Why Did You Break My Heart?

(Hello I am sultan of [email protected] back with new story. I received this story from a very near friend. I am posting it on ISS for you guys to read after changing the name and place of the incidence for security and safety. You will love the impeccable style of narration. If you like it send your comments to encourage me on the id [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected].)

Dear Sultan Bhai, please post this story on my behalf on ISS. I am Sultana Sinha(name changed), aged 45 male from Sikkim a very beautiful State in the North east part of India. I am the General Manager of a group of hotels in the state. It was just by accident that I came across this site and read some of the stories. I liked your style of writing and somehow my instincts tell me that you can be trusted because I do have a real story to share with you and I leave it to your judgment whether you would like to share it with others. But mind you its going to be in parts and very long which is necessary to understand the emotions attached. Please expect me to be atrociously vulgar. Are you ok with that? Please remember you’ll be the first person with whom I’m sharing this story.

Hi Sultan,I have just started reading this site and thought I should share my experience with you. This should have never occurred but in the heat of lust, one does succumb to temptation. This happened in the year 2004 when I was in Mumbai and working as a G.M. of a four star property and I was given a two BHK well furnished apartment just close to the property with pick up and drop facility. I lived there with my wife as my only daughter was in a well reputed boarding school {I could not keep her with us because in our industry job changes are frequent and with that also the cities}.

Any way coming to myself, I was 33 years of age at that time and though I am no Tom Cruise but was very good in studies and sports I was very popular in school and college and especially among girls. Co incidentally my wife is a product of my college and we have a very healthy sexual life and we have great trust on each other. Having an impressive personality and the gift of gab and a sharp thinking mind I can very easily impress anybody on the first meeting.

This explains my quick step to success at an early age. My wife is aware that the opposite sex get attracted to me very often but she has no problem because of the trust she has in me built after so many years of our marriage and I had never broken her trust until this happened. You are aware that in hotels female staffs need to be pretty with the right personality and attitude. So our hotel too had plenty of female staffs in every dept. But the Front Office has the most.

Now recruitment for all depts. were through the HR dept. and the final approval has to be the joining letter with my stamp and signature. The F and B Manager Ranjeet(name changed) was my batch-mate from my management days. Since he was a very good pal of mine, I had brought him on board with me. I had a great trust in him and never tried to cross check his credentials, although my post demanded that I get reports of the previous day from all dept. and make the necessary reports to my board of directors.

Now coming to my image, as an H.O.D, I had a very nasty repute of being very hard under the pleasing personality and would take decisions with regard to firing somebody at the drop of a hat. So none of the staff wanted to be into my firing line and lose a well paid job with such a reputed company because if anybody left the company on their accord with an praise they were sure to get a job in any parts but it would hurt their careers if they were fired.

So anybody joining would instantly be warned by the older staff about me and so everybody tread to avoid coming in my path. Although in truth I don’t fire anybody unless they test my nerve. However,in our industry it is necessary to install the fear of God to install discipline.

Well coming to the story, Ranjeet was in-charge of the restaurant and bar as well as the banquets. Since it was a huge hall and we served good quality food and were known for our services, the halls would be mostly booked for all types of events. Ranjeet had a banquet co- ordinator named Sushmita to assist him.

Her job was to take the initial queries of client and discuss the same with Ranjeet and finalise the deal with party on his approved rates. If the function was fixed then she would prepare an FP {function prospectus,which had all the details with regards to party name,date,menu,rate s etc }. She would then mail this to all so that all are aware of it well in advance and event to be prepared accordingly.

Ranjeet and his team were doing a great job but suddenly Sushmita got married and had to quit the job. Now since she was an efficient staff Ranjeet was now begging me for a suitable aide as his workload had increased. Mind you in Hotels selling banquets at the rates the hotel has fixed is the toughest part because it requires loads of skill and patience. So I mailed my H.R. to get on board someone ASAP. After a few days Ranjeet called me on my intercom and said that the H.R. had lined up some candidates and he liked one girl in particular and would I like to see her?

