Ok Mr. Raj, you can go to the next cabin for your HR interview. Raj had been looking for a job for the last three months following the shutdown of his earlier company. After what seemed to be hundreds of applications and thousands of emails and communications, had landed up an interview in WesIT an IT company in Pune. He had around 5 years of experience and was living in Pune since his engineering education days in a hostel then and now in an apartment. The technical interview had gone pretty ok as per Raj so he gave himself a 50-50 chance for selection (in his mind). He wanted the job as soon as possible, as he was running out of cash reserves and needed money badly even to pay the rent of his 1BHK apartment in Pune.
As he walked past the reception area to the HR cabin, there were atleast 10 people seated there. As per the company website, there was only one vacancy. "Woah.....my chances are about 10% I guess" thought Raj sadly, as he looked at those guys. With a heavy heart and a bowed head he opened the cabin door and peeked inside.
The lady that he saw was quite an eye-catcher. It was as if someone had tickled him on the insides. He didnt realise that his jaw had dropped and that he hadnt said anything after peering inside. The girl looked up questioningly at him and after a few seconds asked, "Yes?". Hearing no response and seeing the same expression, she asked again a little more loudly. "Yes? Are you one of the candidates?" Finally this time, Raj collected himself and said "Yes....".
"Well, come in" She said. Raj again went into his dream like state for a few moments, before he finally heard her repeating the same thing upon which Raj sat on the chair hurriedly as if he had just caught a bus.
The girl was b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l. It was Navratri time and she had worn a superb dark blue chiffon saree that fabulously contrasted her fair and pinkish skin. She had an almond shaped face, with deep brown eyes and perfect lips. The red lipstick was a great match to her slightly cherubic face and cute dimpled chin. She had tied her hair into an elegant knot with some strands playing on her cheeks. She had worn black rimmed spectacles. Her blouse was sleeveless and was tailored in such a way that it ever so slightly revealed the cleavage of her medium breasts, which looked firm and tight. "It might just be the tailor's talent to design the blouse that way" thought Raj as he tried to get a grip on himself. He was already experiencing a choked throat and there was an uncomfortable tightening in his pants. He almost felt like jumping on the girl, kissing and fucking her all over. He decided to look away while the girl started to bend and pull out some papers from the lower most drawers of her cabin desk.
"Nice drawer you have here" said Raj, dumbly.
He got a quizzical look from the girl.
Embarrased and realising what he had said, he corrected himself "Nice cabin you have here......I mean its nice and airy......Nice ventilation."
The cabin had no windows.
"Otherwise its a pretty hot day" Raj continued...."I mean outside...outside....." The girl looked at him from above her spectacles sharply for a second, but then dropped her eyes to the papers that she was scrambling. Raj thought that he saw a shadow of a smile on the girl's face, but almost a moment later, he was sure he had just imagined it.
Raj had now become silent, because part of him realised that he wasnt in his right senses !! He was mesmerized by the girl's presence and had already started imagining the stuff in romantic movies.
"Ok So you are....." said the girl
"Raj....Raj....." Raj said hurriedly.
"Ok. But your full name is?" asked the girl
"My name is Rajendra Shyam Gore" said Raj.
"Ok. Raj....Can I call you Raj?" asked the girl.
"Yes of course....its my pleasure" Raj blurted out again.
"What is your pleasure?" asked the girl, this time smiling slightly.
"Im sorry, I meant to say that its ok, you can call me Raj" Raj said aware that his previous response was again very stupidly framed. At the same time, her smile had tickled his insides again.
"Ok, so Raj, Im Trisha. I am the HR head here. The HR interview and all the commercial negotiations are done through me."
After this, Trisha asked questions and Raj replied to all of them. Some of them with a hint of doubt, some of them confidently, but most of them in a 'stuttering' manner.
"Ok. Ok. But Raj, can I ask you something? Why do you stutter so much while speaking? It could be a problem while you are doing a presentation....We want a guy who is good with clients..." said Trisha.
