Late night office, Love and Ghost

Late night office, lots of work pressure, less social life…. I guess this is the story most of MNC now a days. I am also working one of MNC. Someday ago I just come across a very shocking thing. One of my team mate getting mails from ghost. Isn’t shocking..?
I am sharing the same story with you…. Please read..!! As always names are changed…!!

Asmita opened her mail box and saw a new mail from new person.

Hi Asmita,

I see you every night sitting in the office till very late. Don’t you have friends? Don’t you want to hang out ?  Don’t you feel like talking to your room mate? You should not sit very late in the office; this is a genuine advice from me.

Thanks,
Vikas

After reading the mail, Asmita was very angry on the sender. She simply deleted the mail and said to herself  “who is he to give me any advice”. Of course anyone do the same. She again got back to her work.

After that night, every night Vikas would keep sending her mails and Asmita would simply delete them without even reading the content of the mail. But one night the subject line attracted her and she had to open the mail.

The subject line of the mail was “Hi Beautiful”. Everyone like compliments, and Asmita also like this.

Hi Beautiful,

Yes today you are looking very beautiful in this Blue tee.I know you don’t read my mails as you don’t like the advices I give you.

So today I won't give you any advice, I will just say that I am love with you. You know you are very beautiful and if you take care of yourself many men will fall in love with you. Please enjoy your personal life too. Don’t waste so much of your time in office.

I am sure someday you will also fall in love with me. And then we will go out for a date. Oh before I end the mail I must tell you that the best thing about is that smile. Or is it those intense which needs some sleep at the moment. Your smile is one which is the best smile I ever saw.
Take care dear. Love you.
Vikas.

After reading the mail she was shocked. A person she had never met never seen, never spoke to was saying that he was in love with her. She started thinking was this always in his mind. How did he get her
id? Where had he seen her? Many questions like this came in her mind. Finally she thought of giving a warning and replied to his mail.

Hi Vikas,

I don’t want to spoil your career but if you don’t stop sending me mails I will raise an COMPLAINT against you.

Thanks and Regards,
Asmita Arora

After this mail, the mails from Vikas stopped coming in Asmita’s inbox. She thought that finally Vikas has got scared and won't be mailing her again.  After several nights, Asmita was resting on her chair and her eyes closed. When she opened her eyes she saw Vikas’s mail in her mailbox.

Hi Beautiful,

With your closed eyes you were dreaming about me, right? Oh sorry for not sending any mails in the last few days. I was a little busy. I am sure you would have missed me a lot. Don’t you ?
One more thing before I forget I want to say that I am not scared of COMPLAINT. A COMPLAINT can't be a reason to stop loving you.

Love you.
Vikas

Asmita was twisting her hair and putting them behind her ears. At that moment itself another mail came from Vikas,

Hi Beautiful,
Now stop playing with your hair and leave the office, it is very late. Go to home, take rest. You need rest.

Love.
Vikas

Asmita was shocked as to how did this person know what she was doing on her desk. She got up to check whether anyone was there in her floor but could find only empty cubicles. She thought maybe he made a wild guess and decided to leave the office before leaving she saw another mail from Vikas.

Hi Asmita,

Searching for me ? You have started falling in love with me. I know you started…!! I know you will not except this right now, but you will say someday.

Love you.
Vikas

Asmita was shocked and scared to hell. She simply switched off her machine and ran outside the office. In the next few days she would not open any mails sent by Vikas. One night a mail with subject line
“Don’t be scared of me, I will not harm you” came to her mailbox. First she thought to ignore the mail then she thought let's see what has Vikas written this time.

Hi Asmita,

Don’t be scared of me. I can say that you are scared of me because of the way you ran out from the office the last time you read my mail. I know few minutes back you had gone to have coffee with sneha. You like latte, right ?  You are thinking how I know this because I can feel you around me. Only once you also start feeling me you will know that I am near to you. Very near. Just sitting next to you. I will wait for the night when you start having the same feelings for me. Will always love you.

Vikas

Now Asmita started thinking was Vikas really in love with her? What he was saying was it true?

 But how could he know so much about her? How could he say what she was doing and what not? Asmita thought let's give a try and see whether Vikas is always in love with her or not. From that night she also started replying to his mail. She reply some of his mails. She was not sure, weather she should do it or not…!! But she did.

Hi Asmita,

Do you feel bad if I call you beautiful? But what I can do, I can’t stop myself to call to beautiful.