However my hands were full and so I told him to take her on board and sent her joining letter to me for my initials. {As I told you that I trusted him a lot and hardly liked to interfere in his dept.} Anyways she was taken on board and I still hadn’t seen her and as is my nature I don’t interact much with my juniors much only reply back to their wishes. It was a Tuesday and Ranjeet’s weekly off. I was checking my mails when suddenly an F. P. appeared and since Ranjeet was not on duty I presumed the confirmation must have come via his new aide and I couldn’t help but be impressed at Ranjeet’s choice as it was a corporate’s booking. However what I saw made me panic and my eyes bulge out of my socket.THE RATE ! I couldn’t believe that the deal was settled at what would cost the hotel a massive. We would not be able to recover our food costs.

I instantly tried calling Ranjeet but as usual his cell was switched off as he liked to enjoy his offs without any disturbance. Now I panicked because who would explain the losses to the management. The girl at the worst would lose her job but my reputation was at stake. I immediately buzzed my secretary to send for the girl. God I didn’t even know her name. As I sat contemplating what should be the next move there was a knock on the door.

When I said come in a the figure that came in left me shocked. She was a stunner. Standing at 5’6″ she had the most innocent and beautiful face I had ever seen and a perfect body. Mind you I am very poor with figure stats. Anyway I forced myself out of my stupor. I then returned her wish and asked her to sit but she remained standing. However I insisted and she sat down. Now without wasting time I explained the situation to her and the soup that she had landed us in and as the gravity of the situation hit her, her beautiful face turned ashen and she burst into tears.

Now this was a very awkward situation for me an 18 or 19 year old beauty goddess crying inconsolably in front of me and even if I wanted to comfort her the situation prevented me from doing so. However some remedial measure had to be taken soon. So I asked her to calm down and we will find a way out. After she calmed down I asked her to freshen up in my office toilet. As she walked I couldn’t help notice the elegance.

Now the corporate’s General Manager, Mr. B and I shared a fairly good rapport as we have at several incidences taken good care of so that was my last ray of hope. Pinky Agrawal, yes that was the girl’s name came back from the toilet and stood in front of me with her heads hanging in shame and sadness and something in me told me that she needed to be helped. I asked to get her official papers and meet me in the porch of the hotel as soon as possible and she gave me a quizzical look. But when I told her that we are going to the corporate office to rectify the error she looked at me in disbelief but anyway followed my orders.

On the drive to the corporate office there was an awkward silence between us. As the corporate office neared, my heart was beating so hard that I think even she could have heard it. I had called up Mr. B on the way about my visit and its purpose. So soon we were ushered into his office and after shaking hands he buzzed for Vidya {the admin officer who had made the deal}. God I was in soup and so was this lady sitting next to me.

Vidya and I did not exactly share great vibes but since her boss had intervened she had to entertain me. But she knew she had my balls in her hand and left no chance of squeezing it to the most. However she finally agreed to up the rate where at least the costs could be met. In the little success that was in store for me it was the most humiliating moment of my career. Anyway I thanked Mr. B and vowed to pay back the favor in near future and left with Pinky. I was seething from inside but could not vent my anger.

There was a steely silence on the way back and Pinky perhaps was waiting for me to burst at her but somehow I wasn’t able to do so and I was myself amazed. Once I parked the car I quietly went back to my stupor not quite knowing how to deal with her for her mistake. I thought I’ll calm down and assess what should I do with her but somehow could not think of causing her any sort of harm. But the anger was boiling inside waiting to pounce on the lady,Pinky. I decided I would discuss it with Ranjeet and let him do the required.

It was in the evening that I received a mail from the banquet ID and to my horror it was a resignation letter from Pinky stating she was unfit for the post. I called the banquet office on the intercom and it was answered by Pinky only. I asked her to come to my office and hung up. Somehow from her voice I felt she had been crying. After a while she entered my office and was seated in front of me. Again I did not know where to start from and what to say. So I started by asking her about her family and was to hear what she had to say. {I think its becoming a bit too long but the detailing is a must}

She said that she was the eldest child of her parents and she had two younger brothers who were 12 yrs and 9 yrs. Her dad was a useless alcoholic and mother a chronic patient always in need of medication. At such an age when she was burdening the household burden.

I asked, “Why did you take such a decision to quit the job when nobody has said anything to you. Don’t you need this job any more.”

