In the evening she came to my room. I had given one set of keys of my flat to them. I was in my bed room and was watching a horror movie. She sat down...near me and started watching the movie. One of the scene was real cracker and Kumkum came near me and I found she was shivering. I held her hand and started pressing it and she was comfortable with my actions.
