I was chatting with one of my colleagues over lunch break. His usual hyperactiveness was overshadowed by apprehension. On inquiring he revealed he has asked his friends for dinner at his place. He added, “Malini will be coming as well.” I didn’t understand what he was implying so asked him to explain elaborately. He then mentioned his introducing Malini to his parents over dinner. “I hope they like her. It’s important for Malini to get along with them as well,” he explained. We had always known there was something going on between them but we always shrugged that off as a fleeting romance. If he was apprehensive about his parents liking her, there is definitely much more to this relationship than the casual enthrallment of office love stories. Asking him to update me on the developments that night, I moved towards my workstation.
