The Way We Met - 2
Sometimes, it takes forever to realize that you have already fallen in love with the person in your very first meeting and have been just ignoring all the time. The same happened between Alisha and Harshad after their very first venture of each other. How long did they take to finally realize their love? What if it's too late when they finally did?
The way we met:
Chapter-2:
"We expect you to rely on the organizational rules and regulations and comply with our policies to have a better, successful and a long-lasting career for you and as well as a successful future for your organization, because from this point of time, we call you all as a part of the organization."
"Do you all agree with me?" the Hr expected all the trainees to answer that question with an obvious 'yes' what if I don't agree? "This is it? Louder guys!" He urged after a low response from a few of us.
"Yes!!" I also joined my voice along with the other ten who joined along with me, well, we are called 'the team' you know -this team and all.
"Okay, guys, now let me introduce you to your team lead, Harshad" that statement of the Hr was followed by his own applause indirectly indicating all of us to join with him and when all of us did the same, I glanced over to the person who was just about to stand up from the front seat and I've already identified him before he turned around to show himself to the crowd.
"Shit" I mumbled immediately while I dropped my pen down intentionally and bent down to pick it up trying to hide myself from facing him.
"What's wrong?" Raj asked popping his head down.
"God! Raj don't look down at me, mind your work man!" I uttered still acting to be picking up something.
"But what happened?" I should know that he wouldn't listen until I explain him everything clearly. God! Please give him a little brain other than the usual academic intelligence.
"My dear Raj, this morning I had to do something abnormal from normal and miss my cab, had to literally go mocking behind a stranger on the road to get a free- in time ride only to come all the way here and find out that the stranger turns out to be my team lead and is ready to ROCK my world my entire time here" I mimicked sarcastically rolling my eyes while my hands reached the pen to pick it up and before I can pick it up a pair of black shoes stopped at my hand. I lifted my head to see who ever it is and I've just realized that I'm having the worst of fortune on the very first day of my work.
"You??" he exclaimed once I was standing right in front of him.
"No, no no no, it's not me. I mean I am not the me that you met in the morning, it's me but I am not like the one you met, It was me but I don't be like I appeared to you-"
I finally gave up stammering and sighed looking at him who was staring right at me all the while.
"Oh, I get it, so you have a split personality huh, Is that what you are trying to say?" He said while everyone around us laughed.
"I'm sorry-" I mumbled having my head down. "What?" He stressed with his hands folded and raised his eyebrows bending his head a little as if to reach my voice to his ears.
I swallowed the lump -"I am sorry".
"Come with me" he gestured and headed towards the front of the crowd while I followed him.
"Say it loud" He said once we were in front of the crowd and I felt completely annoyed and insulted. I had my head down all the while.
"I am-"
"Wait" He stopped me midway and I had to look up at him with an obvious question mark on my face.
"Just say your name and introduce yourself to everyone." He eyed me from the corner of his eye and I had to let out a big sigh of relief.
"Hey guys, I- I'm Alisha" I introduced myself trying to regain my confidence that I've lost just a while ago.
"Alisha, okay guys, as I've been already introduced to you all as your team lead, I'll be taking you all through the entire process as long as you stay here; It is really very important to show your right behavior in the right time and your first impression DOES matter" He eyed me while stressing that last part.
"Okay before we go into your new job perspectives and work I would need a team assistant who would represent you all and help me get the goal set in time. The tradition is that I nominate a person and you all can give your votes, is that alright with you?" he asked while everyone agreed.
"Fine then I would nominate Alisha for that, any objections, and suggestions, I am open for it all." He said and I had to literally open my eyes wide in literal shock. what is he up to
After about five minutes of discussion John came up with an opinion.
"Yeah, Harshad, we are perfectly okay with it, We have been in the same batch all through training and we have known her since past few months, we have no problem with it, what do you say folks?" He asked all and they agreed. Oh no! What exactly is happening? I am not really happy with this, I sense something else
That was followed by allocation of tasks to each of us and assigning our desks, overview of the work and job and allotting extra tasks to me as I was assisting Mr.Harshad and now I'm pretty much sure he is gonno give me a living hell here.
Finally I've reached the end of the day and right when I thought I would get my independence for the rest of the day, I was called by none other than the monster of my day;
I went into his cabin frowning in the inner side still managing to hold a so-called sweet corporate smile on my face.
"Yes, Harshad, you need something?" I managed to keep the false pleasure going.
"Well, nothing, I thought of telling you certain things prior to your regular onfeild work from tomorrow-" he sounded extremely professional, and that's what I am supposed to sound like right, yeah as hell!
"oh-okay and that is?"
"Yeah, I'm coming to that, listen Alisha, there are a lot of things you must learn here, you are still a student, come out of that attitude okay, you are actually done being chilled out and easygoing, you should learn to do things on a much higher seriousness, you are being paid for what you deliver and we expect only high performance from each one of you, I can completely agree that you might have caliber, but you should even have right attitude, you know what I mean right? And to help you work on that and develop such skills much faster I've assigned you this extra job, you get that?" he finally stopped. how can someone give such a boring lecture at a stretch? Gosh he looks so young but his brain is so old and outdated !!
"Did you say something?" he asked after waiting for my response.
"No, I mean yes, I said yes, yes" I sighed looking at him. He observed me for the briefest moment and then nodded. "Alright, now you can leave for today, tomorrow, a fresh day, and new attitude, I want you to behave professional okay?"
"Yeah-" I nodded and turned around to leave.
"Wait-"
I turned on my heels again. "I know there is no restriction for your dressing here but I don't want you to look like this" he pointed his index finger towards my attire. I was in my three-forth jeans pair, my white top hanging loosely up to my hip where it is being tied up with an accessory hip-belt ; My hair loosely hanging with curls falling on the side of my face and maybe my accessories were more over the top with pair of bracelets to my right hand and all.
"I mean I want you to look simple and professional, remove all the funky things you get it, and may be make your hair much simple, okay?" funky? That's style, you freak!
"Oh-okay" I uttered.
"Yeah, good, now you can leave, see you tomorrow and on time even to catch the cab remember that-"
"Sure, that won't repeat, see you"
God! I hate Him!!!!!
