That Monday morning

Leaving for office in a crisp clothes was not something Marc always liked to do. But today was a special day. He had an agenda in mind today. Even though it was Monday, the day was relatively relaxed with lesser meetings schedules. He would do it today. The weekend was spent wondering whether we would actually able to muster his courage to do it. Spraying himself with an overdose of his favourite deodrant, Marc left for work.

He was among the first one to get into the car parking. The security guard gave him a strange smile but Marc was lost in his own world. Strapping his bag on the shoulder, he tentatively checked the contents of the bag. Yes he had carried it to the office. He moved towards the lift and then suddenly saw her.

She was at the far end of the porch wearing a stunning floral print outfit. She looked gorgeous and Marc took a deep breath. It had been a couple of months since she had joined his company. Soon they were begin work on a project together. He had really started liking her. They shared a good rapport and workplace had become off late very exciting.

Marc moved in her direction ignoring the gaping doors of the lift. He caught her eye and waved out to her. She too waved back and they moved towards each other. Within yards of each other, Marc was a little tensed. He brushed aside his pessimism and greeted her with an exuberant hello. She looked very happy and like always was smiling. Now they were facing each other and Marc touched his bag trying to open the flap. She brought forward her left hand and screamed "Hey dude, look at this, I just got engaged last evening"..........
