The Tenants from Flat no #2 - Part 14

Jasmine woke up to sunny morning. She stretched lazily.  She scanned around. She was in her room on her bed. She smiled at the realization. She knew how he had carried her towards her room. What amazed her was that he didn't take undue advantage of the situation. This made her fall head over heels for him.

Later she checked her phone. There was still time. She didn't want to go to work. Even one day off costed her too much. She got up sulkingly. She lazily headed towards the bathroom. She freshened up after few minutes of sleep. She sluggishly took bath and got ready for work. She checked her phone one last time before heading to Zain's room. There was still more time for the terror to arrive.

Before she could open the door, the door opened. She almost fell in his arms. She blushed. Her cheeks turned pink. Her gaze was downward on the floors. He didn't shy while holding her hand and dragging her close to him. She didn't resist. She wanted to stay in his embrace for infinity. "I wish you had no work today. Do you really have to go?", he said huskily.

Her heart raced faster. But before she could say something, the door opened suddenly. They froze at sight of stranger staring at them suspiciously. They broke out from their embrace. "Oh.. Hmm.. I am sorry. The door was open. I came in.", the stranger said. He was short built and was wheatish complexion. He wore orange t shirt that had logo of company he worked. 

Jasmine stared angrily at Zain when he looked at her with guilt. "How can someone be so irresponsible?", she thought. Zain automatically realized what she said.  He smiled at her weakly. "I am Ravi. The gas agency guy. I got you the cylinder.", the stranger said. The couple suddenly remembered about Usha Tai's conversation yesterday. They gestured him to come in. Jasmine hurriedly went out while Zain showed Ravi the kitchen.


As Ravi fixed the cylinder, he glanced at Zain momentarily. "Usha Kaki(Aunt) told me that she had rented the flat to brother-sister duo. Who is this girl then? Where is his sister?", he wondered. While checking on Ravi, Zain received a message from Jasmine. It read," How can you keep the door open?I am not going to forgive you for this." Thinking of tonight's ordeal he was going to receive from his girlfriend terrified him. He wondered how he was going to cool her down.