She said, “I do need this job badly but then I am hurt by the humiliation that you had to undergo all because of me in the corporate office. I thought you would scold me but you never said anything. Had I been taken to task I would have felt much better and I know of your repute. So instead of being fired I preferred to go with dignity. Hence I resigned.”

I felt amused and asked her, “Do I look like it?”

She said, “I hardly know you but in the short period that you were with me you did nothing but intimidate me.”

I was amazed and asked, “How can you say that?”

She said, “You have that kind of a intimidating personality and it was no wonder that your staff called you ‘HITLER’.”

Normally I am very confident while talking with anybody but here was this beautiful lass who was making me think hard. After a lot of deliberation I came up with an idea. I gave her a proposal that I can give a chance to redeem herself here itself. At this she looked at me surprise and wondered how. Having met people day in and day out I consider myself quite a master in human psyche.

This fiery type of characters needs to be thrown bait and they will grab it. I hoped against hope she would fall for it. She was waiting with bated breath.

I propositioned, “Since you accept, you erred today, you will have to prove your worth by achieving a banquet sales target within a specified period and working hours should not be a criteria. Are you up for it?”

She considered the idea for a little and then asked me suspiciously, “Is it not one of your ploy to ensure I stayed back.”

I couldn’t help but admire her brains. I had to think and think fast at that !! Or she was slipping out.

I assured her, “It is not a compulsion and any decision of your would be only your. It is just an attempt on my part to make a changeover of the image the people have about me and of course everybody needed a second chance. Even the error committed by you was due to over zealousness to prove yourself to your peers which is common at this age and I am sure this incidence would make you a wiser person.”

She thought for a long while and then taking a deep breath she said, “I need to think about it for a night and I can only tell tomorrow.”

Now boy did I admire her for her resolution. Just my kind of person who do not like to be rushed into things even in adverse situations {remember her family depended on her}.Any nerd would have jumped at the 2nd lifeline but not her. Then and there I knew that whatever be her decision tomorrow but she was a winner and she would surely go a long way.

Just then as if breaking my trance the phone rang. It was my secretary just telling me that I had a visitor. It was only then that I realized that it was more than an hour since Pinky had entered my cabin and even Secretary must think what business could I have with a new recruit because I’m known for finishing meetings in quick time.

So it was with a surprising tinge of sadness that I told her, “I would wait for your decision the tomorrow.”

Did she express disappointment at those words. Must have been one of those funny fantasies. She rose up and thanked me for my proposal and said, “This is the best conversation I ever had and it is a very learning experience. I would cherish these moments forever and hope I would further get such opportunities in the future.”

Was she dropping a hint ? As she turned to leave I felt strange pain and everything around seemed blank an odd type of emptiness engulfed me. It seemed as if time had froze as long I was with her.

To be honest I have never felt anything like this before in the company of anyone. It was simply inexplicable but it was as I had not wanted this to end. My mind was in total confusion and even though I attended office still I just could not get her face off my mind and even in bed I spoke very little to my wife and just tossed in bed. I woke up early in the morning and took shower and went to the hotel with lot of things in my mind. What if she sticks to her decision.

Ranjeet came to the hotel and as usual came to greet me. When I narrated the other day’s incident he was shocked. He had a sheepish look on his face but I did not want to pursue the matter any further. Ranjeet thanked me for pitching in for him and left. My dept people came in with their various files and I absent minded signed them. At 10:00 A.M. there was a knock on my door and as I said come in and there she was. My heart beat jumped and then it sank because she was in her casuals which meant she was sticking to her decision.

I was devastated and felt like I had lost a very crucial battle of life and was bracing myself to hear the worst. Anyway it cannot be denied that she did look like a diva even in her maroon coloured churidar. I beckoned her to a seat in front of me and she sat down gracefully in front of me.

Me: {glumly} Well it seems you have made your decision?

Pinky:{with a mischievous smile } Well yes and no,It depends on you.

Me: Now, what does that mean ?

Pinky:Sir because of the atmosphere in which I grew you see I have seen hardships in life from a very young age and today I’m here is only because of you.

Me:{with bated breath} And how’s that?

Pinky: Sir, before I proceed I would like to make two requests.

