’ As they drew near the store, she pointed it out to him. ‘I stopped to get the kids a soft drink. The damn thing wouldn’t restart.’ Turning t...e truck into the store’s parking lot, Ethan pulled up beside her car. ‘Give me the key,’ he ordered. Worried and concerned, she asked, ‘What for? I told you it won’t start.’ ‘You’re wasting time with foolish questions. Do you want clean clothes tomorrow? Now give me the key,’ he demanded. Ethan quickly transferred all their belongings to the back of his. I was so close too! Mom! she yelled, her footsteps running up the stairs. Chris and I were fortunate enough to still have most our clothes on, making it much easier to get dressed again. I rushed out into the hallway to meet her, not wanting her to see the two of us in my husbands office. How was school sweetie? I asked. It was okay she answered, trying to peer behind me. Whats up? Cynthias mom is baking cookies tomorrow for a fund-raiser. Shes been bragging all day about it! So annoying! she. “Hello Mike,” she said, as got closer, “I was wondering when I'd bump into you again.” As it was another nice day, I made the suggestion we go to the park again and luckily for me as it turned out, she agreed. We talked as we walked, and she asked what I did in my spare time. I told her I liked fishing, photography, walking and that I had just started writing. “What,” she said, sounding surprised, “you're writing a book?” “No,” I laughed, “stories, I'm writing short stories.” “Oh okay. What. Usne mujhe kaha, “Raj, tum mujhe lene aa sakte ho kya?”Main use lene gaya toh woh boli, “Raj, maine thodi daru pi hai. Tu mom ko mat batana.” Maine use smile diya aur kaha theek hai. Shilpa khush ho gayi aur boli, “Tu kitna achha hai, Raj. Teri gf toh h hai.” Maine usse kaha ki meri koi gf nahi hai. Woh boli, “Koi nahi, main bana dungi.”Fir hum ghar pahuch gaye. Ghar pahuchne ke baad main upar aa gaya. Parthodi der baad aunty aur Shilpa ke ladne ki awaaz aane lagi. Main neeche gaya toh dekha.
