Hi Rahul,

Oh my gosh, this is so awkward. I'm going through a mix of emotions as I type this. On one hand, I can't stop laughing at this turn of events, and on the other, I'm a bit afraid as well. Afraid that I won't be able to garner the courage to express my feelings to Aman again.

Aman. Just his name makes me jittery. You know Rahul, since the day I met him, every day when our eyes meet, he gives me a longing smile. That's the only change I've seen on his usually stern face. Even in this last week.

All week I've waited for him to say something, to do something other than just smile. But no. Nothing happened. Anxiety was eating me all out. Only one thought flowed in my mind. Aman.

The day after I sent the mail, it was my most nervous day in the office. When I saw him that morning, my face lit up like a star, but his didn't flinch at all. It was his usual self. And that was what made me even more nervous. I had started to think that he was purposefully giving me this silent treatment. Making me regret my decision of hitting that send button.

But no. I was so very wrong. All this while, he never knew I had sent him any mail. Then how would he react at all? God, this is so awkward. Saying it all to you especially.

I mean we don't even know each other. But still, I want to say one last thing to you. Thanks a lot. Thanks for atleast making me aware of my mixup. And one last request, pray for me that I get that strength to ask him out once again. Bye.

Not your other half as well...lol...
Shruti.