Me:{quickly} And what would that be? .. . .

Pinky: First I need an uninterrupted 1 hour of time and second I need the permission to be blunt when I speak. Would you give one hour from your busy schedule to me? If so meet me at a well known Garden in the evening. Then I would be able to communicate properly. I will wait for you………

She made it clear that she would take a decision only after talking with me. I had no other option so I agreed. So she went to Ranjeet and took leave on some goddam excuse and went home. The entire day the clock seemed to crawl and finally I drove to the appointed place and found her waiting there. As soon as she got in I hit the highway in the direction traffic flow would be less and we would be safe from being seen.

After driving for some distance I stopped the car at a lonely place. Don’t jump to conclusions, there was no wrong idea in my mind but I was too concerned about being seen with a damsel that I had not considered what she would think. So before she could get any wrong ideas I quickly faced her and tried to place my case when I saw there she was with the sweetest of smile on her face.

Me: I hope you are ok with the place?

Pinky: Perfect and couldn’t have been better and to say the least I have you all to myself. (I was shocked at her openness and she blushed and quickly said), At least no work affair to disturb our talks. I nodded understandingly.

Pinky: Sir, you can switch off the lights I’m ok with dark.(It was into late evening)

Me: But I like to see face when I talk.

Pinky: Oh you want to see my face. Is it pretty?
(Was she flirting with me?)

Me: Only a fool would say you aren’t.

Pinky: Do you like it?
(Man her questions were brazen.)

Me: Pinky your question is incoherent and you must understand that I am a married man and I also have a kid.

Pinky: But how does that stop you from liking somebody or why would you come here with me?

I was stunned by her brutal truth. To quickly change the topic from going on I quickly said, “I had come here because you wanted to talk to me and what did you mean by saying you had come just because of me.”

Pinky: {in a grim tone} Sir, as I said I have seen life’s hardships and wherever I’ve gone people look at my body with lust before my qualities or qualifications and if they do anything for you then they expect only one thing in return, but for the 1st time I saw a man speaking to me without his eyes roving over my body and for the 1st time it felt good to be appreciated as a woman and not an object.

I was too stunned to say anything but stared at this amazing lady who was just sweeping me off my feet with her potent qualities.

She continued: Sir,yesterday had it been anybody else in your place I am sure he would have tried to exploit me in some way or the other but you were more concerned about me. If you had tried to take advantage of me I would have been more than willing to let you be my 1st man. But you were more concerned with me and my family although you hardly knew for more than a few hours. This goes on to show what a good human being you are. People call you “Hitler” but I have found a man with a heart of gold. I have to admit that your wife is a very lucky lady and I really envy her. I wish I was born a few years earlier and found you.

Hearing all this I was tongue tied but finally found my voice.

Me: But you hardly know me?
(I protested.)

Pinky: Sir even you hardly knew me but why were you so concerned?

Me: But that was out of humanity.

Pinky:Exactly sir, and sadly people like you cease to exist anymore. Now sir I want to bare my heart so I want to speak without any interruptions if that is ok with you?

(I was in any case too stumped to even bother so I dumbly nodded my head.)

Pinky: Sir, what I have to say now might have an impact which could have a bearing on our future relation but you will have to promise whatever your reaction but you’ll always remain my friend.

Saying this she extended her hand towards me and my heart skipped a beat and for the first time in my life I was feeling nervous in front of a lady. However I extended my hands to meet her and it was trembling when she took it in her hand.

She noticed it and smiled and remarked: And people have the fear of God for this person.

(I could not help but blush and there was beads of sweat on my forehead. I have to admit that she had the softest of hand I had ever held and didn’t feel like leaving but had to a bit reluctantly. She noticed and smiled. It was thrilling as well as frightening. I was left wondering where was this conversation leading to.)

Anyway she continued: Sir, it is true and from the depth of my heart that I’ve fallen for you and even though it is morally wrong but then how can one make one’s heart understand.

(My ears could not believe what I was hearing and my heart almost came to my mouth. But I was supposed to keep silent and just hear so I had no choice either. Any one could have knocked me down with a feather.)

