Touchy Gesture (A short story)

Suyog was a senior person a little over 40 years working in a Multi national company. He started respecting a hard working junior executive Sunita who was about 35 years. One of Suyog's gestures to appreciate Sunita's good work ended up annoying  Sunita. Suyog felt terribly guilty for an act which was actually very pure and nice. He felt the only was to ask for forgiveness was to touch Sunita's feet but never got any such opportunity. Suyog was deputed to a foreign office, where he shifted with his family. After few months of joining the foreign office he received news that Sunita was coming the same place for a week. Suyog sent information to Sunita that he would come to pick her up at the airport. Suyog picked Sunita from the airport and brought her to the hotel. Carried all her luggage to her room. Once inside the hotel room Suyog closed the door behind him Sunita wondered and felt scared. Suyog bent forward and touched Sunita's feet and said "Please forgive me atleast now", throughly embarressing and surprising Sunita.
