“Hi deer! you look beautiful in DP ! Give number.”

Deepa saw the DM and said “Ewwww!”

Everyone in office looked at her.

“Ouch , I didn’t realise. I thought I said it in my head.”

She scrolled through the app. Couples making out. newly weds either  taking trips or having babies, few buying flats , some buying new cars …life was as if big holiday on display. A perfect world, happy,  content and full of cheerfulness.  An utopia ! Deepa sighed! Her love life was her work as of now. Dating apps had given her enough trauma and she had permanently deleted them. Everyone wanted to just hook up ! What about love ? Does it even exist ? Will she ever find her person …someone who will adore her for being who she was,  someone who will protect her as if his life was at stake , someone who will think she is the one ?

“Hello, Deepa Madam what are you day dreaming about ? “

Deepa came back to reality. It was Arvind, her boss.

“Errrrr…nothing. What happened?”

“Today you have missed seeing Emails! I need last quarter’s sales figures ASAP. See, anyone can be wrong. “

“Then you could have sent me a WA message na ! “Deepa shot back.

“What! Heights ! Anyway do not forget  fix a meeting with Revathy next week.”Arvind threw his hands  in air and returned to his cabin.

Deepa rolled her eyes and went back to her laptop.

The new joinees suppressed their laughter as Deepa gave them a stern look.
