As I unlock my apartment door, my phone rings. Nani.
"Maya beta," Nani's soothing voice comes.

"Naniii, how are you? "

"I'm going crazy, this kids are too much. "

I laugh, Nani is little dramatic." God Nani, I miss you and I missed home"

"Then come home when you are free, we miss our doll too" She says. "How is Rohit beta? His dadi informed us. "

"He's fine now. Don't worry."

"And you beta. How do you feel? "

"I'm okay my sweet Nani." I told her. We talked for some minutes.

"Mohit will be in Mumbai in by end of this week. Try to come home beta. We miss you"

"I'll try Nani. Bye take care."

I end the call and went inside bathroom. I took shower and changed into pajama. I walk back to the bed and sit down on the edge, trying to collect myself. I think about what happened today. Thank god Rohit is fine now. What if something happen to him. That thought scares me.

And then there is Jhanish. I find him everywhere I go. He's a really peculiar guy, all the mysterious looks he give me.
Casual touches that I pretend doesn't affect me, but I secretly enjoy. The excitement that overwhelms me every time he is around. It’s making me insane. I don’t want to feel those things for someone who’s basically stranger. Besides his name and grumpy personality I don't know anything about him.

Everything happening in my life with creepy gifts, chasing goons, my own personal problems. The last thing I want is to fall in love with stranger. But I can't help the way I feel. I already fell for him.
This realization is overwhelming. I couldn't stop my cheezy smile.

Yawning, I turned off lights and close my eyes. I've just dozed off when my phone vibarates. Without looking at caller ID I picked up.
"Hello"

"Maya" A voice comes from other side and I sat up straight.

"Jhanish? " I glance at clock. 11.50 PM.
"What happened? Is everything okay?"

"Relax and breath. Everything is fine"

"Then why did you call at this time. I don't mind though."

"Are you free tomorrow? " He ask.

"Huhh? "

"Tomorrow. Are you free? "
