Day passed after a talk with Clara we didn't see or talk with eachother... And house is still in chaos. So I didn't bothered clean and let her things be scattered everywhere. I decided to look for a small apartment near my office.. so it will be more convenient for me and I can take bit more rest. I scheduled an appointment with a broker to look for an apartment and Layla tagged along with me.
We both went to look.. the rent is low and double bedroom with open kitchen and living room . Single bathroom .. pretty good house with all the furnitures. And just 10 minutes walk to the office building.
I felt like I won a lucky draw. Since I don't have any free time I decided to move all my things today itself.
before sighning the agreement Layla stopped me and asked the broker
"" The apartment is good and not so far from the city center , but why is rent is low ? Is there any problem like is it haunted ? ""
""No nothing like that... It's just the owner of the apartment lives in different place and is so rich that he doesn't matter the rent money so he gave it for cheap... And there was couple before you who left last month. Since they are moving to another place.
"Okay I'll sign the agreement and I'll pay the deposite now.. and I'm moving in today itself " I said him in one go. He was nodding his head... And gave the key to me and left. Layla decided to help me since I'm moving today... So I told her to stay here and I'll bring my stuff.
I went to my old house and Clara was sitting in the dining table having her food in the whole mess around her...
I stopped and told her
"I'm moving and I already took my part of deposite from the landlord and I'm moving my things by night today. I haven't paid this month's rent here also the water and electricity bill . ""
She didn't budge and just smirked. I take it as yes then started to pack my things from my room... In 3 hours I finished everything and moving company came to collect the things..
In the new home Layla has already cleaned everything... And I reched there together with moving co.
By 7pm everything was ready and organized properly.. so me And Layla decided to have a party. As housewarming celebration. Just then Mom called me.
I went blank... I didn't told mom what happened between me and Clara..
I received the call and told Layla to enjoy herself till answer the call and went to my bedroom...
"Hey hon... What are you doing ? "" -mom
"Mum... " My voice hitched...
"Dear you haven't called us .. we thought you were busy so didn't bothered you " Dad talked with concerned voice ...
"Mum dad there's something I want to tell ..."
"Yes tell me hon what is it ??" Said mum in concerned and worried voice.
"Today I moved out from that house. Me and Clara had a some.... U know... And I was exhausted.. .. and... Then.. I lashed out... "
My voice was breaking as I was piling up my cry.
"Dear don't worry just tell us what happened ... "" Dad said in worried voice then I told them how the house was mess and how much I was exhausted by all this.
But my parents didn't say anything and told me to calm myself and take a good rest.. and I've done nothing wrong... And told me not to worry about Her frindship with Clara's mom since they have stopped contacting long ago... I sighed and told about Layla and she was waiting for me outside.. they were happy and said they will visit me soon.
I went outside but Layla was getting ready to leave... I felt bad for living her alone so I told her to come again...
Time passed ..... Now everyone in the office treat me like one of them.... I reach home early or on time. And on weekend I'll get a good rest or I go to shopping with Layla. Layla became my bestfriend so I shared all about Clara. She was furious and started to curse at Clara.
Then one evening as usual I was leaving from office I met Clara in the elevator. But I act like I don't know her...
And the whole Elevator ride was awkward. We went outside the office building and a Man was standing near his car wearing a suit I guess he was driver or assistance waiting for his boss. I didn't saw his face but went other side to my house.
I kinda felt like someone was watching my back but I didn't dare to turn around.
I reached home but still the feeling of someone stalking gave me an anxious. I went up to my floor and rushed to open the door and "thump !!" Closed The door with all my strength.... Stood there for 5 minutes then I heard a footsteps.. like 2 people are approaching my house. I stared at a peephole to look ... There were 2 people 1 is Clara and the other one I don't know who ...
Did she stalked me all the way.. should I call police ? What should I do ? ... Then a doorbell rang... I didn't open ..... Then again a doorbell rang .... I decide to eopen and let her not invite inside... And so I does the same....
"Yes ?! " I opened the door and asked
"I wanted to talk with you ... " She said in concerned voice
"What ?! "
"Won't you invite me inside ? "
"Why would I ? I don't want to deal with all the trash you throw later on so here is fine "
She was embarrased to hear when there is another man standing beside him...
Now I saw his face he was handsome .. his attire looks like he was a business man... But I didn't give him a damn ...
"Don't you respect the man beside me atleast ? "
"Why would I ? "
"Don't you know how to greet a guest and serve them ? " The man glared at me... His eyes are sharp and black .
