The Guy Next Door Is A Freak

3-Fight

"I'm sorry but I think you should leave"

"What!?"

I stare at him completely dumbfounded.

"Yes...I would give back your this month's rent and the deposit money back as well."

"Uncle?? Are you being serious right now? I mean it has been only a few days since I have moved in...What are you even saying?"

"You can stay as long as you don't find another place, it's fine.  But I'm only suggesting this for your own good."

"If you wanted me to move from the beginning, then why the heck did you even show us this room?"

"I'm sorry...It was my mistake. I thought he had left, and wasn't coming back. If I knew he would come back again, I would never show your father this place..."

"Who? Are you are talking about the guy next door?"

"Yeah..." he lowers his head in guilt.

"Look Uncle...I really like this place. I  have never lived in a hostel and I don't think I can manage in there. This place is just perfect, and if you want I'm willing to talk to my parents and pay extra- but please do something about that guy. I don't feel comfortable around him. If he doesn't listen, then can you ask him to move?"

"I can't do that" he shakes his head.

"But why!?"

"Because he owns this building."

"WHAT!?"

My brows reach the roof of my forehead.

"Yes, or more like his Dad owns this building. I am only a caretaker... Didn't Sanjiv tell your dad?"

"No...they had to leave early because of some problems so I guess no..."

"That brat had a fight with his father and has been living over here, since a year, and because of him, its really difficult to get tenants. I have already complained about this to Sir- I mean his father, but it's tricky. Sir wants him to complete his education at least, and that's the reason why he  allows him to stay here, as his college is nearby. Sir feels that he would probably get better if he becomes more studious and goes to college but I don't see that happening. He has been doing this ever since he came here. Some of the tenants have already left and some even filed police complains because of his behavior! So I had to temporarily stop taking tenants. Even now, there are just 4 rooms occupied including yours."

"Ah..."

"He was completely gone for a few months, and of course, that's the only reason- I showed you people this place. Had I known that he would be coming back, I would never! Shrija...you seem to be a good girl, your parents are very good people too, Sanjiv is my long trusted friend, so when he requested me for a room, I agreed. But as you can see that guy is a complete goner, a bastard of a rich family. So I think, it would only be for the best, if you move out. I can help you find a place through my contacts, however, they will be just a little far from here"

I bite my lips and nod.

Move out!? I literally just came here 2 days back!

And I liked this place so much!

What should I do? Should I tell my mom?

But she will ask me to move out as well if I tell her about this guy...

While walking inside the building, I bump into someone.

"Sorry-" I say.

It was an older woman, probably in her 30s.
