Private Number Calling - Part 2

Hey all,

So where were we?

.......... I got to my workplace an hour late that morning. But after the day I had been having, there was too much on my mind to worry about work. The rest of the day went by, with me being absent minded, barely doing anything productive. I was so flabbergasted by my stroke of good luck that morning, all of a sudden I was 5, 00,000 rupees richer and I have no clue what to do with it.

At lunch I got another call in the mystery mobile phone, “Private Number Calling” it read on the phone for the second time that day. I picked it up almost eagerly hoping to find some answers but this time it’s a girl at the other end.

          She said with her sweet gentle voice, “Hi. You may not know me but a friend of mine has told a lot about you and she thinks we would really hit it off. This might seem crazy but we have never met and I haven’t even seen you. So it took me a lot of guts to pick up the phone and call you, so don’t say no, can we meet for a cup of coffee? “

            I was almost delighted that something good is happening to my life. New money, New Girl, New Life. I responded with a simple answer rather short for the long request. “Yes, Where? “

          She replied almost immediately “At the coffee place near Cupid's Corner, wear red so that I can recognize you”

            “Alright, see you there” I responded, “can’t wait” said the sweet voice on the other end.

I was already wearing a red shirt to work that day, it was like she read my mind. So I took the rest of the day off from work to go and meet this new development in my life.

I had a great time with this girl, she was beautiful, she thought exactly like me, she likes the same things as me and for a while I thought some sacred force conspired behind my back so that I could meet her that day. It was just perfect.

I returned from the date a happy man. I couldn't believe my luck, it was like all my wishes were starting to come true. But like the old saying goes “be careful what you wish for”, my story was only getting started. The sight I saw when I reached home was straight from a thriller movie. My house was completely tossed, furniture knocked down, as if somebody was searching for something, The Phone? The money?  I had many unanswered puzzles prancing around on my mind, but one question dominated my thoughts

What have I gotten myself into?? ? ............

TO BE CONTINUED......

Bye,

With Love, Chikku
