Hold your breath.......
They have been working together for six months now.
This is the first time, he had asked her out. She was quite surprised but delighted with the offer.
Friday. Dinner. They fixed the time at 2000 hours.
Tuesday was rolling by slowly. Two more days to go. She couldn’t contain the excitement.
He was eagerly waiting for the day to come. He had wanted to ask her out for so long, and at last he mustered the courage to do so.
Friday.
They finished work and he had called her, before she was closing shop.
“Hi. Shall meet you in the restaurant. Running to meet a client now. Sorry ! Cant pick you up”
“No problem, I shall see you at eight then” she replied.
“Yeah sure. The reservation, is under your name”
They hung up and she went home to freshen up.
She liked his choice of restaurant.
“Good evening Ma’am. Are we holding a reservation for you” inquired the friendly maitre d.
She confirmed the same and he was glad to show her the table.
She was little early, wanting to see him arrive.
Table was at a quiet corner, secluded from the rest and a lovely view of the pool outside, bathed by the moon light.
Two minutes to eight, she saw him as he walked in.
Dressed in casuals, faded jean and tee shirt, freshly shaven, he was looking smart. His hair gelled, he was conscious about other women in the restaurant eyeing him.
As he was walking in, he was looking at her. Dressed as perfectly as ever, she was sitting at the table smiling at him. In pale blue short kurta, with her hair falling over her shoulders, with the touch of gloss on her lips, she was looking stunning.
Hope not to let her catch him staring at her, he mouthed hi and sat at the table.
“Were you waiting long? I am sorry!” he apologized.
With the wave of her hand, she said no.
For a second, they locked eyes and she flashed him a smile, her electric smile.
“What would like to drink” steward enquired, as he quietly approached the table.
They ordered a cocktail each.
Food order followed.
They started enjoying the evening, with the good view and company as well.
As the evening proceeded, they started discussing about each other. He started telling her about his family and education. Basically from Bangalore, he finished his education back home and currently in Hyderabad for work. His love was sports and music. He is a member of the foot ball team of the company. She could make out his well maintained body and muscle, to agree so.
Desserts were served.
After the meal, they strolled towards the pool. In the moon light, he could make out, how beautiful she was. With her smile and her expressive face, he was lost.
They walked towards the parking.
He opened the door for her and he slid in the driver’s seat and started the car.
She gave him the direction to her place.
With soft music in the background, they were discussing about work and targets lying ahead.
Once outside her place, she thanked him for the evening. He did the same.
She smiled and started to open the door, to find it jammed. She tried again, it wouldn’t give in.
He tried the door, reaching across her.
He could smell the mild perfume from her and he caught the fragrance of her hair, as it fell from her shoulder onto his face.
He turned to look at her eyes. They stared looking at each other for the next couple of seconds and......
Darkness!!!
Anne was plunged into darkness.
Power Cut.
She was typing something pretty interesting to show her friend….
She was almost finished, when the computer switched off.
Oooppsss.. She hadn’t saved the file!!!
Pretty upset, with herself and the power failure, she lit the candle and sat in the balcony, with the moon light streaming in the room, for her friend to return back home!
