Virgin Diaries : Chapter 1

I was just walking as usual through the corridors.It was noon and I was too much hungry that the only thing that bothers my busy mind was to eat something before the canteen closes.Usually I used to arrive for my lunch earlier but today I was late after a conversation with my mom who was sad that I dropped a recent marriage proposal.Yes that girl was a sort of dumb bureaucrat and was not at all of my tastes.It was better that I dropped her.As usual most of the seats were empty and canteen looks as dull as the  climate.I occupied my usual spot at the corner of the room facing the door.The small window on my side was closed as usual and the dark shades of trees is dimly visible through the glass and it kept looking like it’s smirking at me.As I was lost myself in my thoughts I never noticed a women sitting in a table across the room.

It was almost an year since she started working here in City International and from the first day onwards she always used to be  busy with her work and her stressful life keep on questioning her limits.Despite doing the role of creative writer for the magazine each and everyday it felt like she was loosing her taste for creativity.I just need a break and it’s so necessary or else I will loose everything.Lost in her thoughts she was having the usual stale chapati and masala curry which was quite enough for her belly.Canteen was almost empty and with the aged couples at distant corner and a man of early 30s were the only ones present.The couple’s were enjoying their time together and were busy talking as if they have just met each other after a long time. The other occupant was the man in his early 30s probably working in one of clerical departments on second floor.His shabby looking dress and the tiredness shows the very idea that the man is from one of those departments.Inspite of having seen so many like him, there was something in his outlook that brings in an attraction.Suddenly she had a feeling that she had known him in the past .A sense of fear erupted inside her.
