THE “TOMBOY” – PART 1

_______

The doorbell rings.

It must be my husband.

Hope he is not drenched.

It is raining heavily – a sudden unexpected shower – so – my husband must have gone out without an umbrella.

I open the door.

I am taken aback with surprise.

Instead of my husband – I see a horrible looking creature standing outside the door.

Actually – it is young woman – but – she looks so disheveled and dirty – that “creature” is an apt word to describe her.

She is totally drenched – and looks horrible – covered from head to toe with filthy wet mud – as if she has had a “mud bath”.

“Hello Aunty…” she says.

Why is this girl calling me “Aunty” – I wonder to myself.

“Who are you…? What do you want…?” I ask her rudely.

“I am Tanya – Rohan’s friend…” she says.

For a moment – I am perplexed – my son Rohan – he is such a nice well-groomed boy – how can he have such scruffy girl as a friend.

I decide to call up Rohan and ask him.

But – before I can do that – the girl says to me: “Aunty – aren’t you going to ask me to come in…?”

And – she brazenly pushes her way into my house.

Shocked by her impertinent behaviour – I feel very angry at her.

I want to throw this filthy woman out my house.

“Should I call the police…? Is she some sort of criminal – a thief who has come to burgle my house…?” I wonder to myself.

But – before I can react – she speaks again.

“Aunty – I didn’t think it would rain today – I was caught off-guard by a sudden heavy shower – and I got all drenched – I even got sprayed by a shower of mud as a passing car drove over a puddle…” she says – and – she walks past me towards the bedrooms.

While walking – she looks at me – and she says to me: “Aunty – I will go and dry myself – maybe I’ll have a nice hot shower – and put on some dry clothes…”

And – she walks towards Rohan’s room.
“How does she know the layout of your house…” I wonder to myself.

So – I ask her: “Have you been here before…?”

She says: “Yes – Rohan had brought me here once – when you had gone a tour to Europe – in fact – we spent the night together…”

“What…? You stayed here with Rohan the whole night…?” I ask, scandalized.

“Aunty – it’s not what you think – we didn’t do anything improper – he had brought me here to show me the house – we were just planning to spend the evening together having pizza and beer – and – it suddenly started raining heavily – just like today – so – Rohan asked me to stay here – it rained heavily the entire night – so – I went back in the morning…” she says to me.

Then – she opens the door of Rohan’s room – she goes inside – and she closes the door.

I stand there – totally flabbergasted – by her insolent behaviour.
