Secrecy of Regrets

13 Apartment hunting

13 Apartment hunting

I enjoyed the movie no matter its nth time I watched that movie. I drifted in sweet sleep with making plans about my apartment hunting.

My eyes shot opened and as usual it was 3-30 in morning. I just lay on bed as lights in my room are still on. I wondered my abnormal habit didn't change after coming here. And how can it change as its just 3 hours time difference between India and Netherlands.

I started my usual thought process which I know will end up to nowhere but it's just the way how I beat the time until I sleep again. I started wondering on the fact that is it really possible to have good friends – probably on just second day in an unknown city? I must have done something good. Karma does pay and it certainly pays you back, sooner or later. Wow I just phrase out one of many quotes!!

I saw 4-45 on digital clock of my room and slowly drifted to sleep. I woke up with my alarm go off. It was 6-30 am. I shut it off and went to take shower. After all morning rituals, I went down stairs of the hotel to take breakfast from restaurant down stairs. I searched about room available on rent on internet. I listed out some addresses for today to visit.

My phone beeped on message received.

'Good morning Girlfriend!!' – comes from Charlotte. Wow!!

'Good morning to you too Princess' – Cliché I know but believe me, she looks like one. Just perfect.

'Started finding apartment or not?' – She asked.

'Starting from today. In fact just going out after finishing breakfast' – I replied her.

'I don't have important work to do. Can I come with you, please????' – Whether putting more than necessary signs of question mark considered as a humble request?

'Yeah, of course. It'll be easier with you to find different areas.' – I granted her wish. Ha!

'Thank you. Oh my God! I am actually starting to hang out like other normal girls. Thank you so much!' – She is probably jumping up and down on her spot.

'Be ready I m coming to fetch you.' – Received her message before I could reply her with the previous message.

'Okay. Waiting. Bye.' – I replied her.

She didn't reply. I think she is already on her way. Over enthusiastic girl.

I waited in restaurant after finishing with my breakfast. I played with my phone. Suddenly my phone started ringing. It almost fell but I caught it. It's none other than Ms. Charlotte.

"Hel-"

"I am outside your hotel. Come fast" Before I can greet her she ordered me and cut call just like that!

What was that? Secret Service Agent Talk?

I spotted a dark red color car and Charlotte wondering her eyes everywhere but on me. I went in her direction and she looked at me smiling widely.

"Hey! Jiyana. How are you?" She beamed with joy.

"I am fine?" I am feeling nervous because she is more excited than me. Why I am feeling something fishy here?

I shrugged the feeling. We entered the car. She started driving off the car not before I showed her the first address we were supposed to visit.

This is the third and last address for today's mission. To my disappointment the other two apartments were already occupied.

After about 15 minutes ride from previous address we reached to the last address. How will it go?

The house is beautiful, not too large and not too small. Well of plant was covering the upper part of nearly whole front of house. Middle of it was a wooden door. A small way to the door of house was covered with tiny plants on either sides of the way. It's giving a house a artistic mode just like a painting.

I didn't realize I was staring at the house until someone pokes on my shoulder and I turned to look at Charlotte giving me a weird look.

"Do we have a plan to go in or not?" She asked finally.

"Uu-oh. Yeah. Shall we?" I assured her that I m not going to run away.

She nodded and we reached to the door. I rang the bell. And an old woman with scowl on her face opened the door. She looked between me and Charlotte. We both tried to give her a best smile but that doesn't make her expression change.

Charlotte and I exchanged nervous look with each other.

Here is the best start. Good luck with your last hope for today.

Will Jiyana loss the hope at just third house they visited? Charlotte is with Jiyana to help at her best. 

Jiyana is always nervous to start conversation with unknown people and that was not the case with Charlotte of course.

Let's see where this Apartment hunting will lead these girls!
