It was almost 2 am as Samir walked across to the mens room, his hands full with print out of the reports to be presented to the Senior management the following day. The office was deserted, save a couple of consultants and support staff who sauntered around majestically. After-office hours Support Staff turn into tigers in a national reserve. A lady dressed in spotless white churidhar stopped Samir and asked if she can talk to him. They decided to discuss at Samir's cabin in 5 minutes time
Samir was back at his desk in 2 minutes and was packing up to leave for the day when the lady appeared again with 2 mugs of steaming hot coffee
hey come in ! So how can I help you ? Asked Samir (he wanted to add that he hates coffee..but did not)
I am Chandni - She responded (that explains your white dress thought Samir and almost smiled )
I used to work as a interior designer for this building. I spent a lot of effort in getting it to this state – she added
Samir interrupted her - You have done a great job Chandni (what else does a Manager do anyway right, they say great or use some similar adjective or talk about improvement)
Chandni was not interested in any appreciation, she continued and said - See you are the first one I am telling this, I need your help to get me out of this building
You are not on "office-arrest" or something right, take the elevator and get out of this place. Who is stopping you ? was Samir's immediate reaction
Well its complicated, you need to go to the XX000 conference room on the 6th floor, to the left of the door there is a wall, exactly 4 feet from the far most left corner go break the wall, you will find my dead body. My parents are still searching for me and for some reason they can neither see me or hear me, i want them to know I am dead ... get me out please ..she pleaded
Soaked in fear and sweat, Samir fell off his bed and that woke him up, his heart was beating like jungle drums, the clock ticked to 7.00 AM and a little tweety came out to announce the same....woooosh..thank god, that was a dream, the heart beat slowed down and was getting back to its normal pace. Samir stole a kiss from his wife and kid who were deep asleep and without disturbing them he started with his daily chores and in the process forgot about his dream. Samir got ready to office and for a change the drive to office was wonderful, hardly any traffic and was hoping to have a "issue-less" day at office. He opened his cabin door and almost froze to death ...Two Coffee Mugs at his desk !
