The Tenants From Flat No #2 - Part 32

The auto rickshaw driver stopped near the location his client had asked him to drop them. Zain looked out. There was no restaurant. He panicked. He said,"Bhaiya, I don't think this is location I asked you to drop us.". The driver was irritated. "Sir, This is the location you asked for. I dropped you at the right location.", he said.

Jasmine watched the argument with slight annoyance. She had great expectation with this date. Everything was turning into a mess. She quickly opened the google map app on her phone and checked the location. The location was right but there was no sign of the restaurant.She checked again and this time she saw the closed keyword below the name of restaurant. Her face turned red.

She caught hold of Zain's arm in anger and showed her phone to him. Zain was shocked. He hadn't checked the restaurant before planning the date. This mistake costed him badly. He smiled weakly at her. She got down quickly while heading straight , not knowing where to go. He said sorry to the driver before following her.

Usha Tai watched the commotion from the far. She had asked the auto driver to stop little far. She didn't know what was going on inside the auto and why they had stopped at place where there were no people around. The driver was asking her repeatedly whether she would get down at this place. She was getting annoyed by his repeated intervention. Finally she got down when she saw her tenants getting down.

She followed them sneakingly. She didn't want them to know that she was following him. Zain got hold of Jasmine's hand and stopped her. She was miffed and turned her face away from Zain. "I am sorry. I should have checked the place. You can punish me however you want. But don't walk away like this.", he begged with folded hands. Her heart melted though she was still angry with him.

Tai hadn't seen small pothole on the road. She was engrossed in watching her tenants. She slipped her leg and fell on her head. She screamed in pain. Fortunately, nothing bad happened. She got small cut but her fall alerted them. They quickly turned back to see Tai on the ground. Zain rushed towards her and quickly helped Tai to stand on her feet. He asked her whether she was fine. Jasmine watched them with dismay. She wasn't happy with how the things turned out. It was supposed to be sweet romantic date to bring two lovers together but ended up like always causing more distance between them.