Pinky: Sir please do not think that I want you to enter into any sort of relation with me as I do not want to make any complications in your life because I am so grateful to you for having ignited that kind of feeling which I never thought I would ever be able to experience. You’ve given birth to the lady in me.

(Now I was feeling slightly uneasy and my head started reeling. Any guy would have even killed to hear these magical words from this stunning goddess.)

This was not even one of the wildest fantasies I might have had. So it was very difficult to react and then my thoughts went to my loving wife and the very idea of infidelity meant putting my marriage on rocks. However I could not bring myself to refuse her proposal. I could not bring my thoughts in one place and this girls brazenness just shook me. Suddenly she gave another jolt.

Pinky: Sir, what you do with me is entirely your decision but I assure you “THAT IF ANY BODY WILL EVER TOUCH ME IT WILL BE ONLY YOU”.

(I had to find a solution because I did not want to wreck my marriage nor did I want to refuse this diva’s proposal because that might wreck her. So finding no solution I decided to play along and let time take its course. But I’d to tread carefully because she was too tempting to resist and I have to accept that I did start having feelings for her. In other words I would be playing with fire. Now what kind of a man’s ego would not be boosted with words like that and from such a gorgeous babe.)

Me: What if I take advantage of you right now.

Pinky: That would be my pleasure but I know I cannot be that lucky. I’m in no hurry, even your care is more than enough for me. I mean even your loving glance can do wonders for me. I know the first time you will touch me, it will be the best touch of my life because it will be the touch of the most caring man on this planet. By the way sir, you are not bad looking either. It is just that I’m not as pretty as your wife?

(Was she teasing me? Hearing this I was almost on the verge of taking her in my arms and kissing her beautiful lips. It required great strength to curb this urge and her lovely expressive and expectant eyes weren’t helping my cause either.)

Pinky: Sir, you haven’t answered to my proposal.

Me: Who can refuse a girl like you? But there are certain ground rules to follow. We will play the games according to my rules. Are you ok with that?

(Hearing this she almost jumped at me with a Thank You Sir. However she controlled herself, lowered her eyes thus giving her face a flushing pink which made me even more tempted to embrace her.)

Pinky: {softly} Sorry sir, I almost broke my promise but I could not control my joy on hearing your answer.

Me: That’s ok Pinky, the situation is the same here. I cannot say how or when but I have the same urge as you. Believe me you are the most beautiful girl I have ever come across and I’m flattered by your feelings for me but you must understand that I have a wife and a kid whom I love very much. So physical intimacy would be difficult but that does not mean it will never happen but if it does happen I want to make it very special for you. Till then it would not mean that I do not care for you and at the workplace nobody should suspect anything by our actions.

(Pinky looked at me with tears in her eyes. I thought I had hurt her and cursed myself but she saw the look in my eyes)

She immediately said, “Don’t worry sir, these are tears of joy. I am glad that I chose you as my soul mate because if you had wanted you could have done anything with me now but you don’t treat a women as an object of lust.”

How wrong she was if only she could have noticed the bulge in between my legs.

Suddenly she said, “Sir, since we can’t meet like this everyday I have two last requests.”

I was so enamored by her that I asked her lovingly, “What is it dear?”

Pinky: {shyly with eyes lowered} Sir, can I give you a small hug and I also want you to give me a love nickname.

(Now this meant treading on a danger zone. However I could not deny her so I opened my hands and she just jumped onto them and pressed against my chest. It was only then that I could really feel her breasts and I cannot describe the feelings. They were perfectly rounded and hard as if they would pierce through my chest.

(There was a painful rush of blood in my little cock’s head. It started getting erection and had I been wearing a cotton pant I am sure it would have burst through the fabric. She had the most intoxicating smell and I was in the ninth heaven.)

Suddenly and spontaneously I moaned, “Oh Puno”

We held each other like that for what seemed an eternity. When we regained senses we slowly got out of each other’s grasp rather reluctantly.

She didn’t look at me in the eyes and I remarked, “Oh God, that was quite a small hug, eh?”

