"its okay.. happens sometimes... just take a break.." Tani suggested me adjusting the sheets over us.. "no.. it's not oaky..!! Its hell frustrating man..!!!" I was seriously frustrated.. agitated..!! this was the third time I failed!!! Ujaan Bagchi failed..!!!

But what the hell was wrong with me?? Being with sucha seductress like Tani, I wasn't getting aroused??? Ugghh...!! Damn work stress..!! na.. this wasn't even work stress..!! for after the joining of Rohit and Sri, our work had lessened to quiet an extent.. the management was right about its decision..!!! especially Sri..!!! She is exceptionally good...!! hey.. wait wait?? Was it cause of Sri?? Was I thinking about her too much?? Damn.. this girl..

"Tani.. lets go for it once again..." confidence showered out of my voice.. this time I will succeed.. I know... but Tani frowned... frowned bad... "Ujaan.. I am tired today... please.. anyways... I am calling my husband to comeback soon.. it has been long since I have been with him..".. that was it.. I surely knew... it was my last night with her..shit man..!!! what a good bye..!! she will think I am no more a man!! But again... what the hell is wrong with me????

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I returned to my camp with the breaking of dawn...at least Tani has shown me the courtesy not to throw me away at the middle of night..!! I was feeling dizzy..!! damn.. I couldn't release.. I wasn't satisfied.. and now I was tired.. and today I have a morning shift.. so I had to rush within half-an-hour to relieve the last shift's staff..!!

hell..!! yester night.. Sri was at duty.. I should rush.. the sooner I reach, the sooner she will hand-off the shift..!! this girl works a lot..!! stresses a lot.. had it been someone else, I would be at ease.. but she... Christ!! Why am I thinking like this??? Thinking of her..??

Our camp was single room temporary rooms... with a kitchen... toilet and one bedroom.. that's it..!! with two single beds.. two cupboards.. and a mirror.. a table and two chair..!! this comprised of our little den.. our bachelor's den.. entering the camp I went to kitchen and had lungs full of water..!! and then bedroom... just to take out my clothes.. I cant go to office in this fucked-up state...!! but ... but where's Sambit..??? off.. must be off for jogging... this guy..!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I gulped the coffee.. and rushed to office, only to kill a part of me again!! I saw Sri's and Sambit's laptops both on the table.. but where were they?? A fear struck me... these days they were quiet a good friend... their friendship made Mohit backout... Arup wasn't interested..!!! but wait.. Yester night it was Arup's and Sri's shift.. what as Sambit doing here??? And where was Arup...

"where are you??? You havn't signed the log book even??" I almost yelled at Arup over the phone... "ohho... weren't you in your room last night..??" he was visibly irritated... "what do you mean..??" I demanded... "Sambit switched my shift with his... Now if you call me once again.. I will kick your ass out..." with his last words.. I heard his snores.. idiot..!! but what did he say?? Samu switched his shift..?? why? To stay up with Sri..?? best buddies..!! I hissed to myself... it was nothing like she didn't speak to me..yes.. ofcoarse she did.. she smiled.. she hi-fi'ed with me at our developing plans... but whenever it came to personal chats.. she was completely closed..!! shut..!!

I came out of the office building and smiled at the sight... Sri was explaining the drawings to the labours.. again.. in a long skirt.. and peach top.. her boycut hair had already grown till her shoulders..!!! beautifull...!!! thank god.. Sambit was nowhere to be seen...!! but why was I feeling relieved seeing her alone...

"Sri..." I called out.. she turned back.. and smiled... I approached her... just to find out.. only her lips had curved.. her eyes weren't smiling..!! Has Sambit already told her where was I last night?? Hell... fucking idiot..!!

"its good you came...Ujaan..".. she chirped.. "umm... let me sign the log book and leave... my back is aching like anything.." she smiled again... see..!! she smiled.. well behaved with me.. but she was not the Sri.. I wanted to talk to..

"Sri..." shit.. why did I stop her..!! "ya..." again that smile..!! off.. "umm.. where's is Sambit..???" I managed an excuse... "oh.. he is the southern sector..." her broad smile burnt me.. "by the way... I am taking his laptop with me.. ask him to collect it from my camp.. bye.. have a good day.." and she left..!! wait... what was the thing she said??? Sambit's invitation to her camp.. where I wasn't allowed even.. Am I thinking too much..??? I kept looking at her.. as she slowly walked away....
