua. aap dhanay rakhoo!”
“haan”

Ab mein kya boolo. Kuch baacha hi nahi bol ne ko! Shaaram aa rahi hai.
