Please read the previous part here ( Maid from Heaven – Part 43 ). Now let’s continue
Guru asked “so what is the problem now”? I said “well I am not sure if I might have made the wrong decision”. He asked “does the other person also feel the same”?
I said “no, I don’t think so because it was me who pushed the other person”. Guru said “well, you are simply wasting your time and energy. Just go with the flow and enjoy life as it comes. Now cheer up and go home”.
Guru did not say anything out of the ordinary but for some reason after talking to him I was feeling much better and without regrets. Now I was all the more determined to be with her and enjoy her swinging lifestyle like there is no tomorrow.
I saw the time it was past 9.30pm, shit I was late. I was supposed to be back by 9pm and take Uma out. I rushed back home only to find Jiju’s car parked outside my gate.
I parked behind his and went inside using my keys. I saw Jiju pacing up and down in the living room, when he saw me he had a shocked/ surprised look on his face.
I said “Hi Jiju, what are you doing here”? He said “oh Krishna, I wanted to meet you for some urgent financial help to execute one large order”. I said “you could have called me before coming right”?
Jiju said “well I was in the area so I just dropped in”. Now I have personal principles to keep money and friendship separate otherwise it results in uncomfortable situations and burning bridges.
So I said “well lots of my own money is stuck in the market and I am coming from there only. Sorry I cannot help you now”. Jiju said “Please Krishna, you are my last resort. I have already tried other options”.
I said “ok, if my payments come thru then I will try something but I cannot promise. And next time you call me on my cell before coming home”. He said ok and left. Now Uma came out of the kitchen.
She was dressed in a burgundy mini dress looking killer. She came to me beaming with happiness and gave me a bear hug with lots of kisses. After the kisses, I asked “so when did Jiju come”?
Uma said “about thirty minutes ago, why”? I said “nothing. Next time tell him to come when I am there, not like this”. She asked “why what happened”? I said “I am saying for your safety”.
She smiled and said “don’t worry Krishna, he is harmless. I kind of like him, he has a very good sense of humour too”. I asked “so did he do anything”?
She looked into my eyes and said “well we were just getting warmed up when we heard you open the main gate. Maybe if we had more time then he probably would have”.
I asked “and you would have let him”? Uma said “yes why not? There is no harm in having some fun with him, and then you only said long back remember”? I did not know what to say now.
Then I remembered Guru’s advice, so I smiled and said “yes why not especially if he is able to make you happy”. Uma was still looking into my eyes with her arms around my neck.
She said “Krishna why do I sense that you are feeling jealous and insecure about me”? I knew I had goofed up and Uma was mature enough to pick it up.
