I feel angry – very angry – at this ill-mannered girl – the way she has barged into my house and behaved in a most brazen manner.

Just imagine – she is in my son’s bedroom – probably in his bathroom having a hot shower.

For some time – I sit on the sofa – wondering what to do.

Then – I decide to call my son Rohan – but – as expected – his mobile phone is switched off – as expected – he always keeps his mobile phone off when he is working.

Hopefully – he will see my missed call and call me back during his lunch break.

I call my husband – he says he is stranded in the market because of the heavy rain – and he will come back after it stops raining.

I tell him to come home at once – take an autorickshaw or taxi or something.

“You want me to come home immediately…? Is there a problem…?” he asks me.

“Yes – there is a “intruder” in the house – I want you to come immediately and throw her out…” I say to my husband.

“Intruder…? Her…? Is it a woman…? Should I call the police…?” he asks – with anxiety in his voice.

“You just come home immediately…!!! Do you understand…?” I shout at my husband – and – I disconnect the call.

The door of Rohan’s room opens – and – the girl called “Tanya” – she comes out.

She is wearing Rohan’s clothes – shorts – and T-Shirt – they look quite baggy on her.

Her face looks presentable – and her short hair is combed like a man’s hairstyle – giving her a “Tomboyish” look.

The girl smiles at me and says: “Come on, Aunty – I am not an intruder – I told you I am Rohan’s friend…”

I give her a quizzical look – was she eavesdropping when I was speaking to my husband…?

“You were shouting so loudly on the mobile that I could hear everything in the other room…” the girl says with a smile.

“You can go now…” I say to her.

“Please, Aunty – let it stop raining – and let “Uncle” come home – I want to speak to both of you – that’s why I have come here – without telling Rohan…”

“Without telling Rohan…? I will call him right now – and tell him to come home and take you away…” I say to her.

“Aunty – you know that his mobile will be off now – you can call him after an hour – during lunch break…” she says.

“How do you know all this…?” I ask her.

“Aunty – Rohan and I work in the same office – we are colleagues…” she says, “in fact – we are more than just colleagues – we have been seeing each other for the last few months – and now – we want to take our relationship to the next level – we want to get married…” the girl says.

“What nonsense…!!!” I say – taken aback.

“I want to marry your son Rohan – and – I have come to take your permission to do so…” she says, with a smile.

“No. No. It’s not possible – Rohan has never told me about you – he tells me everything…” I say – when she interrupts me.

“I know, Aunty – Rohan wanted us to elope and get married…” she says.

“Elope…?” I say, stunned out of my wits.

This is a total shock to me – I thought my son Rohan was “Mamma’s Boy” – normally – he told me everything – but – Rohan had not told me about this girl – and worse – I never expected him to betray me and elope and marry this girl.

It is unbelievable.

The doorbell rings.

“It must be “Uncle”…!!!” the girl says excitedly – and she quickly goes to open the door.

The girl opens the door.

My husband stands outside – looks at the girl.

“Hello Uncle – I am Tanya – the “intruder”…!!!” the girl says with a mischievous smile.

My husband looks at the girl – he looks at the clothes she is wearing – Rohan’s T-Shirt and Shorts.

Then – he looks at me and raises his eyebrows as if questioning me.

The girl moves aside and says to my husband: “Uncle – why don’t you go in and dry yourself up…? Then – we can sit and talk…”
