Ramesh
Ramesh stared at the watch. It was nearing two pm. His team had already managed to chalk out the contours of the market entry strategy for the Singapore based company. Working with the two youngsters he realized how talented both of them were. They had broached a dozen innovative ideas, some solid and others preposterous.
“Hey guys! That would be enough”, he had addressed them, at a time when they were discussing a particularly harebrained strategy, “Remember, we are to devise a basic working model now and not to build the East India Company.”
Reluctantly, the two lads abandoned their research on moon-landing operations and focused back on the job at hand.
Lunch was of course out of question. The office boy had been asked to deposit couple of sandwiches, all of which lay untouched at the other end of the table. They had to finish the first draft of the presentation in an hour. After half an hour, he had said okay to the draft and called back Preeti from the HR.
They had discovered that when it came to a presentation, she was a genius. She came and took her place by his side. The two lads got up and came to stand behind her, bending over to be of help. Her fingers flew over the keyboard and the dry data began to be transformed to into colorful graphics. Where earlier they had only texted bullet points, she had appended suitable voice-overs to add emphasis. The resulting work was outstanding and the first hurdle had been crossed. It only needed the boss’s approval. He mailed it promptly to Mr. Rao.
The two lads were stretching out their limbs. They wanted some off time and Ramesh advised them to grab a late lunch outside. For himself, he said, he would wait till Mr. Rao called him up. Both the boys left and he was alone with Preeti now.
She drew her chair closer to him and commended him, “That was a great job and there was so little time.”
His mind was on what Mr. Rao would be thinking about it, for after all it was his first assignment as a team supervisor.
She assured him that it would all turn out to be okay. Then he remembered not having thanked her properly for her inputs and so grabbed her hand. “You know, I can’t”, he stammered, “can’t thank you enough for your magic with the presentation.”
She smiled in reply and was about to say something when Mr. Rao’s summons came. He hurried over to the boss’s chamber.
“I think this should be adequate”, Mr. Rao came directly to the point. “Just carry out the minor changes”, he held out paper with his jottings, “and send it over pronto.”
“Certainly, sir.” Ramesh said and returned to the conference room. Ten minutes later, the necessary corrections had been made and the whole presentation rechecked. He logged in to the company server and made the dispatch
“Whooooosh”, he exhaled audibly when the confirmation of mail delivery lit up on the screen.
Preeti hit him playfully on his arm. “Relax boss.”
She brought over a couple of sandwiches and put the plate before him. He pushed it aside as he was still in the adrenalin driven mode. She would have nothing of it. With brows furrowed, she sat down again beside him, knocking him on the knee in the process. She held out a sandwich to the level of his mouth and said “Eat.”
He conceded and taking it from her hand started to nibble at it. Slowly at first and then he finished it. Preeti pushed the whole plate towards him and this time he started eating without a fuss. He was hungry, as he realized now. Just that in the tension and everything else, he had overlooked that. He looked in her direction and said “Thank you.” She just nodded in response. How pretty she looked with that half smile. Again he noticed her perfume. It felt so good to be near her. All alone. Just the two of them. Just as in his dreams. There he would be taking her to the nearest available shack and they would be …
As if on cue, the damn thing between his legs started to remind him of its presence. It was starting to swell up. ‘What a nuisance’, he thought considering the situation he was in. He tried feverishly to shrink it back and distract himself looked away from her and directly into the report before him, pretending he had remembered something important.
Preeti noticed the peculiar look that had come over him and his weird actions. Concerned, she placed her hand over his. “Hey, is everything ok?” she asked.
It was her touch, that did it. His excitement level climbed up rapidly. There was no way he could back off from the plateau now. With a hoarse “Excuse me”, he shot off from his seat and moved quickly to the attached bathroom. Preeti eyes got widened.
Locking the door from inside, he zipped down his pants, lowering it and the underwear simultaneously as the tell tale pressure from inside signaled that he had lost the battle. He made a dash to the nearby commode and in time as well for second later the floodgates had opened. Spurts after spurts went to the loo as he shuddered under the impact. It seemed to go on for ever and when it stopped, he reached out for the roll of tissue. After it was all over, he flushed the commode a couple of times, splashed water over his face, dried himself and stepped out.
Striding over to Preeti, he smiled weakly. “Sudden spasms. Must be something I had eaten earlier …”
She nodded in relief. Good that it was nothing serious.
Then she brightened up. Moving closer to him, she adopted a conspiratorial tone. “Oh yes! The results came in. You have been selected for the London training program.”
His happiness shot through the roof.
“Are you sure?’, his voice had a tremble.
She smiled again. “Just now when you were gone”, she gestured towards the bathroom, “I just have put it up to the boss for confirmation. Any time now …”.
“Oh Preeti!”, he said and pumped her hand up and down not letting go of her.
She was certainly the best thing that had happened to him today.
