"classes, tuitions, supplementaries...My god! what ...the ...heck...created them!So...Stupid!" I cursed aloud as I climbed up the stairs. The sweltering heat was getting on my nerves and I was panting like a bull when I reached the tenth floor, my house. My anger of the lift breaking down had not subsided yet classes, tuitions issues came to irritate me.
I dragged my feet unwillingly towards my doorstep. that's when I saw two strangers...Burly, macho ones outside my neighbour's flat behaving like a mouse stealing cheese. One of them was struggling with the door while the other was blocking my view to see what the world was happening. "Oh great! Lost their keys again!" I could not bother much in this weather and turned left to my house.
I on the air-conditioner and took a cold shower once in the house. "wha..." I was enjoying the coldness of life; water seemed like snow, peltering down my body onto the floor when ... a sudden thought struck me. It was about my neighnour. "what if 'they' were murderers? will my neighbours die? What if..." Thousands of questions seemed to pop up in my head at one time. I ended my activities in the twinkle of an eye, wore my shirt and dashed out of my house without locking the door. By the time I was at my neighbour's step, everything seemed as normal as it could be and I strolled back to my house.
"Fancy scaring myself in broad daylight!bother!" I reproached myself and went to sleep. I was so unaware of my surrounding until..."Knock! Knock, knock, knock!" I jumped up suddenly. WIthout my brain telling me what to do, I went outside and opened the main door....
I stood rooted to the ground with mouth like a goldfish;opened and closed. It... was the two burly men! They stood in front of me, staring. Not long after, they started talking.
"Where's your neighbours? The bigger-built man demanded."I ...don't know." "What... you want?" I quivered. Both of them took out an address which uncannily matched my neighbour's. After that, one man claimed that they were cousins from Malaysia who came and visited my neighbour."As my niece is out, she asked us to look after our grandmother. I finally got some "clearness" of the situation." We were scarec that our grandmother, which is your neighbour might meet with some mishap as there was not a mouse squeaking inside, so we tried to pick the lock." After all that explanation, they asked in scrutenisation; where is your neighbour
Just then, an elderly lady climbed up the stairs... I recognised her at the first sight. I pointed to the feeble lady. The burly men turned their 'watermelon' heads and went up to help her.
Before going into my neighbour's house, they winked at me, probably to say 'thanks'. After the 'show' ended, I went to my 'dream world' again....
