Jasmine waited impatiently for him to reply. She sensed there was something he was hiding. Thinking about what he was hiding made her more angry. "Come on, say something.", she said impatiently. Zain shivered. He wasn't scared of her anger. He was scared of disappointing her. He looked at her. Her eyes gleamed in fury. He regretted appreciating Tai's sweet dish. He should have kept quiet and agreed with Jasmine. Now it was too late.
"Nothing.. strange happened when you left. The delivery guy fixed the cylinder and went. He thought you were my girlfriend and I told him you were my sister when he said he won't tell anyone that I was with my girlfriend.", he blurted out everything that happened in morning. She slapped her head out of anger. "You messed it up. First you forget to lock the door and instead of handling that guy, you messed it more. Who asked you to tell I am your sister? Who asked you to open your mouth? You should have stayed quiet." , she spilled out her anger on him.
He held her tight to calm her down. She was fighting his grip on her. "Calm down ! If you scream like that everyone will get to know.", he said calmly. She understood the situation and calmed down instantly. "I am sorry I shouldn't have opened my mouth. In that situation I didn't know what to do.", he said softly. She glared at him in anger. "What do you mean you didn't know what to do?", she asked angrily.
"Calm down! I did what I could. But.. look at brighter picture. Tai doesn't know about us. If she knew, wouldn't she throw us out of the house. Why would she act sweet?", he said. "You do make sense. But why would she act sweet all of sudden? There is something odd in her behaviour. She hates us. Why bother to act sweet?" , she said. He hugged her tight. "Why do you worry so much? Nothing will happen." , he consoled her.
"But we have to be careful. We cannot let our silly mistakes to get us in trouble. She is very smart. We need to make sure she doesn't catch our lie.", she said. Zain agreed , thanking Lord that everything was sorted. He was relieved that she had read his mind. He wanted her support now to make things look fine.
It was midnight. But Tai didn't get sleep. She was thinking of evening at her tenants. She regretted being too sweet. She felt she was opening herself too much. They had suspected her actions. She had to be careful now. She couldn't take any chances.
