BROKEN BIRTHDAY AND THE BOY : PART 5
It was 6:00 AM. In the morning, alarm rang. Mrs. Parul slide her finger to switch off the alarm in her phone. She was awake, but lying. She was again thinking about her life, where it was tending to! She again had to prepare breakfast, clean the house and wash the clothes. She did not have anything new to do except house chores.
She came out of the bedroom and started brooming the house. She opened the main door of her house. She broomed outside of the house. She saw that the main door of flat number two was open. It was all the time closed before. She also saw that a boy was watching her. She suspected, it was the same boy who met her in lift. The boy was staring at her. Mrs. Parul without any delay, came inside her flat and closed the door. Mr. Subramanian was awake. Mrs. Parul was thinking about the boy and cleaning the house inside. Like everyday, she cleaned the house, prepared breakfast and bade adieu to Mr. Subramanian. While closing the main door, she again looked towards flat number two and the boy.
She was cooking food in afternoon. And one of her mind was wondering whether the boy would be sitting still and looking at her flat! But she thought to look at flat number two and for the boy after preparing lunch.
Suddenly, bell rang. She thought, who could it be? She slowed down flame of gas stove. She first slightly opened the door. She was shocked to see the boy. The boy was standing outside said, "Can you give me some sugar? I was just making tea and found no sugar." She asked. "Who are you? Where you live?" The boy said, "I am Nitish. I live in flat number two. I am your neighborhood. I also met you in lift yesterday."
She said, "Ohh, you are the guy. Why are you staring at me?" The boy said, "When I saw you first time inside lift, I found you very sad, so I just want to talk to you and know the reason of your sadness?"
She found the reason to a genuine one and impressed with the boy. She said, " Come inside. Have seat. Would you mind if I make tea for you?" The boy said, "Not at all, but I love to take a tea which will bring a taste of home."
The boy was sitting on sofa and Mrs. Parul moved to kitchen. She made tea and come out with a plate. In this plate, she put two cups of tea and some cookies. The boys said, "What was the need to do all this, I just want to drink tea?"
She was very happy to serve him. The boy asked, "Did you decorate your home? It is so beautiful, walls had perfect pics, chime bells is at proper place. It seems that someone had decorated it with so much time and effort."
She said, "I am an engineering graduate housewife. But my husband do not allow me to job. So, I in the house either watch web series or decorate my house. Anyway you may feel bore, if I talk all about myself. So tell me about yourself. The boy said, "I am a student preparing for government jobs. I think I should leave now."
She said, "You can ask me anything required. I also lived outside of my house during my engineering college. I understand the struggle and pain of a student, desire for money and good quality food."
The boy said, "Yes, sure. Thanks for tea and cookies." Nitish left her house. She closed the main door.
Nitish went to his flat and started studying. Mrs. Parul put the plate from table to kitchen. She felt extremely happy. She felt like she found someone very close to her. She wanted to talk a lot. She wanted to take lunch with him but she did not want to insist him so early.
