better gulp it !!

This was third time, I was going to yawn. We have again missed the deadline and everyone in the meeting was dead silent. The only person who was speaking was her, the boss.
‘This is not acceptable at all’ she shouted. Where are we going wrong? Estimations? Productivity? Or laziness?’ she stared in my direction while speaking the last word. I was damn sure that she caught me yawning last two times. I was trying hard not to make it third time. Taking long breath, hardening my jaws, stretching my throat, everything possible to stop it, I was doing.
All this was effective, but only for few seconds and at last the next moment of time, my mouth again got opened. Despite of all efforts to stopping it, I was yawning, again. She started walking towards me, and before I can close my gateway, she was just in front of me. I stood up. Pin drop silence in the conference room.
Only thing I can hear was something buzzing in my ears, or may be in my mouth. My eyes went wider thinking of it. What is it? A mosquito? A fly? A bug? That too in my mouth.
‘Do you understand the importance and severity of this meet?’  She grunted on my face, with few tiny drops of saliva on my nose. I just shook my head avoiding my mouth to get open.
‘Do you want me to sing for you so you can sleep?’ she added.
‘No…’ came out of my mouth making a small gap between my lips and next sound which came out of my mouth was ‘hell..’
The poor tiny wet little creepy eight legged four fins single trunk fellow came out of my mouth and flew and sat straight to her nose. Her both the eye lenses took a walk from my mouth to the tip of her nose.
I can never ever forget the sound she made, ‘eeeewwwww…eeeeaaaa…eeewwww…’
Now except me and her all other people present in the room were trying their best to stop laughing.
Better I should have gulped it…I thought!!

Action-Reaction...ooops !!

She was just in front of me, across the road. She is the most beautiful girl I have seen, my friends don’t agree, they say the one who stays in hostel is better, but I don’t think so. It has been more than 2 years; we are just looking at each other, or I can say I am looking at her. “Why need language, if you can talk with your eyes? “I thought. “You don’t even know her name” someone shouted, I don’t know from where. “Go ahead, she is alone, at least say hello” the voice repeated. “Yes, at least I can say hello”, I decided to go ahead,
Action: I was unable to put off my eyes from her. Showing a great determination kept my first step towards her.
Effect: suddenly the earth became smooth, like cream. As if I will fall down. A strange smell filled my senses.
Reaction: “Oh yuck, I hate cows, I will sue people who left their cows on street” I shouted. “Hell, my shoe itself smells like cow dung”
Next few minutes were wasted in cleaning the shoe. I looked up; she was still there thanks to the person, for whom she was waiting. Finally I was ready, started walking,
Action: I looked at her. Hairs floating in air, as if crackles in the sky.
Effect: I was feeling like walking on a beach on new year eve, in fact was able to hear a bang too.
Reaction: some people started running towards a biker, who was sitting on the road, his bike inside one of the shop. Someone shouted “catch that $#@&...” showing finger towards me.
But before anyone can notice me I had crossed the road and just was in front of her. She saw me. I knew she knows me; after all I have spent more than 2 years looking at her. I decided to go ahead,
Action: i gave a smile, she didn’t. I said ‘hi’, she didn’t.
Effect: I felt like she was a bit shy or she is afraid if I will directly propose.
Reaction: she started walking away. I tried to stop her by saying; I just wanted to say ‘hi’.
She stopped; she turned, this time with a bit smile and comfort. I felt happy that she understood my feelings.
Action: I walked towards her and stood just a foot away from her.
Effect: she gave a smile and also a strange hint that I was not able to understand.
Reaction: Something hit me. My left eye send a message to my brain, which got translated into pain. My ears also send a message to brain, which got translated as “stay away from her”.
I was left alone on the street. With my single open eye, I saw her moving away with someone on a bike.
Action: I took out my phone and called a friend, narrated the story and asked to take me home.
Effect: a huge laugh on the other side of the phone.
Reaction: “Didn’t I tell you, she is having a boyfriend? Ooops…”