Love you.
Vikas

Asmita’s reply:
ss
Yes Vikas. I don’t like this word. You can address me as Asmita, isn’t it short and simple. And I love my name a lot. And please stop these mails.

Thanks and Regards,

Asmita Arora

Vikas’s reply:

Point noted Asmita. But when I am happy, excited I would call you with some special name at that time.
Tomorrow you have your certification so all the best for that.

Love you.

Vikas

Asmita was again shocked as to how does he know about her certification. She had never told him.

She replied Vikas,  Who is the person who is giving you details about me? I had not told you about my certification how do you know it?

Thanks and regards,

Asmita Arora

Vikas replied back to her

I know it because I am in front of you. Can't you see me? Can't you feel me close to you?
I also know that after 3 days you have your appraisal. Now this you have not told anyone. Just your DM knows about it. Do you think your DM will give me all these details?

Love you.

Vikas

Asmita not sure of the answer. She knew her DM would not have told Vikas all this but how did Vikas know so much about her was a mystery for her. Finally she thought she will talk to her DM, Vineet.

Next day, she went to her DM’s desk.

“Hi Vineet. I wanted to ask you something”.
Vineet:- “Sure Asmita. Are having any issues?”
Asmita:- “No. actually I wanted to know about a person named Vikas, Vikas Jain”
Vineet was shocked on hearing that name.
Vineet:- “How did you come across this name. Has anyone told you about him?”
Asmita:- “No one has said anything to me about him. Few days back he started sending me e-mails. First I ignored but then he would give such details which I did just few minutes back. He even knows my
appraisal date.”
Vineet:- “Are you sure you got mails from Vikas only?”
Asmita:- “Yes very much. But why do you look shocked?”
Vineet:- “Because Vikas died 2 years back. He use to sit at the same place where you are sitting. How can a dead person send mails to you.”
Asmita was shocked. She didn’t know how to react to this.
Vineet:- “If you don’t believe me then you can try finding his name in the telephone directory. Maybe someone told you about him and because of work stress you started imagining that he is sending you mails.”
Asmita:- “I am not imagining anything. He has really send me a mail. I can show you in my mailbox.”
Vineet:- “Okay Asmita I believe you but still I think you should take a break and go home.”

Asmita was still in shock with the news she got from Vineet. She just did a search on telephone directory for a name with Vikas and page returned no records. She again checked the mail id and employee number details. She did a search many times that day by putting various combinations but the search page displayed the same message “No matches found for the given search criteria”. She could not believe that someone could hack the system and send mails to her from an non-existing id. She attached the mails sent by Vikas and sent it to Vineet as a proof that she was not dreaming.

On seeing the attached mails even Vineet was in shock. He came to Asmita’s desk.

Vineet:- “I think by mistake his id has not been deleted and someone who knows about it is playing with it.”
Asmita:- “But I checked the details on telephone directory there are no records available for this id.”
Vineet:- “Talk to the tech management  people and see what they have to say.”

She called up the tech management  people. They took control over her system and looked at the mail sent by Vikas. The mail was sent from the same computer which Asmita was using. The time stamp at which the mails were sent Asmita had logged in. Also there was no evidence that a remote desktop connection was made or mail was sent through web mail. Even the tech management people were clueless as to how a mail has been sent from a non-existing id and from Asmita’s system itself.

There were no viruses  or any other kind of threats on Asmita’s system. Her anti-virus was up to date. The whole day was gone in finding a loophole as to how did Asmita get such a mail in her mailbox. Asmita was tierd from the day’s happening and so she decided to leave early from the office that day.

The next day when Asmita came back, she saw a mail from Vikas. She didn’t know whether she should delete that mail or read that mail. She was scared to open the mail. Somehow she gained some courage and opened the mail. The context of the mail was:-

Hi Asmita,

Good to see that you left the office early tonight. I know Vineet told you about my death. I was also a workaholic like you. I would sit late in the office, even when no one was around me.
I just being at office. I had no friends, no social life. Even on weekends I would use to come to office.

I missed all the fun in my life. Even my death happened at office while I was working. My dead body was found by the house keeping guy and the security guard at the reception. I took a lot of work stress
which my conscious mind could not bear that day. I ignored all the health problems I was having. And finally on that night (20.01.2011, 10:36 PM) all these reasons became responsible for my death.

Now you know why I am not scared of COMPLAINT.

But yes if I was alive then also I won't be scared of COMPLAINT because  have really fallen in love with you but we can't be together until your death.

Now the choice is yours whether you will kill yourself on your own or whether I need to do the honors.

Waiting for your death. Love you always.

Vikas
