Just me and my two flatmates, day in, day out.As flatmates go, they weren't so bad, I guess. Mark was a graphicdesigner for a serious magazine that I'... never read -quiet and a bitintense, he worked from home even before the pandemic, usually dressed ina faded t-shirt and baggy jeans. But at least he kept in pretty goodshape, and never complained about my monthly houseparties, so he wasn't atotal loss. We'd got stoned together a few times in the early days, andhe genuinely seemed interested in. He even offered her a better job than she had before.Jeb was under pressure from the south eastern division office in Atlanta to employ more staff.Their sales volume had increased enormously since Jed had become manager.He was having a hard time getting any qualified help.He offered Brenda a position as head of the billing department. Her salary would be double what she had made before.Brenda asked for our input and we all advised her to take the job.She did.She loved it !Lee and all of us had. Few days past, she and the kids went to many of their relatives’ places and finished with many shopping and the date was closing in when they were supposed to leave back after the few weeks of stay in Cochin. My aunt had some offerings for the kids to be done in Guruvayoor temple before they went back. Again, my parents backed out because they had taken few leaves in between and could not get more leaves from work.So again, it was me who had to accompany them to Guruvayoor. Guruvaryoor is. Moments later she placed her head on my shoulders. Taking advantage, I kissed her on her lips. She stood up and went back home. I called her million times to say sorry but she didn’t pick my calls. She was not even willing to reply my text message. I was shattered. Five days of no meeting, no calls, and no message made me more and more tensed. On the fifth day, she messaged me that “Meet me at the coffee shop at 5”. To which I replied ok.During the meeting her face was fully dipped in anger..
