The ides of July was drawing near. Taehyung and I have been in relationship for more than one year. We were waiting eagerly to celebrate our first dating anniversary this coming Saturday.
We mostly stay together during the weekends in my rented flat. As the weekend was coming, he was excited to organize that day extravagantly. Every evening hence, after coming from office, he texted me about his plans and celebration ideas.
“Hey! Should we go to Truffles at morning or at evening? Hey! Do you want your room to be decorated with candles or bulbs?”. Such were topics of his questionnaire.
I was happy to see him agitation and became more excited to celebrate our one year journey.
I heard people often saying Thanks God it’s Friday but God had scripted a different story for me on that weekend.
My lead called me and said, “jungkook, I want you to come tomorrow for the SIT deployment on demo application sharp before 10am!”
I was shattered to hear that and immediately I asked him without giving my specific purpose,” Sir, whether is it possible to get switched on Sunday or not?”
“no! I want you to be here tomorrow”, was his reply roaring on me.
With disappointment within me I returned to my desk, starred at my screen thinking what should I reply to taehyung and how should I frame the matter to him.
Sooner, at noon I called him and said,”Hey! We got a problem here. It seems that I need to come to office tomorrow. There is something we need to re-plan for our celebration!”
There was a sense of soft cries on the other side of phone. With silent tone and without holding the call long he replied,” We can still manage to celebrate at the evening.”
With rays of sun glittering my tiled bedroom, finally our anniversary day had come, and we both were very excited about celebrating this evening. We have been planning for this from the past week. I got ready and reached office early noting that I need to leave office by 3:30pm. But things didn't go right way as I thought. There were hardly any other members from deployment team. The entire integration started after the lunch hours.
Things were going so slow as if nothing matters to all, but I was restless and can't even concentrate to my coding. I was worrying about what if I can't even reach for post-evening celebration that we had planned at Truffles. I remembered few cases where I could not make up the plans and then I had to bear with few issues in our relationship. I just prayed that this should not repeat again.
Soon I received her message, “Don’t forget to take the bus by 4:45pm. Also buy chicken and curd from Royal Value Mart.”
But in no time, the clock flashed away and I was still pending with my work. The clock struck at 6 and I was more upset than angry on anyone. I knew how things work on offices.
I waited for my lead's instruction whether to leave office or not. I tried to speak out my reason that I should be leaving office by now but I couldn't. Being an introvert, I decided not to ask for early leaving from office. Meanwhile he continued to call me telling that whether I am out of office by now or not. Each time I replied that I will be out within half hour.
Things were not lined well for me that evening for I needed to stay another two hours fixing some issues. Within this two hours neither he nor I called or texted. Even if he would have called me I had no answers for that. I just considered myself to be unlucky. I felt embarrassed and sorry for myself. I never expected that this beautiful day was going to have such a bad end...
