To be jealous & to kiss ass😆
It was 7ish at 7th floor at Spectrum
"If you can think about atleast logging back on by August 15st, we are all good"
Bally was no nonsense like he always was in biz meetings
"The due date is first week of May, so that gives 12 weeks plus 1" II mumbled doing quick math
"U can take time off here and there after. I wish Ritu had been here today, she had to be at Food World HQ" Bally looked preoccupied
"Do u know if u can travel much afterwards?" he asked looking at her thoughtfully
AYYYO!!
SERIOUSLY?
LEAVING MY TINY LIL BABY AT HOME AT 12 WEEKS?
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
PLEASE SAY U ARE KIDDING
SMILE BALLY AND WINK DA
PLEEZ
"Umm... travel matlab?"
"where we deploy u know, this is not official yet so if I were u I wont repeat it" he said scribbling on his note pad
"Kya?" she asked
The baby was extra active today, her back spasms were exponentially more painful, it was like a 5 feet sheet of dough was stretched over a air plane
Her skin was so tight across her belly, a tiny stroke was going to make it tear up and explode
And the baby had decided he was going to take soccer lessons the remaining 8 weeks
AYYYO
She rubbed her hand over her new silk kurti blouse.
Much like all her post wedding outfits was expensive and elegant
The black tights were ultra comfy, allowing her to scratch her dry thighs every few minutes
She stroked the baby a few times
He responded calming down
MUST BE LIKE ME
CANT BE LIKE HIM
RAKSHASAN!!
ALWAYS OUT OF CONTROL
And then, a sound kick, her face turned red as she fought the pain
"Umm... Bansal thinks by the end of the year this SW thing could be its own company with some IT guy heading it, since they are planning to go the cloud way
"Cloud?" II's eyes lit up
He smiled
"Cloud Applications Engineer" he smiled tempting her
"Ive only fixed bugs in a Accounting/database cube, cloud" II tried to be modest
"Depends on how we scale it, I am guessing they are thinking of acquiring some desi cloud startup to get a head
start, so there will be plenty of jobs, at first it will all be with a sales flavor, jo hai usko bechenge uske baad we will begin building customized solutions"
"again selling?" II made a face
"Technology sales is where most sales growth is" Bally said bluntly
I SUCK AT IT
SO NO
THANKS!!
"This doesnt impact my maternity does it?" she asked cautiously
"Oh no""Nahi yaar" Bally spoke Hindi
It was reassuring to her
"Is Ritu OK with my LOA?" Ii asked
Bally did not answer immediately "she is... she is, usne remotely log in karna tha, she texted me minutes before our meeting" "Bangalore traffic seems hellish""Photo dekhegi?" he asked
II felt a wave of unadulterated jealousy , SHE used to be the one sending pictures from Atlanta and Tanjore and such, now its Ritu..
II didnt wnat to see, she pretended to press the space key on her laptop, furiously
"Yeh dekh, she sent me 17 picturesof the same spot" Bally laughed
"Why didnt u come to the godh bharai?" II asked
SINCE WE ARE NO LONGER TALKING ABT WORK
AND OGLING RITU'S TAKE ON BANGALORE
U MUST ANSWER MY PERSONAL KOSTIN
PAAVI
"Yaar bataya na tujhe, I had to go bring Suman's Dad from Kanpur" Bally set the phone down realizing Ii didnt care to see Ritu's pictures
"U were home by Noon no?" Ii argued
"Dekh Iyer I got home at 1:17 PM... tab khaane aata kya?" he asked smiling
"No, Bally u can just tell me weve grown apart and this baby and my maternity is not helping the situation" II spoke agonized
He threw his head back and laughed, rolled on the floor, and shook, gasping
II looked all mad and upset
"Kya hua?"
"Agar room mein recording devices hota they can hear what u said" he SMHed
"Sahi to kaha maine"
"U sound like the baby is MINE" he laughed again
II chuckled too "it can be yours if u want, but my husband will kill u" she said blushing
"Woh waise bhi aise dikhta hai jaise uska mooh kam aur laath zyaada baat karta hai" Bally pretended to be afraid of him
"Happy anniversary Iyer" he walked over and hugged her
"Oh yaaa u remembered" II was angry
"Suman aur tu ek hi industrial mold se baney ho shaayad woh bhi bilqul aise hi mera khoon choosti hai, baap rey kya sarcasm hai" Bally stood his arm wrapped around her
"I expected atleast a Daily perk brownie" II mumbled
"TUJHE TREAT dena hai mujhko... chor kahin ki" Bally scolded
"Come home no, aaj aaogey?" she asked eagerly"Even Ritu is not in town" II blurted
Bally froze
"Kya?" he asked turning around stopping as he opened the door to the conf room, without realizing R&B stood a few feet away looking in
UMMM...
AYYYOOO
U JUST TOLD UR BOSS'S BOSS THAT U HATE UR BOSS
NIIICEEE
GOOD JOB II
PEEDAI
II fumbled on the floor with a power cord, having multiple face palm moments under the conf table
"I mean u wont have late meetings no? Ghar jao aur Suman Ankur Anay ko lekar aa jao, I will make karhi?" Ii smiled, acting very "cool"
"This can be misconstrued as kissing ass" Bally laughed
"I dont want it to be "misconstrued" II said smugly "Mujhe tum chahiye" II said firmly
"How ever bad my Hindi sounds" she continued fumbling under the conf room table
"Dekh boss, on the first anniversary she is hitting on a man married for 12 years and pushing 40"
Bally said loudly as II wrapped her power cord around the battery case, the men greeted and
hugged and shook hands "First she gave me the baby and now she wants me" Bally chuckled
She turned startled
"I see that"R&B muttered walking inside and picking up her Macbook pro, as she picked up her water bottle and snack bowl, and phone
