One fine day, Ajay rushed to Mahi with a big file in his hand. Mahi did not notice him. “Mahalakshmi. Excuse me!”, said Ajay. Mahi still did not bother. Ajay was standing behind Mahi. He moved to the front of Mahi and said “Hello, Mahalakshmi!”. She looked at him in surprise.
“Wassup?”, asked Ajay.
“Nothing. Nobody calls me ‘Mahalakshmi’”
“That’s your name rite?”
“But…”
“I can’t call you by your pet name unless you give me permission.”
Mahi smiled and continued, “That is not an issue. You can very well call me, ‘Mahi’.”
“Ok. Thank you and one more thing. Finalise this ‘Salary Revision’ file and get it back to me”, said Ajay and placed the file on her desk and left.
Mahi got irritated. She had planned for an outing with her parents on that day. And now he had dumped her with job. “He spoke as if he is the gentlest man on this world and at last dumped me with work. Nonsense fellow!”, scolded Mahi in her mind. She has already completed her day’s work and was about to leave. Suddenly, she got unexpected piece of work. She went through the file, but she couldn't concentrate and was only thinking about her parents. She was irritated and restless. She stood up and walked to Ajay.
“Ajay, I would like to leave for the day.”
“But, the file?”
“If you don’t mind, I shall take it home and finish it off.”
Mahi was sternly looking into Ajay’s eyes.
“Okie. No issues for me. Keep going”, said Ajay and turned towards his computer.
Mahi came to her place, rushed up with her bags and the file, down to the parking slot. She drove fastly to home. Her parents were dressed up and were desperately waiting for her. She quickly dressed herself and together they left for enjoying the evening.
Next day morning, Mahi seemed tensed and restless. She had not only completed the file, but had lost it too. She enquired the security people, searched on her desk and in parking space. But, she was unable to find it. She started weeping. She came very early to office. No one else has turned up yet. She was all alone and weeping.
“No crying Mahi. Here is your file”, said Ajay with a smile, holding the file in his hands. He was dressed up in formals. Mahi was totally surprised. She could hardly find a word to speak out. Mahi said,”Thank you!”, as a token of gratitude. She flipped through the pages of the file. The quoted rates were finalized. She was amazed. She grew respect for him. She understood his humbleness. “He had not even said any word about my carelessness. He is too good. How evil of me, to think bad of him. Unknowingly, I left the file in parking area, I guess. But, he is too good to save it and got the work completed too. He is really a wonderful person”, felt Mahi.
She took the file and went directly to him. “Ajay, Thank you so much for finalizing the rates too. I am really sorry for all that had happened”, said Mahi. Ajay seemed bit tensed up. “Are you sure that you went through the entire file?”, asked Ajay. “No. I went through only initial pages and I thought… Ok let me check the entire file and get back to you”, said Mahi and went off, not even waiting for Ajay’s reply. Ajay watched her leaving his room, with mounds of tension and restlessness.
“Wassup?”, asked Ajay.
“Nothing. Nobody calls me ‘Mahalakshmi’”
“That’s your name rite?”
“But…”
“I can’t call you by your pet name unless you give me permission.”
Mahi smiled and continued, “That is not an issue. You can very well call me, ‘Mahi’.”