On hearing this her cheeks turned crimson red and she just kept her eyes glued to the floor. It was getting late so I started driving back and on the way she was silent. Perhaps trying to recover from her first manly touch. I also was lost in my own thought as this was the second women in my life with whom I had a physical intimacy although it was just necking. The odd part was that I had feeling of guilt. Perhaps God had destined me to get the love of two of the most beautiful girls in the world I couldn’t help chuckling to myself. On the way back I dropped her at her residence and marked her house.

I was very happy when I reached home. I was feeling as if I was teenager again. I couldn’t get the silly grin off my face the entire evening. My wife Shahana might have noticed something strange but she didn’t.

My wife waited for me in my bedroom. I went inside and saw her laying in pink nighty. I planted my mouth on her mouth and kissed her. My mouth was very hot that time. And my wife was tasting very sweet since I had tasted the forbidden fruit the same day. I had to release the pent up sexual libido. Shahana kissed me back.

We started kissing more heavily and she gently pushed me. She then climbed over me and while sitting up, she pulled of my night-shirt, then kissed my chest a little. She slid down the bed and started to work on my pajama. I was now starting to get real hard. She slid off my pajama and tossed them on the floor. She saw my hard large cock in my briefs, and grinning, began to rub my crotch a little making me even harder. She caught my cock in her hands and began jerking it hard.

I pulled her down closer to me and began to neck with her some more. Now she was starting to really smile. She sat back up over me, and reached up and pulled off her nighty. Her large tits fell un-hindered free against her chest. I took them each in my hands and start to rub them. Her boobs were very white and nipples pink in colour and I immediately started to lick her firm boobs and she was moaning with pleasure saying “‘fuck me pls fuck me”, but I wanted to take some more pleasure before real sex so I decided to enjoy foreplay first. After some time her nipples were hard like rock.

I slipped a nipple in my mouth and began to tease it with my tongue. Shahana was now moaning and breathing very heavily. Now, I slid her up some more to me. Her black panty was the only fabric she had on. And then pulled her by her thighs, horizontal with her head past my feet and her crotch right next to my face. Her pussy was bulging between her legs and her panties were starting to show her dampness. After a second, I pulled them off exposing her pussy, and fantastic ass.

I slid them off over and threw behind me (her black cunt hair was gorgeous), and dove into her cunt with my tongue and pulled out just as quick, sending waves of ecstasy rippling through her body. She stopped me from licking her cunt as we seldom do oral sex. But as I was too excited I wished to suck her cunt. Anyway I didn’t want to appear too aggressive.

So I decided to insert my finger into her pussy to excite her. When I inserted one finger in her pussy, it went all in without any hesitation, and then I inserted my second finger but the second finger did not go in as easily inside as her pussy hole was not so big enough. I began finger fucking her pussy and watching her reactions imagining how will it feel when I do get to do it with Puno.

As her pussy was well lubricated I did not apply any further pressure. I made her lie on the bed and kept her legs on my shoulder and placed my cock head at her pussy entrance. I pushed it a little, my push inserted my penis inside her pussy but at the first stroke it did not go fully inside as her pussy was very tight. So I pulled out my cock leaving just the cock head inside and pushed again with my body weight behind my push. I succeeded at the second stroke. I pushed my penis further inside her pussy and now it went fully inside her pussy.

I started to jerk my penis in and out and she was making noise, “Fuck me……….FUCK FUCK FUCK meeeeee hardddddd ……..I want your cummmmm deep inside my throbbing pussyyyyyyyyyyyyy………oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.”

These time after 20 minute I shot inside her pussy. She also cummed along with me and clung to me. We both had come and she was now fully satisfied with me. After the act was over for 10 to 15 minutes we slept together and I was kissing and pressing her boobs. We woke up next day.

I went to rest room to freshen up while Shahana headed to kitchen to prepare breakfast. Even in the bedroom when I had sex with my wife I was imagining it was Pinky. I was very happy that day, totally enamoured by Puno……..I saw her face everywhere…… In mirror…….In walls………..In ceiling…In bread. I was behaving like a besotted teenager lover boy who had just met his childhood crush. My wife also felt I was a new hero.

Next day I was quickly on my seat well before office time. My wife was surprised at me going to office so early. I told her it was urgent meeting at office. I was waiting for Pinky in the office then suddenly my office intercom buzzed. It was Pinky Agrawal.

