She has a ‘he’
in her and he is part of ‘she’
Sometime,
mid April 2011, when 'he' has been contemplating on his life and where is it
heading, he made a few firm decisions.
He calls
up The Man and says “Sir, I want to
talk to you something very important”
The Man “Anything serious? Hope everything is
fine”
He, “Nothing
serious, but something very important. I can come down now, if you are free. It
would take 20 minutes, is it okay?”
The Man “Um… yes, please come down. I will
wait for you in my office”
He, “Great!!
Will see you in 10 minutes” …..
He was little nervous and his heart was
pounding a little, not sure of the response to his talks, he was uncertain of
his approach. He was wondering, what if The
Man gets angry and annoyed and yell at him.. not sure of anything, he still
decided to go on and see what can happen….
10 minutes
later……………..
The Man, “welcome sir, how are you?” extended
his hand for a handshake
He, “Thanks
Sir, I am good, you?” shook hands with The
Man, little not so sure of how the conversation will shape up
The Man … “Please come, we shall sit in the
office” and walked firm.. ‘He’ obediently followed him and sat on a chair while
The Man took his chair and a big
table between us….The Man said….”yes
sir, how can I help you?” and smiled…….
He…..
little not so sure on how to start, drank water from his bottle and sat up firm,
he tried to have the best demeanour, to not give away his tension out to The Man in front of him.. with little
firm voice.. “so.. how are things? How are you and your son? What is he upto? I understand
from ‘she’ that he is better now and wants to rejoin my company. How is he now;
is he better and has no issues?”
The Man …”Oh yeah! He is good, I really
should thank you for your advice”, not sure if The Man really was thankful, ‘he’ sat on the chair, trying to listen
intently .. The Man continued “he is
a lot better now, I feel, he getting back to normal”
He..
smiled and said “glad sir, hope, everything is fine….” And got to the point..”Sir..
I have another very important thing to discuss with you. I am not sure, if you
are prepared for this, but I want to say what I think…..What do you think of ‘she’
and me together. I know ‘she’ from the time she has joined my company and I
think, I have started to like her. I wanted your opinion of what you think of
me… “
The Man was neither shocked nor surprised,
his expressions were a mix of a lot of things, mostly trying to hide his true
emotions ………..
‘He’ continued
“Sir… in my life, I have liked very few things and ‘she’ is one of them. I
feel, her upbringing is fine and suits my idea of a typical girl, who I want to
marry. I am not from a rich class, I am from a middle class family who has got
what I always wanted, because I have worked for it”……pause…and he continues “I
would like to marry ‘she’ and I wanted to inform you first before I talk to
her. I know, there would be issues, but I am okay to fight it out. I am not
sure of how much you know about me……..” and started to explain his upbringing
and what all he has done in the life so far
The Man listened to ‘he’ patiently with his
inputs of what he has done in his life and how things have been with him in
life, particularly about his son and ‘she’.
The Man, explained that he was
happy that ‘he’ was talking about ‘she’ to him first and not to ‘she’ directly.
The conversation went on for about half hour that evening between The Man and ‘he’, both trying to
understand how things can be worked out. It was a pleasant conversation, but ‘he’
had a lot of questions about the result
‘He’ was however
proud of his decision of talking to The
Man and said “I wanted to talk to you first and take your opinion, before I
speak to ‘she’. I want you to be aware of it and be okay with it”, for which The Man smiled and thanked ‘he’ and said
“let me talk to my wife on this and will let you know soon”….
‘he’ said…..”Sir,
I want to think about it thoroughly and let me know, because I do not want to
play around in such matters and get disappointed”… not sure of why he said
that. He did not have a negative thought in his mind for the entire
conversation and some amazing confidence that things will work out positively for
him, made him to speak more and more about his family and how things can be
worked out.
The Man in the end said, “sure sir, give me some
time, I shall discuss it with my wife and get back to you” and he asked, “do you
have your horoscope?” for which ‘he’ was not ready and said, “yes I do, only a
soft copy as I don’t carry hard copies J “. ‘he’
then showed the softcopy of the horoscope to The Man and he noted it on some paper and made some calculations
saying “I know how to read horoscopes and I am no master in it, but still excel
on basics” and the conversation went on how the matches are done for a while… The Man in the end came out and handed
over she’s horoscope to ‘he’ and said, “you can also show it to your people and
then get back”
The
conversation ended after 2 hours and The
Man left to his home. ‘he’ was elated with the conversation he has had with
The Man. He was all smiling and happy
about it and went home, only thinking of what had just happened……….
The Man, ‘he’ was
talking to all the time was his ‘would be father-in-law’ :) :) :) :)
