Luiz brought the food to the room along with Jane.
"Thank you Jane, you can leave now.", he said.
He sat beside me and started tearing the omelet into various pieces.
What? Is he going to feed me?
Then he dug the fork in one of the omelet piece and raised it to my mouth.
"I can eat myself Luiz.", I said.
I felt really weird.
"No problem I shall feed you for a week and in my absence, Jane will do so.", he said.
"No, no this is really too much.", I said.
"Stop irritating and eat Lara.", he said and started feeding me.
I had no other option but to agree with him.
After I had lunch, Luiz brought a box for me.
"Have this.", he said.
"What is it?", I asked him.
"Open and see for yourself.", saying that, he went and picked one of the suits from his wardrobe.
"Are you going out?", I asked him.
"Yeah.", he said and took off the white t-shirt he was wearing.
I was ogling at him like a fool.
He looked at me.
"I shall change in the other room.", he picked the suit and went out.
Thank God!
I opened the box in my hand and found a new mobile.
Beautiful!
It was a black colour mobile with a very beautiful design.
But I don't know how to use a mobile.
Luiz came inside the room. He seemed to be in a hurry.
"Do you like it?", he asked.
"Yeah I do.", I said.
"You should have brought your previous phone along with you after the marriage. Anyways, now that you have a new phone, you can contact me whenever you want.", he said.
I never had my own phone.
"It is a latest model in the market and has got all the new features. Open and check it.", he said with a glimpse of excitement in his eyes.
I don't know what to do with it.
"I... I.... don't... know.", I said.
"It is similar to other smartphones. So just open normally.", he said.
"I don't know to use a smartphone. Not even a basic mobile phone.", I said.
Luiz, who was adjusting his tie in the mirror turned his neck in a split second and his mouth twitched.
"What? You never had a phone for yourself before?", he asked as if he just heard that I never had food in my life before.
"No.", I replied.
"How is that possible?", he shrugged his shoulders.
He looked like a teenage boy having lot of usual doubts at that point of time.
"There are people who exist in the world without using a smartphone.", I said.
"I know that. But... But... Okay whatever, I am already late.", he said.
"Why are you in such a hurry?", I asked.
"From past two to three weeks I didn't give my hundred percent to the company. First Mom's health, visit to Russia, your kidnap and your medical treatment just consumed my time like hell. There are lot of pending projects. I have to complete them.", he said.
I just felt that these events just happened one after the other without any gap.
Phew! This month was so quick.
"See you.", he said.
"Bye.", I said.
It was very boring to do nothing at the home. I didn't know how to kill my time. I was feeling jobless. I cannot even go out.
In the evening, I was on the bed. My legs were unfolded and straight and I had my back rested on the bed rest.
The doorbell rang.
I wonder who it is?
After few minutes, Portia entered the room.
"Hey I am sorry to hear what happened.", she said.
"It's okay. I am fine now.", I said smiling.
Behind her, I saw Alex.
No...
"I was worried about you Lara.", he said.
"Hmmm.", I said and faked a smile.
"So, what's up?", Portia pulled the chair of the study table and sat next to the bed facing me.
I was about to fold my legs and sit straight, when she said, "Don't bother. Be comfortable."
I let my legs stay unfolded.
Surprisingly, Alex sat at the end of one of my leg.
He was facing Portia's back.
He held one of my leg and placed it on his thigh.
What nonsense?
I quickly removed my leg and kept it back on the bed. I never wanted a scene in front of Portia.
"I asked you what's up.", Portia said.
"Ohh sorry! Ummm nothing much. Feeling very bored.", I said.
"Don't worry we are here. You will not be bored.", she said.
Rest of the evening was passed by Portia's jokes. I never failed to observe that Alex was staring at me continuously. It was really awkward.
"I insist you to have dinner with me Portia.", I said.
"I have a dinner with my client tonight. I can't skip it.", she said.
"Please. Please manage."
"Let me make a call.", she told and went to make a call outside the room.
"Are you avoiding me?", he asked.
"No.", I said curtly.
He moved closer to me and sat where Luiz sat during lunch time.
He continued to look at me for some time and then placed one of his hand on my face.
"What are you doing?", I asked him and tried to remove his hand with my hand.
"Don't move Lara. I won't eat you up.", he said.
"Please.....", I said.
"No I cannot, not now.", he said.
"Please Alex...", I begged him.
"How can I...?"
I felt someone's presence at the door.
It was Luiz.
He was just staring at us without any expression.
Alex quickly moved his hands away from my face and went out. Luiz walked towards me.
"How are you feeling now?", he asked.
"I am feeling better.", I said.
"Dinner will get ready soon. We all shall have the dinner in this room as you are here.', he said.
"Okay."
Won't he ask me anything?
We all had dinner together. Luckily, Alex didn't stare at me this time.
Luiz sometimes used to look at me and back at Alex but I never minded.
The only person talking was Portia.
Hey my High Fliers!!
I personally hate ALEX! :p
