Mera ki chain se mera chota altamash bahar nikla hua tha raat ko me muth marne ke baad zip lagana bhul gaya tha. Me jaldi se uth gaya aur chain lagaka... reshma ke piche nikal pada wo sidhe jakar uske room me ghus gayi maine darwaja khat khataya to usne darwaja khola aur pucha kya kaam he mene kaha tum kyun bhag gayi to wo kuch boli nahi bus hasti rahi. Me waha se chala gaya aur naha dhokar mamujan ke kheto me sair karnechala gaya. Reshma bhi 2 ghante baad kheto me tahalaneaa gayi mamujan khet me. If K had a client arriving in Monaco who wanted a new twist to his Monday evening, then K would call a counterpart in the south who would send over the required circus, ringmaster, tightrope and all.

I fell into neither category, strictly, as I neither paid. Concern was on all their faces. My mom looked the most tense and Aunt Harriet was gently massaging my shoulders. Just then the phone rang and all four of us jumped with the sound of the first loud ring. My mom answered it and I could hear her say, "Hh, hi Barbara, no, Rich is a little busy right now, can he call you back tomorrow? We both are busy and we have company. Oh, (chuckle) no, he isn't hurt or anything like that. The nurse that brought him home is Rich's new employer. Yes. He has a job. Is it okay?" It's okay." Oh, you didn't even look. Here, in back. How do I look?"I looked at her in the mirror. I stood behind her and smelled the sweet powder and the hair spray and the lipstick, and she had her hair smoothed back and bowed in back, and her pale white, full skirted dress had no neck and no sleeves and showed just enough bosom, and she looked the way I always wanted my dream lover to look.I said, "You look like Grace Kelly." She's taller than I am, she has a different hair.
