My name is Shantan. I work in a nationalized bank in Hyderabad. I got posted as PO a couple of years before the pandemic. I have good staff and co-wor...ers, and everything is going normal.During my initial days, all of our staff hung out during lunch breaks and after office hours. There is a girl named Sarvada with whom I used to have a crush. She also used to hang out with us and be close to me in person.Occasionally, she sat next to me whenever we had lunch or sat on the back of my bike when. I go and sit on my bed and sniff the t-shirt, the smell of cologne and a little sweat instantly hits my nose, I feel tears rolling down my cheeks. Not because I was sad… I was angry at myself for being so stupid. I heard Tom’s door open and shut and I prepared for him to walk in demanding an explanation but he didn’t… instead I heard him walking down the stairs and what I thought was the back garden. I sat on the bed a little while longer then decided to get dressed. I put on my underwear,. “Rather, we are hoping to increase its scope and the scope of our friendship. As I mentioned, your kingdom lies far from our land, but we’ve begun normalizing relations with all of our trade partners down through this region. We’re hoping we might establish an embassy here, as we have done with other lands, to provide us a permanent place we can use as a hub in your kingdom. From this hub, we hope we can receive and house our trade delegations – and send them on to even further destinations.”. “Driving now, huh?” I stated.“Yeah, got the card like six months ago. Nearly failed the test, but at least I got it.”“Abusing the hell outta it?”“You betcha. Such a bad kid.”“I imagine. I’m gonna pass out, seriously. Wake me up in like an hour, will ya?”“Sure.”I tiredly walked down the stairs, and fell onto the couch. I pulled on my sweatshirt before I put my head down, and when I did, pulled the hood over my eyes. I faded quick.“Seannnn. Sean.” Stacy whispered, shaking my arm. I felt so damn.
