Jasmine thought he was joking initially. But his expressions proved it to be something else. "Are you serious?", she asked. "Hmm.. I..Did you hear everything?", he stammered. Everything was going smoothly. She was smiling and now he regretted bringing the topic of Tai. Anyway he had to inform her. He knew he had to face her wrath some day.
There was silence for some time. No one spoke. Jasmine was disturbed. She was tired of series of miseries taking places one after another. "I am sorry.", he said softly as he put his hand on her shoulder. She nudged his hand off from her shoulder. She stomped towards her room and closed it. She didn't come out. He knocked the door several times. There was no answer. He sat down next to her room and slept there.The couple spent their first night without food.
Morning arrived. He got up as soon as door opened. She was surprised to see him next to her door. "What are you doing here?", she asked. He rubbed his eyes. He had stiff neck. He was still sleepy. He yawned as he spoke,"I slept here the whole night, waiting for you to have dinner with me." She felt bad and hugged him. "You didn't have dinner for me. I am sorry. But I won't forgive you for what happened yesterday," He smiled and said,"Why? What did I do now? "
She released herself from the embrace and said,"Come on ! You know what you did! I told you many times to be careful around her." He laughed as he spoke, "I was careful. It's not my mistake if she got to know. You might have been careless." Jasmine was taken aback by his statement. She glared at him with anger. She walked out of the house before banging the door loudly. Zain followed her immediately. As she climbed down the stairs, he tried to calm her down. She ignored him.
Tai opened the door coincidentally when Jasmine reached down. "What happened", she asked. Jasmine and Zain stopped to greet her. "Why do you constantly fight with your brother? You are taking your brother for granted." , she said. This triggered more anger in the young girl. Jasmine barged outside. "These youngsters are always hot blooded nowadays. You can't have proper conversation.", Tai taunted. Zain ignored her comments and followed Jasmine.
"Wait ! I need to speak to you.", he called her out. She didn't pay any heed to his calls. She got into an auto and headed towards work. He tried calling her on her phone. She didn't pick up. She put her phone on silent. He didn't stop calling. He called her when he was getting ready for work. He called her when he was at work. He also called her on her friend's phone. But she didn't respond. He was angry. He didn't understand why he was getting punished for something he had not done.
