Hearing the voice of someone who was not Raymond at Raymond's house, Akira got startled and thus, immediately wrapped her trench coat back in a jiffy.
Raymond tried hard not to laugh, but it was evident from his face that he was dying to laugh out loud and that made her even more embarrassed.
"God Akira !!! How could you embarrass yourself like this !!!", she thought in her head and cursed herself in every possible way known to her.
Then looking in the direction of the man who had just spoken, she said,
"Sorry, my bad !!!".
Raymond had already turned red because of suppressing his laugh so hard for so long. So finally looking at Akira he said,
"Jesus Christ !!! Meet my childhood friend Michael".
"This is my ... This is Akira !!!", he paused and spoke after much contemplation because he knew that even one wrong word that would come out of his mouth, would be used by Michael to tease him till eternity.
