I called Sam back and Sami said that Leena came to me, she needed your help. She looked very worried. You call her, she has given me her number. Hearing this I felt ashamed of myself. She was looking for me to help her and I shamed her. What have I done? While going home, Leena's crying face is flashing in front of me. I am feeling guilty. I saw a drink shop and I bought bottles of alcohol from there. I reached my floor by the lift of my apartment. I am standing in front of Leena's house. But I am not getting the courage to ring the doorbell. I want to know everything. Because of me her certificate was questioned. What have I done? I am feeling suffocated inside. What should I do?
It has been a long time since I have been standing here, but Leena has not opened the door yet. As soon as I turned towards my house, I saw Leena standing in front of the lift. Leena has a bag in her hand. And her face is still swollen. She is holding a bouquet of flowers in her other hand. The bouquet has yellow and white colored flowers. Leena comes close to me. I saw that there is a sad expression on her face. Her eyes filled with tears as soon as she saw me. I am the reason for those tears. Leena did not say anything to me. I am standing near the door of her house and watching her open the door. I am not getting the courage to talk to her. Then I gathered courage and said, would you like to have a drink? It will not be fun to drink it alone. Leena looked at me, I thought she would refuse. She turned the flowers in her hand towards me. It was as if she punched me on my chest under the cover of those flowers. I deserve this. She took off her long coat and kept it in the corridor between our flats. Leena said to me, we should sit here. For a moment I could not understand anything. I said, here? Leena, I cannot come to your house. And I do not want to take you inside my house either. I also took off my blazer and had just lowered my hand to keep it on the floor when Leena held my hand and stopped me. She said that it will get dirty. She took out a scarf from her bag and spread it on the floor and said sit on it. I loosened my tie a little and folded the sleeves of my white shirt upwards. And sat there. Leena took out a bottle of drink from her bag. She got up and brought glasses and snacks from her house. She has spoken only one word to me so far. Leena said, it is really not fun to drink alone. She filled two glasses and when I picked up the glass, she cheered. And emptied the whole glass in one go.
