My Silent Admirer

      Ring Ring Ring !!!!!!                                       Getting up on a Monday morning is such a huge task. I wanted to sleep some more time nevertheless I got up and went to the balcony where the sun was rising in its whole glory.  Standing in the balcony gives me my alone time. Now standing here and seeing birds flying out of their nests and buzzing traffic reminded me that I have to go and get ready so that I can have some time to whip some breakfast for me.                                      Yes, I live alone but not because I have some mysterious past just like it happens in all books. It is because of the transfer my company gave me and here I am enjoying being an independent woman. I work as a marketing manager in the "WOPNO. PVT. LTD "  for a good 2 years now ( A/N: The company is purely based on my imagination but if it exists, its pure coincidence ). They have a very good work culture except for the fact that they are very particular about their work timings. Keeping this in mind, I start doing my morning chores.                                      After finishing my morning chores, I got dressed in a white blouse matched with a black skirt. Though it may seem very sexy but compared to what the other girls wear, it is very simple. Being an MNC located in the poshest area of Mumbai, this company had a very rich and western culture. After getting ready, I brewed some tea and had a sandwich for my breakfast. After a decent breakfast, I gathered my bag and left for work.     I drive my way to my workplace as I was a proud owner of a Hyundai Creta. My workplace was a good half an hour away from my home. As I entered the big gates, the huge glass tower stood in front of me.  "WOPNO. PVT.LTD " was a huge multinational company having a great infrastructure. The whole building stood up like a glass tower. This company had achieved great things within the span of 20 years and currently, it is the market leader leading in luxury goods.       Entering into the parking lot, I parked my car and headed towards my cabin. As I headed towards my cabin, I saw People were busy with chattering, some were furiously typing and some were sitting in groups gossiping about something - This was the usual scenario in my floor. Entering my cabin, I settled on my cabin and kept my bag in the cabinet. I was just going to start my PC when my cabin door flung open - Revealing 3 of my co-worker's c*m friends and they were Aakash, Aditi and Anvi. Glancing at them, I switched on my PC.  " Come Na Meghna, We will all go for coffee," Anvi said in her sweet voice whereas the other two looked at me with expectantly.  " I am really sorry Anvi, we will go later. I have some work now " I said with a sad smile watching her face which was filling with disappointment. The other two just scoffed knowing very well that I was avoiding socializing like every other time but Anvi is innocent so she doesn't understand my subtle hints. I really feel bad for her - Poor kid.  " Leave it Anvi! If Madam will get relieved from her work then only she will come  " Aakash said, narrowing his eyes at me while I just smiled sheepishly at him.                                                 Whispering an " okay " Anvi and the other two devils left me in my cabin. This is how my routine was - I always try to stay away from situations where I have to socialize. I mean why would I want to take that pain for talking to people when I don't even know if they are permanent or not. Instead, if I take the same amount of pain for my career, I know for a fact that It will always stand by me. People may think that I am anti-social but it's not like that. I just don't like wasting my time on people. So this is how my life has been Till the time I received that parcel.                This is how my life was till now. But everything changed from the day I started receiving parcels. This all started on a day when I had just come to the office and I found a plain box containing a note which said " Good Morning".      I looked at the note curiously and examined the box. Not getting any clue, I called the peon who works on my floor. " Who kept this parcel here?" I asked him.  " I don't know madam! I have not seen anyone. Is there a problem Ma'am ?" He answered looking at me with a confused expression.   " No No Nothing Like that " I answered with a smile and he left. I sat back on my chair and kept wondering about the note.  God knows who kept this note and why will just someone send me morning wishes! Maybe because you don't speak to anyone - My mind taunted me. I don't even speak to anyone in this office then How come somebody has kept a note? That's why somebody has sent the wishes! duh !- My mind taunted me. Ignoring it, I thought maybe one of my friends had kept the note in the cabin. Yes, This is possible. I will ask them later.                                  Keeping this thought in mind, I kept the box in the first drawer of my desk and got back to my work.  ****** Later in the evening ***** I was busy in my work when Aakash came into my cabin. I had drowned myself in work so that I don't think about the note I got in the morning. All these stupid things scare the hell out of me. So I submerged myself in loads and loads of work.  " Hello, Madam! Do you plan on becoming the CEO in one day ?" Aakash commented sarcastically making me chuckle.  " No No tell me what happened ?" I said while typing furiously.  " First you tell me, Why you didn't join us at lunch today ?" He asked with concern and I sighed.  " Actually from the morning, One thing is troubling me," I said.  " I bloody knew something was wrong ! Now tell me what's it ?" He questioned.  " I got a small parcel on my table which had a note wishing me " good morning". That's it. There was no name or anything on it. It was anonymous. Did any of you had sent this? " I asked and showed him the note along with that box.  " No No Meghna! We would never do like this considering how worried you get regarding all these things " He justified making me anxious.  " Then who is behind all this ?" I asked to no one in particular and buried my head in my palms.  " I think you should just wait and see what happens " Aakash suggested.  " But what if later on, some problem arises, " I asked uneasily.  " Nothing will happen, we all are here by your side so nothing to worry about, " He said and gave me a small smile making me smile back at him.  " Okay but please don't tell this to girls. They will get worried sick listening to the matter " I requested him to which he just smiled and nodded.  " So Madam, let's leave. It's getting late " He stated and I agreed. I wrapped up all my work and left with him.