"Sorry....sorry madam...."
"You can call me Trisha." said Trisha.
"Oh can I? Thank you so much.....Uh.....sorry Trisha what I meant was that I am only stuttering because of you.........ummm.....no I dont know......" Raj replied. This time he was totally aware of his stutter.
"Ok. You know what Trisha....." sighed Raj. "Its just that I am so nervous.....since this is an interview"
In his mind he knew that he was just so captivated by this phenomenal beauty in front of him !! His ears had been red since he was inside the cabin and he feared that Trisha might see smoke coming out of his ears !! The stuttering had a different reason to it !!
Finally after what seemed like an era, Trisha finally told him "Ok. Raj that kind of concludes our interview, unless you have any other questions".
"No, dont have any other questions"
"Would you like to have a coffee?" asked Trisha.
"Sure sure....where should we go?" Raj responded...........a weird kind of response again.
Trisha smiled at him and this time it was a dazzling white smile, her even white teeth showing and said "There is a coffee machine....let me take you"
There was something different again with this smile - it was kind of mischievous and as if she was partly amused and aware that the guy in front of her had gone bonkers over her. However, whatever the meaning to the smile, it made Raj's heart melt....He felt as if someone had struck him....he started seeing lightning bolts and stars around him.
"The coffee machine is here. Ill just go to the washroom and come" said Trisha.
"Ill come to the washroom too...." said Raj.
"What?" asked Trisha.
"I mean Ill go to the washroom too...." "need to relieve myself so badly..." said Raj unnecessarily.
Trisha laughed again throwing her head back this time. Her laugh sounded like a squeal of pleasure in bed, thought Raj and the tightening feeling intensified. Worried that she may see the rising 'moutain' in his pants, he rushed off to the washroom.
Once he was finished, he strolled upto the coffee machine and waited for Trisha to come. He saw her through the transparent partition door. She had let her hair down and walked easily with grace. When she came through the door, Raj noticed that her hips were quite large. The saree - like the blouse was hugging her hips tightly. Her pallu was like a broad strip pinned onto blouse at the shoulders. Her lean arms were well toned. Her complexion was flawless. A few beauty spots were visible even from a distance. Her hair was smooth, silky, voluminous and had a brownish tinge to it. It fell right down to her hips.
"Hello Raj...please help yourself, the cups are kept here in the upper cabinet" said Trisha.
Raj was looking at Trisha's cups.
Trisha stretched and reached out on the upper cabinet. Raj was standing alongside and noticed that her butts were quite small compared to her hips. Raj got his cup out too and they enjoyed a cup of coffee. Once they were done -
"Well nice to meet you Raj. Hopefully we will see you soon !!" said Trisha.
"When? When can I see you again?" asked Raj by mistake sounding like an utter despot, which he was in this case !!.
Trisha smiled again - this time the mischievous smile, which had made Raj's heart melt.
"Well, as I said, the selection review process takes time, if you are selected, hopefully WE will see you soon !!" said Trisha, emphasizing 'WE'. Raj was quite sure that she had read his thoughts quite clearly.
"Alright, bye then, pleasure meeting you, Trisha" Raj extended a hand. Trisha shook it and held it for a fraction of a second longer than necessary, Raj felt. But maybe it was just his imagination, he thought.......or was it a signal?
"Ok. Ill go now, you take care" said Trisha just waiting there, as if she did not want him to leave. 'Take care?' what sort of a farewell words are those? Does she care for me? Is it another signal?
"Yeah. you too b....uh Trisha" Raj caught himself at the last moment. He had almost said "Yeah, you too baby!!"
"Oh, Trisha - can I get your mobile no. please?" asked Raj.
"Oh sure, sure Raj. Here it is" She pulled out her card and gave it to him.
Raj left. At night, as he was lying down, he pulled out her card from his wallet and kissed it.
And with a picture of Trisha in her gorgeous chiffon saree plastered in his mind, he slept blissfully - hugging a pillow.
