She moved towards the right side of the building and found the staircase which leads to the terrace. She started climbing the stairs and reached the terrace. SHE found a small room on the terrace, which looks like a store room size and no one can stay in this room space.
Priya: (When I reach near to the store room, I found the door was open and no one else is there on the terrace. So, I slowly peeked into the store room and found a man standing inside the store room facing away from me placing a high stool with a support of a small piece of a wooden log. He looks short height, lean body, black skin tone, bald head, wearing only t-shirt and lungi. I sharply cleared my throat) uhhnn… hunnn… hmmm…. (On hearing my voice, the old man turned his head towards me and saw me. I presumed this is the first time he is seeing me in a bright day light. The man looks around age 65 years old, little mustache and beard but looks white colored hairs with an ugly and disgusting face. He was watching and glancing me for a while without blinking his eyes and puffing a beedi in his mouth. Then he suddenly came to his senses and wished me).
Old man: (When I was balancing the stool on the floor, I heard a sound of someone clearing their throat. Suddenly, turned towards my back and saw a lady standing at the door. I was mesmerized by her beauty and structure. I was also surprised who is this lady is and why is she here? Then I realized that she was noticing me, and so I wished her) Good morning madam!!!.
Priya: (I was already mad at him for what he did, so, I don’t want to respond and extend the talk. So, I quickly sticked to the point) Are you the receptionist guy here?
Old man: (She looks little tensed and bit irritated. She didn’t even mind me wishing and raised a question to me!) Yes madam! Am the receptionist here, but there are no rooms available here now for next couple of days!
Priya: Did I asked you for a room? Am already staying here with my husband in your room. Actually am here to ask you something!!!
Old man: (So, she is that beauty and gorgeous angel that I was enjoying yesterday, how lucky I was. But why is she here! Did she recognized me what I did last night? But I didn’t expressed it and continued to speak normally!) Oh! you are Prakash Sir’s wife?
Priya: Yes! I came here to ask you that, some of my stuffs got missing from the room. I think someone has stolen it.
Old man: (Oh! She is here for her bra and panty, so she did not recognized me) No madam! It can’t be? Normally, I stay in that room and I let the room to Prakash sir for last night as he requested me to provide a room stay for one night. So, no one will come to that room except me.
Priya: So, it must be you who came to the room yesterday to give the food parcel right?
Old man: Err… Ahh… Nnnn… Nooo madammm… I… I ahhh… I gave it to a small kid to give the food parcel to that room, because I was busy talking with a customer at the same time.
Priya: (Old man is clearly lying, he could not even speak up properly, because am sure it was him who came yesterday and he is not
ready to admit for it) Where were you last night?
Old man: Madam, I was here only madam!!!
Priya: I know you were here, but where did you slept?
Old man: I slept in my rrrr… (Oh no stop it! don’t say that, she is investigating you. Be careful!!!) Maaadammm… Errrr. III… Actually madam, I usually sleep in my room, but since you both have occupied the room, I think I slept in the reception area… Actually madam I had a quarter alcohol yesterday and I was boozed out, so I don’t remember where did I slept and what happened yesterday.
Priya: (His answers are not quite convincing. He keeps changing his statement, unreliable and blabbering. So, what he is saying is not right he is just fabricating his story in a different way) You look fresh. If you have slept in the reception area, then where did you got refreshed and took bath?
Old man: (I got scared when she started scrutinizing more into this) Madam… Aiyeee… I have taken bath behind this lodge, there is a open tap, which we will be using it when required (I know I lied, but what to do! We don’t know what she will do, if she knows it was me).
Priya: (When I heard this statement from him, I confirmed that it was him who came to the room, and he is just fabricating the stories and alibi. On hearing his answers and the way he covering up, but I didn’t responded anything to him and just looking at him sharply).
Old man: Madam! What was missing from your room? If you tell me I’ll try to find it?
Priya: (How dramatic of this old man! I know it was him who took it and now he will conduct a fake investigation to get it back) They are my clothes, which I hanged it on the hanger last night before I went to sleep. When I come to bathroom in the morning it was not there!
Old man: Madam, do you have any habit of sleep walking or for your husband?
Priya: (Bloody old man, you are now framing it on us?) No! We do not have such thing?
Old man: Madam, did you locked your room during night time while sleeping?
Priya: (I glanced him from to top to bottom at once and said) Yes, I did! But, there is not proper lock for your room! Why? don’t you know it yourself?
Old man: Yes madam! Sorry sorry!!! I almost forgot it. By the way, are the clothes expensive?
Priya: (Finally, the old man is coming to the point! What shall we do, we need to go amicably in order to get it) Yes, they are quite expensive, more than that it was the first set of gift my husband gave it to me since we married! So, it’s quite sentimental! (Saying this, I bowed my head down and expressed a sadness on my face. On seeing this, the old man approached close to me).
Old man: (When she was sentimentally affected by this and felt sad by this, I approached close to her. We were just standing one feet distance between us. I slowly brought my right hand to her face and placed it on her chin. I slowly lift her face to face towards me. As soon as she lifted her face, she started coughing and waving her hand left to right and right to left near her nose).
Priya: (When he placed his hands on my chin and lifted my head up, the burnt beedi he was holding between his fingers was exhibiting the strong smoke which was hitting my nose made me to cough, so I was trying to get rid of that smoke!)
Old man: Oh! Sorry madam. Let me finish smoking this beedi from outside. You please get inside the room, so the smoke will not impact you (Saying that, I moved towards the exit door by passing her).
Priya: (When I reach near to the store room, I found the door was open and no one else is there on the terrace. So, I slowly peeked into the store room and found a man standing inside the store room facing away from me placing a high stool with a support of a small piece of a wooden log.
