Unlocking the door, she opened it wide to face Ethan but only to get the biggest shock of her life to see the least expected person over there..
"You?" Katherine's voice came out more like a shock.
She couldn't believe what or who she was seeing right now. It was completely out of her imagination that this particular person would be standing right now, just in front of her.
"Yes, it's me… Surprised, aren't you?" The other person asked with a mischievous smile playing on her lips.
"Surprise? I'm literally shocked to see you here at this moment. What are you doing here by the way? As much as I remember, I haven't given you the address of my new home." Katherine asked confusedly as she clearly remembered that she hadn't got time to talk to anyone other than her parents in these two days.
"Oh my god, Kathy darling! How many questions you have stored in this little brain of yours? Okay fine.. I'll give answers to your every question..
But first, let me get inside. Is this the way to treat your guests? Hmm.. Seems like I have to complain to Aunty for this rude behaviour of yours." The other girl said with a hint of irritation in her voice.
Katherine bit her tongue for her stupidity and slapped her forehead before saying, "Yes.. Yes.. My dear best friend, Oly.. Please come in first. Then you have to give me answers of my every question."
Olivia who was standing at the door, grinning like an idiot, didn't waste anymore time and entered inside in a lightening speed.
"Woah! You have a really beautiful house, Kathy. I must say that Ethan has a great choice." Olivia said, taking a look of the living room.
Katherine smiled like a proud wife and said, "Yes.. He really has a great taste in everything. Why don't you sit here and let me make a cup of coffee for you?"
Olivia nodded her head and sat there while Katherine went to the kitchen to prepare two cups of coffee for both of them.

"So.. Will you care to tell me now how you got the address of my home? I'm sure Mumma hadn't told you as she was busy with our relatives." Katherine said, sipping her coffee.
"Yes.. You're right. It's not Aunty who had given me the address but your husband yourself had called me to visit you. He said that he was going to office for some important work..
So to avoid you from getting bored, he asked me to spend some time with you. I must say, he really cares about you, Kathy." Olivia revealed with a happy glint on her face.
Katherine was completely baffled with whatever she had heard from her best friend. Day by day, Ethan was proving himself to be the best husband of the world..!!
She couldn't describe the feeling she was going through right now. It was an unconventional feeling which she was proud to have in her heart.
"Ethan? He did all of those just for me?" Katherine asked, still in disbelief.
Olivia nodded her head and said, "Yes, babe.. He really did."
A smile bloomed on her lips in an instant but it soon disappeared when a thought suddenly hit her mind like a thunderbolt.
"But… How did Ethan get your number?" Katherine asked, being completely puzzled.
Olivia who was drinking the coffee with so much pleasure, suddenly chocked on it at the mention of Ethan getting her phone number.
'Oly! You are dead right now! What are going to say to Kathy now? Think of something really fast, Oly… Think…' Olivia thought internally, trying to find a perfect excuse to present in front of her best friend.
Katherine narrowed her eyes at her bestie who was lost in deep thoughts as if trying to cook something in her mind which ignited a wave of doubt in her mind.
"Oly.. Where are you lost? Are you trying to hide something from me?" Kathy asked skeptically with doubtful eyes.
"Uhmm… No no.. What will I hide from you, Kathy? You know very well that we don't keep secrets between us, right?" Olivia tried to convince Katherine to the fullest but didn't really succeed in it.
In fact, Katherine's frown got deeper than ever as she asked like a strict headmaster of a reputed school, "How did he get your number then?"
"Ahh… That…. That… actually what happened is.. actually I…" Olivia tried to form proper words but failed miserably.
This was enough to make Katherine frustrated as she literally growled in irritation, "Offo, Oly! Can your train now move forward without any more stop in between?
Will you please stop behaving like a culprit of a thriller show now and reveal everything without stammering like a scared cat anymore?"