Puno: Good Morning sir.

Me: Good Morning Puno.

Puno: Oh sir I love it when you call me that.

Me: Be careful when you speak to me in the office because my extension no. is visible on the board.

Puno: Don’t worry sir I am alone and I promised you I will not spoil your reputation. But how I wish I could tell everyone how wrong image they have of such a wonderful person. Just kidding sir. Can I come to your office right now? I wanted to know the target and I am dying to see you and I haven’t slept the whole night just thinking about you. Did you think about me sir?

(Now I didn’t have the heart to tell her that I’d sex with my wife fantasizing about her.)

Me: Puno you don’t come to my office so frequently because juniors don’t dare to come to my office so often and your doing so will only raise suspicion. I’ll mail you your target and you have got to now work hard and cautiously and as of now don’t take any decisions without the advice of Ranjeet sir.

Puno: But sir, I presumed sir, you would be guiding me and helping me.

Me: Puno you are working under Ranjeet sir and you must understand that it would not be proper for me to meddle in others dept. Also Ranjeet sir, has enormous experience and he can teach you a lot.

Puno: {with a deep sigh } Well I think I’ve no choice. But sir,you’ll have to make a promise that everyday you will have to make it possible for me to be able to see you at least once or twice a day because you can come and go anywhere you like with no questions being asked. Is that a deal?

(This girl has cheek and guts to be so frank and forthright)

Me: {laughing} OK baba ok you are one stubborn girl.

I heard her giggling from the other end. Well after that days with we being engrossed in our respective works and it I never forgot to make sure that I be around her on some pretext or the other.

Well days passed like this and I made it a point to pass by her or stop near her once or twice a day and in those moments her face shone and she would show extra vigor and zeal. If chance permitted she would even give me a wink and when I scowled she would give me the most incredulous grins that would simply melt my heart. It was a ritual for her to call me and wish me as soon as she entered the office and before she left for the day.

Now she was becoming bolder as she would call up and instead of wishing blow kisses on the phone and I was worried to death that someday she could be caught in the act and we could be doomed. Oddly I’d started thinking of us collectively. However I never returned those phone kisses and found it quite childish. But how I loved to kiss luscious lips in real. I also noticed that she was putting in an extra effort and even working extra hours as if she wanted to prove something to the world and I wasn’t complaining.

She had a twinkle in her eyes when I went to Conference Hall to see her latest FP. I thought I saw her give a wink and something somewhere twitched. My face must have turned red as I found myself blushing and quickly turned my eyes away from there and diverted my attention but my mind was racing elsewhere. My heart raced so fast that the conference room would echo for all to hear.

But again thankfully I don’t keep a team of idlers so they were all busy discussing hotel affairs. I felt that I was the only idler there but I was wrong. Giving me company was this raven haired girl with a mischievous glint in her eyes quite enjoying my discomfort, her beautiful lips saying a lot of things without uttering a single word. This was the kind of hypnotic effect she had on me and I was afraid somebody would talk to me and I might not hear because of my trance. People say I’ve this habit of making them nervous but here I was on the contrary nervous as hell. Even as the ac was working full I could feel drops of sweat on my forehead. She was fully enjoying my discomfiture.

She was aware that she was in control of the situation and was blissfully happy about it. Somehow I wanted her to enjoy the feeling of being in control but the situation and scenario wasn’t feasible. I was woken out of stupor by a gentle tap on the shoulder and it was Ranjeet asking if I was ok. I felt sheepish and just blurted a lame excuse of a bad night’s sleep. I was almost caught on the wrong foot by him.

After the meeting got over I rushed to my office and ordered for a chilled lemonade on the rocks and sat down with my head held in my palms. The mind a real blur as I was unable to think clearly, the conference hall event rewinding before my eyes again and again. I knew she was teasing me but where was this leading to.

I cannot claim to be a man of very high morals but I’ve always held women in high and to leer at one was a crime for me and the worst part was getting caught red handed. Oh God now how was I going to face her again. The very thought sent shivers down me. With lemonade in my hand I tried my best to appear as composed as possible in the presence of the steward. The cool lemonade just gave relief to my throat but did little to calm my senses.

