He kept explaining me about the maths I did wrong all the way. when we reached near the address given by the state agent , I saw a little house with bright green color in it , not very inviting color but let's give it a go. " That color is loud ....like you must have a strong colorful life to ....dare I must say dare to approve that color for a house. " said Kabir sir and I think he is absolutely right about it. He parked his car and together we went near the door which has little curvey flower design in it , the door was meant to make the house look good but the background Color was not doing any justice to it. And the house is looking ridiculous from outside. can't believe my agent suggested me this house to stay in. " The door says the person inside the house wants  to show that she has full knowledge of classic design and all but she doesn't have any. I must say your agent has a good taste about houses. " commented Kabir sir . I told him " with my current budget even this house is fancy thing for me. " I told him. He made a face to my statement and ranged the bell. After sometimes a lady opened the door. she is in her mid fifties I guess , her dressing style is Punjabi and she smiled widely at me...sorry at Kabir sir. As we entered her house the first thing she noticed was Kabir sir, she let us in and showed us sofa to sit. Her figure is fairly well but her makeup is loud like really loud. she sat opposite to Kabir sir , giving all her attention to him....well I think I can understand what she is trying to do. But poor thing she doesn't know exactly what she is messing with. " My name is pummy kaur , nice to meet you. " she said to Kabir sir. " My name is Kabir sharma and she Megha.... we are here cause we came to know that you are renting your house ?  " he asked her. " Yes, I am renting my place. Since my husband is no more in this world and my son is in abroad studying.... I am quite lonely here and that's why I am renting my house. " she said trying to look sad and lonely , wanting someone to comfort her but unfortunately her efforts went in water as Kabir sir didn't gave her much attention. " Anyway why talk about unpleasant even... Would you like to have coffee.... how foolish of me , should I bring some refreshment for you ? " she asked to Kabir sir with flirty voice. How can others think the coldness he wears in his face as something near handsome and not scary. I mean if you suggest me two rooms one with him in it and other with tonnes of ghost than I would rather visit ghosts than meet with him. " No thank you, we are here to inspect the rooms and discuss the important stuff. " he said in a cold voice. " certainly, how silly of me....please follow me. " she stood showing Kabir sir the way. Excuse me ...I am looking for a rental house not Kabir sir. " Megha come ..." he called me making Miss pummy notice me for the first time but her eyes for some reasons dropped looking at my face. " oh ! how silly of me....follow us dear , you are the one who came to rent the house . " she said and together we started to walk towards the stair case , all the way she kept talking about the historical background of the house and trust me its not that bad from inside ....its tolerable. Rooms are in tolerable condition , their is little bed in the corner , one closet but the bathroom is not good. Hygiene is very important for me and I think the house wouldn't suit me. Still I roamed around and Kabir sir pointed out every necessary things which should be kept in mind while looking for a rent house. " your house is warm but we need Something different thank you for your time Mrs kaur. " said Kabir sir. " My pleasure.... I wish you would like this place but since you didn't .....it's a sad thing. " she whispered. we talked little more and than took our leave from that house. Must say bringing Kabir sir along was a good idea. " sir , my agent has sent me another address ....shall we ? " I asked him uncertain. He just looked at the address and said " okay " and we went to our new destination." How you managed to save that much amount of money ? " asked kabir sir. I knew he was going to ask that. " I have saved my pocket money , did tuitions , took dance classes and saved a good amount. And now I can afford renting a house. " I told him and he nodded. Than again silence ...we were silent for the chief moment of the ride making me sleepy so I asked him something fun. " Sir if you multiply the number of Valentine day card's you received at your college days and the time you were working as a professor with ten and than divide the number with five than what will you get ? " . He for sometime thought about it deeply and than reality stuck him...hard. " Really .....must say that was clever but I was quite a shy kid , not so attractive so in college got really less attention and now well they call me rude.... no cards." he said. okay college maybe but now... is he kidding. He saw my expression and asked " Don't you think so ? " Did he just asked about my opinion ?....it matters to him ? " Sir that lady literally tried to marry you the moment she saw you. " I told him and to my surprise he gave a surprised look and told " She did ??? " oh!!great he didn't even notice. " I didn't notice.... was too occupied. " he told. What was he occupied with ? " Next time do remind me to notice . " he told , really ....I will go crazy. I was going to comment on it but his phone ranged and as the phone was on the phone stand I saw the name written in it  ' Baby ' . Their is someone in the world who has courage enough to be his baby ???I pretend to not hear the conversation , he took the call and told " Baby I am driving , can I call you later.....yes , yes will be home soon for the party....I know ...yes I called panditji he said everything is OK..... Mummy agreed ....bye baby. " He cut the call . Is he planning to get married ?, what will I do let him do whatever he wants... god protect the girl he loves....she needs a lot of strength.
