Chapter-4
Next Morning, Rumi meets Alex outside hospital and he says fine Miss Johnson I will send you the details and the address where you need to come and If you want to ask for anything else give me a call. Sir, Rumi interrupts Alex and says that she needs his help because her mother is in hospital and seriously ill. She doesn’t have enough money to pay the bills. Listening to this Alex asks her to send the bills and leave the matter to him. Within ten minutes hospital bills were payed and treatment of her mother started. Doctor told Rumi that she can take her mother home after one week.
The day comes when Rumi has to go to Alex’s house. His house was a big mansion with beautiful garden and swimming pool. It strikes 7’o clock in the watch. She tells the guard her name and with Alex permission she was allowed to enter the mansion. The beauty of the house was remarkable. It was decorated with antiques, Italian marble floor symbolic of old culture, paintings of Mona Lisa and other nature’s painting fascinated her. As she enters the hall servant asks her to go to Alex room and she comes back to reality from her fascination and realizes why is she there today. Servant tells her that Alex room is upstairs and he is in bathroom and asks her to wait in his room. His room was quite big and everything was kept in symmetry. While waiting she sends a message to her friend Ryma to look after her mother and her brother as they were alone at home. In case, if there is any problem asks her to text.
After five minutes Alex comes out from bathroom. His hair wet, his muscular body having curves in shape and sexy. Her blue-grey eyes meet Alex’s eyes and she quickly looks away from him. While combing hair he asks her; How is your mother? Is she discharged now? Yes, she is fine and at home Rumi replies. It is good that she is fine now he says. Are you hungry? Let’s eat dinner together as we have a long night she says to Rumi. Listening to this she feels annoyed. He looks at her expressions and asks her to relax and says that it is just a matter of one night.
After few minutes’ servants lay the dinner table. The most delicious and mouth-watering dishes were laid on the table. They both start the dinner. I like the paintings in your house, they are astonishing. Rumi says while eating chicken rolls. Last year, I purchased them at an auction when I travelled abroad. So, you know about paintings, Alex asks. Yes, my father was a painter, he had a painting shop and people used to purchase from him to decorate their house because he had the rarest collection. Rumi says while drinking a glass of water. She added that it hardly matters if a house is small or big, it is happiness that makes a house a home and in fact I feel people with less means would also be able to decorate their houses with paintings if they don’t have to worry about earning bread and butter.
Alex eyes shines while listening to her and Rumi’s face brightens and she smiles. Her smile impressed Alex and he feels that her smile is like a blossoming flower. He looks into Rumi’s eyes that are full of pride. Her hair a mixture of brown and black colour, she wears a fancy shirt with an old-fashioned skirt. A simple girl with no makeup only little lip gloss on her lips. She is beauty. He notices Rumi carefully. Suddenly, the phone rings and he answer the phone. June will reach here any time quickly finish your dinner and come to my room; he asks Rumi. He stands and leaves Rumi on dinner table. Rumi smile fades when she is reminded of her job.
