"Oh God, I better stop watching those soap operas." She chugged it away mentally.

Ignoring the gaze she had on her, she started sipping on her chilled Coke.

Lasya loves coke and Pepsi. They keep her cool. But she doesn't drink it often; Once in a fortnight, that's it. She knows the flavored drinks are not good for the health. 

"Who was that?" Lasya asks as soon as Tina hung up the call.

She sighs. "It's my mom in law and she has some demands regarding the wedding so yeah, I need to go and visit her in the afternoon."

Lasya knows her mom in law as a very sweet person and she has many dreams on her son's wedding. Tina's boyfriend is very rich and runs a hotel business around the country. They have many hotels, resorts, and spas in and around the country. She again snaps her out of the thoughts.

"Okay, anyway I am happy for you. Don't remember what I have said. Don't forget me. I swear okay. It's already one o clock. I think we need to catch some other time." Lasya said and hugs her sideways. 

"I will invite you personally to your place with my wedding card and I don't need any excuses for not attending my wedding. You should come a day before and help me in dressing up. Is that clear?" Tina warned her narrowing her eyes. 
Lasya smiled at her and give her a thumbs up.

She also pulled her cheeks lovingly and replied." Sure thing my dear. I am not going to miss the chance of getting to eat all kinds of food around the world on your wedding. So yeah, I am up." Tina hits her shoulders.

"oh wow... great... So you are not coming to see me but to eat the stupid food. Hey, that's not fair enough." Tina whined.

Lasya let out her funny giggles seeing her childish complaint. "Gosh dear, I was just kidding. I am coming to see you only and food is just a side case"

Later they hugged each other and Lasya gave her a forehead kiss. Tina bid bye to her and she left her.

Lasya went to counter again to get one more coke. She collected it and started walking towards her apartment.

It's just a few meters away from the cafe shop and more than that it is on the ground floor. So she doesn't have to spend time wasting by entering into an elevator.

But Lasya didn't know why she felt someone's presence behind her. She stopped by midway and turned back to look around to see if someone was actually there or not. But to her dismay, there was nobody. She sighed and continued her walking sipping her coke.

She checked her phone and put it back on her pants pocket. After 10 minutes or so, she reaches her apartment and unlocked the door.

Before closing the door she once again checked the surroundings, she shook her head not able to understand the weird feeling she got today and locked the door from inside.

As soon as she turned, Ritchie came running and started to jump and lick her face.

"Oh Gosh, I can't feel happy seeing him like this." She thought mentally.

Everyone will be extremely happy to see their parents waiting when they come back from somewhere, but for her, it's only to be her Ritchie that too sometimes when she asks him to stay back. Or else the empty apartment welcomes her.
