'Look who's partying here today' a voice came from behind as Suru was passing the balloons.
Two ladies approached her one was tall wearing an off-shoulder jumpsuit with short black hairs in a bob.
and other was a little shorter, she was wearing a pencil skirt and tunic top with her long brown hairs hanging freely on her shoulders.
'How did weepy Suru... Becomes the dancing bear today?' the tall one asked as they both laugh standing in front of her
Both the girl looked at each other and laughed again 'What did Abhishek promise you this time?' the taller one asked
'A kiss?'
'A hug?'
'Or... Just holding hands would have been enough for you' the tall one said while holding Suru's hands and making a pitiful humorous face mocking her
Both the girls Laughed while mocking her just then a girl walked up to them wearing a pencil black skirt and a blue scarf. She came close to them with a smile
'and the anonymous valentine card you sent him...' the newly joined girl said
'... everyone really liked in the office' she said with a smug face to make her more embarrassed
All three of them laughed making fun of her which made Suru feeling miserable
Suru was feeling humiliated and without thinking just she ran out from the party leaving the girls behind her laughing
She was still dressd up as the bear as she ran through the alley towards the lift. The party venue was some floor above the library in the same building.
After entering the lift she took out the bear mask and removed her glasses to wipe her tears
Tears keep falling from her eyes, her nose reddened as she remembers her valentine's card
Sitting on the bench in a park she wrote a poem for him and signed it anonymously. She remembers hugging the card tightly to her chest with a smile.
But now that smile was turning into tears. She was embarrassed to think that they know that card was from her means even he knows it.
'Afterall it was not that hard to guess the sender' she mocked herself
Just then the lift stops on a floor. She hurriedly put on her mask again to prevent people from seeing her crying face
The lift's door open and...
There was a man outside holding a paper in his right hand he was wearing a blue shirt. The buttons on top of his shirt were open from which one can see the tattoo of an eagle.
As the door open he gave a look to the mascot person inside and enters the lift
Suru was not looking towards the person who just enters she was holding her glasses which she had removed earlier
after entering he pressed the button to his floor
Suru looked at the man on her right who just entered. The man also glance towards her.
He nodded at the person wearing the costume as to greet the person.
Suru looked away hurriedly. He also started looking at the paper in his hand ...it read

Suddenly as the lift was moving down the light inside the lift went out and lift stopped
