Love in the rain

Some say love is brace of emotion which starts at a moment and change the life of human.

This story comes deep from my heart and again as I normally say before writing each of my fiction that it’s only a fiction nothing more.

The story is about two office colleagues Ryan Rao and Kanak Urs. Ryan and Kanak use to work for Hypermedia Inc at Bangalore. Both were engineers by profession and were part of same team. Ryan although a senior for kanak was more a friend. Sam was Senior Team lead for the team and Mir used to work in the same team under Ryan.

Ryan was a friendly guy who was basically a South Indian guy but was born and bought up in North India. Kanak was a typical North Karnataka girl. Karnataka is divided into two major portions North Karnataka(NK) and South Karnataka(SK).

Well to start off, Ryan joins the team of Mir, Sam and Kanak. There was plenty of work assigned to Sam and Sam asked for a resource to his manager which led to Ryan joining the team.

Ryan was introduced to his new team my Sam’s manager and Sam was asked to share the work with Ryan. Ryan introduced himself with Sam and Mir and turned towards Kanak to say Hi. Kanak responded with a small Hello.

Ryan was quick to ask whether you belong to NK.

Kanak responded with smile saying How come you came to know?

Ryan had already hit the Bulls Eye

A quick discussion with Sam on responsibilities in project followed by a tea was a warm welcome for Ryan in the Team. Ryan started working in team and was working on some independent module and use to help Mir and Kanak in their complex day to day tasks. Mir became friend to Ryan and they used to hang out together on tea breaks. Kanak started hating that and one day she openly blasted Mir asking why don’t you call me for tea and soon Kanak also became a tea partner.

It was month of December around 22^nd I guess when one day the team had to deliver a lot of deliverables before going for holidays. The clock had already struck 8:00PM but still there was no sign of work getting over. Ryan asked Kanak to leave for the day and asked Mir to stay . Kanak refused saying that she will also stay with us to finish off the task. Sam ordered couple of pizza’s and the work continued till 11:00. The project was in a good shape but it was too late for the team. Sam contacted to Travel desk for cab but the cab’s were not available.

Sam asked Ryan to drop Kanak to her house on his bike and asked Mir if he can stay at his place. Mir was fine with the same. It was already 11:30 when Ryan pressed the self-start button and vroomed his bike from office parking. Kanak was bit scared to sit behind a guy, guess she was first time sitting on someone’s bike.

By the time they had crossed ITPL rain started. It was already late and temperature being cold, Ryan decides that he will drop Kanak then only will stop for a tea. Within minutes both were drenched and Ryan stopped the bike near a so called Tea shop. Ryan couldn’t resist watching Kanak while having a sip of tea. Kanak was already wet and droplets of water falling from her hair made her look prettier than how she was. Kanak caught Ryan staring at her and asked what you are looking at. Ryan lied like a nerd engineer saying that I am thinking about one of the defects in the code. It was an early sense for Kanak that Ryan has started falling in love. Although Kanak holding bars behind the pillion seat on bike Ryan took a quick view of her in rear mirror and asked are you comfortable?

Kanak replied I am fine……

Days went on and the project went Live in middle Sam had left the org and Ryan was assigned the lead role before the crucial release. Ryan had slowly built his reputation in the org and had almost replaced Sam. Kanak and Ryan were more than friends.

Somewhere deep in the heart Kanak had fallen in love with Ryan but feared that she will lose friendship with Ryan if she expressed her emotions.

It was in month of March when Ryan and Kanak left for home and rain started again. Kanak was holding Ryan shoulders. Ryan asked Kanak whether to stop the bike. Kanak in reply asked Ryan to turn the bike on NH 7 for a long drive. Ryan pressed brake suddenly and asked Kanak have you gone Mad!!!!

Kanak asked Ryan to continue drive bike on NH7. Ryan followed like a puppet and after driving across the city limit Ryan stopped the bike near a corn vendor. It was outside city and not many people were visible on roads being a weekday. Kanak removed her sandal and started dancing on road like a peacock dancing in rain. Ryan also loved it but Kanak was the person who was enjoyed the most.

Kanak came and jumped into Ryan’s arm and staring at earth expressed her feeling for Ryan. Ryan tears were visible in Rain when he accepted his proposal by kissing her on forehead.

There is more to write about their breakup which I will write some other day with a heavy heart.
