Chapter -4
Nasty Neighbour
Saturday Morning, I woke up around 7o’clock, when I heard some noise coming from outside. I see in camera Mr. Davis and Mrs Marie fighting hard.
You bastard! How dare you scold my newspaper hawker?
Because every time he pokes his nose in my life just because you are defaming my image.
What image? You are killer of your wife.
I will kill you too he says angerly.
Go to hell and she bangs the door.
Oh my gosh! They both can’t stand each other. Today, I have to wash my clothes, clean my place and to start I made a toast and black coffee and feel relax because today is my off. I check my cell phone, only three or four messages are there but no message in my school group. It is weekend, they all will awake late in the morning. I turned on some music and start massaging my body to get rid of tiredness. I remember Byron and I used to massage on weekends, pervert! suddenly that word comes from my mouth. If he wanted to leave me, he would have told me straight. I hate when people abandon or betray me. I go to bathroom to take shower and when I come out, and check my cell phone there were lot of messages that they all are coming to my house for dinner. Today, we are going to enjoy at its best then I remember that have to go to dinner with my boss Ethan and need to tell it to Hannah.
In evening, I dressed and wait for my friends. The doorbell rings they come with a blast. They all jump on my couch and we began to laugh. Today is a special day saying Hannah. You have found someone that’s why you feel special. Aaron pushes pillow over Hannah’s face. Grace and I bring drinks and all sort of eatables which they brought with them. Joey plays guitar and Grace shoots his live video because he plays guitar very well. We all shout and sing together. Just then my doorbell rings and I open the door straight and notice Mrs. Marie standing outside. Nora, you know today that bloody Davis abused my hawker. Mrs. Marie actually my friends are inside. Next time, I will hear your story and interrupt in between. Her face falls down. I close the door.
Who is this, Nora? My fussy neighbour. This lady bothers her so much Grace tells everyone. Is she all alone? I mean she doesn’t have friends? Marlin asks while drinking. She only has one neighbour to fight with that is Mr. Davis. I laugh and we all laugh together and Grace tells the story of Mr. Davis. Wow! this is adventurous we will stay at your place today Nora and to see what happens. Joey and Aaron get excited. Please don’t do anything stupid. He is a prime suspect of his wife murder. Maybe you are next. I smile and they laugh. Don’t worry we will survive; we all have a long life and we remain friends till old age. Yes, we will! Cheers! we all say while holding the glass. Then Hannah shouts it’s Gloria on video call. She soon takes the call.
How are you? Sweety.
I am fine, so you all rock.
Yes! we all shout.
We miss you Gloria, why don’t you come to NY.
Yes, I will, but I have called to give you a great news.
I am expecting and shies.
Oh my gosh! congratulations and celebrations we all shout again.
Okay, you people enjoy! Shane is calling me. She hangs up.
Great finally we have two good news one of Hannah and other of Gloria. Joey says in high tone and a break up to celebrate I add from my side and they all hover me to make me smile. Then suddenly doorbell rings and Grace opens the door she shouts, guys we have a guest. I go and see that Byron standing on my door.
What the hell are you doing here?
I want to talk to you Nora for a second.
I see grace she moves aside; I give a hint and he come inside.
He was not surprise to see my whole group at my place. He says hello to everyone.
What’s the matter Byron? Joey asks
I am come here to tell you that what I did was wrong but I never realise that when I started liking silky. Oh, bitch name is silky. Hannah says in a clipped tone and Byron shouts watch your mouth, Hannah.
So, what will you do?
I haven’t come here to fight.
Byron, please leave. Nothing left between us I say while I see anger in everyone eyes.
I know Nora. I have just come to confess that I didn’t want to breakup like this. I love her and I can’t help it. He explains.
Shut up! and get out. I can handle that you don’t love me anymore and my friends are there for me. My face turns red.
Yes, you are right! you can handle the truth that I don’t love you.
Listening this my blood boils and I really wanted to slap him hard, how shamefully he was telling me that he didn’t love me. At least be sorry.
Get out Byron Hawkins, Joey shouts and gives him a punch on his face.
Byron didn’t expect this but he immediately punches Joey back and fight began.
Aaron, Marlin and Joey they all attacked Byron and he tries to defend himself in best possible way. Then I realise that it has gone so far. I pull Joey back but he refuses to listen, Hannah and Grace both enjoy watching.
Girls, if something bad happen, we have put ourselves in mess. I shout and they help me to pull these guys. Finally, we hold Aaron, Joey and Marlin. I see the blue and red marks on Byron face and hands. He shouts furiously you fucking asshole I will kill each of you, you don’t know me well. I have connections and he go outside and hurriedly closes the door.
I bring first aid to clean bruises on their faces. Hannah and Grace also help me.
