More C than A.

I casually stroll into office at my usual time, which is earlier than anybody else’s. But, boss makes it earlier than I do! I have to record my in-time and pass through a long corridor which smells horrible in the morning. Prema smiles while dusting the office. I pass her and I enter the creative room where I see a large floral arrangement placed on my table. I have a funny face when a colleague turns around and smiles too. I ask him, ‘Who’s is this!!!’ It wasn’t my birthday or any occasion I remembered. He is still smiling. I start wondering if something was funny.

The card gave me four options. A, B, C or/and D. No name. I suddenly remember the Ohana (fine flowers) shoot that was scheduled for Saturday. I thought the lady decided to bring them in a day prior to the shoot. But, no. I was informed the courier was for me.

The entire office quizzing me and smiling endlessly was absurd. But I felt good. The flowers were the prettiest I had seen for long. The whites and blues were divine. It was special. The scent filled the office. But I had no clue who had taken the pains to send it. Maybe there was another bouquet on its way that would reveal the name!


The rest of the day was spent trying to find out ‘who had swiped the card on the net’!

I know now who it is :) Thanks.
