"Congrats, Cruzal" said Sap patronisingly. Cruzal makes an irritated face. "An Antrikshvasni for a partner," Sap said and leaves saying, "Good luck being her butler".
The news of an Antrikshvasni being hired spread like a wildfire. Cruzal was called in by Ray. "There are rumours flying around about you being kicked out of your apartment" Ray said.
"You've got a keen eye sir, in the mist of an Antrikshvasni being my new partner you found out my little problem" said Cruzal in a bit of cunning way mixed with dismay. Ray laughed it off and told him, "I've found a dwelling for you in the same mist".
"There are quite a lot of mist metaphors here"
Cruzal heard this sound echoing in his ears and tried to stop his laughter but it got expressed on his face as a smile. "Why do you smile, Cruzal?". "Nothing sir, may I ask what did you mean by in the mist?"
"Wow! You're quite formal - May I ask - Keen eye sir - Just as Sap said like a butler"
As Ray pushes sound out of his mouth Cruzal yells, "Shut up and leave!"
"Someone's in a bad mood today, guess I'll have to leave"
Ray controls his agitation and as he politely asks, What?" Ann moves in, "Sorry sir I'm late". "Cruzal, we'll talk about what happened later but first meet Miss. Ann, you're new partner and your landlady".
Cruzal was taken aback. And so did Ann seeing Cruzal was a human.