Where was all this leading to? So far she was trying to lead me and was doing a very good job. But what would be the consequences? Had I let it go too far? Would she succeed in making me fall to temptations? What if I did? What effect would it have on all three lives? What were her intentions? Is she up to some mischief? What would happen if the whole world and above all my dear wife knows of it? How would I face them?

These types of questions kept coming to my head spinning. Previously I used to have lunch in my office and I had a separate table for that. But since Pinky came. I had started taking in the restaurant and that gave me an opportunity to be near her as the banquet office was opposite the restaurant and while I had my lunch or waited for it we used to exchange meaningful glances. But I had lost my appetite and moreover how was I going to meet her eyes after the hall incident. So when the chef called I just told him that I wasn’t feeling too good so I wanted to skip it and hung up.

Suddenly my intercom buzzed and when I saw the no. it was from the banquet office and it needed no guessing who it was and why it was. Again that dreadful feeling came and knowing that I would not be able to talk to her I just let it ring twice. Let her think what she may but it was true that I could not see her or talk to her in the present. I needed time to myself. Time to collect my wits around me.

I got up went to the restroom sprinkled good amount of water on my face and after wiping with the towel I looked at myself in the mirror. It was a new man. Not the face that I had before the meeting. There was a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach. I don’t know how but in these few days I had definitely become an entirely different person. Had my wife noticed it? Even if she had, she never mentioned it or was she suspicious but was secretly monitoring my activities. God I was turning into a maniac. I needed space and that too very soon.

I made a decision. Got up, picked up the car keys, headed out and on the way told my secretary that I am calling it a day and no phone calls to be forwarded as I’m not feeling well. She stood up with a worried expression on her face. She had a good reason for that because in the four years of service I never had complained even of cold. I just tapped her on the shoulder to assure her that it wasn’t anything serious.

Should I call Pinky and tell her I was leaving but decided against it. I had enough of Pinky for the day. I called Ranjeet and told him I was leaving for the day and he needed to stand in for me. And before he could ask anything, I switched off the phone and that was it. I needed some self introspection and some serious soul searching and no better place than my favorite watering hole where I hang out occasionally only with my closest friends. Although I do take a couple of drinks every night but I had a principle. Never drink in the hotel although the hotel does throw bashes twice a year for the entire staff.

I am no fan of this loud music that they play in such parties but my presence is necessary because this is the only time of the year when these guys and girls can do what they want to in front of me with no inhibitions and how they must be loving it. I on my part take a glass of lemonade or some juice stand in a corner and just observe these people enjoying themselves. I stay for a couple of hours and then slowly move out from the scenario.

Well as far as liquor is concerned, I am no saint and must have a couple of pegs every night but at home before dinner. Call it a habit or indulgence but it really helps soothe my nerves and I am able to think clearly and funnily I’ve been able to come up with many a solution to many a complex problems. My wife doesn’t mind because firstly she has me at the safe confines of home near her and secondly I tend to be more jovial and romantic. These are things I needed to add here and because it will help you understand the climax better. Well coming back to the present I decided to go to my favorite bar.

This is the joint where I sometimes hang out with my close friends or come alone to relax with some extra shots as my wife does not permit more than two pegs and I am ok with that. However today she will have to drink her glass of wine alone. I felt a tinge of guilt but let it pass by. By the way I have a well stacked bar at home { because I get a pretty good amounts gifted by distributors as they have to keep me in good humor because the purchase orders need my initials}.

Well I reached the place and the valet took my car to park and as I entered the bartender, who knew me, came out to wish me and ushered me to a quiet corner. He knew that my coming alone meant that I would like to be left alone. Being a Monday the place was quite empty and the perfect setting for my mood and I had my phone switched off. The bartender brought me my drink. Now as I started taking drinks one after another my thoughts started getting clearer and I felt much more better in my head and my conscience was less guilty.

My heart felt very light and I was aware now should be done and felt rejuvenated. Oh God how badly I needed this space. However I wasn’t sure if I could be as bold as I was just now. I hoped to God I would. Well as I drove home I started whistling to myself. Well the world was not such a bad place to live in. But I wasn’t aware that I was in for a shocker tomorrow. I had sobered up by the time I reached home.
