Sunil was suppose to be discharged from his duties and responsibilities as Marketing Manager siliconindia.com today ie 22nd dec 09, we had planned a small surprise for him. But to our utter shock, we were told by lunch time,"today is his last day in office"ie 21 dec 09. We were not prepared for it, his gift was at my colleagues place close to office.
First we did was to compose ourselves and make arrangements to get the gift, without letting him know about it. We had lunch as early as possible to leave office before he drops in post lunch-break. By the time we were back he was at his desk, trying to wind up left over work. Cautiously I hid the gift in my helmet avoid his attention. He was suppose to leave by 4 pm.
By 3 pm all of us gathered at his desk to handover his farewell gift, a wrist watch along with a card. He was delighted to receive it from our end and promised a team lunch some time this week. Wished all of us gosdluck for future but for me, abhra & jaya he had something else to be said." All 3 of us should get married at the earliest and invite him for the same".
Post exchange of gift, I was too sad on the verge of an emotional break down. Reason for it was that I started my career under him, it has been two and half years since we were together. Just to make me comfortable he was cracking jokes to make the atmosphere cool. When I was about to leave for the day he told not to cry on reaching home. Didn't assured him anything and left the place.
Their has been a turn around since I joined office, all those who had joined before ma had left the firm. New face have taken their place but its not easy to be comfortable with them.
Today it was too difficult to be at my desk without Sunil next to me, a habit of 30 months. Initially it was bit difficult but as the hours are passing by am coming to terms with reality. Seems like things have changed a lot from yesterday till today. Now I need to move forward all my self without any support from any one.
