As his curiosity was piqued with Rehan's words, Dheer stopped and went ahead with them.
'There's no way I'll let you escape my little revenge Dheer. You all have to suffer a little for doubting me.' Rehan sneered as the elevator began to move downward.
After two hours, a sweaty and tired entourage of friends entered an apartment complex carrying the luggage that they were supposed to move.
They were breathing harshly as they stopped in front of the elevator and entered it.
"Which floor?" Sam asked breathing heavily.
"Thirtieth" Rehan answered. He appeared less sweaty and was in better condition than the rest.
"Jeez, these bags are heavy. Did Anaya put in stones in these? " Arav complained as he leaned against the elevator wall and gasped.
"These must be her books, I guess. It's good that you girls carried the luggage with her clothes." Sam said gasping.
"Damn this place is so far from my place. What were you thinking while selecting this place for my Anaya, Rehan? How am I supposed to get close to her when she will live this far from my place? Besides, how is she going to manage travel to and fro to the hospital daily? She will be so tired." Dheer asked still gasping for air.
"And the worst we have to walk for fifteen minutes before we can get my public commute. I know that she has her own car but what if someday she got a flat tire and have to hail a taxi? No, this place is a big No for her. Look for other places before I come from this camp guys. I don't trust Rehan on this anymore." Dheer continued.
Just as Arav was going to say something, the elevator door opened.
"Why does this place look familiar?" Eva commented as she stepped out of the elevator and looked around.
"Yes, it's awfully familiar. As if we have come here before. And that to too many times." Aisha's said looking around.
"You girls stop talking for now. First let us settle her luggage and then we can view the scenery here, all we want" Arav said as he tried hard to drag the box he was carrying. He was gasping heavily.
Dheer and Sam made a sound of agreement and continued carrying their baggage.
Rehan led the way and stopped in front of an apartment. "This is our destination friends. Be happy now. You don't have to carry this weight anymore."
As soon as everyone reached in front of the door Dheer, Sam, and Arav put down the things they were carrying as if they had thorns in them and sat beside the wall to fill their lungs with much needed air and to take rest for a bit. They were at their limit and were unable to move even an inch.
Eva, Aisha and Elisa followed the suit. Although the things they were carrying were lighter than that of Dheer and others, they were still tired given the distance they had to walk carrying them.
Indeed there were trolley bags but the way they had come through was under construction so they had no choice but to carry them throughout the way.
Rehan smirked, he had purposefully chosen that path to get his sweet revenge. He just stood there and silently observed them. He was waiting to watch their reaction when they find out the truth. 'This is what you get for beating me last time and leading my baby to say that she will divorce me. Hmphh..'
Ten minutes later, After catching their breath and some strength Elisa said, "Dheer, call Anaya and ask her when will she reach here. She has the key to the apartment. I am so tired that I can't even move a muscle."
Although Dheer's condition was no different from theirs, he still called Anaya to ask her when she will reach her new place.
Just as he asked this, the door to the apartment unlocked from inside, and out came Anaya still holding the phone by her ear. As she saw the state they were in, she felt sorry for them. Then she turned towards Rehan and said "Don't you think you went a little overboard with this little revenge of yours?"
Rehan just shrugged off his shoulders and entered the apartment with the luggage he was carrying.
Anaya shook her head at this and turned to others and said with a sheepish smile "I'm so sorry guys, I didn't know that Rehan would go to this extent on his prank."
Everyone else -_-
"Please come in and have some water then you all can relax for a bit. I'll move these things inside, don't worry" Anaya said as she took the bag from Elisa's hand and entered the apartment leaving a confused group of friends outside.
