*A normal morning at the end of the road in which Sheetal had her house*


Abhishek was waiting for Sheetal as he used to every day.

"For how long you have been waiting?"

"30 minutes. For how long you are going to continue this?"

"Continue what?"

"Keeping me waiting for you."

"Forever!" she smiled as she used to every day. This was almost a normal conversation every day they met.


"Ok, so now can we go?"

"Sure Abhishek Ji", and she smiled again.

Sheetal and Abhishek worked in the same office. It had been almost two years since they knew each other and Abhishek was waiting like this outside Sheetal's house for about six months now.

There was something sort of an attachment between them which they both refused to accept.


"Hey get ready everyone. Boss has called for an emergency meeting." Avinash the team leader screamed.

"Don't know for what he is furious today.", Abhishek said.

"Just pray it's not our mistake."

"He is master in finding faults you wouldn't have ever thought of."


"Hey, Abhishek what you have got to discuss at this time? You are in the meeting room now." Avinash was looking furiously at Abhishek.

They both went silent.

The meeting ended. The company sales were going continuously down and the Sunil, managing director wanted Avinash and his team to come up with a new advertisement idea. Abhishek being onè of the most senior workers was under quite a stress to come up with an idea.


"What are you thinking Abhi?"

"You know Sheetal. I am screwed. If I don't come up with an idea. My demotion is fixed. Avinash already has his eye on me."

Well, such things were not a serious problem for Abhishek. He was quite innovative and hardworking. He too knew he would find a way out. But how?


*Evening*

"Aren't you going home Abhishek?"

"Yes let's go."

While walking home they kept discussing ideas for the advertisement.

It didn't take long for Abhishek to find an idea he woke up the whole night and created a beautiful poster. Avinash even after being a staunch opponent of Abhishek couldn't abstain himself from praising him. Sheetal and other team members worked on the design.

The idea was accepted.

It has been a week since the meeting and everything was going right.

*


That night Abhishek received Sheetal's message.

"Hii."

"Hllw."

"Still awake?"

"Yupp. Just checking out feeds."

"Hey Abhi. I just wanted to ask you a question?"

"Yes yes go ahead."

"How do you come up with such great ideas?",


Willing to ask what he felt about her Sheetal feelings were completely overpowered by the backspace button.

"Just instinctively. There is nothing big I have done. You have done amazing designing too."


Although they chatted quite long they couldn't say what they wanted. Damn the backspace.

Sheetal couldn't sleep that night nor could Abhishek. Both were lamenting and cursing the backspace for successfully ruining their relationship. Both were searching for a perfect moment when they could confess what they had in their hearts.


*May God give them a chance*

*Next morning*


Abhishek was waiting outside the lane for about twenty minutes. She saw Sheetal coming out of her house. Abhishek went dumbfounded after seeing her. Sheetal had never looked more beautiful than this.


"You are looking so beautiful today!"

"Thanks, Abhi."

"But that doesn't mean I will not say that please stop being late now."

"Then why don't you do something so that we start together in the morning?", she blushed and put her head down.

"Really?"

"You heard it right?"

"So will you marry me?"

"Still doubted?", and they held hands and headed towards the office.
