Mahesh walked towards the prospective tenants. Zain asked him about the discussion he had with Tai. He simply avoided question by turning attention to showing them the house. Zain didn't try to divulge more on it. "The flat is in first floor. Tai, can you give me the keys so I can show them the place?", Mahesh said excitedly.
Tai was suspicious about Mahesh fixing deal secretly with them. She didn't want him to make promises that she never knew. "I .. I will show the place.", she said grabbing the key from the side table next to the sofa. He didn't expect that. He thought she wouldn't climb the stairs to just to show the place. Anyway, he didn't argue. He didn't want to ruin anything.
Everyone followed Tai towards the flat. They climbed the stairs in same speed as Tai. She found it painful to climb them due to Osteoarthritis. But she didn't want Mahesh to do something that she didn't approve of. She had to be mindful. She climbed slowly while others complained in their mind about her pace.
She reached the flat with great difficulty. She thanked Lord and her husband for buying the flat next to the stairs. She would have died if it was few meters far from the stairs like her flat. The flat was built in similar layout like her own flat. There were old furnitures that she had used many years back. The sofa had few holes on the seat but she had neatly covered it with bed sheet. The cupboards were empty and clean. She had the maid dust this place once a week.
Jasmine seemed content looking at the place. She checked every area carefully. She hated the flats Mahesh had shown them. None of them were as clean as this one. It wasn't spacious. But it was enough for her. The house was clean and only that mattered. There was king size cot with bed and single cupboard in the house. There was a small balcony that was exact opposite to the entrance of the bedroom. There was a tiny dressing table with standard size mirror. The curtains were blue and walls were freshly painted cream colour. This was most spacious room of the house. She had decided this was going to be her room.
The other bedroom was quite small . It had just one cot and a study table. The bedroom was meant to be for kids and guests who came for short visit or for night. There was small window which gave proper ventilation to the room. The kitchen was tiniest. The fridge covered maximum size. There was standard rack for plates and other small utensils found in every Indian houses. There was a tiny sink at the corner of the kitchen. The bathroom was medium sized with enough space for person to take bath in shower or bucket and western size commode. The house was perfect for any average Indian family. Jasmine looked satisfied and sent her approval to Zain through her eyes. Zain smiled as he only wanted her to be happy. He decided to speak to the agent and make no hurry. But he was only doubtful whether Usha Tai would agree to renting them the flat. He was suspicious about their discussions when she got to know they were Muslims. But there was one more shocking fact about them that may lead to her refusing them.
