The autumn rain fell on the leaves, and the cool breeze whistled.
Sundar parked his car and made his way into his apartment. He feels little tipsy from the drink he shared with Shyam.
When he passed a lobby to his apartment, he saw his neighbour talking fiercely to a lady. Sundar shifted his gaze at the scene, slowing down his steps. He faintly heard them talking about the the apartment. His neighbour voice dominate leaving no place for the lady to argue back.
"Mr. Judge" His neighbour suddenly called him making Sundar stiffened him on the spot. He slowly walked towards his neighbour as he can't just walk ahead as if nothing happened.
"Mr Judge.... You see, it's ridiculous! My crazy wife sold this apartment without my consent to this arrogant lady. This lady came from nowhere and told me to move out. I already gave my word, I will never ever move out from here" Sundar's neighbour said indifferently.
The lady just frowned caressing her forehead in frustration. The lady looked at him for a few moments and then persuaded again, "Uncle, I came here from very far place. I gave you two days to move out from this apartment. It's not like I just barged here with just some paper. I really don't know about your relationship with your wife, you guys solved it or not"
"No, Never!" Sundar's neighbour said and closed the door in flash without any warning.
"Uncle! Uncle!" The lady knock on the door with worried tone. She almost lose unbalanced with all the argument.
"Are you okay?" Sundar asked.
"I am okay!" The lady replied. She finally lifted her head to face him. She didn't even spare a glance the whole time as she was lost in her deep thoughts.
In that moment, a fierce footsteps along with a sharp voice came .
"You didn't pick up your phone because you are having fun here" A woman with arrogant look stood in front of them.
"It's because of this bi*ch right!" The Woman pointed at Sundar.
Sundar face darkened seeing the girl. "Let's talk outside" He said in rritating tone. "why?" The woman crossed her hands in her chest not having any intention to move.
"Anila!" Sundar called her with sharp voice knitting his eyebrows.
Sensing some uncomfortable vibes, the lady try to excuse herself lowering her head. But before she took a step, Anila grabbed her wrists and snorted, "Where are you going after you snatched my man?"
"Anila...." Sundar forcefully pulled away Anila. "Don't make scene here" Sundar shivered in anger.
In a flash, the sound of a more forceful slap echoed around the lobby. The lady eyes turned red as her cheek burned from that resounding slap she had gotten.
"What are you doing?" Sundar roared with his hands hung in the mid air. He put his hand down and said pointing his index finger sharply "Anila! You crossed my line"
Anila opened her mouth to say something but she snapped it when she saw the bloodshed eyes of Sundar.
The lady didn't feel the pain as she was more shock when Anila slap her. She breaths heavily and she felt tears tearing up. She arrived in this new place for the first time because of her works. She don't know what to do or where to get help when the apartment stubborn guy refused to move out.
In that moment, Her wrists suddenly grabbed by someone. She unconsciously followed and had no idea where she stands. She only sensed back when she heard a sound of closing a door.

"Are you okay? I am so sorry....! Everything is messed up... Wait! I shouldn't explained to you" Sundar sutters. "I am truly sorry. Please forgive me" Sundar said hastily folding his hands begging her. He don't know how to express but deep inside he was dying in embarrassment.
"I am fine" The lady replied in soft tone. Sundar felt little relief when the lady atleast replied back.
"Please sit down! I will bring ice for your face. It look swollen" Sundar said and hastily ran towards his kitchen.
