Aakash is a sofo (software engineer). He works day in and out trying to gain fame, ratings and a high customer satifaction index. His personal life is subdued by the professional life he leads. Eventually Aakash ends each day with utter satisfaction and each weekend spend at home with sheer dissapointment.
Akash has a friend. A good friend when you categorise friendship. He met her back in October 2006 at the training center of his company and since then for the last 3years by good or evil luck they shared each of their "working day". There are rumours all around (in the so called group of his fellow trainees and as well as in a later part in his team) that they make a good couple.
Simi is candid, stylish and suitable for all the adjectives that a girl can get from men. Folks at the workplace are scared of her mood, jealous of her personality and admirer of her beauty. Aakash is scared of her too and that's what made him hide his feelings for three long years.
God is kind and helpful. He create situations were unspoken words comeout easily and finally silence ease the situation.
It so happened that Simi spent a week at office in the training rooms. She was at a training and to her surprise she had to pair up with her crush for the five days of training to be done. Simi was in cloud 9. She chatted and chatted and started calling the week as the magical 5. To her amazement, her chat window popped up with a rose on the last day of her training. It was her man and all she could do was to say a mere thanks in reply.
Aakash was having yet another bad weekend sitting idle at home. Suddenly he saw the green light beside Simi's name was blinking. Ahh!! he had a sigh of relief. He is always in a comfort zone talking to Simi over the chat browsers. It started with the magical week that Simi had. She was going on and on and Aakash was slipping out of his comfort zone. Finally he couldnot resist to say - 'well Simi I wished I had a girlfriend like you'. Simi thought it to be the usual prank of him and replied - 'you would go crazy dude' . 'I am Simi' typed Aakash in a flash. A silence on the other side said it all. Simi was offline in an hour but the hour she spent online was without typing a single word in Aakash's window. Aakash guessed his luck on Monday and decided to spent the Sunday evening in a nearby pub.
Morning evening, Aakash's phone rang amidst his meeting. Phew!!! he ran to the balcony cursing his fate, and his words. There was Simi, red with rage. Aakash was running short of words. 'Actually... sorry' was the only two words he could mumble.'Sorry, what for, you know that you are an idiot' - sais Simi, 'Yes' - noded Aakash. His persipiration rate was increasing. His heart was beating faster. 'Why the hell didnt you tell me before, I had the same wish too u stupid.. an intelligent, soft spoken, hard working and caring fellow by my side'. 'What!!' Aakash didnot realise that he shouted.
Tuesday was special to both of them. Aakash and Simi were seen together in every break that they had. The team mates smiled, cracked jokes but were awesomely happy for them.
God smiled too. Only he knew that he had the last words to say. 'Bless you my child' - the heaven smiled on them.
