I joined the office in 2018 and got pregnant in 2019. I and Veer started chatting on FB. First, he messaged me and it was a casual chat like βhi-helloβ and basic details about each other.
Coming to the story, we go back to the year 2020, when life was good, and the world had just been introduced to COVID. It was still all normal, and people were roaming without masks, with no significant restrictions. We both live in Mumbai and work in the same company but in different teams.
My neighbor, Mahesh Dutt, is a 51-year-old retired widower who lives next door. Despite our age difference, we have always had a friendly interaction. However, I couldnβt help but notice that Mahesh had been acting strangely around me lately.
